A friend and I went to kelly obryans for my birthday on 29th. The food was really good. The pub / restaurant was not busy but the service was bad. The waitress did not check on us after we got our food. She did not ask if we needed more water or if we wanted something different to drink. Took awhile to take away our plates. Even at busy places I've had the waitress check on how everything was going but not here. Very unimpressed

The Patchos are a divine Pinnacle of culinary fusion. Who doesn't want Irish-Mexican waffle fry nachos? Extra bacon and cheese? The gods themselves couldn't say no to this question. Wash it down with a couple of smooth pints of Guinness (properly poured with clover) for complete gastronomical nirvana. Our friendly server took the time and consideration to ask if we wanted a table that could see the football game. I can't wait to go back!

Normally love pachos. Decided to try the extreme pachos and they delivered a side not a full meal. $24 for this. Normally you can’t finish and have to take some home. After inquiring I was told all Pacho plates are 10 oz of lattice cut fries. Would you pay $24 + tax + tip for this?

Visiting for a day, decided to find something to eat. Ordered the bacon cheddar burger, my partner ordered the Cajun chicken burger. The burgers were big, messy, full of flavor, and tasty. Fries were well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Service was really good and very clean restaurant. We will come again when we come back up.

★★★

Dined in. Service and atmosphere were good. Prices were not congruent with the amount of food we received. $19 for a side-sized salad, $19 for 4 pieces of potato skins (less than one potato), and $30 for a weak serving of chicken and shrimp. The food tasted good but we left hungry after spending more than $70.

Kelly and Carlos O'Brien's Irish Pubs offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff and excellent food. It is a perfect spot for a cozy meal and drinks with friends. Highly recommended! We try to head there at least once a week 🫶

I really enjoyed our visit. Clean, friendly... Not the cheapest place, but far from expensive. I adored the tuna tacos, but found the prime rib burger a little overwhelming - not in a bad way, just a lot going on. I liked it... And I especially liked hearing about their charitable activities. Great donation commitments!

September 22, 2024

Poor service. Serving sizes were shockingly small and incredibly underwhelming. My child could make a better plate of pachos . My double caesar was definitely not a double. I doubt it was even a single. I ve never taken the time to write a bad review before. It was pretty terrible.

My partner and I went to dinner at Kelly s and our experience was mediocre at best. We start out getting sat at our table. It was pretty quiet inside, our server got to our table pretty fast which was nice but, we weren t met with an introduction or a greeting, she just grabbed our drink & food order then left. We saw her only once more at the end of eating. No checkups through table service or more drinks. Finally we r met with the bill and noticed she had charged us for 2 extreme pachos and 2 life saver drinks, when we ordered the 1 plate to share knowing how expensive it was. when we brought it to her attention she didn t take accountability for the mistake and didn t make the effort to correct it. Sadly it turned a 50$ dinner to a 80$ dinner. We were very dissapointed

June 22, 2024

Was sat down, not asked for drinks and left sitting waiting for 15-20 minutes without any acknowledgement. Ended up leaving. Lol nice service guys

May 22, 2024

I took a friend here for her birthday lunch the end of March. We have enjoyed this place many times in the past. But the service was not as good this visit. We got seated in a rather awkward location , had to wait for the server many times , and it was not even busy in there. 3 weeks later I get my visa statement only to see that I was charged twice , same amount at the exact date and time. Visa told me I had to call them and explain what happened. I talked to the owner/manager Shawn and he was not willing to take my info or even look into this error. He said ya , you were probably charged twice , I believe you but visa will have to call me first. It doesnt work like that. Either you show willingness to look into the error your restaurant made or it has to now be disbuted through visa. As a business owner myself , I have in the past had to look for transaction slips to check things and that is what we do to keep our customers happy. Your unwillingness to even make 1 step forward has cost you a customer as well as a bad review. You could have done better. Try harder.

Definately not like the Nanaimo location. Service was minimal if any. Missed appie deals as no one came after seating us for 10 min. Server never came to ask how food was till we were almost done so had to eat my untoasted burger even though she said she would add to order to toast it. Her tip reflected her service as we sat with dirty plates for near 15 minutes. Wont be back.

