Small place with pub food and a pool table, but apparently caters to the gamblers. I met a friend here for the first time, and while the server was nice, she insisted I needed a double shot. The butterfly shrimp was tasty, but the sauce, not so much. We thought we'd play a few games of pool, but there was an obnoxious and very loud guy gambling and yelling across the place, so we left. read more

Stumbled on to this place on a cloudy Saturday afternoon and got a stool at the bar and ended up staying all night. outstanding locals fun and full of opinions, a sassy barkeep that kept the glass full and explained the ridiculously low priced menu perfectly. The food was top shelf all the way and left overs were boxed and ready to go without asking. there are plenty of screens, games in the back, a porch, and the bathrooms were cleaner than most people's back home. this place has the perfect vibe and decor like your favorite crazy uncle's basement bar. Great parking and easy access for Uber - this place is a Salem treasure if you ask me and will be a not miss destination every time I am in town. read more

Shari is amazing and her service is impeccable!! It's truly the best bar in the Salem area read more

My partner and I were looking for a new bar in Salem and came across the rave reviews for Kelli's. Trust me those reviews are correct! I'm not certain what the names were of our two waitresses, but both were friendly and fun. Our food was phenomenal (pizza -- try the pizza!!) and our drinks were exceptional. Also, the $1 jello shots are greatly appreciated! I'm so happy we decided to try Kelli's out and can't wait to be back in the near future. read more

Love this place. Very friendly and great food. Egg rolls here are better then any other egg roll in town. If you are around the area. Stop by and order the eggs rolls. read more

Our favorite neighborhood dive bar!, mish, lacey, phani and the cooks are all great to there customers. Drinks are strong and affordable. The pizza dough and marinara are house made. The hand tossed pizzas are the best in Salem for the price point.lots of locals make you feel welcome, it's just a real comfortable place even for new customers, everyone treated like family. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The food is excellent. The place is clean! Even the floors. The price for a cheese burger was $5.95 and fried were $.50 more. The really impressive part was that it was real fresh ground meet. Not those frozen preformed patty's and the beef alone was delicious. The tater tots were super crispy and not at all greasy. The person serving was super sweet. It was a great experience. I'll definitely be going back. I'm excited to try many things on their menu. Greatest neighborhood bar I've ever been in. read more

Amazing Food ..Great Staff...I always enjoy coming here...I always feel so welcome..and the SERVICE IS GREAT...

I was almost murdered here, and I've heard from s friend it happened to him also. Do not go to Kelly's if you value your life. I was attacked, beaten and strangulated, and when I asked to use the phone to call 911, I was put out on the street and the door locked. I had to walk to the hospital, bloody, and disoriented from the stangulation. I had amnesia for a few days. I was a regular customer for 10 years or more before this happened to me. read more

I used to live right down the road to this place Kelli's, and I rode my bike there nearly everyday. The bar tenders are pretty nice, the food is awesome. I would recommend. This place. read more

Great neighborhood bar just wished we lived in the neighborhood. We found this place through Yelp and the reviews were right on. The drinks were more than reasonably priced and the food was fresh and tasty. My husband had the French dip while I tripped their personal pizza. Their pizza dough is made onsite and was perfectly crunch and soft at the same time. My husbands sandwich was tasty and the fries were crispy. Our server and owner Cherry was adorably attentive and personable making us feel as if we were old friends. Love this neighborhood bar just wish it were closer in our neighborhood. Definitely worth your time if you are. read more

Kelli's is delicious, cheap, and clean! Seriously. The crossaint sandwiches are so good. Also, you wouldn't know it by walking in but they have some of the best pizza in town. Highly recommended. They also pour their drinks pretty heavy with the liquor. Always friendly. Always a good experience. If you plan to have more than a few drinks be sure to have a DD!! I'll update this review with pictures next time I am there. read more

Moved to a new town, a new neighborhood, new job, time to find a new walkable hangout place. Mission accomplished. Kelli's fits the bill, small, cozy, unpretentious, lots of local, super attentive staff, plenty of monitors for watching a game if you are into sports, drinks are super cheap and heavily poured. Stone IPA is $3.50 a pint all the time, if you want more mass marketed macro stuff, PBR pints only $1.75. Standard tavern menu with sandwiches, burgers, etc, but also have homemade pizza and Stromboli. Tried the Stromboli on this venture and it was super, great dough, filled with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and opinions with a nicely flavorful sauce on the side. Might have to pick oa Kelli's night and make it a weekly tradition. read more

My partner and I ducked in here one afternoon while needing to kill a bit of time. We saw a tempting message on the daily specials board describing well drinks for happy hour, "tall and stiff"! My kind of daily special. We each had a tall whiskey, stuck around long enough for another round, and our bill came in under $10. This is a delightful little lottery dive, and as far as bar food, it's all on the menu -- also incredibly low-priced. Minus one star for the dirty-ish glass I was given. But I'm not gonna lie, I'll totally be back. read more

Friendly and quick service. Good prices and the best dive bar food you could ask for :) The pizza is a must try! read more

The new cook they have(Anthony) is a great cook. Makes your food exactly as you ask for it.

