I met my daughter here for dinner before she left for vacation. Since she lives nearby and my…read moresister had mentioned the food wasn't bad, I looked over the menu and spotted the taco pizza. That was enough to get me in the door. When you first walk in, it looks like a neighborhood pub with a small bar and dining area. What I didn't realize was that there's an entire outdoor space hidden in the back! It's a huge patio with artificial grass, large screen TVs, plenty of seating, and a fun atmosphere for hanging out. They even have a large Kensington Pub display and, my favorite part, the front section of an actual Philadelphia trolley that you can climb into. It was such a cool touch and a great piece of Philly history. Their outdoor bathrooms were so clean and smells so good. This would be a fantastic place to watch a game. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded when we visited, so we were able to enjoy everything. Our server, Desiree, was friendly and attentive. The drinks were a mixed bag. I ordered a light Mike's Hard tea which tasted light!  My daughter started with a lemon drop martini, but it was very watered down, so she sent it back. She ordered a different blue cocktail instead and liked that one much better. I ordered the personal taco pizza. It was the perfect size, and the crust was good, but it didn't really taste like a taco pizza. I've had taco pizza that were packed with bold taco flavor, and this one was a little under seasoned for my taste. The meat was tender, though, and I ended up taking the leftovers home and adding a little extra seasoning. My daughter ordered the taco salad, which was good and served in a large crispy tortilla bowl. Like the pizza, it just didn't quite have that classic taco flavor we were expecting. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. Despite Kensington's reputation, this pub is a hidden gem. Parking can be a little challenging since it's in a residential area, but if you're nearby, it's definitely worth stopping in. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, especially since my daughter lives so close.

I'm man enough to admit that I was a little concerned about how the Kensington Pub crowd would…read morereact to a guy carrying a Jennifer Aniston mannequin. Those concerns were quickly put to rest. The couple behind us even asked to take a picture with Jennifer. This place is great. I think most of the action happens out back in "The Zoo," and it's an awesome outdoor space with something for everyone. Whether you're looking to grab a drink, hang out with friends, or just enjoy the atmosphere, Kensington Pub delivers. The cheesesteak is only $11 and comes with a pickle. You know I love that. Looking at the pictures, the cheesesteak may not have been the star of the Kensington Pub show, but it definitely held its own. The roll had a ton of flavor and was one of the highlights. The cheese was tucked underneath the meat, but it was perfectly melted and there was plenty of it. The onions could have used a little more time on the grill, but they still added good flavor. The meat was solid, and together it made for a very enjoyable cheesesteak. Kensington Pub gave us a fun atmosphere, a warm welcome for Jennifer, and a cheesesteak worth eating. That's a pretty good day in The Cheesesteak Life.

At times we have sat at the bar and at other times we've sat at tables, and always received prompt and attentive service. The atmosphere here is definitely "local pub" with ample indoor and outdoor seating, seasonally. If you visit even a few times you will begin to recognize regulars from the neighborhood. Everything on the menu I've tried has been quite good, although the standouts are the smash burgers and the wings. They run a lot of specials including taco themes but I have yet to try the tacos. It is pub food, but everything is always fresh-tasting. The drink selection is somewhat limited, as they do not have an extensive selection of beers, wines, or liquor. Just the basics. If you are a craft beer fan you will not really find any options here. But, if you like a bottle of Bud Light and a shot of Jack, you'll be right at home. They do create some themed cocktails for the seasons.

Loved the establishment and they made you feel welcomed. We were a big group and were accommodated easily. We were serviced immediately with water. Great staff, friendly and attentive. The food... Wow, just so original and authentic to them. I loved my philly cheese steak. Normally, one would comment on the meat, which was delicious, but the bread was just so nice that it paired really well with the meat. I never thought I would compliment the bread of a Philly cheese steak haha you really can taste the flavors in each bite! AND the food came out really fast! My only thing I can say "negative" is that no cards, no electronic payment .. whaaaaa :o we had to take out money from an ATM onsite for a $200+ bill :/ shook So if you have cash, can't come here on the whim.

They have shaved kielbasa and cheese. It's a unique way to eat kielbasa! The bartenders and servers were nice. Service was efficient. Our drinks came quickly. We waited a short time for the food.

Ok, here's the deal... this place has been there since the 30's and they seemingly haven't raised…read morethe prices since. It's conveniently half a block from the K&A stop on the El, although parking is never an issue. They have the old coin meters and a quarter gets much more time out there... wanna say it's at least a half hour... maybe more. No change? Just park two blocks away on Allegheny. Tribe would be happy... they come brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian... and caucasion. AKA... it's a mix of folks in here. * $.75 Potato Salad. * $3.75 Roast Beef & Cheese on a steak roll. Get this... it is seriously good. * $3.75 Cheesesteak. It's a solid steak. American cheese, finely diced thoroughly sauteed onions... extra greasy goodness... not the best, but better than the tourist factories. * $2.25 Hot sausage. It's a quality kick-ass link that fills out a steak roll. * $1.75 Cheeseburgers. * $1.25 mugs of Lager, etc... you get the picture. They have at least 6 or 7 bottles of 1960 Old Hickory Bourbon (made down by Packer & Delaware Ave back in the day) that they sell for $7 a pour. Yes... $7 A POUR!!! I am not a bourbon guy, but, at $7 for a 60 year old (actually only aged 10 years... + 50 in bottle, ha), I had to try it. Yo!!! It was smooth, refined... I guess I do like some bourbons. Or just get your Wild Irish Rose on, yes, lol... it's there. Bottom line... this dive is seriously one of the best ever. PS... Peep the pic hanging up from 1935 and ask the bartender what happened to the stairwell.
