In Short
This smoky little cocktail lounge serves up big drinks and greasy burgers with a side of nostalgia. Walking through the door is like taking a step back in time, back to the era of poodle skirts and (a young) Elvis Presley. From the black-and-white checkered floor and cushy high-backed booths to the pink neon that illuminates this otherwise dim joint, Kelly's exudes a rebel-without-a-cause charm that keeps its loyal regulars coming back.

this bar is a "mini nyc." perfect, low-key place to go out. We didn't get any food but the menu looked great; the draft beer selection was original, the music was fun and eclectic. just a lively place that i'll definitely return to.

Fresh off the plane from NYC, a hard sell getting the local cab driver, Chaz, to take us to this part of town. Don't be put off: yes, you're gonna drive through some seamy hoods but fear not - you're going in the right direction and it is so worth the trip. This old school cocktail joint will not disappoint. With fab neon, vintage fixtures, hot sassy barmaids and cool crowd - you'll find equisite cocktails, killer 4-cheese macaroni and mouth watering burgers and steak fries and a post-punk-alt-country-80's-tinged duke-box which will set the tone for your third cocktail. Make the effort and you will be rewarded ten-fold. It's a $15 cab ride - 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Don't hesitate. You'll love it!