I go here often. It has a cool and comfortable atmosphere. The staff seem friendly and always make sure were taken care of! Edit: Still so pleased with this place! I go here regularly and am always treated with amazing service! The food is DELICIOUS and so so cheap! It's fresh and tasty every time we go in. Not one bad experience. Love the staff, friendly and personable. This is one of our go-tos any time of the week! read more

Great little place, owned and run by a cute older couple. Has a screened little outdoor patio, cheap (stiff) drinks and great food! Even when it's not happy hour the prices are good. 6 bucks for two strong well drinks?? Can't beat that! Always a great place to stop in at! read more

Cherry and Chet are the best , reminds me of the old TV show Cheers where everyone knows your name ;-) they always welcome you by name when you come and with a big smile! They always make you feel at home! The stromboli and pizza are A+++ read more

My go to bar thee only one!!!! the pizza is bomb so are the wings and the staff is very friendly

Cherry the bartender / owner is super nice and funny. The food is good and so are the drinks

Very cool dive bar. Great atmosphere and beer! Looking forward to the pizza. Supposed to be one of their specialties.

Great customer service, and very clean location. Bartender didn't have a huge knowledge on how to make basic drinks but she was happy to learn. She checked in on us several times and made casual conversation. Witnessed food going out several times and they looked delicious! read more

Way cheaper than Portland. Unless you like Modelo. Guy sitting at the bar watching The Scorpion King recommended the Pinot in a box. A good place to talk about Father's Day parties. read more

This bar is great! The serve good food and beer. Sports on 2 tv's and all the lottery stuff too. Last time I was there I had the combo pizza and it was great and huge for the price. I ended up taking some of it home. They could have a better selection of beer, but the have the basics and I can live with that. Cherry is a great waitress, always making sure your are happy. read more

Kelli's is my neighborhood bar. It's litterally a few blocks away and completely walkable, no drinking and driving for me! The atmosphere is small, but lively. TVs, pool table, jutebox, patio, clean bathrooms too. The pizza is really good and they have a decent beer selection and drink specials as well. Family owned, mom, dad and daughter work the place and the service is excellent. read more

This place has surprisingly good food for what kinda feels like a video pokee dive bar. But on a nice day try to find s seat on the patio. Not much bigger than a smokers corner but still nice place to sit and have a gin and tonic. Although Johnny's bar up the streat may have a more up-scale version of many of this bars features, you will get better food at a cheaper price that what Johnny's will charge you for a slapped-together FSA burger. The Heathenz will hit this joint again! ; ) read more

I went here on recommendations from yelpers. The pizza is super cheesey and and good value. The drinks are STRONG, and also a good value. Atmosphere was pretty chill. read more

It was okay. Drinks were affordable, but it was in a little bit of a sketchy neighborhood. I was with a couple friends and we only got one drink before we left. We just didn't feel super comfortable there. It seemed more like a local bar than a good pick for a visit from non-local, like myself. read more

Chery is slappingly great! Great food, strong drinks! Best combo pizza in town! Nice jukebox, can get very interesting mix of people on some nights. Been coming here for years. read more

It feels like being home but I'm at a bar! The owner is so welcoming and fun. After one visit we decided to make this our go to neighborhood bar and we've never been sorry. You have to get the Stromboli. you can taste the love it takes to get it right. And the drinks are just what you want. Affordable, strong and tasty. read more

Love this bar. Very good service and food. Small neighborhood hangout. Better prices and quality. Pizza is the BEST! read more

I cannot say they have the best pizza in town because i have not eaten at every pizza place in town. But I must say it aint bad. great place... read more

Probably one of the best pizzas I've tasted in a while !!! Staff is friendly prices are great, haven't tried any other food other than the pizza but then the pizza is all I need when I go there and if it's possible it is the only place I will go to get my pizza fix. read more

Ok,went to the RV show at the State Fairgrounds today. We got done and my wife suggested happy hour! Beings that we live 30 miles away, we had no idea where to go. My wife and I like to hit some "off the beaten trail" joints, if it's good she takes responsibility for it. If it's bad, well, you know....... Let's just say she took responsibility for this one! Great time, Jeri and her family made us feel like we had been in there a hundred times before,but we were first timers! I'll just finish out withGREAT BEER, GREAT LEMON DROP (you think, how do you screw up a lemon drop, according to my wife, it's pretty simple) we had a pizza......... Homemade dough, great sauce, lots of cheese--- it was awesome! It doesn't look like much, from outside or inside, but the service, the drinks, the family and the food. We will be looking for reasons to go back down to Salem so we can go back! Oh did I mention, the Jell-O shots? Yeah, we got those after paying the bill (instead of an after dinner mint) a little "sumptn-sumptn" for the road. Too much fun! read more
