Kennedy's pub and curry house has the best beer selection and mouth-watering Indian cuisine, not to mention an original South Indian menu, with dining until 1 am. It's hard to say what is drawing celebrities and musicians to Kennedy's: the foosball, internet jukebox, venue across the street, or location. Places like this don't really exist, except in dreams.

Pros: Voted Best Indian Cuisine in San Francisco. North and South Indian Cuisine.

This is one place that the locals cherish. You can eat good food, including beers, for under $20. What more can you ask for? They even have DirecTV sports packages, so you can watch just about any game live. Multiple happy hours and "buy now drink later" token system makes Kennedy's unbeatable in San Francisco. Try it, you'll like it! Check out their web site for discount food coupon.

Pros: 33 draft beers and 2 for 1 happy hour. sports on direcTV, 10 large HDTV screens

strange combo but it is wonderful. It's and older musty place and there is plenty of space. There is a little outdoor patio with tables and chairs that you can enjoy your drink as well as smoke if you want to. Got great flat screen tvs so it's a fine place to watch a sporting event. Pool tables etc. I will definitely go back to this place.

Place is a little dirty, and the layout is not that great, and they only serve beer and wine, but bartender Sally is the bomb! I probably will turn around and walk out if she's not there, but if she is......mmmmmm....I'll stay there all night......

Pros: Sally, Sally, Sally

Cons: There's not more than one Sally

but worth a trip! Very yummy indian food and it's paired up with a great neighborhood sports bar. There are several pool tables and the place is huge! I wasn't too sure about it the first time i went but i had a great time, had good beer and good food. Will definitely be returning.

Pros: food, drinks and sports

Cons: if you don't like the smell of curry...

If you are looking for food and beer, this is a good one. No romantoic fancy shmancy. Don't go there for a first date!

Well, its just perfect. Irish pub with dozens of beer on tap AND indian food to order till 1am. You can order your favorite beer and have it samosas or pakodas or perhaps a full fledged order with naan and curries. The kitchen is pretty full-fledged and even south indian cuisine is served. Kennedy's has pool tables, foosball, hockey tables..etc. It is just perfect for a full night out. Its going to be difficult to beat this place. Perfection is hard to improve.

Pros: Inexpensive, Great beer, Great food

I travel to San Francisco on business trips occaisonally and I'm always looking for places that are the real San Francisco, not touristy. A colleague recommended Kennedy's and I owe him big. It doesn't look like much when you first walk in, that was my first clue that I might've stumbled onto something. It's a little dark, very low-key, but ripe with atmosphere. Everyone I met was friendly, and they covered the spectrum, like a microcosm of the whole city in this one place. At first I thought the combination of Irish pub/Indian curry house was a bit strange, but then I remembered where in the world I was. The food was great, especially the Tandoori Chicken. Since that initial visit, I've been back several times. I can't wait to get back again.

Pros: Food, Beer Selection, Elaine the bartender

Cons: let me see..., there must be..., one. Nope, all good.

Kennedy's is a pub not unlike ones in England. It's dark, maybe a little grungy, but it's got great beer and the people are friendly. It's a locals hangout, not a tourist spot like a lot of the places in the North Beach area. So if your in town and want a break from the Fisherman's Warf, head on down to Kennedy's, try one of their many regionally brewed beers or a good 'ol Guinness, and pull up a chair on the deck. The air hockey and pool tables are nice too.

Pros: Good beer selection, Casual environment, Not crowded

Editor's Review

Fun Irish pub and Indian restaurant in one retro, cavernous venue.  See the full editorial review.
