This is an old school bar, which is why I like it. If you want trendy, this is not your place. If you want to chill with regulars, have a Guinness, and relax with your friends, this is your place. Love it.

Decent whole-in-the-wall spot. Good prices and cold drinks. No food service.

Kelly’s Tavern in Bay Ridge has been holding it down since 1932—so yes, Papa Kenny, you’re in one of the oldest and most classic bars in the neighborhood, and it doesn’t get much more Brooklyn than this. Old-school Irish vibes, cheap drinks, and regulars arguing at the bar—you might as well be sitting here with Sinatra, a Mets game, and a roll of singles for the jukebox. Kelly’s is real-deal Bay Ridge, not just any old watering hole: it survived Prohibition, hosted generations of locals, showed up in “Saturday Night Fever,” and still keeps the spirit of Brooklyn alive every single day.
While there are even older bars in Brooklyn (like Teddy’s in Williamsburg, 1887), for Bay Ridge you’re smack in one of the neighborhood legends—not the newest kid, but definitely in that OG company. Raise a glass and yell, “Cheers, Papa Kenny! This is what New York feels like!”

It’s a very low key bar and the nicest people in it. The pool table is in a separate room and the music doesn’t reach there which can be great! Inside is well kept and has the look of an Irish bar that you’d expect. Beautiful wood, ceiling, stools everywhere. Bring a friend or two and sit and chat. I promise you’ll have a good time. It’s cash only but there’s an ATM on premises!

Didn't order food, bartender was good, it was a dive bar for a certain crowd ( elderly ) on this Thursday evening before the 4th of July. Would i recommend it, I would if you want a low key atmosphere.
