Description
Property Partners Doherty Buggy presents 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 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. THE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY: While celebrating its historic charm, the property can operate to handle high-volume modern trade. The Layout: The ground floor opens into a warm main Bar, leading to a larger lounge area along with a pool room which can host events, live music sessions, or private parties. Growth Vectors: Tremendous scope exists to develop and expand to the rear for a beer garden, convert outbuilds, or utilize the overhead living space as a boutique Airbnb rental. The entire building extends to approximately 388 Sq. M. / 4,176 Sq. Ft (not including attic space at third floor level). O’DONNELLS PUBLIC HOUSE: The accommodation in O’Donnell’s Public House extends to approximately 141 Sq. M. / 1,603 Sq. Ft. on the ground floor with a main Bar, lounge, pool room, Ladies and Gents toilets and a storeroom. The main Bar measures approximately 53 Sq. M. / 570 Sq. Ft. provides bar stool at a tradition L-shaped bar as well as table seating. The Lounge room measures approximately 29 Sq. M. / 312 Sq. Ft. with two windows overlooking the square in the village. A Pool Room to the rear is accessed from the Bar and measures approximately 41 Sq. M. / 441 Sq. Ft. RESIDENCE: This splendid late-1700s Georgian residence stands as a masterpiece of classical architecture. It perfectly balances historic grandeur with symmetric design. The accommodation layout extends to approximately 239 Sq. M. / 2,572 Sq. Ft. approx. spanning over two levels. The layout at first floor level comprises: grand entrance hall, formal living room, five well-proportioned bedrooms (two with en-suites) and a family bathroom. The main staircase from the entrance hall leads down to the kitchen/dining room and the Bar & Lounge at ground floor level. The second-floor level is accessed from a second staircase which is enclosed off the formal entrance hall.
