There are several reports on TripAdvisor that say that Kennedy's is closed. That's very interesting - since my wife and I had dinner there last night, and when I asked the waitress about the reports that they had closed, she was totally baffled. Kennedy's is a small Irish bar and restaurant in the very upscale West 57th Street area of... More

The lovely established waitresses have left and with it the cheerful service. After posting a good review for this establishment earlier this year, I feel I should remark that it is starting to slide downhill. Had brunch there today and it was so-so with very slow service, one completely wrong order for my friend ... who had wanted French toast... More

Good atmosphere after the Tartan Day Parade, with some pipers and drummers still around. Good food and service and close to our hotel. More

I have been to Kennedy's several times this year. The bartenders and the rest of the staff are always friendly. The food is good and is served promptly. Menu has a good variety. The tap beer selection is better than most Irish restaurants and includes Goose Island IPA. The house wine selection is reasonably priced and good quality. I'll be... More

While in NYC with the Wife for Holiday shopping, we stopped into Kennedy's. Hadn't been here in a few years. Boy we were surprised. The New Owner might have bought the name and location, But did Not get the Charm this place had. The Staff All Used to be Friendly and attentive, management would go out of there way to... More

Loved it here. We had a 11 year old with us so we reserved a table and had great service. Our server happened to be from Ireland and had only been in the states a couple of months. As we were leaving an Irish band started playing, bagpipes and all, in the bar. So much fun. Oh, and good food... More

Stumbled upon this spot while in NYC, on a Saturday night, before going to a show at Lincoln Center. There was room for our table of 10 and our lovely Irish Server got us in and out efficiently and pleasantly. Food was decent, price was fantastic. Absolutely worth the couple of blocks down from the park, I think we saved... More

I got a burger here one rainy, dreary night in January and it was so delicious that I brought my boss back for lunch the next day and recommended that he get the burger too (he did). Kennedy's is a very comfortable pub with a dining room in the back and a bar in the front (my choice). The hostess... More
