Irish Experience

Malzards pub Kilkenny

We are a 5th generation family business!
Dating back to 1789, the Malzard’s -O’Gradys Pub has been in the family of its current owner- Fred Malzard- for over five generations and 200 plus years. Originally, the business was started by James (“The Boss”) O’Grady, on the main street of Stonyford Village, County Kilkenny, to service a population that had risen locally due to the opening of a large woollen mill. In 1894, Fred’s great grandmother married a Malzard from the Channel Islands. When Fred’s grandfather- Alfie Malzard- returned to Stonyford to manage the pub, the Malzard name was added to the pub front. Intriguing history aside, this pub is all about family and community.

What Our Clients Say

This place is a MUST see when you visit Kilkenny. I went with a tour group and they had us stop at this pub to teach us about hurling and to have a pint after. That night was one of the most memorable nights of my life. I cannot say enough good things about this place! Also...they have COWS.

Fred Malzard greeted us on entry and saw us to the door with all the geniality and kindness that his true Irish heritage might suggest. His establishment is a world-class experience. Bring friends for an evening of fun.

Such a fun way to start our trip around Ireland. Super friendly and fun owners! We started outside with some lessons and fun with Hurling and then back into the pub for a pint, great music and comaraderie! A true pub experience

It was such a welcoming pub, love the owner, the atmosphere, the live music, the hurling, and the beer!! what an amazing time and the group I was with had a great time as well!
