In town for an occasion, stopped in here with some buddies. Absolute gem of an establishment. The bartenders are A+, the place is clean as a whistle, baseball games on the TV, and best of all, every single one of us left drunk and with a full stomach for less than $30. read more

If your staying at the PHI Airport and don't want to drive into the city but want an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, this is your place. A place where the locals go. Also, maybe the best Guinness on tap I've ever had. Fair prices and great atmosphere. Small corner local place. Very cool. read more

Current Owner is the daughter of the Mr. Kelly (RIP) & is a Pretty Irish American Gal (Former Phillies Ball girl) that runs a cool & decent blue-collar pub on 19029! Erin's (Owner) fine "pub grub" is "Good to Go" & I enjoyed the great crab bisque soup, and Her cheeseburgers are the BEST!! All Good @ Erin's Fine Irish American Establishment!! read more

Clean neighborhood corner pub minutes from the airport. The staff is nice and the owner and cook (sometimes the owner is the only cook) are usually whipping up daily food specials from scratch. There are TV's above and around the bar and good music is usually playing over the speakers. I've been there on multiple occasions when their tap lines were being cleaned and have also noticed bartenders sanitizing and cleaning. They also decorate the inside for holidays to show some festive spirit. It's great to see an ownership and staff take pride in their appearance and brighten up the atmosphere! It had been years since I had a bite here, but for the last several month's I've explored the lunch menu and have enjoyed each experience. The menu has your typical bar staples (sandwiches, wings, burgers etc.) and some pub entrees (fish and chips, crab cake, steamed clams, shepherds pie to name a few). The food portions are big, prices are great and the ingredients are fresh. Some recent favorites have included the crab bisque soup (legit and made in house daily), firecracker shrimp (on their own as an app, on a salad or in tacos) and wings. Taco Tuesday will get you chicken or beef taco's for $2 each, fish tacos for $2.50 and their delicious firecracker shrimp tacos are 3 for $15. Wings Wednesdays are $6 for around 8 wings in house and $8 to go. The wing sauces I've tried so far have all been good. It's nice to have a friendly spot around the corner that is committed to cleanliness, consistency and a solid pub offering. Thanks guys! read more

Amazing! We are staying at the delta and their restaurant was looking pretty crummy, a quite uber down to Kelly's Corner and we had a great dinner and a few beers. The cheesesteak eggrolls and wings were both greats it's a small place, the prices were reasonable and the service was quick and polite. I'd visit again if in the area. read more

We had an overnight in PHL due to a delayed flight and stayed at the DELTA hotel. We wanted a place to eat nearby that wasn't hotel food and stumbled on Kelly's Corner. LOVED IT! We had delicious Philly cheesesteaks, great beer, all the sports on numerous TVS, super nice bartender and made a new local friend named Tee. Great vibe , really cozy environment- it's a really cool local bar that has great food. What more could you want? read more

Stayed around the corner and was looking for a local place. Kelly's Corner was awesome! Philly Cheesesteak and Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls were amazing. And best Guinness draft ever!!! read more

Classic friendly corner bar. Meaty crab cake sandwich did not disappoint. Breaded chicken sandwich with overcooked. Egg rolls were greasy. Homemade chips were so so. read more

What a great late night dinner! I got the wings and they were awesome with the buffalo sauce! Liked the recommendation by the bar keeper! Last time I had the Cheesesteak and it was delicious! read more

Traveling through for the Philly airport Tuesday 12:9/25 8pm. Sat at the bar for about 5 minutes while the bar tender clearly ignored me. Left to find somewhere else. read more

I probably just hit it on the wrong night. 5 or so of the 7+ taps were out so I was down to 3 options of draft beer....not a good start then was told they were out of wings! This was around 6pm so I was surprised of the lack of options so early. Also requested a side of ranch an stated they didn't have any (not sure if that meant they were out or just didn't have any). Somehow halfway through the meal a side of ranch showed up (guess they found some in the back somewhere....IDK). Burger was good. Bartender (Kim), I assumed was her name as it's was on my receipt, wasn't the friendliest person in the world....not unpleasant, just not that chipper. Definitely a 'locals' type of pub with the regulars playing bizarre music from the TouchTunes jukebox. read more

