    For those of you who have never had pizza at Kenneally's - shame shame. I know it doesn't exactly make sense for an Irish pub, but it is fantastic. It doesn't matter which one(s) you get, they are all delicious. Try a beer while you are there too. 🙂

    The staff is friendly and attentive. This neighborhood bar is very crowded on St. Patrick's Day, usually a cover. When it isn't St. Patrick's Day, it is a low key bar. All of the patrons are friendly. They have TV's for games and darts for fun. They have seating outdoors, and dogs are welcome outside only. The food is delicious and THE PIZZA IS A MUST ORDER! The restrooms are clean. Erik is a loss, but Jana and Natalie make up for it! 🍻

    Came in with my lady after the pizza place we wanted to visit wasn't going to open for a few more hours and I remembered Kenneally's had pizza plus I always liked the atmosphere here. We ordered a pizza, extra crispy, with Chicken and Hamburger on one side for my lady, and I ordered tomato, mushrooms and bacon. When the pizza came out, it had pepperoni instead of chicken on my ladies side, so the server said they would make a new one for us, while we ate most of the original one, lol. I enjoyed the pizza and appreciated the bartender telling me that his cook was late, and he was doing both roles. Well done sir and a well poured Kilkenny.

    Great pizza and fun trivia nights on Tuesdays. PretEl is a good starter.

    I've been coming to Kenneally's for over a decade. Pizza is on point. Drinks are good. Atmosphere is fantastic. Service is overall good depending who's helping you.

    We enjoy sitting in the bar. Lots of regulars and great pizza. They also have a good beer selection with Guinness on tap.

    Meet some old coworkers there recently. I really like the place mostly for the Chicago vibe and always friendly service even though they were understaffed one bartender and she was waiting tables too on a Tuesday. Whatever the pizza was good and

  • 5/5 Dylan R. 10 months ago on Google
    Kenneally's is a great place to hang out, meet friends and have drinks. The pizza is pretty good. Everything is reasonably priced and you get a great value. There is a true Irish Bar Vibe, not like some other places in the city.

  • 4/5 Nicholas k. 1 year ago on Google
    Thin crust pizza was good, confused why it was cut like a checker board though. Corned beef on pizza which the chunks were a big bigger. Nice quiet place to chill. Pretzels were good also. Wish the cheese was a bit better.

  • 5/5 Yvette R. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favorite hangout after work. Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Mike M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pizza, service, drinks and company! Sports on TV and good, clean place.

  • 5/5 Omar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza is round, thin crust, sauce, dough, cheese, and toppings are all good. Won’t be disappointed. Staff are friendly.

  • 4/5 Cameron M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great place to get a pint of Guinness. I only wish the pour was a little better. The service in general could be better. I got ignored trying to give a tip. Otherwise the cheeseburger is amazing. I hope to be back again to get either the burger or try the pizza. I hear it's great too. I hope to be back soon to have a Guinness there and enjoy my food.

  • 5/5 Anita M. 1 year ago on Google
    love the place, pizza is delish and service isn't always the best, but it's never been terrible.

  • 5/5 Steven J. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh made potato chips on the thick side and the Best Rueben sandwich in Houston! And people that know how to make a Martini however you like it.

  • 5/5 Heli K. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the best time! Great food, great selection of drinks and super cold beer! Very good service and the place is really clean. We will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great neighborhood Irish pub with delicious sandwiches and pizza, as well as the freshest, coldest Harp lager.

  • 5/5 Jim M. 3 years ago on Google
    A long-standing laid back neighborhood pub. The building has old bones but it’s very clean. The staff is unfailingly friendly and they have a good selection of Irish whiskey. The pizza is surprisingly good. Outdoor and indoor seating, always a good time.
