Check out downstairs . . . Great little cigar bar. Decent selection of sticks. Not for those who don't like cigar smoke. Pretty smokey down here.

This place has the largest whiskey selection where you can smoke cigars indoors! They have a awesome cigar club that meets on Tuesday nights at 6pm! Look them up on Facebook @ Kells cigar club!

This place has an abundance of character and a great overall ambiance. I have been in for beer and appetizers and always enjoy it.

The service, the food, the atmosphere and the live music.. All amazing. We even went in on a Saturday night and still had impeccable service, I wish I had gotten her name to recommend her.

Summertime means the back patios open. Big screens out for sports viewing and you can still enjoy the Irish tunes from inside.

Live music 7 days / week starting around 9pm. Great potato chip nachos! Solid beer selection. Almost always a lot of fun!

Irish meatballs and mash with a Kell's stout.....so good I could lick the bowl!! Oops, I already did.
Stephanie NewtonApril 28, 2013
Get the salmon fish & chips. Ridiculously delicious! & Make sure to request your fries crispy--unless you like soft fries.

You must order the gorgonzola spread with fruit and the wings!!!!!! Burgers were great too!

Not big fan of lager but you should try Kells lager!

Be sure to try to throw a dollar at the ceiling. Look up as you enter; you'll see what I mean.

Kells new Red Ale is definitely worth a try, it's like a slightly creamy Smithwicks.
Danielle HeberJune 28, 2015
Great live music and a good atmosphere.

The shepard's pie is excellent!
Phil DennisSeptember 1, 2014
Tried the Talisker 10 year on the rocks. Not bad, but too much iodine on the tongue for my taste.
Kimberley GrayJune 6, 2010
I don't go for the beer or even the food... the live music is the best! On weekdays they generally have something acoustic.
Sonny GJune 9, 2013
Try the red breast! (It's a drink) lol
Eric BanisterOctober 29, 2012
Finally a place in the states that has real Guinness, not the crap you see in sports bars.

Cigars with Zaya rum, never a bad combo
Z ManMarch 17, 2014
Poor service and unexperienced staff. Group of 4 might have to eat their meals off of their lap if they get seated at a 2 top. Upstairs only has 3 beer choices. Watch out getting handed old menu.

Irish nachos are the best!
