More information on Syd Harkin's

Syd's pub, as it is locally known, is a pleasant little haven from the bustle of Kilkenny Castle and Rose Inn Street. It was established in 1833 and retains a certain old-world atmosphere thanks in part to the wooden interior and the half-door. When you enter on a sunny day, it can take a minute or two to adjust to the sudden darkness. There is a small pool room, a television and central heating, and free newspapers are provided, which is always a good sign. There are a couple of rooms available, and some good soup and sandwiches on offer.
