Want a good cheap drink? Want to escape the typical la pretentiousness? Want to drink with laid back people who arent the typical judgmental LA types? THIS IS YOUR SPOT! Took me years to find a bar worth my time of wanting to get away from the typical LA douche-baggery and this is it. It's small and cozy where people learn your name quick. Bartenders and owner are great and friendly! Only place I'll go to drink! I've been to bars in Europe and in 25 different states and this is DEFINITELY one of my favorites. read more

The best night to come to this bar is on Wednesdays. There is a dj that shows up around 10pm and plays a good variety of music. Whatever you are into, he will get you covered. The drinks are reasonable, but there is only one bartender. So when you need a drink, get a few so you don't have to wait for too long. It does get crowded but with chilled people who wanna have a good time. This is a cool little bar to kick it on hump days. read more

Went to have a drink and listen to music on a rainy day, put $20 in the jukebox and the power goes down. We tried to get our money back and the owner said "$20 ain't nothing to me" so we never got it back!! Horrible customer service!! Owner don't give a shit about his people, just the money! read more

The drinks here are expensive for what you get. The bartender doesn't even know the recipe to half of the drinks half of the time. This place is very quiet, and a bunch of strange people go here. The beers are cheap, but why go to a bar to drink a beer? read more

My experience at Kelly's has been positive each time I have been there. Especially , Monica (the teacher/world traveler) and Angelica (the dreamer) servers. read more

I don't see what the big deal is about this bar. Maybe I went on the wrong night. I went last night (Friday) and I can't believe they only have one bartender there! My friend ordered a drink and she waited about 10 minutes to get her drink. The drinks are cheap but they are weak! You see the girl bartender water it down! The crowd there is ghetto too. The place is too chill for me and small. read more

great prices on drinks and great staff. if you're looking for a place where you can prove you're a douche, this isn't the place for you. this is a GREAT dive bar through and through. read more

Ok came here on a Wednesday night to finish the night... man i was surprised at the crowd i saw....(ghetto fabulous) lol... They even managed to squeeze a dj in there?! He had the cholos throwing there elbows side to side... haha. This use to be the spot few years back on thurs.... and the crowd with a lil better lookin too... Oh yea before i forget... The bartender sucked, she got attitude because we didn't want to take an open beer bottle she pulled from the fridge...no thanks don't know what could be in that bottle! and to the owner, It wouldn't hurt to have more then one bartendar on your crowded nights! read more

this bar sucks plain and simple, its too small, and only one bartender, dont waste ur time here people.

Angelica is by far the most professional bar tender I've ever encountered, so down to earth, sweet, funny, and just a wonderful host! Definitely coming back. She's a day bar tender btw. Thank you Angelica for your great service! read more

I use to go to Kelly's years ago and it was a good spot to hang out and drink....but when I recently went to my surprise it has changed so much. There was like 4 people there "all locals" and to top it off the bartender gave us very bad customer service. I would never go back to this pub again. So if you want to go to an "empty bar" and receive bad service...this is definitely the spot for you. read more

Cool little chill bar to relax after work if you don't want to deal with your typical bimbos and meatheads....but like any other bar it has its flaws, but none that prevent me from coming back, even after 1.5 yr since I started going. It may get hot when it gets a little crowded and it's a cash only bar (so bring a few bills), but nothing to cry over . There is one pool table and your choice of music can be played through an internet jukebox with DJ on Wed, Sat, Sun. You'd never really find the bar way over crowded where you'd be bumping elbows with people, with the exception of St. Patty's day, Drink prices are the best, so unless you complain about a $3 bottle or a $5 mix drink, then you shouldn't really be at a bar wasting your money, and yes after it gets extremely busy they do use plastic cups, but who cares a cup is a cup. Best time's when Cori is there, she's a chill bartender and one of the best and so are most of the regulars. read more

ehhh once again the restrooms are gross.... place looks a bit better since they painted the outside.... the inside is whatever...cant complain, i know its a dive bar.... bartender is ok, nothing special, dont like her attitude..... only good thing is it has a pool table, price on beer is ok read more

Where do I start? This place is a hole in the wall. First of all the service sucks. I came here a few nights ago for the first time, and I will never come back. They only had one bartender. She was so rude and acted like her crap didn't stink. I was told her name is Jennifer. I must have stood there for half an hour before she came and took my drink order. Then my drinks came in plastic cups! Really plastic cups????? So I go to pay and I hand over my credit card, Sorry this is a cash only joint. Again, Really???? It's freaking 2012 and you don't take credit cards... Says a lot about this place. So then this Jennifer girl points me to an ATM. The ATM says it charges $3.00 to pull out cash. I checked my bank statement this morning and they charged $5.00. This was not bank fees it was charged by Kelleys Tavern. So I payed her and left a two dollar tip (I felt she deserved less). This girl has the nerve to look at me and roll her eyes. All I have to say is if your that ugly on the out side, I can just imagine how ugly you are on the inside. They had a DJ. the music was pretty cool. A mixture of old school Rap and some new Hip Hop. Some Flashbacks and Spanish too. Their were a few girls dancing and one guy that looked like a "Cholo" doing the "C-Walk" all night. At least this paragraph is positive. The security here is a joke. What I am about to say is absolutely true. I would not lie, slander or make something like this up. One of the three asked me if I wanted to buy coke. Come on, it was my first time here. I've never seed this guy before. At that point I realized I had to go. My girl and I were couldn't believe it. This bar is not for me. Some people looked like they were having fun. I was in a group of about 10 and it was okay but the service sucked. some of us spent more time trying to get a drink then actually hanging out with our friends. Plus waking up this morning and finding out I got ripped off at the ATM was not cool at all. read more
