This is a good spot for a midday drink. I stopped in here with a big group in between a wedding ceremony and reception. We had a blast! I was able to hook up to the TouchTunes, get a drink quickly, and order some good apps. Great local watering hole that's welcoming. read more

Hidden gem, excellent service I had the patty melt with fries, reasonable price and large portions, they make their patties fresh! Classic bar fare, burgers, snacks, Has the classic irish drinks! Great car bombs and Guinness, wanted for nothing Hope to come again read more

I live in the neighborhood so I've frequented this bar enough times to write a review. I've never experienced good service here, the servers act annoyed if you ask for another drink?? The food is meh, nothing to write home about. The time I was here I walked in with my bf and it was almost empty inside but there was a server so we sat down, we ended up having to walk up to the bar to order drinks because the server never came to wait on us. The ambiance and crowd seems to be a lot of regulars and I get the feeling they get top priority. I really have given this bar so many chances, and they fail everytime, which sucks because it's right down the street. I drive out of my way to other establishments because I'd rather not walk in this place ever again. I guess their regulars keep them afloat, because they dont seem to care about new customers coming back. read more

The beer is ice cold, the half pound Kelly Burger was cooked to perfection. Environment is clean and has plenty of room for large parties. Service was second to none. read more

I love this little dive bar. The food here is really good for an Irish pub. I love the burgers. The service is great as well. The waitresses do a great job. read more

Showed up for the first time on the way to the airport and wow wonderful experience. If I could rate this 1 million stars I could. Wonderful pretty bartenders with amazing cooks. Will definitely recommend this place!!! read more

10/10 food and service with friendly regulars to chat with. Would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back more frequently.

Came on a Friday night to have a quick drink. Jacob and I immediately noticed the "bro" crowd and the crazy-loud music. We had to scream to talk to one another. We sat down at a table in the middle of the place and looked around desperately for a server. None ever came to us, so when a couple seats at the bar opened up, we sat there. I ordered a cocktail, Jake got a pint of Killian's. My drink was $5.50, which was a rip-off because the drink was weak and they made it a tall even though I didn't ask for it that way. We couldn't wait to finish our drinks. The horrible loud music and the obnoxious crowd were enough to turn us off, but the bartender wearing a belly shirt in the middle of winter was probably the nail in the coffin. read more

See all

I went here a week ago and my experience was eh. It's a fine neighborhood bar I guess. They charge way too much for a neighborhood bar though. Over $6 for a drink? I guess I am used to 3 or 4 dollar drinks. I ordered the pizza sticks and they were disappointing. Also the bathrooms. They are so small and not ADA compliant at all. Only 1 stall has a door on it. The other is wide open. They have a sign that says: "we know our bathrooms suck, thanks." If you know, then fix it!!! It's a fine place for a quick drink with a friend, but I wouldn't waste my time going here. read more

Ugh, yuck, and never again! Took some work friends out for a Friday night. They were from out of town and wanted a local bar experience. About 10 minutes in, realized we may have made a mistake but decided to give it a shot anyway. Kelly's was dark, stupid loud, crummy mixed drinks, meh beer selection, uninspiring greasy bar food. VERY questionable cleanliness. And then--they asked to hold our debit/credit cards?! Who goes here? People with questionable character or sketchy credit? We're working professionals and expect to pay after the meal when the bill is due. Would give a zero if I could. read more

Kelly's is a divey bar with a light Irish atmosphere. Beer selection is OK, whiskey selection looked robust. Now let's talk to food. I chose the Ruben sandwich (Irish Pub right). Although they implied it was made in house I have my doubt. The corned beef was cut way too consistently and tastes processed. I saw the waitress taking sauerkraut out of a "food service" bucket and warm it on the grill. Although the sandwich was ok. I wasn't impressed. Frozen French fries .... I won't say more. There are just too many good places out there to eat at. Kelly's is not one of those. read more

Kelly's Irish Pub - a bar with a green t - shirt - Pubs Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I've been here enough times to give them a fair evaluation. I just don't like Kelly's. It's a locals bar, but not in a good way. Mostly dudebros and middle-aged men drinking bud light and playing awful music on the jukebox. Bartenders are the skinny, under-dressed type you'd expect from a sleazy dive (don't let the building's nice exterior fool you), but they do alright. Haven't had any food. Nothing to get excited about on tap. Prices are middle of the road. I really only come here when I'm meeting up with people who are already there and don't want to go somewhere else. read more

Dude, why all the hate for this place? I think my fellow Yelpers need to manage their expectations a little bit better. I will agree that some of the comments are valid (Guiness) but dude, look around. You are at a fake ass Irish Pub in Dearborn Heights - what did you expect, Ireland? Come on bro. Came in here on a Thursday around happy hour to kill some time before my kids powderpuff football game at DC. We sat down and the bartender came over and asked us what we would like to drink and if we wanted food. We ordered a couple beers and a couple apps. The menu is small and it's essentially deep fried apps and burgers/sandwiches - you know, BAR food - like you would get in a BAR. Beer was cold and the deep fried cheese sticks tasted like deep fried cheese sticks. It's worth noting that there were probably 20 people in there, including us and the bartender was it for front of the house and she did a great job. Nobody was ever left wanting for anything and she handled drinks and food and keno like a champ all by her lonesome. We went to another bar after the game that had a bartender and 4 servers and our service was terrible. If you have reasonable expectations of what this place is and are fine with that, you will be hard pressed to find something wrong with Kelly's. Get in, get some beers and get on your way. If you come in here expecting to be presented with a linen napkin and served out of a chalice this probably isn't your kinda place. I personally like to rate places for what they are, not for what I hope for them to be. I'd come back for sure. read more