We came to sit on the patio and enjoy the sun, it was awfully quiet as we were only one of two couples out there. We asked if they could turn the radio on and were told it wasn t working but they were trying to get it fixed. Minutes later they brought out a big Bluetooth speaker and spent a few minutes setting it up just for us. Excellent service! And the food is always great! Oh, and the music was

We went for lunch today, my husband s meal was fine, he ordered the Philly style beef dip and the Caesar salad. It came to the table as described on the menu. My meal however was not delivered to me as described on the menu. I ordered a crispy buffalo chicken sandwich, the description on the menu said. Hand breaded crispy chicken breast tossed in Buffalo sauce I did not get a hand breaded crispy chicken breast, I got a soggy Buffalo sauce drenched chicken cutlet. It was gross. Had I not been so hungry and my puppy waiting in the car I would have sent it back. Definitely not worth the price, Also the service was awful, I will not return.

Fun bar/reasturant vibe. Big big big drink menu. Large food menu , happy hour is a good deal. Bit on the more expensive side but the foods great. Try the prime rib yorkies appy. Lamp burger is also deadly. Kids menu is ok bit lacking. Nice and clean inside and out.

I have been three times. I had the Yorkie appetizer the first time and it was fantastic. So, on my birthday, that s where I chose to go. I had the same thing again, and it was good, and my husband enjoyed it as well. So tonight, he wanted to go again. All I can say about tonight is that the service was excellent. However, if I had had THAT appy the first night I was there, I would never have ordered it again. Tonight the yorkshire appie was crisp! Way too crisp. Hard to cut crisp. Almost burnt tasting crisp. The quality control tonight slipped.

Steak, Prime-rib, Burgers, and quite a few Vegan choices; all-in-all a modern choice to eat Pub-Grub with the flare of a Highland Kilt. The four of us ordered a Prime-rib, Fish and Chips, Creole Blackened Steak, and a Prosciutto wrapped Chicken Breast dinner, with local tapped beers to quench our thirst. All meals had no complaints for quality, portion size or cooking flaws. We were so hungry from our day that we all forgot to memorialize the meal with photos and smiles. If there was a complaint, it might be reflected with today s economy, Not affordable enough to return sooner than later. The fanchise has a bithday special that is notable and can get up to $30 off your meal, so that might be the time we return, but otherwise it might fade into a memory of good times, good food and a good game of billards!

Was told they offered a free meal on your birthday, and that checks out. Pretty generous promotion. Kudos to them for doing that. Way better than most other places that force you to convince friends/ family to go in order to meet a quota. Got a portabella burger with salad that were both great in taste and presentation. Also, oddly, really fast. Server was pleasant and helpful. Overall atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and had that iconic look. Vegetarian options: Fair options for vegetarians given its a bar setting. Portabella burger, fajitas, bowls, salads, etc. Parking: Might be challenging finding a spot when its busy, but seemed like a reasonable wrap-around style layout.

Stopped in on way up island, figured it would be a good choice. We were very hungry. We ordered 4 appetizers. Literally the most rubbery calamari ever been served. The stuffed mushrooms werent much better. Both my wife and I agreed as we turned left on cliff northbound that when we passed the a&w that a burger there would have been better. We were charged $66 for food that I wouldnt serve a guest.i asked for more drinks several times, nothing. If you are in the same situation, looking for good food on route, consider somewhere else.

Not this time. We were told by the server after the meal there is now an extra fee for the bread. Damned ridiculous! Definitely wont be back. I had a Ceasar salad. Quality but no quantity. A total of three croutons. Smarten up!!!

Menu states fresh chicken. The fajita came and the chicken was reheated. Waitress explained that fresh chicken means their chicken is never frozen. It would be impossible to put raw chicken in the fajita and then expect it to becooked enough with the process of making a fajita. Hmmmm, not sure what she was trying to explain but fresh chicken should be fresh cooked. Not cooked earlier and then reheated. Not why I go out to eat. Theyvreplaced it with a fresh cooked burger which was good.

