Kelleher's Irish Pub & Eatery

People are always raving about Kelleher’s, and I finally had the chance to see what all the hype was about. My husband and I walked in and it almost felt like we showed up after the party had already started, which was actually kind of funny and honestly a good sign. Everyone was clearly having a great time, enjoying their meals, and catching up with friends. From the moment you walk up to Kelleher’s, it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s located in downtown Peoria among all the historic brick buildings, and the wrought iron gates paired with the classic Irish font make it feel so charming and inviting. Walking inside is just as impressive — there’s greenery everywhere, a cozy fireplace right at the entrance, and all kinds of different tables and chairs that don’t match at all… in the best way.

Mmmm. I know people do black flips for this establishment. Not a huge fan. Service was good. Little more attention to detail on food being served. As far as my entree was concerned 😧 Every one’s else was good. I will be back.

This was our second time visiting - highly recommend, the cheese curd appetizer was a hit too!

This was the most disgusting, billable meal I can remember. The Shepherds Pie was a salty, pile of gooey meaty mess. I think, maybe there were 2 or 3 peas in it and a small scoop of potatoes on top. Really disgusting that they served this and I PAID for it. Wish I would have taken a picture to show you. the atmosphere was great.

We stopped by between 6 and 7 on a Friday night and thought for sure there would be a long wait. To our amazement, we were seated quickly even though it was really busy. The staff was friendly and helpful, all while keeping up with a pretty frantic pace. We started out with the Irish chips, which were delicious. One of us had the Guiness beef sandwich and the other had the turkey, bacon, avocado club. Both sandwiches were really good. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations. On top of great food, the atmosphere is really comfortable and the building is gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit. We would certainly visit again if we are in the area.
