What People Are Saying About Kenneally's Irish Pub

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.

I used to be a regular at Kenneally's. They USED to have great service and a good atmosphere. That has since changed. I've quit going there due to my last experience. I brought a friend who was not a regular and she requested tap water. The waitress informed her she had to pay for bottled water. My friend persisted in requesting a glass of tap water; she thought the waitress was joking about paying for water. The waitress informed her their policy does not allow them to serve tap water; they consider it a waste of the bartender's time....yes, she actually said that. Then when the so-called manager came to our table to address the issue, he told my friend to quit being cheap. Needless to say, we haven’t been back and anytime someone suggests Kenneally’s, I let them know about my experience and that I won’t be going back. There are too many bars in Houston to waste time with a bar that is so money-hungry it forces bottled water on its customers and accuses its customers of being cheap. I’m actually surprised the TABC allows them to do that……..

Have been here before, years ago, and visited the other night when we wanted some pizza and beers. The pizza was so divine, we ordered three in a row, but yes, it was very strange that they don't provide free water. Come on! Maybe I want a glass of water to go with my pizza and Stella Artois. It's not like we're scrubs coming in here to not spend on alcohol. The atmosphere is a bit lacking. Also a regular of Red Lion's, I can say that pub knows how to do ambience - it's always fun & lively in there, with the authentic pub decor and fun tunes in the background. We'd spend far more for pints at Red Lion, but we'd get some atmosphere with it.

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 like to drink water along with my food and beer to stay hydrated and quench my thirst (beer tastes great, but is not a thirst quencher). They do offer bottled water at a very reasonable price, but that misses the point. I do not think it is too much to expect complimentary tap water when spending over $70 on the other fare. This was the first time I have ever been denied complimentary tap water in a bar and I, for one, will frequent those establishments that are not so stingy with their tap water.

What to Drink:
Bartenders at Kenneally's know how to pour a Guinness properly, allowing the beer to settle before topping it off with a creamy white head nearly spilling from the pint glass.
