I visit the district between 3-5 times a year, and have since 1997. And every time I do, I always make a point of coming to Kelly’s Irish Times. I love the food, and the atmosphere. The staff makes you feel welcome. If your in law Enforcement then it’s a must to go to during police week or anytime of the year for that matter. I hope that they stay for years to come!!!!
Super friendly staff. I never waited more than 15 seconds to get a drink from the bar. Classic Irish pub!! Outstanding
Cozy Irish pub with a good selection of beer and Irish whiskey. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The fish and chips were excellent (for $4 more, you can get the kid size which was a perfect portion).
Cool place. Typical bar food, nothing special, but good. All the police stuff and patches are awesome.
We had a good time here, waiting for our train. We just got some drinks, no food.
The atmosphere is quiet, there are a lot of tables, seats at the bar, a good choice of beers and draft cider.
We weren't able to pay using the QR code system, a pity, because it's otherwise convenient.
First time in DC. Got off the train and wandered into Kelly's for a pint and to regroup. I was greeted by Marie behind the bar. Big beautiful smile and a personality to boot! She poured me an ice cold pint and we chatted it up without her missing a beat behind the bar. This place is an A++ Irish dive bar. Thank you!!!
Yum! Food, service and prices are great. It's an older bar with plenty of seating indoors and some seating outdoors too. I tried the chicken tenders, burger, fries and tots. If you like tots, this is your place!! I've also had the fish and chips before and it's good too. Everything comes out fresh and hot!!
The place has no pretence. It is an Irish pub with a great bartender, and corned beef sandwich that is definitely worth trying.
As tourists I definitely felt a locals only vibe, but folks were friendly, and the AC was on so we had a good time.
This bar near Union Station makes for a welcoming place for travelers but it's truly a locals bar at heart. The staff are what make this place great but the beer selection is solid and the food is very good too. Also, you can spend hours looking at all the various law enforcement patches.
This was a fun restaurant the food was decent and the portions were generous. The live music made the atmosphere festive. Our waitress provided us with good customer service.
I have attended this pub multiple times since 2006. The food and service is good. Typical Irish fare. The atmosphere during is legendary if you're a police officer and attend during National Police Week, as Kellys' is the go-to location to hangout.
The kitchen was closed and it was extremely busy but a fun place to be!! Lots of great people!!
