Irish Kevins

Service was great– if you were wearing full bagpipe regalia. I get that this is an Irish pub, but their «pub fare» is bland, soggy fish and chips.
And, our waitress ignored our table once the pipers came in. No offer of refills. Sat with empty plates 20 minutes before we got the check. You should have just turned over our table if you wanted the pipers as your favorite customers.
Beer was cold.

I went here to watch a little football and have a few beers. I was one of the few non Penn state fans here, but the staff made sure my game was on the whole time. I had an order of wings too which were delicious.

Good food and service. Clean and good for the family. They have live music often and friendly crowd. Try the wings and appetizers.

I have been to Irish Kevins many times and always enjoyed it. However tonight changed my mind. I stopped in for dinner a few minutes 7 after tonight. As usual I sat at the bar. There were two other people at the bar, already served, and perhaps a dozen people all told in the restaurant. The bartender, a woman, completely ignored me as she prepared drinks for other customers. No «hello,» no acknowledgement at all. Then a male bartender/​waiter came behind the bar directly in front of me and also ignored me. When I asked for a menu he told me he was too busy to give me one. Finally he asked what I wanted to drink. I said I would like a menu first. He turned and walked away. When I said I guess I should go somewhere where I won’t be ignored he said, «go, get out.» I asked if either of the owners was there. Of course they weren’t. If you can be sure that one of the owners is there this is a great place to go but avoid it when there is no adult supervision.
Follow up: the owner said that the staff member in question accused me of using foul language and that he would check the surveillance video. He also said that he received a phone call, just as he was reviewing that video thanking him for throwing me out. When pressed about what was on the video, he has refused to respond. So, not only is the staff rude, but they and their friends are liars and the owner has no business sense whatsoever. Stay away.

Been there a couple times. Pretty generic bar/​restaurant. Food was OK, they have a few uninspired craft beers, and the service was very friendly. Not really much seating for parties over four people.

Made a trip home to Upstate NY to watch March Madness with some buddies. We found this nice clean bar and decided to try it out. Great move. The food was bar food with kind of a twist. Had the buffalo chicken dip and coconut shrimp, both were outstanding and the sauce with the shrimp was amazing (they make wings with it, so that’s next). Kevin was taking care of us at the bar and I couldn’t ask for better. He made us the perfect «rotten apple» beers — basically a Black and Tan with Angry Orchard instead (see picture). The TV set up for watching games is as good as you can ask, which is impossible to find in the Binghamton area, and they have QuickDraw which is a bonus. Great staff, great food and nice and clean atmosphere — sports fans dream in my book.

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! I have never been to a bar with such bad service. It was not busy at all. We sat right at the bar and waited for 15 min for a beverage. The bartender was miserable and didn’t smile once. It seemed like if you didn’t know her or her know you, you were out of luck and not getting a drink. She was not attentive and lacked personality. Horrible service. It’s a shame that the food was so good because the service will keep me from returning.

pretty decent place but the kitchen is still working some kinks out. i went with a friend for lunch the other day. this place does have a lot of irish food, but i haven’t eaten much irish food before so i figured i’d stick with some stuff i know, but i would like to try their more traditional irish items at some point. i went with an order of wings and a cheesesteak. i dunno what tempted me to get the cheesesteak, i only ever eat them if i’m in philly or i’m making them myself at home, but i gotta say this was pretty good, but with a couple minor complaints. the meat in it was very good, it seemed like fresh shaved steak as opposed to a steak-​ums type product that gets chopped up but unfortunately there wasn’t much of it on the sub. it was about an 8″ sandwich and only enough meat to fill 2/​3rds of it. it came with house cooked chips that were pretty good. i think it was about $ 8 for the chips and sandwich, which if it had a bit more meat on it would be a fair price. as for the wings, they were sold by the pound, which i thought was a bit odd, definitely a way to cheap out on the owners end. i believe they were $ 8 per pound, and as it turned out one pound was 9 wings. i asked for them to be cooked crisp and while they were good i wouldn’t call them crisp. i got the medium sauce and i feel like it was just the right amount of heat, but still, $ 7 or $ 8 for wings is the standard in this area for an order of either 10 or 12, there’s no reason this place should be any different.
the bar itself is really nice. the only thing i thought was off was the exposed ceiling where everything was painted black. it works for some places but isn’t what i have in mind for an irish pub. the bartender we had was very nice. the kitchen was taking a while with our food and she said they were still getting used to it so she offered us each a drink on the house. they have a decent beer selection, they have Switchback from Vermont which i have never seen around here before, the closest place i’ve seen it was at a bar in oneonta. it was about $ 5 a pint, which i expected, but i heard a guy next to me ask about prices for bud light and a can was $ 3 and bottle $ 3.50, which i thought was a little much. so based on that this is not a place i would go for a night of drinking, but it is nice that they offer good beers to go along with a meal. they have Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA on tap, which i love, but i thought it was odd that they didn’t have any other SN products. the Rye IPA is a seasonal beer of theirs and i hope they get in other SN seasonals. they also had some good tequillas there but i’m afraid of how much a shot of it would cost haha.
this place is new, but definitely worth checking out. i feel like they will be putting out some pretty quality food once they get a bit more settled in.