One of the best, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches I have ever had! Starts out on a fresh roll, and then piled inside is perfectly cooked and thinly sliced steak (no grizzle), smothered with cheese and packed with peppers. I got everything the way it was supposed to come minus the onions. I'm not a big onion person. Every bite was fantastic. I could only eat half so the other half will be this evening's dinner. Rather than french fries, I went with their homemade chips... outstanding! Crispy, fresh, with just a dash of salt. The house salad was fantastic. Very large, loaded with fresh lettuce, peppers, carrots, tomato, and broccoli! Who puts broccoli in a salad? Well, they did and it was awesome. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Stumbled upon this place looking for some good wings. Well this place did not disappoint!! The traditional buffalo wings were fantastic. I proceeded to ask for a recommendation from the grill. I was steered toward the pork sandwich, which was one of the best I've ever had. Just the right amount of heat. I had to try the soup as they are homemade and made everyday. The chicken vegetable soup was incredible and if it were socially acceptable, I would have licked the bowl!! Though I was already full, I had to try the Philly egg rolls. Again, they did not disappoint. Looking forward to my next trip to Philly just to stop back in and try more of the menu. Don't be discouraged as there is really nothing around this place to do but definitely stop in for lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I was stuck at my hotel, now I'm stuck here. Lol. Great little watering hole, great music, great ambiance. I ordered the wings and house salad. House salad was HUGE - like Elaine Benes from Seinfeld big. Lol. The wings were insanely good. Buffalo w plenty of sauce and blue cheese dip! Salad coulda used a second cup of dressing, but meh. Whatever. Bartenders were SUPER friendly and personable and attentive. Totally feels like a local hangout w great food, service, and atmosphere. Go there! read more

Kelly's Corner - Bar front seating - Sports Bars Near Me - Lester, Pennsylvania

Fun corner bar with great food and service. Loved the wings and nachos. Will definitely be back

I sat outside on this beautiful fall day enjoying the welcoming of the staff of Kelly's Corner pub. It's clear these folks know how to be friendly and welcoming to their customers; I can only imagine what an awesome place this must be during what we now are calling normal times. To add to the realities of the times we're in as we are waiting to be served Philadelphia news was reporting about new shutdowns of restaurants, businesses, and the entire city because the covid numbers are up. Kudos to city leadership who are courageous as they take out the essential responsibility of government, which is to protect its citizens. With winter approaching, I could only think of the dramatic impact that increasing numbers of individuals with Corona virus will have on a great corner restaurant like this one. It is truly a shame that there are still people thinking they could socially interact with each other and discard masks that protect all of us. Shame on you and it's your fault that these businesses are suffering. Enough with the editorial commentary. Within this simple menu are multiple tempting classic pub options. I frankly was leading towards the cheesesteak egg rolls but for some reason they pulled pork on brioche with long hots and provolone was calling my name. My lunch partner spotted the crab bisque and made what our waiter called an excellent choice in choosing the old Bay fries as a side; I was assured I would be able to share in them. The outdoor seating area is equipped with heating units that were not needed today. It's a pleasant tented area just outside the main pub. There is a television set, which is how we were learning of the news of additional shutdowns to protect the citizens of the area. I spotted the waiter juggling the bisque and my platter and I just smiled because it looks so good. He was smart not to attempt to bring the fries at the same time and laughed about it. The brioche roll was shiny bright with pork leaking out the sides and just a sense of the melted cheese underneath. Even though the crab bisque looked amazingly delicious I wasn't able to get a photo because my dining partner immediately started to enjoy that delicious soup. My first bite into my pork sandwich was delightful as I tasted the long hots, the perfectly cooked pork, the cheese, and the bread; juicy joy in a sandwich. Now the old Bay fries had two aspects to him. The most important part was these were hot and perfectly fried french fries. The outside crisp surrounded a puffy interior softness that was like ahhhh. These fries were an example of how every pub, diner, and restaurant should make fries. But, and this was not enough to lower the rating ... The old Bay Seasoning was a light touch. It seems that whoever held the Old Bay seasoning was keeping some themselves or perhaps the bay had dried up and not offered up enough seasoning for Kelly's to coat the fries adequately. Still, these french fries didn't need ketchup nor vinegar nor any other coating although I will admit I spotted my dining partner dipping the fries into the bisque allowing the old bay seasoning to add to the sea side taste of the bisque. My fingers are crossed that these fine folks make it through the winter because I want to come back and have another delicious sandwich. read more

