Love this place. The atmosphere is decent but the service is even better. Our waitress Jules was a saint. She was thebomb.com. Great area great food just great read more

Playing off the review below this one, I AM a yuppie from Connecticut, and I LOVE Paddy Kelly's! The bar is laid back, relaxed, and just an all around good time. On Friday nights they have $1.50 Coors Light Drafts, and as far as I'm concerned, anywhere where cheap beer is good with me! It's a place to hang out with friend, grab some beers, and push ya tush to some beats. It is not a place to "be seen", but really, who cares about being seen? I head there with the BF Friday nights, and sure enough, there is always SOMEONE we know. 1 star left off because parking can be a little tricky, but circle a couple times and you'll find a spot. read more

Best steak tips I've ever had... Hands down. In fact I think I might drive up today from boston just for them. Also the bartender Steve has gorgeous eyes... He's super hot and alone worth the trip. read more

I thought I was walking into some random basement boy was I wrong!! The nice lady Marissa took care of my friends and I. The chicken sandwich is to die for. Highly recommend this place for a good drink and sandwich. read more

Great place to grab a drink and food. My server, Juls, was very attentive! Would go back!

Being new to town, I haven't been to this bat many times. However last night I had the most in tune service I could've ever asked for. Marisa weny above and beyond for us answering all of our questions and making thoughtful beer suggestions. Will definitely be back to see this amazing bartender and for the delicious pizza! Thank you Marisa! read more

Simply the best. Background, my bff is a cordon bleu trained chef from Paris. I ordered the trio and a cheese pizza. Phenomenal gastro experience. Eat here. read more

Paddy Kelly's is the best bar in Peabody!! The atmosphere is really fun and the bartenders are really nice especially jules! She is very attentive and always makes sure my drink is always full. the food is amazing!! I highly recommend the Cali wrap! read more

Great service, great food. This is my 3rd time going back for the steak tips and it definitely won't be the last!

Paddy Kelly's is the best bar and restaurant on the North Shore! The new owners have really turned this place around! I've been here many times since the takeover, and have not been disappointed yet. The steak tips, fries, and drinks are the best! The atmosphere is friendly and inviting- makes you want to go back for more..... The D.J. rocks, and it's a great place to meet. Try it- you'll LOVE it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

A friend of mine tried to come in for a drink here tonight, on her 21st birthday. As she walked in she cheered to us (her friends), and was refused service because she was "too drunk". She was sober. But because she was apparently too enthusiastic for the less than hyped Monday crowd, she was turned away. No amount of reasoning was enough for the ridiculously arrogant door man. They lost out on a lot of money from all of us as a group and will continue to, because I doubt any of us will be back. So rude. read more

Its a basement bar for locals who dont like outsiders. They guy at the door checks your id then takes a pic of you with a camera attached to the wall! Wicked sketchy i know, it's because so many fights ot assaults would happen and they can give the police suspects. Bartenders are hot chicks and they have go-go dancers on the bar every now and then. The vibe is just not inviting. read more

Definitely one of my favorite hidden gems on the north shore, one of the few places that you can get a great meal even late night. The bartenders are always pretty friendly. My usual go to is the steak tip wrap, they have a delicious marinade on the tips that is to die for. Great crowd late nite, and I love Family Feud trivia on Tuesdays! read more

Great steak tips but the service left much to be desired. Maybe it's because we didn't look like the locals but the bartender was much more interested in her friends at the end of the bar than in serving us. We left after eating and went to the tin whistle in Salem where the service was much better. read more

