kelly's irish times

a nice little neighborhood bar. theservicewas great since i was one of the few people there. most people in the area were most likely at the capitol building at the memorial day concert. door came out fast and very hot. i think the fish was slightly over cooked. you can see how dark it is in the picture but the flavor was still good. fries were seasoned with course salt and pepper. good taste. the the beer was perfect after a long day site seeing.

if you love terribleservicethen this is the place for you. tonight we're in dc for vacation and we were staying at the hyatt. we were looking to order food late at night and found this resturant on urban spoon. the menu looked great and so did the prices. i decided to call to make sure i could order take out. he indicated that they were only offering a limited menu but i could order the wigs i saw on the menu (12 wings for $8.50). he seemed nice enough and said it would take 5-10mins. we walked to this location and it had a dive bar feel, wasn't very hip but no problem. two men were behind the bar and we stood right in front of them as they ignored us in order to finish their conversation before greeting us. rude. i could have interrupted them but i wanted to see how long they would seriously continue w/ new patrons right in front of them. they clearly lacked absolutely any basic customerserviceskills. so once they took the time to finish their convo, i indicated i was the person that called for the wings and 1 of the guys went to the kitchen to grab the order. he came back with the order and i took a quick peek at the wings and everything seemed in order until i was given a receipt for $11.00. i let the bartender know i had placed this order with the expectation of paying the price listed on their website. he didn't apologize for the inconsistencies just said he could fix that but the menu online was 3-4 years old and some things are on the menu and some are absent... ok? not my problem, stop being lazy and update your menu online! so he adjusted the price to $8.80 not $8.50 but i was tired of arguing about it and left w/o leaving a tip. we get back to our hotel and at that point i actually took the time to count the wings, 9 in the container next to some welted lettuce. we call back and ask how many wings should be in an order and was told 12. immediately let him know we just left and only got 9, at that point he gave some ludicrous excuse that complety contradicted what he just said. we asked for our money back or the 3 additional wings we were shorted. i guess they made 3 more wings that went to waste because we aren't bothering to go back!

great time!. i enjoyed my meal andserviceand had a wonderful time with friends during my visit to dc and kelly's irish times, fond memories indeed ... so here's to all of you a safe and happy saint patrick's day! bottoms up!

of the three places i've tried on the block (one being the irish place next door to kelly's) this was the best but didn't blow us away. again, no kids menu, definitely more of a bar atmosphere. good place for adults/couples without kids. food was pretty good,serviceok. but considering that you can pay a lot more for a lot less around here, it's a better value than most. if you're trying to decide between kelly's and dubliner i'd recommend kelly's.

theserviceis extremely poor. i waited 20 minutes in a mostly empty bar and was ignored by two bartenders. several other patrons were ignored as well. go next door to the dubliner, much better.

dirty, but a good place to grab a few beers!. i have been here a handful of times... small little bar, never tried any food but was always here to drink. the bartender was actually waisted the last time i went, i guess it was his first day and everyone was buying him shots, anyways he got rather sloppy and theservicewent downhill. i have seen port-a-potty's that were cleaner inside in comparison to their bathrooms. they have a jukebox and a few arcade machines. some outdoor seating...

true irish pub with that neighborhood feel in the heart of capital hill. barservicewas top notch. we will be dining and imbibing at kelly's irish times during our next visit!

greatserviceand atmosphere. food is well worth the cost.
