An employee was racist. Wouldn’t let my Asian friend in when she showed him her ID because he assumed she took another Asian’s ID. My friend was like “so you think all Asians look the same?” That employee was offended and refused her entry even when both passports were shown

I didn’t even go but I was so upset to hear they had cover on a Monday during Senior Week and only had two bartenders working

I just hosted a private event here for graduation. Angie, Cordelia and all of the staff were fantastic-professional, attentive and kind. The food and organization of the event were right on target! This is my second graduation event at Kelly’s and both went off perfectly. Comments from attendees included…”best night ever”, “so well organized”, “staff was incredibly helpful”…thank you for an incredible event that we will remember forever!
The best Nova bar on 1989 and still the best in 2023!!!

Only went for soda. Not well carbonated and the floor was sticky.

I've been to Kelly's many times over the past several years, and its been on a downhill slide for the past two for myself and many of my friends. From a bouncer (who still works there) dragging a drunk kid down an entire staircase like a ragdoll, to an overly assertive bartender who has gotten physical with a friend of mine, to an owner who I witnessed getting aggressive with someone who he claimed to be underage and grabbing his drink from his hand so hard and fast he spilled it all over my girlfriend. Kelly's is only still open and able to charge a $5 cover because it's the largest and closest bar to Villanova.
