Reviews
Loved it so much I came here twice on a trip! I needed to find a place that did Mac and Cheese well, and they delivered. Great pierogis, too! The drink selection is excellent. Each time I went there was always a space for me.
Overall cool little joint. Diner vibe with a gritty punk feel, late 20-30s crowd, warm, energetic, enjoy the ambiance. Food was fast and reasonable. Disappointed in the upcharge of $1 for pepperjack cheese on a tuna MELT. And extra .50 for one dipping sauce. Kinda ridiculous. Food was good. Mac and cheese wasn’t worth the $8 to me. Also food a little salty- at least the tuna and the mac was. Tuna sandwich came with a arugula salad and cranberries and feta so that’s awesome
Great place I loved it, it is small and dark, I like the red lights. Staff was great. I spent most of my time out on the back deck during happy hour. Great food there was this grilled cheese appetizer that came with olives, it was amazing, I have never ate that before. Happy hour had cheap drinks, libations all a around. Would definitely go back!!!
The food was super disappointing. We had a burger on our ticket that was ordered medium rare and was burnt to hell and back. The mac and cheese was dry and burnt. Not at all what I was expecting after everyone hyped up the mac and cheese. We could’ve made better food at home and from now on we will.
I've been going to Kelly's for nearly 20 years. It's one of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh. It's one of the last great dives with great music playing all night. Good bar food. Good drinks. Cool staff.
Love this place.. absolutely legendary.. recommended to my by a friend who grew up around the corner.. (the legend Alex Frank) and I can’t say enough good things.. was just traveling through town and stopped by but the staff was great and the atmosphere electric, the drinks were normal drinks that you get at a good bar which is exactly what you should want.. no $15 cocktails.. just classic good stuff.. didn’t have the food because I had just eaten but it also looks good
If you’re a minority in Pittsburgh — black, queer, or even just a woman — this is one of the few fun bars that hasn’t been ruined by rainbow capitalism. The vibe is unapologetically authentic. Food is great compared to most bars; drinks are some of the best bang for buck in the entire city. Seriously, good luck finding another place with as good drinks competitively priced. Give it a go.
You cannot beat the prices and the consistently good food! Some of the best mac and cheese/appetizers in the city! This place has definitely been a lifesaver, especially since everywhere in Pittsburgh closes by 8 pm.. though the service can be slow, it is a small business with short staffing. Its something to consider if your in a rush lol
