A brand new Kilkenny pub has promised 'new beginnings' and a 'fresh start' following its long-awaited opening.
McSorley's opened its doors on 61 John Street Upper on Wednesday, February 18, after a prolonged period of public closure.
"After a prolonged period of public closure," the pub posted to social media.
"We’ve poured our hearts into bringing this beautiful building back to life, honouring its history while creating something new for the next chapter.
"Here’s to new beginnings, great nights, and making memories all over again," they added.
The premises previously operated as 'Brogan's' which proved to be a popular nightlife destination.
