Kelly's had a very big, local bar feel. The service was ok, not great. The bartender admitted to never having made the drink that we requested, but he at least comped it. The food was pretty good, but nothing that I'd go back for. The caprese grilled cheese had mozzarella on it that was still slightly cold, so obviously not melted at all. They do have a room upstairs for live performances, but I would try one of the other options in the area in the future.

I went there with friends for Mardi gras and had a very unsettling experience, the woman who was giving wrist bands which I was told was the manager with burgundy almost red hair was very rude passing out wrist bands saying " I'm not touching anybody" so we had to do it ourselves. Then when another patron walked up she had time to put his wrist band on mind you me and my friends are black and the patron who got their wrist band on was was white and so was she, that didn't sit well with me so I told the bartender that night and was informed the the patron was an employee but what makes him better than us that he gets proper service and we didn't. I also noticed she was picking and choosing who to put wrist bands on, a person like that doesn't need to work in hospitality if EVERYONE isn't treated equally that was very ignorant and nasty behavior.

1st floor, and second floor vibes. 2nd floor Saturday night was a dj. Music was a whole vibe. Crowded, but bearable.

Food is quite good. Reasonable selection of beers. Not too crowded. Parking a bit of an issue, but found space in nearby lot. Sweet potato fries are outstanding.

Nice local bar. Decent food options. Really good service. Can stop in to watch a game, hangout with friends or come to party on the weekend nights. A Trolley Square institution of good times.

Lauren is the best. Given her lack of help, she's amazing. Lauren even makes decaf coffee for me every Thursday! TY.
First time here recommended by a friend. It was raining so we couldn't sit outside but we're very comfortable inside. Cute place, historic. First tavern in Delaware.Our server Sara was sweet and attentive. I was hoping for traditional Irish food but it's mainly bar food. I was pleasantly surprised. Our drinks were great.We had Philly rolls, delicious. Onion rings, delicious. For entree I had fish and chips, incredible,! Hubby had the John D burger, fresh and tasty, did not need any condiments. The fries were especially delicious, skin on and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely be back with friends.I wish they had dessert.

Great local bar in a beautiful older building. A classic saloon. Only had beers with prices very reasonable, and service was quick and friendly.

We had fun BUT hubby and I overheard a bouncer cursing at one of the lady customers. She didn’t seem out of line in anyway, he just cursed her out in front of everyone and it really killed the vibes. We left shorty after. What a disgusting display of behavior by that bouncer.
