Hmm, well, have to sit outside in this county right now but, Kelley's has an "enclosed outside." We started at Buffalo Wild Wings, where you had to sit outside, but they only had plastic cups, paper plates, and flies. So we left for Cotton Patch Cafe. There's one near us in Texas which is excellent but again, here, outside, 30-minute wait due to only two cooks and they sell no beer. So bye bye. Found a good ole Irish pub. . With a Mexican twist. Ordered chicken wings with sweet and sour sauce. Very good. Have pitchers with glass mugs. Bonus. Hubs ordered the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Instant potatoes, Luke warm. Chickens was meh. I ordered the Buffalo chicken salad. Bagged salad. Bagged (think Walmart) taco cheese. Sysco chicken nuggets. And ranch. Menu says blue cheese. We got ranch. Bleh. All of it bleh. Once we finished, either the air shifted and we could smell a cow farm or the loo was wafting into the eating area. Staff attentive. Clientele pleasant. Atmosphere fun. Just don't order what we did. read more

The service was horrible Lying waitresses with no repercussions for bad service. I explained we'd been here, waiting on service, for 45 minutes and she called me a liar read more

If you're craving some good appetizers, a place for dancing, or a pretty rowdy experience while watching the game on TV, Kelley's is the place to visit. My friend had visited Kelley's once before, saying that the appetizers were really good. We were excited to try some of their main course dishes for dinner, and seeing the parking lot packed with cars only made us that much more excited. IDs are checked at the door right when you enter the restaurant. There is a slightly elevated bar area as well as tables on the lower level for guests who want to eat and watch the dance floor. The star of Kelley's Bar and Grill is definitely the open dance floor with their live band. As they played song after song, the atmosphere became much more lively and fun. Sadly the food was not as great. Parmesan chicken: The dish sounded pretty good on menu, but when it came out I thought it was incredibly disjointed. The noodles were not cooked well and reminded me more of Chinese noodles than Italian noodles. Having marinara sauce and small chunks of dried chicken parmesan just didn't go well with noodles. It was baked with some melted cheese on top. My friends ordered a smothered steak and the rib eye, and both of them agreed that the meat was not cooked to their liking. The only thing that was decent was the side salad that came with the dishes. I would not recommend coming here for dinner, but if you want a small bite to eat and a beer to drink, I would say Kelley's is a good choice. Or if you're in the mood for a nice environment to dance in, drop by Kelley's! Just don't order the Parmesan chicken. read more

I would not even give 1 star. Literally should have left when my nachos came out with no cheese. Maybe 2 tablespoons of cheese on the garbage nachos which should be renamed poor mans nachos! Our first drink was good, second one tasted like koolaid and the last drink was pure cranberry. I was even told there was only ONE bartender! Who I am sure was overwhelmed as they were busy! I get there trying to make up there money from the renovations, but you shouldn't rip off your customers. So, I do not recommend this place. It's a rip off. I will stick to kbobs. The owner or manger "tried" to show me a video but literally didn't show me anything and was like, "yeah it's on there I seen it." What a joke. Our waitress was awesome. read more

Kelley's Bar & Grill - two glasses of alcohol on a table - Sports Bars Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

Visiting to take a group of company employees for dinner and drinks. I arrived early to secure a table. Wasn't busy, so I sat at a rail by the dance floor. The waitress ignored me for 15 minutes, so I went to the bar to get a drink! Friends started arriving and we moved from the bar to a large table. The waitress continued to ignore us! Only reason they lost a star. We ended up getting one of the managers taking care of our table and we had a great time! read more

Kelley's Bar & Grill - Clovis 7 - Sports Bars Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

The food used to be amazing. Came back to town and wanted to go there right away. We ordered sampler plate. Asked for chicken taquitos got beef mostly in pieces, asked for mild chicken wings got spicy and the fried mushrooms let's say they were very crispy. The service was lousy and unfriendly. read more

