Great music, unique surroundings, different age groups, clean, tidy and the friendliest bar staff I have ever met. This was my third or fourth visit and it just gets better. Staff have been excellent each time I've been there. More

The atmosphere is simply fabulous! We met many people from all over, and the staff were friendly and stopped to chat for about 20 minutes. There was great Irish music playing that was fun though not overpowering. Fabulous historic decorations, a cozy fire and good people. Must see! More

A little crowded but great place to meet people, listen to the music and have a pint or more. I enjoy sitting outside listening to the music and getting some air. More

Kellys is steeped in history and is very popular with locals (young and old), and tourists alike. It dates back centuries and maintains it's original character to this day. Going in is like stepping back in time. Stone floors, wooden ceiling beams, and lots of interesting items hanging from the roof and adorning the walls. Celebrities have been spotted here... More

This backstreet pub is steeped in history but that's the only thing the place has got going for it. A dingy and an unwelcoming atmosphere will greet you. Definitely not a place to relax and feel comfortable in. That said, if you want an antidote to pretentious wine bars, you'll probably love it! More

Here is popular , unique I think, Irish tradition - 'craic' (is how to spell it). 'Craic' is to go out with friends, drink alcohol and have chat and fun. Make laugh, maybe tell stories or - after many more - sing songs. Wonderful Why do people not do this in other parts of world; Poland, Germany, France, England, Scotland,... More

If you want to experience a true Irish pub, look no further. This place is small, dark, quaint, and a great place to enjoy a pint. More
