Property Partners Doherty Buggy have brought to market a rare opportunity to acquire a deeply historic, beautifully preserved traditional Irish public house nestled in the heart of the historic and picturesque village of Inistioge in County Kilkenny.
Steeped in history dating back to c. 1775, O’Donnell’s Public House is a textbook example of a classic Irish pub. From its hand-painted exterior signage to its low-ceilinged charm, the property retains its original architectural features. It is not just a business; it is a cultural landmark where stories, traditional music, and community life have thrived for nearly two centuries.
Serving as the social cornerstone of the local community for generations, this iconic establishment blends time-honoured character with robust, modern commercial viability. For an investor, publican, or hospitality entrepreneur, it represents the ultimate turnkey acquisition in Ireland’s world-renowned hospitality sector.
O’Donnell’s Public House is located right on The Square in the centre of Inistioge with plenty of parking in close proximity. The property last traded in September 2023 and is now vacant and ready for re-opening.
Few places in Ireland quite capture the imagination in the way that Inistioge does. It's easy to see why filmmakers have chosen it as the backdrop for productions including Circle of Friends, The Secret Scripture and Widows' Peak.
Yet beyond its cinematic appeal lies a village with a genuine warmth and character that simply can't be scripted and must be experienced. Perhaps from the comfort of your own public house?
The licensed premises and residence commands an asking price of €395,000.
