Arán Bakery & Bistro

Aran Bakery and Bistro

Artisanal Bakery and Bistro

Artisanal Bakery and Bistro in the heart of Kilkenny city. The Bistro serves delicious brunches and dinners made from seasonal local produce, showcasing their house-made stone baked breads made with natural Irish ingredient. The Bakery & Deli offers take-away house-made sourdough, sweet and savoury pastries and coffee.

All of our breads are stone-baked daily in our bread oven and contain nothing but salt, water, flour and natural leaven or a fresh yeast culture. No preservatives. no chemicals. just nature. All our flours are grown and milled by our friends at The Little Mill built on the River Nore in Bennettsbridge Co. Kilkenny. We work closely with local producers from Kilkenny, Carlow and beyond. Because we are big believers and advocates of seasonality and local produce, our menus are like the weather - they can change from day-to-day.

For brunch, we work on a walk-in basis - tables are first come, first served - but if you have any special needs, a larger group or would like to sit in the dog-friendly area give us a shout and we'll try and accommodate you.

Dinner reservations can be made on our website. If you have a large group, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We are dog friendly.

Set-up in 2017 by Morgan Ging & his wife Anne, Ballykeefe Distillery is an eco-friendly, Single Estate Irish Family Farm Whiskey Distillery, located in picturesque countryside, just 15 minutes out-side the medieval city of Kilkenny, producing a range of premium spirits. A ‘field to glass’ family operation, every grain of barley in our Whiskey is sown, grown, harvested, milled and distilled on our family farm. Located in the area where the birth of Irish Whiskey was first recorded in 1324, Ballykeefe Distillery is a multiple award winner for quality and sustainability.

A tour of Ballykeefe Distillery is a must for anyone with an interest in Kilkenny’s historical association with Irish Whiskey. Our guided tour enables guests to explore our distillery and discover the ancient art of Irish Whiskey making and the craftmanship that goes into each of our casks. Guests will experience first-hand the sound, smell and feel of a fully operational distillery, with a behind-the-scenes tour visiting each stage of the brewing and distilling process. Guests will sample the spirits in the repurposed horse stable which now serves as the tasting room, with its high ceilings, exposed brick and reclaimed wood tables and bar, fresh with knowledge of their history and the craftsmanship devoted to their making. The duration of the tour is approx. 1 hour.

Guided Distillery Tours are offered on a request basis. Tours may be arranged, Monday to Friday (excl. Bank Holiday Mondays), subject to availability, from April to October.
