Great food and friendly staff. Craft cocktails and whiskey selection are amazing. Irish ambiance and historical Kennedy landmark combined into one great pub.
Great place, friendly people and really good food! Perfect Castletown Sandwich (aka Reuben) and a tasty chicken curry. Whiskey, a Black and Red (Guinness/Smithwicks), and some thunderstorms perfect day in our book.
This is my go-to place for a crisp beer and pub food! The service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend the fish & chips and any of the burgers!
This is located right in the heart of downtown which means it is close to anything and everything. We came here after the aquarium and we loved it. They do brunch on the weekends which is great, whiskey and scotch flights as well as featured items such as Irish beef stew. The food was great. I didn't love the IPA medium sauce it was just not for me but everything was super delicious! And the service was amazing.
Great St. Patrick's Day vibe--smooth Guinness, solid pub food, and fun live music. Lively without being too wild.
Hands down the best Irish pub I've ever been to! We stopped in late after checking into a nearby hotel, not expecting much -- just some quick food after a long drive from San Antonio. But we were blown away. The service was incredible, especially considering the bartender was also our server. He somehow managed to take orders, make great drinks, offer solid recommendations, and still check in on us throughout. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious -- way beyond typical bar fare. A total 10/10. I'd absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back!
Great food! Service was amazing! Had pretzels and the Vegan Shephard's Pie. Highly recommend!
Came here with a group of coworkers to celebrate a birthday and we just so happen to be in the mix of celebrating St. Patrick's Day! They had a specialize menu just for the event and a plethora of activities the week leading to. They have a lengthy happy hour and we made sure to order food and drinks for our enjoyment. Our server was attentive and friendly! I ordered the Galway Bay Mussels and they're made with a cream sauce. Definitely a different taste than what I'm used to but the mussels were fresh. I also ordered a few Green Tea Shots and Mar O'Ritas. The drinks were amazing and perfectly mixed! I was able to taste the Cheese Curds and Corned Beef and Cabbage Rolls and they were very tasty. Overall, we had a great time and it was a treat to be there for St. Patrick's Day!
I came here over the summer while in Dallas for a conference for work. I arrived earlier than hotel check-in, and I had no where to go for several hours, so I came here. I sat at the bar and ordered the chicken and waffles and a side of eggs. The bar tender was pleasant and very welcoming. She chatted with me, sympathetic to the fact that I was tired and hungry with no hotel room to check into just yet. It wasn't long before my meal arrived. The eggs were eggs, though I needed to add a little salt and pepper. The chicken and waffles were delicious; however, the waffles were very sweet. They were soft on the inside but had a bit of a sweet crispiness on the outside. I definitely enjoyed them, but I felt so guilty eating them! After a couple of hours of scrolling through my phone, watching a few soccer games on the TVs at the bar, chatting more with the bartender, I ordered a snack, spicy cheese curds. They were hot, fresh, tasty and really packed a serious punch. The ranch, carrots, and celery really came through for the win! Although the cheese curds were good, I wouldn't have been able to finish them without the ranch and veggies to cool down the spice. Although I would never just sit at a bar for hours under normal circumstances, this place had a pleasant atmosphere that helped to pass the time. If I'm ever in Dallas again, this pub is definitely worth another visit! I saw a couple traditional Irish meals that I would love to try!
Wow where do I start and in what order?! Oh I know where. 1. The ambiance was great for this place. Stumbled into here just looking for a quick bite. 2. Reasonable prices & portions 3. I had the steak and duck wings and wow! TEN OUT OF TEN. 4. But the highlight of my trip, was not the food nor the ambience, but it was the PHENOMENAL service I received from my server. Wesley was an absolute TREAT. Very accommodating, personable and just full of life. Which is not what you get from most places these days. I will be coming back. And to anyone reading this, if you want great food and had a rough day, look no further than Patrick Kennedys for their great food, and Mr. Wesley for his joyous energy. Thank you.
Patrick Kennedy's DID NOT disappoint! Are you in search of a place with great vibes, good music, a chill atmosphere, great service, and food to boot? I'm here to tell you Patrick Kennedy's has it all and more! Patrick Kennedy's Irish Pub is located near the corner of Main St. and Griffin in downtown Dallas. It's a great place to get together with friends or just surround yourself with great people and atmosphere. As soon as you walk up to the door, you feel as if you are walking into a traditional Irish pub. We were a group of 6 gathering together on a Friday night looking to reconnect. I was unsure if they would be able to accommodate our group, so I sent an email to see if we could make a reservation. A few days later, Samira reached out and was able to accommodate our needs. Her cheerful voice and willingness to ensure that we received the best service possible was a prequel to what was to come. From Elaine, who got us started with beverages, to Erica who took care of our table for the night, to the young lady(I didn't get your name, but your were wearing black & white glasses) who helped my niece in the restroom. Really took the time to serve us well and make us feel at home. I CANNOT say enough good things about the staff! You just need to go down there and experience them for yourself. Now, for the food! What I love about visiting an establishment with a larger group is that it gives you the opportunity to taste and try a variety of offerings, as well as test the kitchen staff prowess! Baby, my hats off to the Kitchen staff. On a busy Friday night, in downtown Dallas, we did not wait more than 10 minutes for any of our food! Everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned well! We started out with a Scottish Egg, Spicy Cheese Curds, and Corned Beef and Cabbage Eggrolls. Absolutely delicious! The Scottish egg was perfectly cooked with the traditional runny yolk and golden brown, crunchy exterior. The cheese curds were absolutely addictive! The eggrolls were served with 1000 island dressings and gave an incredible mouth feel of salty, sweet, tangy, earthy, and tart! Entrees were Fish and Chips( what seemed like a whole cod loin, that was fresh, with a bright clean flavor, and earth shattering crust, served with Coleslaw and the tangiest tarter sauce I have ever had! Bliss. Monte Cristo( standard turkey and ham, but elevated to new heights by adding Wexford cheddar and Swiss Cheese on sourdough bread, then beer-battered and fried to perfection). The Cluckin Chicken (buttermilk-brined chicken breast, with an IPA sauce, coleslaw, cheddar cheese on sourdough(talk about texture and flavor on steroids)! The Turkey Avocado (fresh sliced turkey, creamy avocado, smoky bacon, on sourdough, and a jalapeno aioli for kick)! Drunken Mussels (Black mussels, steamed in a creamy beer broth, that was as elegant as it was light and succulent. The garlic crostinis were the perfect vessel to shovel that rich broth into your belly). Garlic Mac N Cheese ( three Irish cheese, plus a Guinness stout cheese sauce that kept the dish creamy and lush) was everything a Mac N Cheese should be! For dessert! Bread Pudding! I grew up on bread pudding, and this took me home! Thick, custard laden cubes of sourdough, plump raisins, with a Jameson cream sauce. It absolutely warmed my soul! I am so glad we decided to step into everything that is Patrick Kennedy's Irish Pub. Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great People. Check It Out!!
Delicious vegan Shepard's pie. Great portions. I also got hot tea. This business validates parking also. Customer service was great.
Went here right after flying into forth worth Texas. This is in the heart of downtown and they did not disappoint. Whiskey Wednesday is a hit! Had the Up burger and they loaded it with avocado which I love. Also the location is right off the strip. Wait staff was up to par too.

