Kennedys is trying to keep the 7th street neighborhood bar scene alive. It's doing quite well for just the bar aspect. Now since P. Stone is closed this is the best patio in the area to enjoy a drink on a nice evening with friends. There are bars located both inside and out for convenience. There is table seating both inside and out (probably more outside). At night the patio looks wonderful with tons of people and the lights strewn about.
The food is typical bar food.. It has some Irish themed entrees but I wouldn't say that they have traditional Irish food. Monday and Tuesdays are the best days to head here as their specials are all you can eat crab legs and 1$ tacos. Any other day (specifically Wednesday) I would go for their burgers with sweet potato fries.
I'm glad Kennedys is still rockin after many years and hope they can improve the neighborhood scene there in Elizabeth.
PARKING - They have a small lot but the lot that is kitty corner to them allows Kennedys parking at certain times. Read the signs, obey the rules and you won't get towed! Simple!
