    Went with four of my friends on March 13 to hear the bagpipers. The place is packed. The parking lot is filled over onto other lots. The food was good. For friends had the prime rib. I had the very bland, corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes, which the potatoes weren't peeled completely so it was very hard to cut open. Yes I'm talking about the potatoes. Very festive place, the bagpipers go around the bar and play and stop at each corner, which was great then they took a break. Then they put the jukebox on then the bagpipers started to play and the jukebox was still on. Service was very good. Upon asking for a to go box, she handed it right across my girlfriend's face, then walked around her and picked up a plate! We were a half an hour out called. They do not take reservations, but for a table of five there was two left and they had one ready for us. Took my corned beef home, added some pickling spices in it and it was delicious! The bathroom was extremely tight. They did have a handicap bathroom, but everybody was moving around like we were on a chessboard.

    Looking forward to returning to Kelly's on our current trip to Ocean Grove. Pretty quiet on this off-season Monday evening. We were promptly seated on a "high top" near the bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks while studying the menu. The Honey ordered the French Onion Soup to start and the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I chose The German Sausage Platter - the Octoberfest special. The soup came and it was burnt! The cheese was actually burnt! It was replaced promptly but why was it brought out this way? The rest of the meal was better, the sausage special was impressive and delicious. Definitely a winner! Will ordered again the next time we're in town.

    Very cool Irish pub. Huge bar area and they have outside seating if you prefer. Personally I would much rather sit inside with the bar area they have, just for the atmosphere alone. The food was very good.....I had the open meatloaf sandwich which was good and there was zero chance of me finishing, it was huge. My friends got the Reuben and they both enjoyed it. The service was great. We were seated and served very quickly. If you're on your way down the shore and want traditional Irish food and a quick drink this is a great stop.

    Came with a bunch of friends and it was my first visit. We stopped in for a drink and load up on food before hitting the next spot. We shared a bunch of appetizers; loaded nachos, blooming onion, grilled wings with Thai chili sauce, pretzels with super hot mustard and spinach and artichoke dip. Always very good and the service was great. Unfortunately we left just when the guy was going to start playing but seems like a great spot to sit on the patio and spend some time.

    Another great meal at Kelly's Corner Tavern. Kevin was our server and he was excellent. The food was delicious as always. I had the French onion Soup and the mini Reuben which hit the spot. My husband enjoyed his food as well. They also had live music which was a lot of fun. I need to come here more often. If you haven't been, it's a must try for good Irish pub food.

    First time getting pizza not bad at all and well it's the platter .just wish I had butter with the rye and cooked a little less.

    I really don't know how this place stays so consistently good year after year. Great again tonight. Get the Rubin!!!! My wife also loved the Shepard pie!

    This is the cheese I got

    Food was horrible. I ordered chicken wings and cheese fries and first of all the chicken wings had no flavor and really did not taste that good. The fries were not bad but the cheese was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever been served. It was so gross and most of my family did not like it at all. My stomach hurts after coming here and I will not be coming back.

    Fried chicken sandwich

    I said "PLEASE. NO mayo. I HATE mayo!" And they still put mayo on it. Ughh Ceaaar salad was too fishy But it was good besides that the fried chicken was fire so was the daiquiri

    4/28/26 Lunchtime: We stopped in the Asbury Ale House for…read morelunch. The outside of the building is beautiful. It was formerly the Steinbach building department store from yesteryear. The building is in the National Historic Registry. (Cool Ambiance) This Ale House is humongous with at least two to three bars. The interior was really colorful with upbeat wall to wall murals. In addition, you'll see some cool stuff like an old-fashioned telephone booth and signage. For fun, there's a small arcade area with timed basketball and air hockey in one area of the ale house. (Service & Food) Natasha was our wonderful and caring server. A bottle of cold water and glasses w/ice were brought to the table. We ordered soft drinks to start out. For lunch, we ordered a Grilled Chicken Avocado BLT and a Caprese Sandwich. Both sandwiches had wonderful fresh ingredients. Each platter came with a small air fryer container of spicy chips. The bacon on my sandwich was nice and crispy. Just the way I like it. : D The manager Nicole came to check in on our table along with others. We told her everything was great. Definitely recommend Asbury Ale House. In regards to parking, we parked on the street and used the mobile app. It was a weekday and street parking was tricky. Can't even imagine parking on the weekends.

    I came to Asbury Ale House with a 17 person party to celebrate my birthday during brunch time. We…read morewere seated in the very back and on the opposite side, away from the other patrons, which was great but it also felt as though we did not receive enough service due to being away from everyone else. The food didn't take too long to come out and the portions were good but the taste was just okay. We did experience a couple missing items (side of avocado and chimichurri) and brought this to the server's attention. For the chimichurri, we were told that it didn't come with the steak because they didn't have it anymore so they didn't include it in our meal. We should have been told this before the food came out or even right after it was set on the table. We were offered a replacement sauce (pico de gallo) just to find out that it cost extra and had to explain that it should be free as a replacement to the chimichurri. The manager was able to comp the pico and apologized. At the end of the meal, I was also surprised to not receive any acknowledgement that I was celebrating my birthday (which I marked on the reservation). Once I received the receipt, I noticed that we were also charged extra for the missing side of avocado and an extra sauce. This was not disclosed to us prior. I can see why this place would be popular due to the atmosphere but the food and service here would not have me coming back.