Came here because the bar was near our hotel and have since been back every day. Drinks are delicious and the bartenders are so nice we have had a blast just hanging out in there! We had the whiskey lava cake and the fish and chips and lava cake was amazing! read more
Found this place on my first business trip to Dallas back in December and have made it a regular stop. First thought is you can never go wrong finding an Irish Pub and this place is no exception. Simple and clean setting with ample TV viewing for sports. For food I've sampled across the menu and everything has been well prepared and delicious. From the Irish Stew through the Grilled Cheese to Steak Frites and Pit Pie, everything has been great. Savings the best for last; the staff. Top to notch, friendly and knowledgeable on the menu and whiskey. Whiskey Wednesday was a great experience as I let the bar staff guide me with recommended scotches to try at 1/2 off. Highly recommend. read more

We had a blast!! Came in at about 4 just to chill and have a beer. Great Irish atmosphere and decent happy hour, extensive liquor menu. During our visit they had a promo for Tullamore whiskey so girls came by with free shots. The honey one was really good!! THEN.....the coolest....promo for a free Guiness but we sent a picture to them and they put it in the top!!!! My dog is in the foam!!! So damn cool. Server was cool, music was great. Enjoyed our time. Why not 5 stars??? Wish my beer was a notch colder and it would've been perfect! read more

Extremely personable! Knew EXACTLY what I wanted and what I need before I even knew I neeeded it Nate was awesomely engaging and anticipating what I needed as a guest I never asked and Chloe was super fun! And engaging and someone like me coming out and raising girls at home I love to engage with great people and in a fun atmosphere. I can't say enough I'm struggling to find more words Chloe and Nate made our freaking night from the bottom of my heart I'm a single mom so when I can travel and have fun it makes my night having good people that take care of us even while it's CRAZY busy during a convention "holla" read more
Had lunch at this pub while staying at the Westin. Quite convenient since it's adjacent to the hotel. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is typical of an Irish pub with dark wooden booths and a well stocked bar. The cheese curds were good and crispy, a bit spicy. French Onion soup was interesting, as it was served in a real onion. The Castletown sandwich was essentially a Rueben with tender corned beef, kraut, cheese and sauce on marbled rye, served with house kettle chips. The pub curry was a bit heavy on tomato sauce, but decent. Good food and friendly service without leaving the hotel property. read more