This place was disappointing. The server treated my group well, but the food was either way over cooked or undercooked. Two of my friends ordered the rib-eye steak. One ordered it medium, the other medium rare. They both came out well done. One was sent back and then came out "black and blue" sent back again, third time was rare- maybe medium rare in spots. The burgers were way over cooked, however French fries were good, especially the waffle fries. I wouldn't recommend eating at Kelley's, however there are pool tables, live music on a Thursday night and could be a decent bar for a drink. read more

We are the best steak salad I've had anywhere. Flavor was magnificent! We ate at another much more expensive restaurant in town and it did not compare. We will be back when in town. Great job Kelley's. read more

On a scorching New Mexico day, Kelley's provides a cool inviting atmosphere. The AC is blowing inside and the patio has umbrellas on the picnic tables and misting fans. After reading the reviews, I was expecting to last a whole 15 minutes due to smoke. But to my surprise, I did not find evidence that this was a smoking establishment. No doubt that the Monday night I stopped in is not what you would find on a Saturday night when the dance floor is probably getting some use and bands are performing. I walked in to find locals sitting at the bar and congregating in one general section of Kelley's large bar & grill. There are several pool tables behind a wall near the dance floor. The menu was huge and of course had a green chili cheeseburger (NM is big on green chili as chilies are a large crop there). The menu is four pages long and offers fried everything, Mexican food, sandwiches, soups and salads. I ordered a glass of wine which the waitress inquired from the bartender if it was box. The bartender yelled out (unsolicited) "Not sure if this is any good but it has a cork". I replied that was fine. The wine gave me a headache, but not knowing if it was a $5 glass or a $10, I drank it anyways. The bill came and it was only $4. Think I will get vodka or rum if there is a next time. The staff was friendly enough, it was clean, smoke free and had a variety of food. If this was anywhere else, I probably would have given it two stars, but to be honest, it is one of three bars in town and I was just happy to find a place that was open where I could grab a drink. read more

Kelley's Bar & Grill - a sign for the restaurant - Sports Bars Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

This place is filthy. Sticky tables, sticky chairs, dirty cups and a bathroom that looks like a barn stable and reaks of bleach. Food here isn't that great, and neither are the drinks. Service is horrible as well. Unless you are a regular there, don't plan on getting your food or drinks right away. I came there with a party of 6 and we kept having to walk over to ask our waitress for beers. It got to the point where we just got up and walked to the bar to get them and brought it back to our table. Super country/farmish/military atmosphere. If you have ever watched Army Wives, this place is Clovis, NM's version of the Hump Bar. read more

i ordered a takeout and went to the bar to pick it up. Rather rude man said just a minute and then went to cash register and worked with other staff and ignored me. Finally got the attention of another waitress, could not find my order, checked I'd called Kelly's in nm not California . I said let's forget it and left. Waitress ran out with order slip, took my card and came back with my very cooled off order. Not liking takeout. NOW, all that said, we love Kellys and plan to go in person in a few weeks. read more

Probably the worst establishment I've been in in 5 years. Terrible waiting staff. Just staring at our party with confusion like they don't know where they are. Regulars are arrogant and ignorant. Felt very unwelcome. Avoid if you can. Better off drinking a 6 pack in the hood! read more

Clovis doesn't exactly offer a vast array of choices for nightlife. For many people, it's between Clovis City Limits and Kelley's. I prefer Kelley's because you can almost always get a table and you don't feel like an outcast if you don't dance. The food here isn't great, but it's consistent and better than most bar food. Apparently it attracts a large lunch crowd, but I've only been at night and ordered appetizers. I highly recommend the queso though -- the green chilies add an unusual kick. Depending on what night you go the crowd varies. I've seen everything from birthday parties early on in the evening to drunk barely-over-21 kids to couples whirling around to the DJ spinning Garth Brooks. They also offer a decent TV watching experience for you sports fans looking to catch the game. Kelley's is what you make of it: You can sit at a corner table and watch everyone else with a Budweiser in hand, or you can jump in the action and shake your thing on the dance floor. Either is perfectly okay and you're bound to not be the only one doing it. Just beware, on weekends they charge a cover and you'll get wanded with a metal detector at the door. I don't why they started doing this recently, but I'm probably better off not knowing. Eep! read more