Someone I know invited me to go here tonight, for the weekly beer-pong tournament. Im a HUGE fan of beer-pong tournaments and was pretty excited. The bar looked very cool, jukebox played current stuff and a ton of nice HD TVs played all tonight's live games. The bartenders were very attentive and welcoming on arrival, and very friendly. I opened a tab when I arrived and sat with a few friends at a table. I ordered drinks for myself and all other people I was with, and putting it onto my tab every round. Things got alot busier and more packed around 1030. I paid $10 entry for the beer-pong tournament and was graciously defeated during round 2. It was a bit chaotic with so many people walking by squished together and balls flying by, but a great time none-the-less, and the DJ seemed to have done a great job organizing and turning out the event. My quarrel began during my first beer-pong game. My friend and I were called to table #4 bar-side. During thr first game, a food runner was walking by the squished hall of pong players holding a delicious looking plate of barbecue wings. I made a comment about how appetizing it appeared with the very friendly food runner and decided to place an order for myself. I ordered the barbecue wings and two beers with the dark-haired bartender simultaneously as the food runner told both of us (me and the bartender) that he would go ahead and have the kitchen start the order. My beer-pong game ended, and somewhere near the end of the second game, the food runner approached me saying "Hey, your wings are up on the window, but the bartender forgot to put the order in. I can bring them as soon as she sends us a ticket, so just tell her." I approach the bartender and very kindly relayed the message, saying the food is up it just needs a ticket. She replied argumentative saying shes sorry it has been very busy and she cant go chasing people around, claiming she looked for me. I ordered the wings and two beers with her, she gave me the two beers and said shed put the food in 'in one second' and appeared busy. I told her its okay and that I understand, because I am also in the industry, she gave me a really dirty look as if maybe she thought I was being rude. I didnt mean to or feel as though I was. But I dont know why a bartender would argue with me about not placing the order for wings when they were sitting next to her ready LOL?! Okay.. Night goes on, wings were incredible! We lose the second game and sit at the bar and enjoyed the video games on the bar swivel screen. I even ordered more food! I bought more rounds for me and the friends I was with who sat at the bar aswell. I went to order another beer at 1220 and the OTHER bartender (blonde) said she wasn't comfortable serving me. I was baffled. I asked why. She was very short claiming my tab had 12 beers on it, i tried to explain i purchased drinks for the people infront of her (at the bar she handed them to). I had about 5 or 6 beers from 930 to 1220 and ate twice, playing a long sweaty tournament. I was sober as could be and was pretty overall offended and disappointed, as I could've easily returned with a great impression involving more people into their business and recommending the food to friends. I tried explaining but she began to make me feel really disrespected (visibly shit talking me to other employees behind the bar). I told her I felt as if I was better off paying cash instead of having a tab, that the sole reason im being cut off was for having a high tab? She then said "You were also slurring your words when you ordered your food". I lost it!! I pulled my upper lip back with my finger revealing a rotted tooth, and loudly explained "I need a root canal and have had trouble speaking, and am exhausted from my 40 hour work week". And rudely commented "Are you also a detective?". I asked for my tab, paid it without tipping, (CLEARLY?) and the blonde made a comment about 'me being in the business". That was something I directly said to the dark haired bartender, which really goes to show I did witness shit talk. It really put a terrible vibe on my experience naturally, I can assure you I was polite quiet and barely even spoke at the bar. I was ANYTHING but drunk. I understand bartenders have a job to do, but my experience was treated catty and unprofessional, not for safety. 6 beers 3 hours 2 full orders of food to myself and i wasn't even driving. The friends I was with sat there for twenty minutes afterward defending me to the bartenders talking them out of banning me. LAWL! I read on a few comments and reviews already of neglected service or turned away business, and how good of a guy the owner Dave is. Ill be contacting him tomorrow morning. It is 343am of the night I was cut off for the first time in my adult life. Would a drunk be able to articulately explain himself this well, this late? Sorry not sorry. read more

What a GREAT place! The steak tips, burgers, and everything else on the menu is cooked to perfection! The owners and bartenders are friendly and welcoming... This local pub (restaurant) is a fun place to play Family Feud, Beer Pong, Trivia- as well as live music... Watching the Bruins and/or Red Sox on the large t.v.'s while enjoying a drink or a meal is a great way to spend time.... read more

The steak tip wrap and chicken blt are to die for! Jess the bartender always takes care of me she is awesome. Place is a great time!