Patrick Kennedy's is an Irish pub attached to the Westin Dallas Downtown, decorated by aged whiskey barrels outside and all the appropriate Irish pub decorations inside, including subtly placed candies located across the pond. I spent three afternoons and one evening there while staying at the Westin for an event at the conference center (a ten minute walk). The bartenders are talkative and high energy. The pub itself has an impressive collection of whiskey, bourbon and scotch which are best sampled on Whiskey Wednesday when everything (or at least most) is 50% off. The servers are really the shining stars at Patrick Kennedy. Ashley, in particular was very attentive, always asking if I wanted another 'beverage' before my pint glass was empty and knew my name and what I drank as I entered the doors on visit #2. If you're in Dallas be sure to drop in for a pint...and try the curry, fish & chips or the Shepard pie. All phenomenal! read more

Gonna still give this one the top marks it truly deserves despite the ultra-annoying drilling that was taking place throughout the entire recent lunch visit. I'd passed by the restaurant as I was exiting the Westin early in my 3-day stay, but I'd pretty much lined up my dining choices in advance, either by online research or word-of-mouth suggestions. Almost immediately after being seated at the bar (my personal choice for the visit) I was greeted by bartender Leon, who was friendly, attentive, and accurate for the entire dining experience. Rather than simply answering a question about suggestion of a beer, he went and poured a sample of two he thought I might like, and then let me make that decision. Great hospitality technique, and one I really appreciated. He asked if I had menu questions, but I'd already determined what I wanted (Monte Cristo) which made him laugh a bit as he deemed it the 'Sandwich of the Day' due to the frequency it was ordered by those currently seated at the bar. I'd not noticed that, but I definitely know why it's popular. It was delicious and a rather huge portion at that. The bar chips were excellent as well. Everything paired together as a great meal with perfect service. I wish I'd known about this location before my final day as I'd have made multiple stops. I guess that give me good reason to revisit Dallas soon. Thanks, again, Patrick Kennedy's and Leon!! read more

We walked in and seated ourselves. It took a few minutes before someone came by and gave us menus. After that, the service was awesome! The food was very authentic and tasty! Definitely will come back! We also met the "Dallas 2024 Irishman of The Year"!! He had a banner and all! read more

After being told everything was closing we stumbled upon Patrick Kennedy's. Chloe immediately greeted us and welcomed us. Then she made me this wonderful drink that wasn't on the menu. Nate, then topped it off with the greatest hospitality and service. The food is amazing ( and I'm a picky eater). Definitely recommend this place for its vibe, great food and of course Chloe and Nate are awesome! read more
Multiple Visits - Each Time, Extremely Disappointing I've been to this pub 3 times. Each time has been more disappointing than the last. Ordered: (Main) Pub Curry - 1/5 - The curry was very very bitter and tasted solely of onions. This is what happens when you do not properly cook the onions down (the raw onion taste remains instead of melding into the dish as it does in a proper curry). The chicken was also overcooked and tough. (Main ) Howarth Beer-Battered Fish & Chips - 2/5 - The fish was cooked well, but it was extremely salty. This was because they laid down a bed of fries, salted the fries, then laid the fish down on top of that. So the fish has salt from the fries below as well as the salt originally intended for the fish. That made it almost inedible. The fries were cooked well though. (Main) Irish Stew - 2/5 - Apart from not looking too appetizing, the taste was extremely bland and lacking. The vegetables were cut too big to cook properly, and the potatoes all had large black spots on them, indicating that they were old. The atmosphere of this restaurant is nice, and the service is good, but the food is not worth going for. I gave it three chances, and every time I left extremely disappointed. I will not go back for a fourth time. read more

Struggled with this one. The review is a reflection of the food not the service or ambiance, decor etc. I just couldn't give it the 5 I might have for the service and decor because the food was poor. To be fair I'm used to real Irish food so their versions just came up short. We all know it's very difficult to get decent Guinness outside Ireland so maybe I shouldn't have tried, but the flavor of Shepards pie is not that hard to replicate and this did not taste like it. The brown bread was awful . They really should get a new recipe ... but the side salad and tomato soup were nice. read more

Great bonless wings, the spicy asian sauce had kick for days. Blackberry cider on tap and Guinness, both were amazing. Tried the scotched egg and was surprised how good of an example it was. Throw in some good service by jake and it was a total win of a stop. read more
