Established in 1978 in the heart of Capitol Hill, Kelly’s Irish Times is a celebrated landmark known for its perfect balance of authentic Irish hospitality and a lively, fun atmosphere. Recognized as one of America’s top bars, Kelly’s was named one of the best bars in America by Esquire Magazine in 2014 and has earned accolades from USA Today, Gayot.com, FOX News, and MSN.com as one of the country’s top 10 Irish pubs.
Kelly’s offers an exceptional selection of draft beers, Irish whiskeys, and a full-service bar, paired with a menu that delights all tastes. Signature dishes include Irish classics like Guinness Irish Stew and Corned Beef & Cabbage, alongside American favorites like Pulled Pork BBQ Sliders and New England Clam Chowder.
In early 2015, owner Brendan Kelly unveiled a brand new whiskey bar, which boasts a well-rounded menu of 23 Irish Whiskeys, 29 Kentucky Bourbons, 22 varieties of Scotch, and 16 Ryes.
“Give Me Your Thirsty, Your Famished, Your Befuddled Masses”
Kelly’s Irish Times is a quaint, sometimes boisterous Irish pub, with great food, perfect cold pints, a wicked cast of characters behind the bar, and a world-class jukebox.
