Kellys - Birr

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Didn't have food, just a few quiet drinks with friends.

Great location to catch up for a chat and a bit of music. Fresh tasty pints and happy, friendly staff. I recommend.

Ordered steaks, what we got was a cheap piece of paper thin meat tough as old boots. None of us could even cut it. NEVER AGAIN. Dishonest, deceptive disgusting.

Our bus tour stopped at Birr Castle and they gave us time to walk the short distance in to town for lunch. Kellys is a fine Irish pub. We had a beer, heard live music, had friendly service by Pamela, ate Irish food, talked to the locals, everything you are looking for. The NFL and Red Sox jerseys on the walls were a surprise. My with had the soup and the chicken puff pastry dish, both pretty good. I had the prawn cocktail. I pictured shrimp cocktail with huge prawns, my mistake. It was tiny salad shrimp in a mayonnaise based sauce over lettuce. It was okay, just not what I envisioned. We then took a little stroll around Birr before heading back to the bus.

Very disappointing waited 45 minutes for food and when the food arrived the steak was dry and the chips were burnt. Advise: don’t go here !!!!
