I had a fantastic experience at Kip’s. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with that classic Irish pub charm — cozy, lively, and perfect for both casual dinners or catching up over drinks. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious and comforting. Everything we ordered came out hot and fresh, and the flavors really hit the spot. The drink selection is solid too — a great mix of beers on tap, Irish whiskeys, and fun cocktails. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite, watching a game, or staying for a full meal, Kip’s is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back soon!

Very cool place with character, I can't say that much these days. We sat at the bar and had great service. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I'll be going back!

From the comments, Kips seems to run hot and cold. Evidently, we were there on a hot day. We were staying next door at the Courtyard. Walked over for something different. Seated quickly. Great service. Very good food. I had the corned beef Hash with poached eggs and hollandaise. Quiet atmosphere - could talk with the spouse. Billed directly to our room at the Courtyard. Deserving of 5* when we were there.

Kip’s Irish Pub is one of about 30 restaurants on our company’s carefully curated lunch list (built over more than a decade). We add new spots when they impress us, and if a place lets us down the first two times, it doesn’t make the cut. To date, we’ve never dropped a restaurant once it’s earned a place. Kip’s has remained a constant favorite for over 10 years because the food is consistently delicious, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the experience is always top-notch.

Our favorites include the hearty Shepherd’s Pie — a deceptively simple dish with just a few ingredients, yet somehow the flavors meld in a way most of us have never been able to replicate at home. It’s the boss’s go-to order.

When he’s not with us, we often opt for the fish and chips. Served on mock newsprint (thankfully not the real thing), the fish and fries are always crisp and flavorful. In over a decade, there’s only been one time they missed the mark — about five years ago — and they immediately offered to replace the meal and comped it. We declined the replacement, and it hasn’t happened since.

The prime rib sandwich and fish tacos are also regular favorites.

Kip’s has earned our loyalty by being accommodating, patient, fun, and consistently outstanding. Here’s to many more Friday lunches!

Please tell me what Irish Pub runs out of Guinness? What a joke. Wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. 1000% not at all affiliated with any person of Irish descent. If so, they should be ashamed of themselves, and the souls of their ancestors frown upon them at every glance. No Guinness.... Unforgivable.

We loved this place. Had breakfast and dinner several times over the course of a couple days. Food was incredible, good drinks, good service. Very convenient when staying at the Marriott West. Would give a few more stars if I could

My “medium rare” steak was well done. Low quality meat and cooked terribly. Potatoes and veggies were bland. Wouldn’t recommend.

Was seated right away then not acknowledged for 20 minutes despite checking with the hostess. Left and ate at bar next door. Restaurant was extremely loud.

Subject: Extremely Poor Service at Kips Restaurant

I had one of the worst experiences at Kips Restaurant recently. I was left waiting for over an hour without even being acknowledged or allowed to place an order. Despite clearly trying to get the attention of the waiter multiple times, I was completely ignored while others who arrived much later were being served.

This level of service is unacceptable. No customer should ever have to sit for that long just to make an order—especially without a single apology or explanation from the staff. If this is how Kips treats its customers, I honestly see no reason to come back or recommend it to anyone.

I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the issue with the staff involved.
Also when we get served the food was even not how we ordered the salmon fish was burnt when we told them they didn’t even cared also mash potatoes was worse we tried to show them too but never cared
