About Kelly's Tavern

Kelly's Tavern is a classic Irish American bar and Belmar institution known for its exceptional corned beef sandwiches, unbeatable Reuben, and crispy fish & chips. The staff is often praised for their friendliness and responsiveness, although experiences can vary. While it can get loud, the atmosphere remains lively and enjoyable, enhanced by ceiling paintings and walls that tell a story. Parking can be tight on weekends. The tavern is a must-stop for those going down the shore, offering great bar food and drink specials, making it one of the best local taverns in the area. Regulars enjoy the Irish favorites like corned beef and draft beer, while non-alcoholic options like Heineken n/a are also available. Many customers return for the fun, including popular BINGO nights. The interior decorating hasn’t changed in 50 years, adding to its charm, even if some visitors have noted occasional issues with service. Despite mixed reviews, Kelly's Tavern remains a great spot for food or drinks.
