This iconic pub on Paseo de Montejo is like walking into your favorite neighborhood bar—but with better food, more charm, and a little Irish magic. Hennessy’s has been a staple in the expat and local community for years, and it’s easy to see why. You can walk in alone and end up deep in conversation with someone new by the end of your meal. The ambiance is classic pub-style: dark wood, warm lighting, and a feeling that no matter what kind of day you’ve had, this place will make it better.
Bring Dad here to enjoy a long lunch or relaxed dinner, surrounded by a mix of locals, regulars, and travelers. Whether you sit inside soaking up the pub atmosphere or grab a table on the terrace to enjoy the Paseo view, you’ll feel like part of something special.
What We Love:
The Ranch Burger and fries is a go-to, but don’t miss the everyday specials! Our favorite is the Friday seafood special—especially if the cioppino is on the menu, served with sourdough bread. Add a pint of Hennessy’s stout or a house cocktail, and you’ve got the perfect meal. The vibe is warm, friendly, and community-driven—great for dads who like a bit of banter and a cold brew.