New owners and new management! Just ate the best steak ever in Clovis. New food, live music, dueling pianos, outdoor seating and open til 2:00AM on weekends! read more

Forget that this place is the only bar in town. Who cares if there is hardly any place to sit and it is load as hell on a friday night and that they only play country music. This is one of the best damn bars I have ever been to. Yes it is a bit of a dive bar compared to the bars I am used to in Denver but the beer is ice cold and cheap and you will never have a burger like the green chili burger they serve at Kelley's. I fell head over heals in love with Kelley's Bar & Grill because of that Green Chili burger. The perfect amount of spice, the perfect temperature of the meat and oh so juicy and moist. It was hands down in my top 10 best burgers of my entire life. If you are looking for an inexpensive and down right good meal with an ice cold beer then Kelley's is your spot! read more

We went here to shoot some pool and drink a couple beers on a Saturday evening. We were a little skeptical since a lot of the reviews talked about bad service and sometimes attracting a rough crowd. Our experience did not reflect what the reviews warned about. The waitress immediately came over to the pool tables and too our drink orders. The three pool tables were in good shape for a bar, although the cue selection was pretty bad. After playing pool we sat down and order a couple burgers. Once again, the waitress was prompt, our food came quickly, and the burgers were rather good. It was a pleasant surprise and I would grab a beer here again if I didn't live 1,200 miles away. read more

If you live in Clovis long enough you come to expect crummy service from everyone. Kelly's is no different. It was not an incredibly busy Weds night, but it still took them 20 min to clean off our table, after we sat down at it. I tried to order the avocado, bacon Swiss burger. The waitress asked if I wanted mushrooms. I said sure, and she brought me the mushroom Swiss burger instead. My friend ordered a glass of Pinot, and she received a glass of champagne (which wasn't even on their wine menu). My wife wanted water and it took some prooding of the waitress to bring her water. The food itself is so-so. The bartender had really quick service and the live music wasn't deafeningly loud, but the other gaffes with underachieving food more than outweigh these lone two positives. read more

We were completely blown away by this small town bar that was known to be the best entertainment in Clovis! It was a pleasant surprise to hear the very talented country singers on our friday night out. read more

Kelley's Bar & Grill - Great live country music. - Sports Bars Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

Wouldn't even give one star horrible place to stop by. Be warned if you are an outsider coming in they are going to treat you exactly like that, they use intimidation tactics. I was working in Clovis from out of state and stopped by to check the place out. I was kicked out simply because I didn't look like them I was wearing a flat brim hat and some nice clothes and they were all cowboys you get the picture! And because a lady in there was giving me some attention the worker "guys" did not like that at all and all of sudden they told me I had to go I was so confused at what I did wrong until I realized it when I left! And then the second time coming into your shit bar a few months later when I was In Clovis for work again. "It was literally the only place to get a drink in that town" I brought my buddy with me only this time I didn't get kicked out"because I didn't wear a hat of course" but my buddy got kicked out and yep you guessed it he was wearing a hat place is a joke and they are super judgmental with not very good drinks or customer service wish I could give y'all minus 5 stars! Hope your owner reads this because this place needs some serious adjustments ASAP! read more

Yes, Kelly's is the only bar in Clovis. But not the only place you can drink and get a decent meal. But if you had to eat at Kelly's. I would recommend 2 steaks for 1 on Tuesday. Not only did the steaks get bigger but they are juicy and delicious. The steak also comes with a salad and baked potato. Not bad at all. If your just wanting a snack with your drinking. Then the sampler plate is an easy choice. The music and night scene is more Country Music and less hip hop or dub step dancing. Still the only bar, so enjoy while this is still around. I gave the bar 3 stars because it's as average as it gets for New Mexico. Plus the fact that there is no jukebox or doors on the bathroom stalls hurt the score for me. You can smoke outside in the covered Patio. Plus they don't mind the use of electronic cigarettes inside. read more

Kelley's Bar & Grill - Dance floor from the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

