Kenneally's Irish Pub

About this business

One of Houston's most popular Irish pubs, this bar is famous for its fantastic dinner pizza. In fact, it is the only item on the menu, but after a single bite, you certainly will not care that nothing else is offered. Besides die-hard pizza fans, Irish ale lovers and European beer drinkers frequent the establishment. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming. Stop in and see for yourself!

Ruined it with one little thing! – My wife and I joined friends yesterday for an evening out. The food was acceptable (the potato chips are exceptional) and the bar service quite good. However, when I pay for food, beer, and whiskey I expect complimentary tap water. The pub has a policy of not providing tap water for otherwise paying customers which really ruined an otherwise enjoyable experience. Now I realize that when one visits a pub it is usually to have a few drinks and enjoy pub food - exactly what we wanted, but I li... read more

Great Pizza, Great Fun....if you're in the mood – No doubt, this is the best thin crust pizza in the loop....and they serve it late! The owners rock. The bar rocks...it's a great place if you want to roll up your sleeves, play some darts, eat good bar food and drink cold beer. AND they have an awesome juke box. I'd rather go here than Pearl any day.

Depressing, Smokey, Overrated – This place is overrated. It's true, the pizza is very good. But I've had equally good pizza elsewhere. It's always smokey, feels dirty, has rude bartenders and generally has a trashy / depressing vibe. Why would anyone opt for this place when there is Red Lion (an infinitely better pub) right across the street? Actually, all the bourgeois / depressing people, please don't cross the street. Stay where you are.

This pub and pizza parlor bordering River Oaks is popular with students and those seeking an almost-authentic Irish experience. – In Short Though a broad selection of beer seems to be the main draw, the pizza at Kenneally's may make you thirst for a Peroni rather than a Guinness. The sauce is fresh and the crust is thin and crispy. Homemade potato chips and other light fare are also available. Seating is at the long rectangular bar, at a group of tables in a back near the dart board or out on the open-air deck.

Best Pizza, beer, and service – I've been in this pub many times, mostly alone, but I've never felt alone once inside. Besides the most friendly staff I've ever seen anywhere, other customers are "openly friendly." If you want to be friendly and talkative, others will join you. If you want to be alone, they will leave you alone. The pup is very secure with no hassles. I've found a nice variety of customers such as many professionals (lawyers, nurses, secretarys, sports figures, government employees), of age students, and eve... read more

Its an Irish Pub – Very few know how to pour a pint of Guiness. I was exremely happy with the place. I went on St. Patty's, yes a bit pricey however Guiness and whiskey is what I drink and $5 is pretty close to normal price (for good whiskey that is). I also loved the fact they had a spot to drink something out of this ice sculpture and get a shot glass with their name on it. That helped me remember what pub I went to. The guys and I run out there every chance we get. Its a pub not a diner, expect the occasional smoke. The o... read more

Love it! – This is one of my favorite bars in Houston. The pizza alone makes it worth coming to, but I like the laid back atmosphere and the lack of hair gel and implants among the clientele.

over done – I use to be a regular, grew up here and liked the pub. Now it seems to be loosing its polish, dirty bathrooms, slow service and smokey. Need to update and show some enthusiasm...waitstaff seem like zombies these days. Pizza is still good. Much nicer pubs in the area that seem to make an effort.