Only had some drinks. Great prices, especially being near the airport. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Felt like a nice, local dive bar. read more

Great little neighborhood bar. Service was great and the wings were cooked perfect. Naked hot honey hit the spot. Decent beer selection and overall pretty clean. The bathroom was exactly what you would expect in a dive bar except with a stickier floor. If I'm in the area I would definitely come back. I was really digging the old school feel. In an odd way you can feel the history here. read more

Great environment, great food and great service. kelly the owner is great. Highly recommend.

using the yelp app to find a promised house philly cheesesteak near hotel... This corner pub looked good and it was close. My wife and I drive over and walked into this little neighborhood corner pub. Trusting the reviews we ordered the promise sandwiches ( family arriving at hotel ) and sat down at bar and had drinks. The regulars sitting at bar were great, struck up conversation right away and made us feel welcome. Now for the sandwich, finely shaved steak, melted cheese, peppers, onions snd mushrooms, all blended together with ever bite! Bonus homemade chips! thanks folks, great start to our weekend visit to see Lacrosse championships. read more

Kelly's Corner - Philly cheesesteak - Sports Bars Near Me - Lester, Pennsylvania

We were visiting here from TN and found this close (about 7 mins) to the airport. It was smaller than the pictures on Yelp make it seem but that didn't take away from the experience at all. We went about 430 on a Saturday evening. It wasn't busy at all. The bar was open and there are about 6 tables in the front but they also have a more secluded room in the back with a pool table for private gatherings. When we first walked i. The music was playing So the vibes were nice! We got a table and the man behind the bar came right over to greet us and get our drink orders. They had a full bar and carried a lot of different beers. We just ordered Corona (no pun intended lol). A young lady then came over and took our orders. We got the chicken Philly egg rolls w/tots and the fish and chips. The eggs rolls i believe are homemade (not frozen) because she asked if we wanted onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños in them-even gave us a option on which cheese we wanted in them. The fish was crispy and fried to perfection and the fries great too! Overall, this visit was great and they service was also great. The guy even gave us some good places to visit while in the city! Great service ! read more

We had a great lunch! I highly recommend Kelly Corner! Kim was awesome and gave us great service at the bar.

This place is a rare find. At first glance it's a dive bar, but there's so much more. The kitchen produces top-grade dishes. I ordered the crab cake entree and it was quite literally the best crab cake I'd had in my life! Full of crab, not filler ingredients, and cooked to perfection. Then there's the bar: you're stepping back in time here, to enjoy a more carefree time in our history. You could shoot a 1970's movie scene here without changing a thing. It's truly charming, in an accidental way. Colorful but simple, like a time capsule from at least 40 years back. The music is GREAT! Mostly 60's and 70's rock hits. Drop in and enjoy this place. I did! read more

Wow! Yelp for the win!!! We found this place after being stuck due to flight cancellation. We read that the Steak and Cheese was legit and holy moly was it ever. We sat at the bar and Jenny the bar tender was friendly and knowledgeable. It's a local place in a safe neighborhood and we Ubered from our hotel. We're so glad we came. Unreal! Don't miss it. read more

What a great little bar in Essington. While in Philly for work on April 3rd, 2024, I stopped in at the end of my shift and I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two pints of Guinness. I DID CHECK THE YELP REVIEWS. I was happy to confirm all the nice things being said. You are not leaving this place hungry and the food is really very good. It is a very local bar with a nice easy gonna vibe. Bartender was pretty chill. read more

Local hole in the wall bar- food was okay, was pretty dead. Just the locals sitting and drinking at the bar.

Found this joint on Yelp, it was exactly what I look for when traveling. A true Philly experience with excellent bar food and cold drinks.

Food was great and so was the bartender... Eagles game was on several TVs and great home town ambiance... I had the wings and pork sandwich, too much food but was so good I did it anyway! About a 12 minute walk from the Delta, could also take a short Uber. Glad I visited and will again next time in town. read more