great food and great music. every night there is something to do. bar pong on Mondays, family feud style trivia on Tuesdays(free to play and half price apps) karaoke on Wednesdays, college nights Thursdays(with a live dj) , doll house djs on Fridays, a live dj on saturday and reggae nights on Sunday(sometimes they even have a live reggae band) and very competitive prices. read more

Paddy Kellys is awesome considering it doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it's usually packed with a younger crowd of people. They have beer pong tournaments on Mondays, trivia on Tuesdays, & other events throughout the week... so if you're like me and don't have every weekend off from work, this is a good place to take advantage of some week time nightlife. I always have a good time. read more

Tasty wings and a fun environment. I was there for Monday night football and the place was rockin.

I've been coming here for years on and off and I've never been disappointed. Went there last night with my boyfriend after over a year and we had such a great time playing darts, drinking, And the dj was so good! Wasn't a single song I didn't love! And the food is always amazing. Can't wait to go back. The bartenders were also great and so helpful. U can actually tell they enjoy their job unlike some other places I've been to read more

Usually go there on Fridays grab my usual food and drink. I don't even need to ask the bar tenders what to eat they just put it on order for me. The atmosphere is pretty good from what it used to be years ago under the old owner. The new management is awesome as well when the bartenders get in the weeds they always have help. Wtg and keep up the excellent job. read more

This is one place that everytime i come in, the staff is always so welcoming! The food is great and the drinks are amazing! Everything on the menu is delicious and im never disappointed. This establishment really makes me want to come back everytime im there. read more

This was our first time here. It had been recommended a few times. We were not disappointed. Our server Amanda was super sweet and attentative. The food was very good and the prices can't be beat. Do not pass up the homemade steak and cheese egg rolls We will definitely put this place in our regular rotation. read more

The pizza was great for the price however I was disappointed there was no kids menu as well as no kids drinks just soda no apple juice.another huge issue I have is I wanted to see an alcoholic menu and there was none wtf is that and you gotta pay for soda refills that the size of a thimble really catch up with the times more and more ppl going out with family's fy a kids menu as well as free refills and a drink menu after a long day in construction I have a hard time focusing I like to see what ppl offer for drinks sad day disappointed read more

I love nearby, and although I know this place has a stigma attached to it. The service is always excellent and decent prices. Recently I ordered food from here and have been back a few times since, I was very pleasantly surprised, I don't eat meat but my boyfriend said the steak tips were up there as being one of the best! read more

Hidden gem for steak tips. The steak tips are the best. I really love the steak tips. Did I mention the steak tips? But seriously you gotta try the steak tips or the steak tip quesadilla or the steak tip and cheese wrap. read more

Great atmosphere and the staff it awesome! They have great entertainment every night of the week. The drinks are great but the food is even better! Best chicken finger quesadillas, Irish nachos and French fries. Anything you order you will be satisfied with! Overall awesome environment and there is usually always a place to park either in front or on a side street! Kudos!!! read more

this is a great local spot. steak tips are the best and service is fast and friendly. they have dj's and entertainment every night definitely worth checking out. read more

I can only speak to the food for this place as I have only ordered take-out and never actually dined in or sat at the bar. I have actually only ever gotten food from here once but it was so good that I had to write a review. I am disappointed that I am moving in a few weeks and did not discover this place sooner because the food is amazing! My husband and I ordered the fried pickles, the broccoli and cheese egg rolls, the pizza burger with waffle fries, and the combo with steak tips, turkey tips and seasoned fries (also comes with a small salad). Lets start with the appetizers. The fried pickles were pickle spears instead of chips which I think make for much better fried pickles and they were delicious. The buffalo ranch sauce for dipping had a great flavor. The broccoli and cheese egg rolls were awesome. I was very surprised at how good they were because they sounded a bit weird but the combination works and its delicious! The pizza burger was HUGE for the price and also delicious. Seriously a great value, I have paid the same amount for burgers half that size. The combo was probably the best part. Both the steak and turkey tips had so much flavor and they were so juicy. I would highly recommend both. Both the waffle fries and seasoned fries were good, flavored well and crispy. Overall I will definitely be back at least once before I have to move. This place has some really great food at some really great prices. Definitely worth a visit. Or at least take-out. read more

