Kilkenny, Ireland

Nightlife Tour in Kilkenny

Kilkenny transforms after dark. The neighborhoods that feel familiar by day take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover the nightlife is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do.

A medieval Irish city of limestone laneways, a Norman castle, and a concentration of craft and design studios.
