What People Are Saying About Kelly's Bar & Lounge

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.

awesome vibe

by Lady678

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.

blah

by mdlgrso34

rude service. very upset with how some friends of mine were recently treated there. the bartender manager is completely rude and snobby. Been here many many times. I'm not going back.

  • Pros: Cool bar
  • Cons: bad service. good luck getting a drink from a bartender

Top style bar on the outskirts of town

by mslee999

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!

  • Pros: old school flavor with new school appeal, coctail specials $4 martini tuesdays, hot sassy waitresses
  • Cons: scenic drive - but what the hell - you're not in disney now
