Small neighborhood bar that delivered BIG for a graduation party! My son had his grad party at his local bar- and what a great selection he made. Colleen the owner was organized and a pleasure to work with, she helped us organize everything so it was perfect! We offered a buffet of Colleens most populate appetizers, and they were devoured! Carol was behind the bar keeping up and slinging drinks with humor. The size and flow of the bar was perfect for celebration. It was an amazing event and I cannot thank Kelly's Korner enough for opening their door to us! read more

great food awesome bartenders and cash only! love the atmosphere here!!!! wings are great the burgers are good too!

I've said this before about other dive bars, if there were to be a book written on local dives (something as a journalist I've thought of doing for years) this place would definitely deserve a chapter in it. Locals of Irish descent and others congregate at this quaint dive for reasonably priced drinks, spirits, stories, and friendship. Customers and staff welcome all with open arms and smiles. Put this on your to-do list! read more

Great neighborhood bar that is beautifully updated on the inside. Huge TVs. Best place in town to go to watch a Steelers game. They treat you like family even if it's your first time there. I haven't eaten there yet, but friends say the wings are good. read more

It's a bar. It's a dive bar. It's a ton of fun. Drink. The menu is limited to bar food. The music is always good. read more

I finally stopped into this blatantly obvious dive bar nestled within Lawrenceville after years of passing by it on my way down to Butler Street. I knew before even walking in that I was going to have a good time. Very Irish. Very Pittsburgh. Very fun. And they serve free popcorn! A friend and I came in, pretty much took over the upper area to play darts for a couple of hours. The drinks are relatively cheap (although I was hoping for cheaper), the bartenders and regulars were very nice. The bar is CASH ONLY, but they do have an ATM in the bar. When the ATM machine didn't hand me out the cash I requested, the owner came right over and said he would call the repairman right away- however, it spit out the money on the second try. I'll definitely stop in again soon. read more

Stumbled upon this place during a trip to Pittsburgh. Our air bnb was literally feet from the place so we became regulars for a week. This is a cozy, friendly neighborhood joint with lots of character. I'd call it a dive, but it's more than just that. It's neighbors getting together to socialize and have a good time. They were so welcoming to us out-of-towners. Do yourself a favor and check it out! Play some pinball, eat some popcorn, make new friends and drink some cold beer! One disclaimer - you can smoke inside but when it's nice out the door is open and you get a nice breeze. read more

It doesn't get much more Pittsburgh than this. Cash-only neighborhood bar where the locals mingle with students. Great atmosphere & good prices. read more

Fantastic local hole in the wall/neighborhood dive bar! I would love to be there during a Pittsburgh sports event because you know it will be riled up yinzer city and I definitely want to witness that! The owner was there when we were and her daughter was bartending - they are both so sweet and funny and provided amazing insight and customer service. The drinks are crazy cheap, the popcorn is warm and the crowd is super welcoming. There's also a shot ski and we were lucky enough to get in on that with the owner! I can't wait to come back. So fun! read more

This place is a great example of an awesome dive bar... My only problem was that I ordered my cheeseburger the person who is making it didn't wash her hands. She went from the bar straight to the kitchen!! Would come back for beer drinking, but not food... read more

Bars like this are why Pittsburgh is a neat town.

One of the best places to drink in the city. Great prices and atmosphere

Not a bad spot, but it is cash only. Decent selection, great prices. Food sucks, but tastes good after a night of drinking. Basically it's a cool place to hang out with your friends...but it's very much a dive. I like that kind of bar, but if you don't -- this is not the place for you! read more

Best bar in this fair city. Old school. Fantastic bartenders, generous pours, great wings, unbelievably fair prices, and colorful regulars that include representatives of many the city's heterogeneous demographic groups (e.g., young & old; black, white, asian, &/or hispanic; straight & gay; retirees, college kids, scrap haulers, attorneys, construction workers, university professors, garbage men, engineers). Quality of the experience gets even better once the bartenders and regulars get to know you. Stop in if you want to try to experience a Pittsburgh neighborhood bar of the sort that existed when Pittsburgh steel was king. read more

This is as ideal as a dive bar gets. Great atmosphere to watch sports and all of the neighborhood people/regulars are SUPER friendly and welcoming. Within 2 minutes of being there you'll feel like you are watching the game in someone's living room and I mean that in the best possible way. Bartenders are super on the ball and have great service. Haven't tried the food yet but everything I have seen looks good. Places like this are what makes Pittsburgh unique. read more