The food as always is good this is my first time going to this location. The server was great although someone did manage to misdeliver one meal to another table instead as well as missing extra things ordered as well as not removing certain things as per ordered. Still would come back though.

Not very clean - sticky menus and table. I ordered a tuna salad; the tuna was cut too thick and the salad was drowned in sauce. Very dark and grungy in there....

After hearing Alessandro s experience at this establishment I can t help but be outraged at the treatment and handling of his assault. If someone is hate crimes in front of your restaurant you shouldn t block them!! Will never be going here.

Very disappointed to hear about a discriminatory act of violence that has taken place at this establishment. Staff took no action to aid the young man & instead laughed & videotaped on cell phones. Wasn t a favourite spot to go with my family anyhow, but we definitely won t be giving it a second chance now.

Disappointed to hear about the ignorant staff. Will not be returning.

This pub has clearly shown it s not a safe space for queer people to present or be themselves. When an assault happens at your bar, you deal with it by making sure the victim is supported (giving them footage of the incident), you don t turn them away.

Not good. Me and my partner ordered the Guinness burger with Cesar salad as the side, pachos for two, the chicken dumplings, and the yorkies with prime rib. All of the food was cold, the bun for the burger was stale and rock hard in some places, they charged us but forgot to give us the Cesar salad, the cheese on the pachos was cold and not melted still in its shredded form. The prime rib was nothing to write home about and the dip that was provided with it wasn t good. We spent 80$ on food that was absolute garbage. It s extremely overpriced for what it is and what you get. I can t believe we paid 30$ for a burger that was cold and stale with no side. NEVER ordering from here again.

Take it from a bystander who was there. I am not affiliated with this bar other than being present as a customer. In regards to the friends and fans who are now slandering this bar The treatment of a patron who was not unjustified by staff. No shoes, no shirt, no service, it doesnt have anything to do with the bar staff other than kicking out a half naked person who refused to clothe themselves as per policy, then said person getting aggressive. ESPECIALLY when when a patron is trying to get physical with other patrons and staff and dangerous to public safety, so they get kicked out and try to cause a fight and get punched by some RANDOM drunk person who they themselves, were physically assaulting then they go to media and try to claim victim to get social media followings and money, and slander a good name of a bar to get their way. Kelly obryans staff treated everyone within reason, and assisted police in trying to find the people who escalated the situation. Learn all sides of a story before you post hate speech and dont hop on band wagons, it doesnt have anything to do with the bar staff other than kicking out a half naked person who refused to cloth themselves as per policy, then said person getting aggressive. To top it off. Good food. Good service. Ive only ever seen people treated equally here, would recommend going. This is a sincere UNBIASED post.

My 2 friends and I visited the restaurant and I was quite disappointed in my lunch. I ordered the soup and sandwich special at a reasonable price however when I asked what choice of bread I was told only white unless I wanted to pay an additional $2.25 to have it on focaccia bread. The broccoli bacon soup was very bland and there was a piece of grissel in it. Our server never asked how our food was. She also did not pick up any of the dirty plates when she asked if we wanted our bill. We had to ask for salt, pepper and napkins. My friends chicken lips and fries was just ok. I certainly won t be returning or recommending until things change. What kind of restaurant doesn t have whole wheat bread for a sandwich???

I was very disappointed with my meal, especially considering the price. I didnt say anything as we were with friends celebrating their anniversary and I didnt want to spoil their celebration. The Margherita flatbread was very good...crisp and good melty cheese. The calamari was okay. My husbands prime rib Yorkies were good according to him but I found the yorkshire puddings chewy....as if they had been made some time ago and reheated (?microwave). My quesadillas were forgettable. Barely any filling. the lattice fries were barely warm and limp and chewy, certainly not hot and crisp. All in all, a disappointing experience that Im not sure I want to repeat. It was not a busy evening.

Pub style food. They have a happy hour starting at 2pm. They have a very large beverage selection of beers, craft cocktails and tons of shooters. Crowd is not too loud or rowdy. Maybe before but with covid its been a bit of a quieter place. They have a pub side and dining side however they are basically the same thing just less tvs. And kids are allowed on the dinning side.
