Kelly’s Irish Pub

The service: horrible
The staff: nonexistent
Cleanliness: I wish it had been darker in there
The food: below standard «bar food»
Prices: too high for what you get
Highlight: my Reuben was decent, until I found the HAIR on it *sigh*

Kelly’s is a divey bar with a light Irish atmosphere. Beer selection is OK, whiskey selection looked robust.
Now let’s talk to food.
I chose the Ruben sandwich (Irish Pub right). Although they implied it was made in house I have my doubt. The corned beef was cut way too consistently and tastes processed. I saw the waitress taking sauerkraut out of a «food service» bucket and warm it on the grill. Although the sandwich was ok. I wasn’t impressed.
Frozen French fries … I won’t say more.
There are just too many good places out there to eat at. Kelly’s is not one of those.

Quaint neighborhood pub, nice patio, no presumptions, just a good place to spend a few hours catching up with friends. Food is pretty good too.

Ok if u get the right bar maid. Unfortunately. The one we have wound up with today has the personality of a gnat. If they would get some nice personalities behind the bar them they might attract nicer clientele.

Pros: There’s a nice patio, drink service is fast, and free popcorn.
Cons: Draft beer is warm, food service is slow.
Neutral: Menu is very limited, but well-​executed.

Came on a Friday night to have a quick drink. Jacob and I immediately noticed the «bro» crowd and the crazy-​loud music. We had to scream to talk to one another.
We sat down at a table in the middle of the place and looked around desperately for a server. None ever came to us, so when a couple seats at the bar opened up, we sat there. I ordered a cocktail, Jake got a pint of Killian’s. My drink was $ 5.50, which was a rip-​off because the drink was weak and they made it a tall even though I didn’t ask for it that way.
We couldn’t wait to finish our drinks. The horrible loud music and the obnoxious crowd were enough to turn us off, but the bartender wearing a belly shirt in the middle of winter was probably the nail in the coffin.

Although the place looks a great deal better than it used to, I’m not a fan of the new atmosphere. As I’ve read in prior reviews, the new management seems to forget that it’s a «neighborhood» bar and not a club. The waitstaff leaves something to be desired in the class department.

They have done a great job with the reno’s and the beer is cheep. Cheers!

Recently under new ownership, Kelly’s has seen some badly needed updates. I’m not sure that they really need a DJ here like they had on Saturday night but they do have a grill going now and the place feels less cluttered. I miss using the back service door to enter the place tho.

This bar recently changed hands and reopened in July 2012. The place has been nicely spruced up with new tables, flooring, paint and looks nice inside. They now have Guiness on tap (as well as Killian’s).
They really need to revisit their pricing structure, though. I think the new owners have forgotten that this is a neighborhood bar — not a destination hot spot. The cost of a Michelob Ultra was $ 3.50 on an early Saturday afternoon while the bar was mostly empty. I’m told that premium drinks (Captain and Coke) are over $ 5 a piece. They don’t serve food anymore, at least not yet. Although, the bartender made popcorn and told me to help myself.
Speaking of the bartender, she had zero personality and wasn’t all that grateful for our business. I would suggest bringing friends if you’re hoping to have someone friendly to talk to as you enjoy your beer.
A friend of mine (former regular of the bar) also visited recently. They attempted to introduce themself to one of the owners, saying «Hi, are you the owner?» The response? «That’s what they f****n call me.» Nice.
So, maybe it’s a little early to judge this place. I hope they will re-​evaluate some of the decisions they’ve made so far and make this back into a great neighborhood place. Right now, it isn’t.

Not very good service. Didnt have irish beer on tap. Could be much better.

I’ve been to hundred’s of Irish pubs around the world, this is the first Irish pub that doesn’t serve Guinness on tap!
They had American beers on tap, (bud and bug light.) i just don’t understand why they don’t have Guinness on tap. still confused.
The bar tender lady is nice and friendly, she also the chef. Gave her extra tip in hope it will contribute to the funds to have Guinness on tap.
The pub it self however did have the Irish feel to it which was good.
