Need a pub to recommend in Thomastown & Inistioge

baronflyguy

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone from Thomastown & Inistioge could recommend a nice pub to visit for a saturday afternoon.
We'll be on a Bus passing through with 20 males (30-40 age group) and we want to enjoy a nice pint. Mature group who just want a pint while passing through kilkenny countryside. We are doing Karting in Kiltorcan first then heading to Thomastown.

So far this is what Im thinking

Inistioge - Woodstock Arms
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Inistioge,+Ireland&hl=en&ll=52.488517,-7.065209&spn=0.001267,0.004128&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.432436,135.263672&oq=inis&hnear=Inistioge,+County+Kilkenny,+Ireland&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.48854,-7.065373&panoid=tSi_YxwPwrqRLiq1uOaYpw&cbp=12,70.95,,0,4.8

Thomastown - Carrolls Bar
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Thomastown,+Kilkenny,+Ireland&hl=en&ll=52.526242,-7.137967&spn=0.001266,0.004128&sll=52.488539,-7.065373&sspn=0.001274,0.004128&oq=thomas,+Ireland&hnear=Thomastown,+County+Kilkenny,+Ireland&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.526179,-7.137834&panoid=4Jvhu7MHGGjk_uaQhdvmpQ&cbp=12,223.61,,0,11.46


Do you think the pubs I selected are ok and will be open on a Sat afternoon in Feb?
Google map link would be handy if you recommend another pub.

O hara's in thomastown is a nice sized bar,clean and tidy. Good pints and two fire places. The bridge brook is also nice, random rooms and quiet quirky.

Agree completely with this choice.
Lenehans in Inistioge is not bad either

Woodstock arms would be open and would be big enough. Is an alright pub aswell. Lenehans in Inistioge is alright aswell but is small enough. There is also O'Donnells in Inistioge aswell, no problems with that either.
