Editorial Review for Kells Irish Restaurant & Bar – by Benjamin McKay

In Short
Throughout the week, this North Beach tavern is a haven for Financial District worker bees enjoying a quiet, after-work pint, but on weekend nights, there's usually a line at the door. Beyond the velvet rope is a crush of young singles bumping to loud, danceable pop hits. Patrons more than five years out of college tend to migrate to the upstairs bar where dancing gives way to conversation and classic rock sing-a-longs.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love this place!!! It's a great hangout for girls, guys, singles etc. Everyone is there, it's a party upstairs and down. This is the place to dance on the tables and get funky!

Pros: Ladies get in for free!!!

Not a good choice for dinner, especially if you want to be able to hear the people you're eating with. Too loud, service was rushed (entrees were served before starters were half-way finished) and food was only so-so at best.

This split-level, split-personality bar plays it cool during the week and packs 'em in on the weekends.  See the full editorial review.