I came into the Boston area as part of a bridal party and this was my first stop off the plane. My sister (the bride) and groom chose this place for all of us to get together and start our celebrations. In total we were probably about 20 people, which was probably too much for the 2 bartenders and single cook on staff that night, but they were very kind to us. Understandably, with so many of us, service was a little slow, but everyone always got served. One of the bartenders even said she was new and apologized if she came off rude to any of us. When they found out why we were there, the staff thought it was "sick." As local patrons came in, some even talked to us and played darts with some of our group. Also, the veggie quesadilla here was AWESOME. Others ordered food and everyone loved what they got, but I have never had such a great vegetarian quesadilla! read more

Great staff, great food and great atmosphere! There isn't a night that they don't have some type of fun entertainment. They have amazing drinks but nothing can beat the amazing food! My go to is a chicken quesadilla but everything on the menu is amazing, especially the steak tips! I'm not from the Northshore area but I will gladly drive out there for an always fun night at this bar! Great environment all the time with amazing staff and food! read more

this is a perfect spot for hanging out with friends... there is always something going on: family feud trivia, beer pong, dj's and is always a good time. not to mention, the food here is amazing... the steak tips and turkey tips are a must try and they always have drink specials! read more

Great time, great beer. The bartenders were awesome!! Highly recommended! Megan the bartender turned an initially unsuccessful night into a memorable night! I am not from the area but the next time I am back I will be swinging by again! read more

I moved to Peabody a couple of years ago and drove by this place a bunch of times. I'm glad I stopped in here! Staff is great, food is fantastic and drinks are good! Wings with the PK sauce are to die for, steak tips and burgers are great and the home made steak and cheese eggrolls rule! Good bar pizza too! Take my advice and give PK's a visit read more

Paddy Kellys is a fun place to meet friends for drinks and hear djs. The staff is always friendly and I've never had to wait long, even on a busy night. They stock UV cherry, one of my favorite vodkas which you wont find at every bar. Also I recently ate steaktips and philly cheesesteak rolls, both were delicious. They also have weekly events that are entertaining to watch and participate in. The biggest downside is the tiny womens room which contains one toilet!! And they do become crowded in the evenings... very crowded. read more

Ive been going to pk's for years now and never left a review but i suppose now works. Its a good place for cheap beers and great pub food. The bartenders are pretty on top of things and are attentive. Its busy but not overcrowded. Enjoy read more

PKs is quite a townie bar but has great food at really reasonable prices. We often go for the steak tips and the cheese steak egg rolls. We also love the Irish nachos and the fried pickles! Lots of events and deals. The owners are good people who run a good business. read more

Love it or hate it, Paddy Kellys is now my go to bar. If I couldn't walk here in under 10 minutes, I probably wouldn't like it as much, to be quite honest. But hey, it is what it is... Before about 10, and even earlier (I'm saying like open to 7 here) the crowd is loud, drunk, obnoxious, dirty old men. I have to be honest, it is hard to feel comfortable as a smaller sized female in a place like that. They make very vulgar comments to and about the female bartenders and are just generally loud, opinionated men. Whatever... I'm not typically there at that time, so I guess it doesn't matter. When the djs start playing, especially on the weekend, it can get packed. Lots of drunk girls dancing and guys leering. I go with my boyfriend and friends, and I have to say the best part about this place is going in the back area and straight up people watching... I have seen some pretty funny stuff in this place! Anyways, most of the bartenders are really nice and friendly, though my favorite employee is the bouncer/after 10 id checker at the door. Always a little embarrassing to see him scan your id and see how recent your last visit was! Oh yes, and $1.50 draft Rolling Rocks... don't mind if I do!!!!! read more
