The Kerryman Pub

Friendly local spot. Best dive in Longwood. Cheap drinks, friendly wait staff. Sean and Crystal make the visit complete. Good jukebox and old school cigarette machine is awesome.

Unless you know the bartender, don’t plan on getting served in any kind of fair order except dead last. Don’t expect to get looked at, even though you’re sitting at a huge bar with only two other people at the bar, because the bartender will have his back to you while he complains about not having any money to the other two people who work there. Two people who CAN see you, and see you holding your credit card ready to close out because you’ve had enough of playing the waiting game and just want to go home, but they will not bother to tell the bartender to turn around. Instead they will ask you if you see a white remote control. DO YOU SEE MY CREDIT CARD? Not only do they not want to do their job, they want you to do it for them. Maybe if the bartender did his job he WOULD have some money, from tips? Tossing my beer down so that a portion of my draft spills all over the bar even though it wasn’t full, but he didn’t apologize because he didn’t notice since he had his back to me as he was semi-​slamming it down… Also do not order a car bomb, as he pours so little Guinness into a tiny glass that you can’t pour your shot glass in it as there’s not enough beer for it to float in and mix with.
Don’t expect to order wings to go at 7:25 and be out of there before 8:05, even though the wings were sitting on the counter waiting to be bagged up for about 25 minutes. Don’t expect the bartender to ring your order up correctly, but then again don’t bother to have him correct it unless you have another god knows how many minutes to waste (since the mistake was small we opted to ignore it, as I didn’t want to be in there one second longer). Honestly if ever I would have walked out on my tab, it would have been here. At the very least I should have canceled my order of wings, which were supposed to be honey and garlic mixed together but instead had no garlic on them at all. Oh and check out the pic of the unwashed celery we got! What an absolutely disgusting place. I get that it’s Longwood and on 434 the bars are just trash, but just keep going a little farther and go to Hourglass. Or even one of the other dirty bars around. Seriously ANYWHERE is better than here. There’s no excuse. I am not going to yell in a quiet empty-​ish bar to get the bartender’s attention when we are literally sitting across from the register so he has to see us EVERY time he’s there. It’s not like this is a crowded downtown club. Avoid like the plague. You’ve been warned.

Rochelle the Bartender was awesome!
Don’t bother putting money in the jukebox they will just override and play some top 40. Because that’s what everyone in a billiards bar wants to hear. (said noone ever.) A shame to see a great venue turn into just another beer place.

This place was cool. Back before Cheers became Hoddies, I used to bounce between there and here. Both places had their perks, but I love the pool tables here at Kerryman’s, and you can get a ping pong set up from the bar and play ping pong as well. Beer pong in a bar? Awesome! Cheap beer, good bar food. Plus, one time my wife, who doesn’t drink, wanted McDonald’s which is just across the parking lot, so my sister-​in-​law Katie told her boyfriend to let the bartender know we’d be back, and then her, my wife, and myself left and started to walk to McDonald’s. Apparently, her boyfriend forgot to relay the message to the bartender, so he came running out after us, but as soon as we explained that both my wife and Katie’s purses were still there, as well as Katie’s boyfriend, and that we were coming right back, he started cracking up laughing and told us to take our time. About 15 minutes later, when we came walking back in, he started waving excitedly at us and joked with us that «I thought I was going to have to chase you guys down 434!» Can’t think of very many other bars where a misunderstanding like that would’ve ended quite as nicely.

First time there last night nice bar friendly people, not too smoky and the pool tables are good. They had trivia that night, my first time doing it definitely fun!
I will very much recommend this establishment and will be going back as often as possible!

When my friend told me her going away party was going to be here, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially given the strip-​mall location. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a large space with a gameroom, a low-​lit bar and a brightly-​lit seating area. Lots of beers on tap, friendly and pleasant staff and decent hot wings. Clean and not at all smoky either. Solid dive-​bar spot.

Kerymans has THE BEST wings in Orlando. Many flavors and always crispy and delicious!
Definitely a family bar with great local atmosphere. Drinks are well priced and poured well. The seats have been replaced recently and they have an updated juke that takes credit cards.
They allow smoking in this bar (which I love!) And provide plenty of dart boards and four pool tables.

I don’t frequent bars, but occasionally I love to enter dimly lit places that smell like a poker game from the 1940’s, sit in the (almost) dark, and have a good drink. I don’t care if the place isn’t modern and fancy, I just care that I won’t die from some weird flesh-​eating virus because it isn’t clean. This doesn’t happen there, so win-​win!
I was having one of those days, and I just wanted to have a few drinks (and not go broke doing it) while playing a few bar games. The machine at the bar’s corner was unoccupied so I had a seat and ordered a drink. The bartender was friendly and attentive (there were quite a few people there so I was impressed that he kept up and managed to do so with a smile), and I felt very welcome. I sat there for nearly two hours and never felt bothered or neglected. They had a decent menu, but I went simple and I tried the mozzarella stix. Not bad! (Not that you can truly mess up mozz stix, but I digress).
My chair was ripped and the bar will never win a beauty contest, but my bill was cheap, my glass was always refilled, and even though there were a few cosmetic things that could have benefited from some lipstick (I’m referring to my chair, I’m a chick, we nitpick!), I wouldn’t hesitate to go there again.
The smoke can get overwhelming if you aren’t used to it, but if you’re there for the drinks, breathe through your mouth! ;-)

A few friends who used to work at Cheers (a short walk from The Kerryman) have begun to hang out here, so I imagine I’ll be hanging out here a little bit more than I’d like to. I was here on Thurs. for a little while to hang out with them and to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We had fun and I can’t complain about anything, though I definitely prefer Cheers. The staff here is friendly and the drinks and prices are good. For whatever reason, this just is not one of my favorite places. (See my original review, which is more specific.) I’m upping my review from 2 stars to 3 since it likely isn’t as bad as I originally made it out to be, and perhaps it will grow on me a little bit more if I come here more often, which is entirely possible … if my friends decide to keep hanging out here. We’ll see. I can take or leave this place, and most others might agree. Check it out with tempered expectations — there are nicer places in the area, but there certainly are worse as well.
Also, don’t be alarmed by the Pinhead picture — as far as I can tell, he does not work here. Thank God.

The Kerryman is a very chill place where you can grab a drink with some friends or play some pool and darts. They have great drink specials including a «Guys Night» on Wednesdays!
I really love this bar because it is owned by a local who you can often find hanging out playing poker on Thursday nights. There are tons of familiar faces here if you come often and the prices are good as well. All in all a solid choice and not what I would call a hole in the wall!
