| - Have been there several times for drinks. Patio is awesome. Bartender outside (have dealt with 2-3 different ladies) are fantastic. Very friendly, courteous and attentive. TV's abundant, heaters are perfect on cooler nights, I believe one of THE best patios in uptown area.
On the 4-5 times I have been there, their bottled beer is never cold. Last night I even asked the bartender to please grab a cold one. She even said she grabbed the ones from the back of the cooler. They still were not cold? Not sure but they may need to change or check the temperature in those coolers. This isn't the first time this has been the case. She was sweet and apologetic, so that helped things, but there is absolutely nothing worse at a bar than not getting a cold beer. Ironically, I sat next to a bartender I recognized from La Paz at Metropolitan. I remember mentioning to him, when at his restaurant, how cold & refreshing their bottled beers are. He explained they make a conscious effort to keep their coolers at a certain temperature. Kennedy's needs to do the same!
My wife and I ordered food (this was the first time in all of our visits) and, the food was terrible. I am sorry to say that because I like this place, but it was terrible. I figured an Irish-themed restaurant would have a good fish sandwich. I was so, so wrong. It was a frozen piece of fish (geez, it even was those terrible triangle frozen fish pieces) on a bun! And the fries , well, some weren't even cooked fully. I was very disappointed that an Irish restaurant would serve a fish sandwich of that poor quality. Very disappointing.
I will probably still go back because of the location, the outdoor patio and the friendliness of the staff (especially the bartenders on the patio). I will hope for a much colder beer and just won't order food. Sorry Kennedy's, I wanted it to be better, but I am just being honest!
