Took advantage of their Thursday special which was two 3-course dinners for $26. We both ordered the steak with Jameson-peppercorn sauce which was and extra $2 each but well worth it. Very tasty and done just perfectly. It was good to see that they didn't scrimp on their specials. I also had the Irish potato cake for an appetizer which... More

We ate here with a group of 6 - several of the meals were good but most were average to below average. Service was not good. We were chatting initially so took a while to order but once we did we didn't see our server again until the check. Someone else brought our food and our server never stopped back... More

We eat at May Kelly's whenever we're in the area. The portions are huge, the food delicious and the decor makes you feel like you're in an pub in Ireland, not NH. They were having an informal Irish music session in the bar area when we were there this time, which just added to the authentic feel of being in... More

Delicious Irish Fare in a great atmosphere. The fish n' chips was the best I have had anywhere and the corned beef & cabbage was outstanding. Service was good and server was also attentive to our 4 yr old son. The only complaint I have is the temperature in the restaurant was too hot. More

We recently took a trip just for overnight and a day to Conway NH. We looked at other restaurants in the area and finally decided on here. We were not disappointed! The food was great, the staff friendly and the decor was eclectic. We will definitely visit when in the area again. More

Excellent service, always with a smile. I love that they have Magner's Cider on draught, and my boyfriend loves that he can get a legit Black & Tan (Guiness & Smithwick's). Food is great, but our favorite part is by far the atmosphere. Even if seated in the dining room the sounds of the live music can be heard. The... More
