"Where every cocktail tells a story and every evening becomes a memory."
Upstairs at Lock 13 Brewpub · Grand Canal, Sallins, Co. Kildare
Nestled above Lock 13 Brewpub on the historic Grand Canal, The Thirteen is Kildare's best-kept secret — and now it doesn't have to be.
Inspired by the speakeasies of Prohibition-era America, every detail of The Thirteen has been designed to transport you somewhere else. Art Deco styling, low lighting, intimate booths, and a cocktail menu that takes the craft seriously.
Our bartenders don't just mix drinks. They source local Irish spirits, experiment with seasonal ingredients, and create cocktails that are worth talking about long after the night ends.
The perfect group activity. Our bartenders teach you the theory and the technique behind great cocktails — then you make three yourselves, drink them, and leave better equipped for life.
Ideal for hen parties, birthdays, corporate team nights, and anyone who simply wants to learn how to make a proper Old Fashioned.
