"Irish bars are fairly rare in Austin, so when a new one opens in a previously-lacking neighborhood, the local response tends to be pretty joyful. Kelly’s Irish Pub set up shop on West Oltorf Street in 2022, and in just a couple of short years, South Austin has fallen in love with its satisfying Irish stew, fried shepherd’s pie rice balls, and enormous Irish breakfast plates. And because Kelly’s takes its only-Irish-pub-in-South-Austin status seriously, it pours a mean pint of Guinness." - Taylor Tobin