What a huge disappointment! Ordered gin and tonic but barely tasted any gin. Our drink came in a tall drinking glass - not the normal shorter one which I assume is why we could not taste the gin. There were no limes with the drink so had to ask for some. Asked bartender to add some gin but was told the amount she put in was what she was told to do. Then we ordered Alfredo chicken pasta and pasta verde pasta - totally tasteless and the chicken was very fatty and was inedible. The salad was a big lump of iceberg lettuce with ONE grape tomato and ONE banana pepper. Garlic bread was on some kind of bread that looked like a hotdog bun - definitely not French bread. We had always gone to this bar over many years when we were in town and loved the gin and tonics and food but will never go back again. How sad since this is the only bar in town and could be a great place to go. Reading the other reviews confirms our experience. read more

Kelley's passes muster as the only late-night spot for mAcrobrew, like Miller Lite, and apps, like fries, with friends. You really have to leave your pretentious expectations at the door if you are like me and have moved here from cities that spoiled you with mixologist creations, craft beer on tap, and gastropub dining. You won't find that anywhere near Clovis. I have come to learn that liquor licensing and bar type establishments are highly regulated in this state. I think most people accept this average farmtown dive as the best they can get. It is a lively scene with a nice crowd. I had a good time chatting, watching people sing karaoke, and line dancing. read more

Went there on a Tuesday night at 9:00pm following a late business meeting. The place was very quiet. However the beer was extremely cold and the food was delicious.i understand there are no owners. GOOD LUCK to them. read more

Went here Friday night with friends to play some pool. Arrived around 945 didn't have a single waitress come to the pool area to ask if we wanted any drinks. One waitress was talking to some customers completely ignoring us at our table. Finally got another waitress attention and she got 2 out of 3 drinks wrong. This bar does not know what a Vodka and Soda is(I got a vodka and coke). Many waitress just standing around not trying to help customers. There was one attentive waitress in the entire place. A girl dropped a drink and broke a glass on the table and none of the employees reacted(the bouncer were standing right next to the table when it happened) we had to go get our own rags to clean the table from the bar. This place is the worst only reason it does business is because there is no where else to go l. read more

I was asked to leave on my 21st birthday because my ID was vertical and not horizontal. I will never return to Kelleys.

It's a dive bar. The food is not that bad for bar food. The atmosphere is ok till about 1030 pm. Then a lot of weird trash start to show up. All in all it is not bad. A small bar in a small town. read more

Literally the only bar in town that isnt primarily a restaurant. They ridiculously. Harge a cover pretty much every day even though they are dead til 10 and don't have a live band. read more

Adam was a great bar keep: affable and a quick pour. This would be a 5 star rating if we hadn't been subjected to a demanding and rude waitress. She interrupted our order at the bar to place her own order, and twice after made rude appearances at the bar with orders. She had a major attitude and one customer actually left because she made things so uncomfortable. Pretty sure her name is Erin. read more

Stevie is an awesome waitress. She's friendly and charming. Thank you for being an attentive hostess.

It's a bar that serves up some pretty decent food. Was blown away by their green chili cheeseburgers and french fries. Not a bad place to go for lunch or after work. They have mostly domestic beers on tap, but they are cold and tasty. They just got Sam Adams Boston Lager on tap! Seniors and Military discounts. read more

Great food here. Our service was excellent in the afternoon when there weren't many people there. Live music

I was spending a couple weeks in Clovis and was looking for a good bar that I could get a bite at after work Friday Night. Well as luck would have it, they were having a prime rib special. A small (8oz) prime with a baked potato, salad and biscuit for something like $15. The potato was very good, loaded proper with all the fixings, and the steak, while small, was very flavorful. I got to enjoy a beer while watching some very interesting dancing, and even got invited by a young lady to dance myself. For being the only bar in town, it does it well. read more

Food, average, but priced accordingly. Service was excellent.

Came at 2pm on a Saturday for a Bloody Mary, a burger and a beer. The Bloody Mary was absolutely horrible, couldn't take more than a sip. The service was actually good, bartenders were professional and friendly. Food was ok, the burger was cooked medium and the mushrooms on the burger were from a can pretty sure. Overall, not a place I would visit for food, but the beer was alright. read more
