Plan Your EventLock 13 started as a family-run pub in the heart of Sallins, on the banks of the Grand Canal. From day one we championed local produce, warm hospitality, and a space where everyone genuinely feels at home.
In 2017, we went further — building Kildare Brewing Company right on our terrace, making us Ireland's first purpose-built brewpub brewery. Every pint of KBC beer you drink was brewed just metres from where you're sitting.
We're not a chain. Not trying to be everywhere. We're Kildare's brewpub — and we intend to stay that way.

Go behind the taps. See how your pint goes from grain to glass in Ireland's first purpose-built brewpub brewery — right on our terrace. Guided, tasted, and genuinely brilliant.
