Kelly's Pub

Best Bar. Music fire. Food fire. Drinks fire.Frank is the best bartender in the entire Chicagoland area. He always has a smile on his face and his energy is contagious. He makes fantastic drinks... truly a one of a kind mixologist. Frank not only is a delight behind the bar, but as a person has amazing qualities. And he makes sure to keep bad energy out of the bar. We love Frank, Frank is the essence of Kelly's pub.

Stopped in a few times, but it was wonderful seeing it with a good crowd for St. Patrick's Day, especially when the neighboring bars had queues out the door. Was with my friends who were visiting, and they loved it.

From the looks of things this is an old seen better days Irish pub that can still get a crowd. It helps that it's near DePaul. Kelly's Pub brings in drunken students as well as many other local regulars. Even though it's been around a long time it still has plenty of good reasons to come in. The prices are good for most things, plenty of beers and cocktails, and plenty of greasy bar food stuff. After going around to a few museums in the area we came here. It was already kind of hopping in the afternoon, although it's a pretty small bar so it won't take much to get crowded inside. This is one of those bars that are well worn: you can tell by looks, and smell. Of course it's an Irish pub so get something Irish. There's a pretty good selection. It's about $8 for Irish whiskeys like Paddy's. The food is pretty basic though. About the usual basics for a bar. It's about $6 for tater tots. Food is mostly meaty stuff like burgers. The wings are also popular. Good place to get some Irish drinks and maybe something to eat. It has pretty good prices for around here. This place can get crazy on weekends.

Hell yea. My pub! I love the neighborhood feel of this place. Feels like you're hanging in someone's yard. The chicken wings were tasty too. A little loud with the train going by but it's part of the experience.

This is a mandatory stop on every trip I take to Chicago. It was fairly empty on a Wed night, so we got the prime corner by the front window. (I wish they had hooks under there bar for your purse, but the isn't that kind of place). NOTE TO OWNER: put them in (it is a low cost high impact improvement) - girls will love it!!!Kelly's is just a old man, classic. Chicago neighborhood joint (where, if you were a regular, "everybody knows your name")Our bartender was a doll, though I do not remember his name. I will try and ask my friend and update this review.(Other note to OWNER: - update your t-shirt styles and re-order. Note that on your hoodies - the hood covers your logo) -

If your not at Kelly's Pub, I'm confused on why you are in Lincoln park. Good summer vibes, best deals around. Great people great food what more can you want?

I had one of the worst services here, me and my sister had just turned 22 and we decided to stop by for some drinks, right when we got there some manager ( some bald headed guy) told the bartender not so serve us cause he assumed we were underage. We didn't even give them our IDs yet. We waited for 15 minutes and the bartenders literally went to everyone else except us and avoided eye contact with us. I would also like to point out that we were the only black customers there at the time. One of the worst restaurant experiences we have had

What thef*** is wrong with the lady who picks up the phone??? Horrible attitude never going there

I WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD. I never leave reviews but this is necessary. The bartenders at this bar made it a HORRIBLE experience, old guy and young guy back there, so so so rude, condensing, down right horrible. Old guy screamed at my friend, had attitude when we asked for help. I just can't believe how we were treated there. Young guy also had attitude when we asked him a simple question, they were so unhelpful. WE are never going back there again and didn't deserve the way they were treating us. I am telling everyone not to go here, based on the other reviews, it seems this is a pattern of behavior among the people that work there.

AWFUL. If i could give this place one star I would! Went to this place for the first time last night and had the WORST customer service ever. we were sitting towards the end of the bar and couldn't get the bartenders attention. my boyfriend waved at the bartender but not in a rude way. the bartender came over, but instead of taking our orders he said to never fucking wave at him again and that we should leave the bar if we don't stop doing that. we were shocked at first, we couldn't even believe a bartender would be so nasty for no reason. big bald white guy, reason enough for me to never go back.
