Reviews
If you’re looking for classic bar food done right, Paddy Kelly’s at 154 Washington St, Peabody, MA, is a must-visit. From giant margarita towers to loaded nachos and hearty burgers, this spot delivers on both flavor and value. Whether you’re out with friends or family, it’s the kind of place where you can kick back, indulge, and enjoy some solid comfort food in a no-frills setting.
The Must-Have Dishes
Kitchen Sink Nacho Tray ($17.95) – An absolute steal! This massive tray of nachos is loaded with grilled chicken, chili, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and jalapeños, served with salsa and sour cream. Easily feeds four people and is hands-down worth coming back for. 9/10
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich ($14.95) – Crispy buffalo chicken with just the right amount of heat, paired with cool bleu cheese. If you’re hunting for a great Buffalo chicken sandwich near Medford or Boston (seriously, where are the good ones?), this is a solid contender. 9/10
Smokehouse Burger ($14.95) – Stacked with BBQ sauce, bacon, an onion ring, and pepper jack cheese, it was a good burger, but honestly, the onion rings stole the show. Cooked perfectly crisp— which so many places mess up! 7/10
Hit or Miss
Steak & Cheese Egg Rolls ($14.95) – Filled with shaved steak and served with buffalo ranch for dipping, these had great flavor but were just way too greasy. 6/10
Pizza – Undercooked, but decent for the price. If you’re looking for a great pizza, this isn’t the spot. 5/10
Drinks: The Real Star
Margarita Tower – Absolutely massive and perfect for sharing. You can’t go wrong with this one!
☕ Giant Espresso Martinis – If you’re a fan of espresso martinis, they go big here—definitely worth trying.
Final Verdict
If you want a true Boston dive bar experience, this is it. No frills, just solid food and strong drinks at a great price. Come for the drinks and nachos!
– Food: 7/10 on the bar food scale.
– Affordability: 8/10
– Ambiance: 5/10 (It’s a dive bar—if you want a true Boston experience, come here!)
– Overall: 7/10
That said, staffing at this level during peak volume is a management decision, and it negatively impacted the experience.
My larger concern was safety. The space felt crowded well beyond a comfortable or reasonable level. It was standing room only, and exiting required squeezing past and making physical contact with multiple patrons. This raised serious concerns about whether the venue was operating within fire code capacity.
Unfortunately, I’ll probably not be back.
