Totally adoring this place. Wonderful irish pub. Couldn't believe our luck to find somewhere so nice that had irish coffees as good as The Buena Vista. The bartenders and owner are so nice and welcoming. Our first visit even though they were nearing their slow closing time they lit a candle and let us stay and enjoy their lovely front table by the window. Will be returning and recommending.

Super positive vibes here. I had so much fun and met so many awesome locals that I could tell were regulars that by the end of the night it felt like we were all from the same tribe! They have two floors, on both levels they play music and have 5 star bartenders. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the mood to be social, dance and have great drinks.

This was a great pub, tucked away just outside of Chinatown. What was refreshing was the prices. It was very reasonable and the food was fresh and delightful. On top of that, the staff who sat us (my wife and I, plus our 2 teenage kids) was warm, helpful and attentive. I would go back next time I'm in the area.

I had the pleasure of spending our St. Patrick’s Day here. It’s a great spot for the true Irish feel. The food was delicious as well.

A quaint little Irish pub near the financial district of San Francisco. Dark, dingy, friendly. Everything an Irish pub should be.

I miss this bar. Best bar in SF why did it get bought out nooooo😭😭😭 PLZ REOPEN KELLS we have enough restaurants here

Understated and cozy bar that makes you feel right at home. Saji, the bartender, is incredibly attentive, generous, and throws some great banter. Well worth a visit and truly a highlight on my most recent visit to San Francisco.

Above and beyond! I always know that an Irish pub is a comfort zone for me! Despite the kitchen being closed, my service animal and I were treated like family and I was referred to another spot across the street where we found some tasty Italian food that was also gluten free. Stellar experience all around!

We stopped in to watch a game and immediately loved the place. It's like stepping into a piece of Ireland. Tasteful, understated and cozy. We received a warm welcome and will definitely be visiting again.

Classy Irish pub. We were looking for some dinner and beers. Many places have that but Kells offered a low key atmosphere. Just what we were looking for on this particular Saturday night.

Came here around 12 am to get some drinks and dance with friends. I actually really enjoyed the decor and vibe of this place - pretty nice and authentic looking inside. We actually got drink service pretty quickly once we got in (which surprised me because it was pretty busy) and the drinks weren’t exorbitantly expensive. This place was also cool cause there’s an upstairs and downstairs with a bar and different music on each floor so you can change up the vibe a little bit of one door or another isn’t doing it for you. Fun spot!

Went on Saturday for a nightcap after my bday celebration! With family and friends. It was so much fun!!! The bartenders/personnel were awesome! The vibe was fun and welcoming, the music was good! Always a good time at Kells. I have to go back for some oysters!! Thank you everyone! Cheers!!

I liked it, very relaxed vibe. Great place to be able to talk to friends and not yell over the noise. 4 stars not 5 for the food. Good but not great. Staff was fantastic. I'd go for drinks not food minus snacks.

I like this place. Wouldn't say I love it by any means but it's a good fun pub to hang with friends and relax. The waitstaff is super on and off -- at times they're great but I've also had meh experiences with them. Nonetheless, it's a perfect place to enjoy a beer with friends. Also, the food is tasty.

Kell's has an impressive basement for great dancing. Beware it can get hot and personal space is non existent. Edit: Apparently this place has fish and chips? Don't worry about that. Just stop by around 11pm on St Paddy's Day and head straight downstairs.

Arrived around 10pm on a Friday to celebrate with a friend for their birthday. The music was already turned up. The bartenders were efficient at handling the crowds, and even made it right when they recognized we had been passed over a couple times. The dance floor downstairs was super crowded. It's maybe not the right spot for a quiet pint, but it was a great night spot to drink and dance with friends.
