May Kelly's Cottage

This is one of my favorite places to eat in North Conway. I have in fact taken the two hour drive because I was craving some Irish in my day. It is just beyond the Center which for me is the gateway to where the unknown adventure is about to begin. This isn't just about the ambiance, which includes every inch of the place thematically detailed with cultural icons, a good fiddle, and arguably one of the best views of Cathedral Ledge, it's the pride. The moment you walk through the door you are almost guaranteed to be greeted by the owner. I haven't ever held a conversation with her but, she always greets you with the warmest welcome and sees you off with gratitude. Now to what got ya there in the first place, the food.... This is where the warmth, pride and love really hit you in the gut.

This is definitely my favorite Irish restaurant/pub and wish it was closer to me. The decor is pretty cool and unique. My family and I enjoyed dining there. The service and food were fantastic. I had an Irish coffee with Bailey's and it was so good I had to have another. For my meal, I did the Irish sampler; 3 bowls consisting of Shepard's pie, beef stew, and pot pie. All were amazing but my favorites were the beef stew then the Shepard's pie. Overall, a great spot for some Irish food and can't wait to go back!

Have been to North Conway a bunch but never went here. What a cool place! Nice warm and cozy atmosphere. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Food was also good and a good size portion. Worth a visit on your next trip through!

We enjoyed dinner here on a weekend past the tourist high season. It was before 6 PM but the dining room was full. We took a high top in the bar area. Service was excellent. I think we have a new favorite restaurant in North Conway.

The food was good. Portion sizes are on the larger side. The atmosphere is really cozy and is an ideal place to get farm to table dishes. The only downside in terms of food and beverages is that they don't have cans and have only Pepsi. Although not a real deal breaker but I personally am not a fan of fountain soda. The staff was really welcoming, and food came out fairly quickly. The outside seating is recommended as you get a really beautiful view of Mount Washington.
