This was my last day in Ireland before I flew back south to Australia. This was the perfect send off. Great food, great atmosphere, and there was 5 or so guys playing great music. And the pints definitely helped. Out of all the pubs in the great green jewel of Ireland, this place was my favourite. When I return, this is on my list to come back to.

Great Irish pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, the drinks were excellent, and the traditional feel of the place made it a great spot to relax. The music, vibe, and hospitality really captured the spirit of an Irish pub. Would definitely come back again!

Visited here before a match in Croke Pk on friday evening. Was very busy, naturally. The food we had was very good although it did take a while to get it. Staff were excellent. However, the noise level was way too high. They had 2 race meetings on different televisions plus golf on another whilst the music was blaring. Very difficult to hear each other and the staff had problems, hearing what customers were ordering. Suggest tirning down the music.

We had a fabulous stay here. The bedrooms are clean and tidy. Towels, Coffee, tea, cups and glasses are already in your rooms. The pub itself is brilliant. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is beautifully presented, fresh, and very tasty. They have live music on at night. Very near bus stops into Dublin City, or do what we did and walk and see all the sites by foot. Kennedys is a hidden Gem. We will definetly be back again.

Ok accomodation,no major complaints. Excellent food and pints. I was, upon reflection, a little harsh with a three star review overall. And with comments like that from the manager it deserves it.The staff are brilliant and were always on hand to take orders for either food , drinks or both.
