Great and friendly service. Food really stinks. I think they know it, but they don't care which is really embarrassing if you're running an establishment that offers food. Extensive drink menu . Everything we ordered we left on the plate. Our server was good about it, but didn't refund anything. €90 down the tubes . Never again. Taught my kids a lot about Irish pubs and now they never wanna go back to one again. Great work if you're trying to run a business into the ground. read more

The best--and I mean BEST Irish lamb stew ever. It made me sad. I don't think I could ever make it this good. We had a delightful evening. Service was great, people were friendly. Drinks were great, lots of options, reasonably priced. The Mister had a hamburger and said it was excellent. The crowd was a fascinating mix--college students, people our age, the retired crowd. Very enjoyable. read more

O'Kellys - Irish Pub Near Me - Freiburg, BW

Dropped in on the way to Italy and after a long drive through southern Germany. Nice ambiance, quick and friendly service. If I studied in Freiburg, I'd probably be a regular there. All in all it is worth a visit. read more

I think about this place all the time. I studied abroad in Freiburg 7 years ago and I miss this place terribly. So many good times here with friends, so many good beers and laughs. The food is great! Miss you all the time, O'Kellys. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Good food , great drinks, service can be slow so expect to wait 30 minutes for someone to acknowledge that you need another beer

Fantastic selection of Irish whiskeys, knowledgeable servers and attentive barkeeps! Reasonable prices and great service at this Irish pub. Great service = timely, attentive, appreciative and helpful. They actually care about their customers here and you can tell. Whether you're in a 4-top attending an informal work meeting or a single at the bar, grabbing a pint while shopping... they are eager to help you and to treat you well. Cost is reasonable, and ticket is provided in a timely manner upon request. read more

See all

This pub could not be more authentic... For an Irish pub in Germany that is. Smells like an Irish pub when you walk in and has a familiar feeling right away. Love the woman we spoke with upon arriving, very friendly and outgoing, in that particular Irish way and with her lovely Irish accent. The service was fast and friendly and the food was very good, above average experience for sure. We went for their American Thanksgiving Day buffet and it was really good. Done well and from the heart, and it showed. What a wonderful gift to be able to have a proper TDay dinner, here in Germany, in a great Irish pub. Thank you so much to O'Kellys, for caring enough to give Irish expats a fantastic pub, when they are missing home and for caring about the American Expats who miss home too :) You guys Rock! read more

O'Kellys is a decent Irish pub and the better of two in Freiburg. Guinness is expensive here, as it is most places, and unfortunately it's not an amazing pint (in line with what I've had most places in Germany), but still decent. The food you get here is also nothing to write home about -- the standard pub grub for okay prices. Service can range from fairly friendly to somewhat grumpy and inattentive depending on who's working. They have an open mic on Thursdays but it's pretty weak. The people who are there are not there to listen to music, and so you have the feeling you're just embarrassing yourself for no reason. Some people who go on play for a long time, too. If you want a good open mic, go to the Wheit Rhaebbit on Wednesday nights. Really, probably the only reason O'Kellys is a better Irish pub than Isle of Innisfree is that it's more of an actual Irish pub -- it's got that cozy feel and it's full of expats. It's not a great place for dinner and it's not good for a date. But then again, nobody expects that from your average pub. It's a decent Irish pub, and most of the time, I suppose it's what you would expect when you walk into one! EDIT Oct. 4th, 2010: I came here again recently for dinner and a few pints with a friend of mine. It was earlier in the evening, the place was mostly empty. And I realized that I do like this place. The shepherd's pie was decent and hearty, as it should be. The pints were good, and I realize better than many other places in Germany. It's fun to have an all-Irish or almost all-Irish staff that stays there, and the service was fairly friendly. The TVs were a bit too loud, I suppose. But most importantly, I keep coming back here. I like O'Kellys. So why should it only get 3 stars? read more

Typical Irish my favourite Irish pub in Freiburg! Trad Irish music,Bingo,soccer Guinness :) read more

This place is hillerious!!! and has all of your expat needs covered in Frieburg and the difference with this place and other Irish bars I've been to around Germany... this place is actually full of expats!!! and not just germans wearing kiwi jerseys etc... The best nights are- Monday night The Best Pub Quiz in Town. No, really! (their words not mine!) O'Kellys Pub Quiz begins every MONDAY night at 21 uhr, with Neils (Ze Pilsman). Nightly prizes of a crate of beer are awarded or Shoot high for the Monatspreis! There's so much free booze and prizes being doled out for the quiz winners that O'Kellys is considered a welfare state Thursday: The Open Stage: Not just voices only mothers could love! Open Stage is your chance to be almost as cool as Bono. The only difference is, Bono is in the most successful rock band of all time. O'kellys claim to offer an amazingly close second, on Thursday nights, at O'Kellys You get your chance to grab an axe and plow your way into (almost) Rock History. Go round and astound them with your tunes. Crooners, do not miss this. You provide the tunes. they provide a cold bottle of Freiburger. (YAY) This is a lot of fun if only for the free bottle of beer you get after embarressing yourself infront of your peers and lots people you don't know. And as for sport they broadcast nearly everything. Premiership, Bundesliga, Champions League, NFL, and anything else if you ask, on 2 big screen tv's and one giant projector screen read more

It'a authentic, and I like being there, but theres a bigger reason for me: Veggy versions of a lot of amazing Burgers. Haven't seen that many good vegetarian Burgers in another place in Freiburg. read more

The poutine was fantastic, Guiness was fresh, the hamburger meat of their cheeses burger was juicy+ thier german brat katorffeln is just always sooo good! read more

I used to come here a lot, it is a nice pub in a good location. However, I will no longer be a customer here as I find the people who work there arrogant, unfriendly and impolite. I have witnessed their backstabbing behavior too many times now, they blatantly make fun of customers, they swear and curse when little children are around and some of the male employees are very, very unhygienic. It is a shame because the food looks great but their appearance does not make me want to eat there! read more

Fun place. Fun vibe. Food is pretty good. Prices are reasonable. Lots of beers on tap. I wish they had wifi.

Food is fabulous and staff is warm and friendly! Have been here daily while in Freiburg! Very kind to our American daughter and friends who are studying here! read more
