Recommended by a close friend for Toasties. Not even close & service was awful. Our servers,…read morebartender were very nice, but not always there to bring condiments, the bacon, or extra ice. Toasties are supposed to come out in a foiled type wrap from the oven, this was a grilled ham & cheese & just ok. I could get this in America. The Clam Chowder was good, not great. The Bacon Cheeseburger came w/ no Bacon & was super sloppy & not worth ordering for a burger fix. The bun was bigger than the burger & still sloppy. After eating more than half of the burger, the server finally came out so that eliminated the need to ask for the bacon. It's a very nautical ambience & maybe we all ordered incorrectly or should have asked a regular for suggestions.

Walk around to the side of the building to enter*** This place was unique, decorated on every surface. Netting, shells, fishing floats all over the ceiling. Antiques all around, there was a trunk for a table in the area we sat at, then they opened a curtain to another room for overflow. We sat at a large table for our group that ventured over for the night. Great ambiance, I can't speak to the service because I didn't go up to the bar to order. We loved the live music and the experience we had with our friends that night.

All of us were so happy with our meals and drinks and couldn't have asked for a better first night for our whole group. This is a place that more people need to try out. I had a tortellini dish and it was so well flavored - I tend to like a little more sauce but didn't ask for it - have a strong feeling that if I had asked, it would have been provided.

We went to Birr to see if we could possibly track them down. The first place we stopped at was Kelly's pub. We had the best service and ate the best food. The soup was served with fresh homemade brown bread & Irish butter and the cottage pie was served piping hot with a rich flavour that felt not only delicious but nutritious too, The vegetables we were served tasted like they had just been picked. We asked the waitress if she could direct my American friend regarding sources of possible information on her long lost Irish relatives. Before I knew what was happening the owner John drove us to meet her family. He made phone calls, got their address and brought us there himself. I was so proud that my friend got to see the magic of Irish hospitality and selfless acts of kindness towards a stranger. I highly recommend this bar, the owner John, his staff and all customers that helped a stranger find her long lost Irish relatives. #goforthefoodstayforthepeople #ifieverwriteabookthiscouldbeachapter
