    We were ushered in our table like sardines in a tin. Sitting right next, behind, in front of, other diners. Very crowded and noisy. Finally got a begrudgingly waitress to serve us. Wine and beer helped. My veggie burger was a solid 10! I gobbled it down but could not eat the chips, what in the bloody hell is sprinkled on them? Hubbies pork Sammy was filling.

    Our family had the best time enjoying dinner, drinks, and live music at Kennedy’s. The food and service along with the incredibly talented musicians created one of our favorite experiences in Dublin. The food was excellent; beef pies, fish & chips, wings, pints, and Irish coffee to beautifully end the meal. Our family highly recommends Kennedy’s!

    The soup was awful—I couldn’t eat it. The waitstaff were quick with orders and the food arrived fast, but we weren’t checked on or asked if everything was okay at payment. Won’t be going back.
