Kelly’s Irish Pub

Kelly’s sits around South Lamar and Oltorf, south of the river and outside downtown’s main visitor core. Its website presents a neighbourhood-scale pub: bar seating, tables, weekend brunch and dishes ranging from fish and chips and shepherd’s pie to Scotch eggs, an Irish breakfast and burgers. The online menu lets guests check dishes and prices before arriving, useful for anyone planning a full meal in an area with many restaurants.

Reviews for this address repeatedly praise the Guinness, Irish traditional music, friendly service and cosy feel; they also note that the room can fill up on music nights, so some groups arrive early or choose outdoor seating. The pub also offers private-party space. Its appeal is less about a large themed hall than a local bar-and-kitchen experience shaped by live sessions and regular gatherings.

The official address is 519 West Oltorf Street, Austin, TX 78704; phone (512) 740-4300. The website lists a 1 p.m. opening on weekdays and a 9 a.m. start on weekends; on Saturdays it stays open until 1 a.m. The menu helps visitors plan, and the website links Facebook and Instagram, where the pub posts its music schedule. Weekend brunch starts early; guests looking for a traditional session or a private gathering can check the calendar and ask the venue about availability.
