Sláinte and thank you for visiting our website.

The story of our beginnings was forged back in our home

county of Kilkenny in the South East of Ireland. We grew

up surrounded by Castles our whole life. Kilkenny Castle

is to this day, one of the most famous castles in the world,

and was also the medieval capital of Ireland.

The Hoynes have been running pubs for hundreds of

years. Our great grandparents ran a thriving pub / grocers / hardware store in our hometown of Thomastown. Providing hospitality is in our DNA.