I love to be there best place l enjoy my time food is great all friends very nice thank u for everythink read more

Kelly's Irish Pub - a bar full of liquor - Pubs Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

The service: horrible The staff: nonexistent Cleanliness: I wish it had been darker in there The food: below standard "bar food" Prices: too high for what you get Highlight: my Reuben was decent, until I found the HAIR on it *sigh* read more

I've been to hundred's of Irish pubs around the world, this is the first Irish pub that doesn't serve Guinness on tap! They had American beers on tap, (bud and bug light..) i just don't understand why they don't have Guinness on tap.. still confused. The bar tender lady is nice and friendly, she also the chef. Gave her extra tip in hope it will contribute to the funds to have Guinness on tap. The pub it self however did have the Irish feel to it which was good. read more

Pros: There's a nice patio, drink service is fast, and free popcorn. Cons: Draft beer is warm, food service is slow. Neutral: Menu is very limited, but well-executed. read more

Best place ever. Makes me smile everytime w pride. Tips up quarters down. Portions are great as well as the music sold worldwide. Party up

Don't come here for all your food on st. Patty's Dayx and Irish Pub that don't even have corn beef and cabbage or shepherd's pie read more

Love this place the fries are amazing and so are all the appetizers I've had. Would recommend to a frt for a place to get a beer and a meal

Excellent drinks with a decent pour... enough room and updates to make this place very solid. Wait staff are attentive and keep you smiling. Bathrooms are shit but if you know that going in... who cares.. burgers are the way to go... as is the Irish whiskey. Help yourself to the free popcorn... if you can find a guy with the last name Bailey here and buy him a drink... he will share a spectacular Irish song... among other fantastic stories.. read more

I don't understand why this place has some back reviews either but me and my buddy came here for lunch and we love the nice warm atmosphere the bar had. The bar stools we're very comfy. The bartender was very friendly. I had the party melt with chips and it pretty good for bar food. We also had the mini corn dogs and the pretzel stick and they were also really good. Great spot we will definitely be back again read more

Ok if u get the right bar maid. Unfortunately. The one we have wound up with today has the personality of a gnat. If they would get some nice personalities behind the bar them they might attract nicer clientele. read more

This bar recently changed hands and reopened in July 2012. The place has been nicely spruced up with new tables, flooring, paint and looks nice inside. They now have Guiness on tap (as well as Killian's). They really need to revisit their pricing structure, though. I think the new owners have forgotten that this is a neighborhood bar - not a destination hot spot. The cost of a Michelob Ultra was $3.50 on an early Saturday afternoon while the bar was mostly empty. I'm told that premium drinks (Captain and Coke) are over $5 a piece. They don't serve food anymore, at least not yet. Although, the bartender made popcorn and told me to help myself. Speaking of the bartender, she had zero personality and wasn't all that grateful for our business. I would suggest bringing friends if you're hoping to have someone friendly to talk to as you enjoy your beer. A friend of mine (former regular of the bar) also visited recently. They attempted to introduce themself to one of the owners, saying "Hi, are you the owner?" The response? "That's what they f****n call me." Nice. So, maybe it's a little early to judge this place. I hope they will re-evaluate some of the decisions they've made so far and make this back into a great neighborhood place. Right now, it isn't. read more

Kelly's has been around a long time, and it's been 20+ years since I've been in. I was there for a friend's mom's Irish Wake, and they were sweet and attentive. It's been remodeled and has an outdoor patio space I can't recall, but due to the fact I was overserved the last time I was there, it may have been there and I just didn't recall. Plenty of choices on tap and behind the bar. Acoustics make for a loud place, but it's definitely a good stop if you are in the area. read more

Agree with most the reviews. This place has such a great look and environment but the beer selection is "meh" and the food just edible really. It was empty when I came in and I kinda felt like I was bothering the person holding down the fort. read more

Recently under new ownership, Kelly's has seen some badly needed updates. I'm not sure that they really need a DJ here like they had on Saturday night but they do have a grill going now and the place feels less cluttered. I miss using the back service door to enter the place tho. read more

Quaint neighborhood pub, nice patio, no presumptions, just a good place to spend a few hours catching up with friends. Food is pretty good too. read more

Well, this is more of a guys bar than an Irish Pub. It kind of has a "good ol boy" atmosphere and the guys like it that way. It's a good place for guys to laugh, shout and holler during the televised sports games and a good place to laugh, shout and holler when there are no games. The most popular drinks are probably Miller Lite and Bud Lite. Nobody ever asks for Guiness on tap. You won't hear Irish music and you won't dance the Irish Jig. The guys who frequent this bar "pub" want no part of either one. read more

I agree with the lack of friendliness with staff. I felt like I was bothering my barmaid. Definitely need a redo on staff. Not the first time. Used to go here back when it felt like an Irish corner bar... read more

We had a party at Kelly's for approximately 30+ people. The owners and staff bent over backwards to help us out and take care of all of the guests. Everyone was impressed with the atmosphere and service. We would highly recommend Kelly's. You'll have a great time! read more

Although the place looks a great deal better than it used to, I'm not a fan of the new atmosphere. As I've read in prior reviews, the new management seems to forget that it's a "neighborhood" bar and not a club. The waitstaff leaves something to be desired in the class department. read more
