Hey Folks, Welcome to Kelly's Irish Pub in in the middle of Flushing's Chinatown. Eat first before you come.. just booze no Grub at Kelly's Pub. ( bring a couple pizzas in with you.. you'll make friends fast) Pulling up a stool, I thought I had been thrown back in time 50 years. I loved it. It's cash only here.. Take your cash out and put it on the bar just like your old man taught you. Your credit card won't go far here. The vibe was old woodgrain, old booze and even older men. Just like the places my daddy and grandpa would go drinking. Dimly lit by the Mets baseball neon sign in the front window.. it was like the bar should have said..BIG JIM is welcome here. Old man Irish dive bars were among the first places that I ever went drinking. No one checked your ID back in the day and your old man was at the bar drinking anyway. I felt like I was home. Kelly's has a dart board and you don't have to look away to see the game the TV is mounted right over the dartboard. I believe that hitting the TV with a dart would not be good here. This is the only place that you will find a nice tall cold long neck bottle of Bud for $4. Definitely, this is the place to relax with friends in Flushing and not have to use your Mandarin. Johnny at the bar was a friend of mine.. and suggested that Jagermeister would be the drink of choice. It sure was. This deliciously chilled liquor paired well with the cold Budweisers in the Glass bottles. We finished the first bottle quickly and had to open another. Yelp tip of the day ..! Always buy the bartender drinks at the Irish bar you will not be sorry later. It got a little drunk out that night. This is where Kelly's Pub picks up that final 5th Star, it's only a five minute walk from my apartment. Since the closing of the Roosevelt sports bar down the road. ... It's now one of the only games in town. If anyone knows another cool old dive like this in Flushing please let me know. Old well dear friends, you know it's getting close to closing time when most of the patrons are passed out on the bar. Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed. And the Mets kicked ass tonite. Knocked in a franchise-record score of.. 24 to 4 !! What is this FOOTBALL ? Let's raise a toast to our Mets here in Flushing! In the shadow of Citi Field, a quick walk from Kelly's Pub. read more
