Reuben and fries

We stopped in at Kierans Pub for dinner. Hubs had the usual--a Reuben and fries. Daughter had the Reuben with a salad. I had bangers and mash. Food was delivered quickly and looked fresh and was hot. Both of them loved their Reuben. They said the sandwiches were very tasty and the caraway rye was interesting. Salad option was nice with the Reuben. It was a large salad with cucumbers and baby greens.My bangers and mash was a little disappointing for me. The potatoes were super whipped, not heavy, and I wondered if they were maybe not homemade. The bangers were reminiscent of Britannia Arms, which is a good thing, but they just weren't as good.Overall, I would definitely return to this pub and order different food! Maybe a Reuben. It sure looked good!

this is a very big traditional style, Irish pub in the heart of downtown. It is perfect for a pregame drink or bite if you're heading to Target center afterwards. we went exactly for this, and found that there were many people there doing the same thing. It was a nice ambience.this place was decorated joyously for Christmas. it has a large capacity for seating and we were sat right away. We had a raspberry sour and a winter ale both of which were very delicious. We also had the buffalo wings which were also very good and had a great flavor that was not too spicy.We then also had the good fortune to go there when Michelob ultra was running a pregame promotion and got some free T-shirts and koozies. definitely recommend going before a game to see if you happen upon any of these fun perks.

My return visit after 4 years. Was staying at the hotel it is connected to. But me and a co-worker initially went to the irish pub across the street. Unfortunately, the place was locked up tight. Not sure why. So we ended up going to Kieran's. We grabbed seats at the bar and placed our order. I went with the pot roast and my co-worker went with the pot roast sandwich. The co-worker said the sandwich was really good. The pot roast for me was ok. Nice and tender and you get a lot of meat. I think the meat could have been flavored more. The mashed potatoes and accompanying veggies were good. And the crispy onions added a nice touch. Service was pretty good, too. Bartender checked on us every few minutes. Not a bad revisit.

This is what you expect, a cross between a somewhat dark Irish pub and sports bar. It just gives a vibe of a little bit of a dirty, sticky floor bar. We went as a large group to watch the Copa finals and it had a lot of TVs. We asked if they could put the game on. It seemed a little bit of a challenge, but ultimately they figured out how to put it on and get audio, but on a Spanish station. My SIL was happy, but I couldn't follow. We could eat, drink and cheer so overall a win.The food was mediocre. We tried the wings, cheese curds, chicken pub pie, and kids chicken bites. My niece had a mushroom flatbread, which looked good.Service is friendly, but a little slow. They gave us like 2 menus and I walked to the stand to get kid menu. It's a little over-priced, at least for apps (e.g., $14 cheese curds or pub pretzels, $15 wings).They had a huge patio. I think if you stick to basics, get a Guinness (husband had 5) and a burger, you'll be fine here.

Kieran's Irish Pub has been a Minneapolis gotta-try for thirty years! (30 years TOMORROW, to be exact.) It lives across the street from the Target Center which makes it super convenient to pop in for a pint prior to a game or after.We were headed to the B1G Women's Basketball tournament and needed food. It was a Friday during lent so of course my parents were in search of meatless options. Holy Walleye Sandwich! That thing could easily feed two. A lot of bang per buck with that menu item.The wings were huge but nothing to write home about. (I'd not order those again.) The Rueben was delish! It had the perfect amount of corned beef and sauerkraut. Absolutely no complaints here. My pint of Guinness was delightful. (There's just something so satisfying about having one in an Irish pub.) The menu wasn't huge by any means but had something for everyone-- it seemed priced pretty reasonably considering it's downtown.My kiddo is obsessed with the Titanic. He loved exploring their Titanic Lounge! (It's only available for private events but the staff let him check it out.) Captain Edward Smiths painting is behind the bar-- loved all the old timey nautical items throughout.Overall, Keiran's Irish Pub is a super cool hangout. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays but stop in for a pint!

Super nice place to chill and enjoy the weather, especially during the warmer months, the outdoor patio is perfect. Walking distance from the Target Center and Target field. Our server, Denisha, was amazing and made the service even better. The flat bread was great, and the Artichoke dip is a must try!

We went here before a Twins game and it is a great location for the baseball field and target center. It had a cool outdoor area that looked fun also! Our waitress was very nice and attentive, though I didn't catch her name. The chicken shots were AMAZING and the pretzel was also great. It was a little pricey, but I assume that's because of location and the proximity to everything. Wouldn't mind going back!

A real local favorite with a solid Irish bar feel. The bar is open and spacious...a great place to have a pint of Guinness or watch the game. Unlike many sports bars, Kieran's has an open feel and even with a game going, a person can still converse. Great decor that doesn't feel forced. Amazing selection of beers ....if course Guinness is the speciality. They feature Irish whiskey and ginger ale as well. Lots of options and great local bartenders. The food is also solid...usual Irish pub fairs like shepherds pie and bangers n mash are excellent. The curry cannot be beat and the chicken soup is great. Such an awesome bar in downtown Minneapolis near the Nicolette mall. Parking is nearby as well or just walk to the twins game!

Came here before a show at first Ave to try something new. My husband had a Guinness which was good. And I had a signature cocktail. drinks were good. We ordered the poutine off the app menu. It was good. But I feel like it needed a little more corned beef and cheese curds. It was mainly just fries and gravy. The bartenders were friendly and the bar itself is really nice. Definitely an Irish pub style. We would go back and maybe try something different if the menu.
