Malzards in Lawcus

We called in and were treated to fabulous hospitality … delicious Irish stew, a huge Guinness and some wonderful singing

Malzards Pub is probably the most authentic country pub you could ever go to with the best pint of stout in Kilkenny by a mile. Recent winner of the best pub in Ireland. It truly lives up to this accolade. Fred and Gary are two of the soundest bartenders you could meet. You could walk in there any day of the week and the place is buzzing. A big stop off for tour buses. The hurling experience is a big hit with the US tourists. Locals are really sound too. My family and I also had the pleasure of staying in Fred's rental house adjoining the pub for nearly two months and this was a great experience. Fred and Bríd couldn't do enough for us during our stay. Great hosts. At the time of writing this review, the newly built beer garden has opened for business and is supposed to be fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for everything Fred.

Atmosphere and welcome couldn’t be better! Loved the live music and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit!

Malzards don't do food, but Fred the landlord is the perfect host... Pub of 2024 is well deserved..

I visited Malzards during my tour of Ireland last week and had THE BEST TIME! One of my most memorable experiences in Ireland! I had the opportunity to learn about Hurling, practice some Hurling drills, and win the Hurling contest for my group 😝 I also had the opportunity to pour my own pint of Guinness. The chips in this pub were THE best chips I had in all of Ireland (I was trying to become a connoisseur of fish and chips… So I ate chips daily all around the country).

An absolute jewel of a pub. It's one of those places that you must see, it's like a time machine back to better times.. Beautifully laid out, amazing music. If you are near. Have a pint here

Fantastic pub! Great atmosphere! Must stop!
