Kennedy's Irish Pub and Indian Restaurant is a laid-back spot where you can indulge in tasty Indian dishes and cask ales amid pool tables and vintage vibes.
"Irish pubs and Indian curry houses collide infrequently, to say the least, but it’s a testament to San Francisco’s iconoclastic nature that one such combination has lasted more than 30 years in a famously Italian neighborhood. Fish and chips here are just $9.99, and the chicken pakora goes for just $7.99, with most dishes under $18." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This North Beach hangout is a choose-your-own-adventure mashup featuring both an Irish bar and an Indian restaurant, serving everything from pani puri to biryanis and curries. Also a huge plus: it’s very vegetarian-friendly. At the pub, play pool, Skee-Ball, or foosball; grab a pint of Guinness; and watch a game on the TV." - Paolo Bicchieri
"In North Beach, and all of San Francisco, there’s just one multi-story bar and restaurant where you can enjoy pool, pints of Guinness, tandoori chicken, and syrupy sweet gulab jamun, plus a big outdoor patio for the extra raucous parties. The kitchen closes at midnight, but the bar stays open until 2 a.m." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"Thankfully, North Beach’s longstanding multi-story temple to Indian food and pints of Guinness, Kennedy’s Indian Curry House & Irish Pub, is old reliable, the classic go-to for continuing to drink or getting som aloo gobi to sober up. But the main attraction might be gulab jamun, which costs about $3 here and comes swimming in sugar. Fried to perfection, it’s the correct post-bar crawl fuel to get you on your way home in an Uber." - Eater Staff
"Kennedy’s is an eclectic establishment combining an Irish pub and Indian restaurant. The building housing Kennedy’s is up for sale, which has caused concern among its fans about its future. Despite previous closure announcements, the venue has managed to remain open." - Paolo Bicchieri
