Who/What is Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub?
Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub is the only Irish pub in Littleton, CO. We have the uniqueness of Downtown Littleton’s neighborhood charm. From the moment you walk through the doors, you get an authentic Irish feel — it’s warm and heartfelt. Our establishment truly has that “Cheers” vibe where everybody knows your name, and we all look after each other like family.
Being part of a close knit business community gave us the opportunity to partner with local restaurant, Grande Station, for our food menu. We started this during the COVID-19 pandemic and have continued ever since — it’s a great partnership that allows us to expand our offerings.
What is your background and why Downtown Littleton?
The original owners used to own Scruffy Murphy’s in Downtown Denver and were ready to leave the busy city life and move to a smaller, more local neighborhood to focus on the Irish pub feel. What we now know as Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub used to be called The Oasis, and when it went up for sale in 2009, the ownership of Scruffy Murphy’s were ready. They were already looking to move to a smaller community and had zeroed in on providing a neighborhood Irish pub. The character of Downtown Littleton and charm of the neighborhood really appealed to them. One of the owners (who is from Ireland) got that hometown feel he was accustomed to back at his local pubs back in Ireland.
And just like that, Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub was born.
