Welcome to Lock 13 Brewpub – Ireland’s Most Welcoming Brewpub Experience.

Nestled along the Grand Canal in Sallins, County Kildare, Lock 13 Brewpub is a family-run Irish gem owned and operated by Barry and Ola Flanagan and supported by an incredible, passionate team. Our mission is simple: to become the best brewpub in Ireland by staying true to what matters – great food, world-class Irish beer, and warm, genuine hospitality.

We’re proud to brew award-winning craft beer onsite at our Kildare Brewing Company, using only the finest Irish malt and ingredients sourced from Irish farms. Every pint we pour is a tribute to the rich brewing traditions of Ireland, with a modern twist that excites the senses.

But we’re not just about the beer. Our kitchen champions the best of Irish produce – from tender meats to seasonal vegetables – cooked with care and served with love. Whether you're joining us for a brewery tour, a barge trip along the canal, or simply a laid-back meal with friends and family, you’ll be welcomed as if you’re an old friend returning home.



At Lock 13, hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. Our team is here not just to serve you, but to create memorable experiences that bring people together. We believe in honest food, fresh pints, and good company.

So whether you're exploring Kildare, looking for an authentic Irish brewpub experience, or just craving the perfect plate of food and a great pint, we invite you to come as a guest and leave as a friend.
