Hartes was re-opened in December 2009 by brother’s in-law Paul Lenehan and Ronan Kinsella. Formerly known as Ollie’s or the Vatican this bar was always known to be a busy and well run establishment. Unfortunately it closed its doors in 2004 like a lot of other pubs and lay dormant until December 2009 when it re-opened was renamed as Hartes of Kildare. “With over 30 years of experience and knowledge behind us we thought that Kildare town was ready for a Gastro Pub”. …. Paul. Proud members of the Restaurants Association of Ireland, the Vintners Association of Ireland and Good Food Ireland Hartes has firmly put itself on the map.https://arrow.tudublin.ie/menus21c/1367/thumbnail.jp
