    Where everybody knows your name. Great people. Cold beer. Great pizza. Best tavern pizza in Houston.

    Guinness is some of best in Houston. Pizza is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is 10/10 for pub.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bingo night is Thursday night and is great! $20/$50/$900!(varies)!!! Payouts over ten games. Last game is jackpot! There is not a better Irish pub in Houston. Service is fast and friendly.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was in here for the "1st day of no football".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Random guys and bartender talking about Anthony Hopkins.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dude w the Diet Coke knew who the Texans had traded him for.... And we got pizza n IPa's. Classy us. Also. Pizza doesn't take away as well as it's in the bar. Probably 25 yrs since I was here the first time.

    I had a chance to stop in on a beautiful sunny and hot hot day. I ordered a Guinness and it was just what I needed. The Beatles were playing in the background and it was just an overall great vibe in this pub. Played a game of darts and then sat back at the bar and conversed with a couple at the bar enjoying what they say one of the best places to eat some wings. The pizza oven was fired up, but I had already eaten so next time. I highly recommend this pub. Stop in and have a pint, play some darts, listen to some good music, and strike up a conversation with someone at the bar. Either way you will have a good time.

    YUM - Italian sausage and black olives- yummy charred edges!

    We really miss great Chicago food/Midwest style pizza and we were so happy to find Kenneally's. Delicious, thin, cracker crisp crust with delicious sauce and toppings. We love the Italian sausage and black olives but it's all great! We also love the bar itself- it's a great place to eat and service is always friendly. The bar reminds us of any old Chicago bar that's been there forever- and in Houston years- it has! It's a cozy and comfortable space- always worth the trip when we're craving the real thing!

    Ok I'm updating my review because I have been eating here a lot and damn the burger couldn't be tastier. Thick and juicy. The pizza crust, angels sing when I get a piece. Seriously come here and drink, eat and be merry. Or be sad. It's an Irish pup after all.

    Mini Corn Dogs! Came out hot and crispy -- sooo good!

    One of my favorite Irish pubs in Houston. The atmosphere is so cute and comfortable to hangout with friends. They also have some of the best bar food in Houston! We loved the Hangover specialty pizza (jalapeños, bacon, sausage, and pepperoni) and mini corn dogs with a cold beer! The pizza crust must be homemade and the sauce is so yum! The mini corn dogs came out hot and crispy with a side of yellow mustard, they were sooo good!! Can't wait to come back here again!

    What a blast this place was!!! We had so much fun with our friends tonight. We were looking for places to go and hang out, have some drinks, take in some sights... and when it was suggested to go to an Irish Pub on our first night in TX... I was thinking, "Really? That's where we're going?" Man... I'm so glad that's what we did! We had so many laughs, it was a great comfortable atmosphere, where we sat outside and chilled the whole night with appetizers and drinks! Our server... she was awesome! Witty, a bit snarky, and provided enough entertainment with her humor. The bar tender knew his drinks and kept them flowing all night! We even had some entertainment when a group of firemen walked by in a pack, and sung some holiday cheer for the group. Just down right fun all around as you can tell from the pictures... it's all about #onelove and #Fam. Not too mention, we were in town for the Seahawks vs Texans game at NRG Stadium. (Hawks won for anyone keeping count). The food is a bit interesting, but not a diverse Irish cuisine... but I was digging the Irish Nachos... a completely different take. The pizza was great and the wings too. Ending with this... Time is short... surround yourself with true good friends that you call Family... and enjoy each other! As always... Enjoy and Happy Celebrating!!

    Perfectly crispy crust.

    I wish there was a candle that smelled like this place when you walk in. I would burn it 24/7. Air freshener for the car, cologne, laundry detergent? I'll take it all. It just takes me to a good spot when I smell this pizza joint. Technically it's an Irish pub but we go mainly for the Midwest style pizza. We live in The Woodlands so we do not get here as much as we would like but each time we do it has been a hit. After seeing Aladdin at Sarofim Hall in Houston I expected my wife would want to go somewhere else because we were dressed nice and in the big city with endless options for dining. We were tossing ideas at each other for far too long when she said "or we could go to Kenneally's." Before she could change her mind I hit the gas and made a bee line for the cramped little parking lot that sits behind this glorious bar. We had pepperoni and sausage on the whole pie and green olives (her thing) on half. The mother in law had a corned beef sandwich that was decent as well. We devoured that pizza leaving only the magic dust on the tray behind. (See pic). Will. Be. Back.

    Place is huge. Plenty of room to spread out. Service is absurdly slow so be prepared to wait.

    If you want a pub & not a bar head to Pimlico. I met the owners, an Irishman & his American bride…read more The bartenders are pleasant attentive & most of all competent. Do you want a perfect Manhattan? They can make it well. They pour a perfect Guinness and are attentive w/o being annoying. If you are local it would be a great choice & if you are from out of town it is a great local pub for rugby & football.

    I never understood why Pimlico's had a crowd on weekdays or why my friend talked about a bar's…read moresteak so much... until I went. Steak night starts at 7, which means that's when they start taking orders. If you want to beat the rush, you should already be in your seat by 6:30-6:45. It's a two-man show on steak night. The husband is outside grilling everything on what looks like a standard home grill while the wife is taking orders. Orders go out in batches. They're definitely efficient and work as fast as they can, but with that comes a little abruptness- they aren't the friendliest, but they're focused on getting everyone fed. We got there at 7:05 and didn't get our food until 8:25. Was the wait worth it? Absolutely. The steak was tender and juicy. The lamb chop was charred perfectly. And surprisingly enough, the sausage was my favorite. It was JUICY. When you bite into it, the juices literally burst out. Something had a little kick to it... it wasn't the sauce, but I actually liked it. The jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes were also great.
