Awesome place, great prices, great pours. Friends and I had a great time, good atmosphere. Really can't go wrong here

Wowowow. This is really one of those spots that should not be Yelp''ed, so it does not get ruined. But - we also want people to support them so they stay in business ! (Which they have for over 75-80 years already, & thankfully, have not changed much inside). If you have to spend some leisurely time in Flushing doing some shopping, getting a discount deep tissue massage, or eating some amazing food, this is def THE spot for the early warm up! read more

Proper bar in the middle of lunacy. Decent Guinness and a $dollar jukebox. I will say this though.. how can you charge $8 for a draft modelo. Prices are out of control in this city these days. Should be $5 beers How can I sit and drink all day with beers being $8 read more

Average dive bar with a few small old TVs above the bar and a few tables and chairs. The bar itself is pretty small - probably can fit about 30 people max before it feels crowded. Wish someone would have told me that this bar was cash only. Shots are 1oz pours not the typical 1.5 oz dive bar pour. read more

Nice dive Bar in Chinatown lol ,,, bartender She very friendly had a great conversation and showed her pictures of Vald the Impaler a.k.a. "Dracula" castle and wardrobe ,,, I had to kill some time while my wife was getting her eyes done ... also very happy. They had one ice cold and fresh tasting IPA on tap read more

Went out with friends and had a Whiskey Coke ... pretty standard, nothing special. The taste was okay, but for the price I expected a bit more. Overall, it was fine but not memorable. read more

lowkey bar in flushing that my best friend suggested me to & i really love it there. there's not a lot of bar options where you can just sit & listen to music & talk to your friends in flushing unless you go to a restaurant bar. their music selection is amazing & the bartender was so welcoming & such a chill guy to talk to. it is cash only but they have an atm if you dont have any on you & the drinks are priced really well :) they have pizza as well if you're hungry! read more

Shared a round of whiskey & cola at a party ... big mistake. It was overly sweet, gassy, and just didn't mix well. My friends said they'd rather drink whiskey straight next time. read more

Such an amazing place! Great service and drinks! You definitely won't regret coming here

If you look up New York dive bars in the dictionary (or Urban Dictionary for that matter) you will see a photo of Kelly's Pub (with our large crew in tow) As a means to grab a pint before our LIRR train, while having the game on TV, Kelly's treated us right. read more

Yes it's a Dive bar. But in flushing if you want to have beer with an American. This is one of only a couple spots. Don't be scared. And the pizza is great after a few read more

Beer for the tap was lukewarm & though she exchanged the warm Guinness for a cold coors light I didn't get any money back. If you wanna come & tel racist jokes at the bar then this is the place for you. read more

Great place for a pint or two. Jen/Jennifer - the bartender during the day - was amazing. Got a couple of drinks before and after the Mets game. 100% coming back when we go to a Mets game again. read more

Great local dive bar. Stopped in here twice while staying over for a concert at Citi Field. Wine pours are generous. They had Woodfood Reserve as the house wine. Also noticed what a nice selection of bourbons that they have. Woman bartender during the day was very nice. Told me they make bar pies. Came back to this place after the show to get pizza & the nasty guy bartender refused to make it so we left. read more

No food at all, and cash only. Need to do better for your customers. No table service, only service direct from the bar

Ahhh no. Cash only. Only food is pizza and the bartenders will service you no matter how drunk you are. We were one and done. I wouldn't even give it 1 star but had to pick one read more

A tremendous neighborhood bar. Some may call it a dive. Others will simply appreciate the great company, affordable prices and generous hospitality. Perfect meeting spot before a Mets game or to keep a party going after a concert at Citi Field. Lots of regulars in here and for better or worse you'll quickly feel like one. Most of the beers are on ice and the whisk(e)y selection is tremendous. If you run into a regular called G$ then do yourself a favor and run away or you risk having the most random, infuriating, epically entertaining conversation of your life. read more

Friendly staff! Everyone welcome. Watched the NBA playoffs before heading to Citifield for a Mets game. $6 beers. What more can you ask for?

OMG! Tell me it isn't so! Closed on 7/17/17 by NYC Health Department after receiving 61 points according the NYC website. Kelly's doesn't even serve food! I don't know the details (other than "evidence of mice or live mice present in facility's food and/or non-food areas" and some flies) on the NYC website, but think that's a bit harsh! Hey, this is downtown Flushing so isn't this to be expected? I hope they clean up and open soon! read more

Hey Folks, Welcome to Kelly's Irish Pub in in the middle of Flushing's Chinatown. Eat first before you come.. just booze no Grub at Kelly's Pub. ( bring a couple pizzas in with you.. you'll make friends fast) Pulling up a stool, I thought I had been thrown back in time 50 years. I loved it. It's cash only here.. Take your cash out and put it on the bar just like your old man taught you. Your credit card won't go far here. The vibe was old woodgrain, old booze and even older men. Just like the places my daddy and grandpa would go drinking. Dimly lit by the Mets baseball neon sign in the front window.. it was like the bar should have said..BIG JIM is welcome here. Old man Irish dive bars were among the first places that I ever went drinking. No one checked your ID back in the day and your old man was at the bar drinking anyway. I felt like I was home. Kelly's has a dart board and you don't have to look away to see the game the TV is mounted right over the dartboard. I believe that hitting the TV with a dart would not be good here. This is the only place that you will find a nice tall cold long neck bottle of Bud for $4. Definitely, this is the place to relax with friends in Flushing and not have to use your Mandarin. Johnny at the bar was a friend of mine.. and suggested that Jagermeister would be the drink of choice. It sure was. This deliciously chilled liquor paired well with the cold Budweisers in the Glass bottles. We finished the first bottle quickly and had to open another. Yelp tip of the day ..! Always buy the bartender drinks at the Irish bar you will not be sorry later. It got a little drunk out that night. This is where Kelly's Pub picks up that final 5th Star, it's only a five minute walk from my apartment. Since the closing of the Roosevelt sports bar down the road. ... It's now one of the only games in town. If anyone knows another cool old dive like this in Flushing please let me know. Old well dear friends, you know it's getting close to closing time when most of the patrons are passed out on the bar. Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed. And the Mets kicked ass tonite. Knocked in a franchise-record score of.. 24 to 4 !! What is this FOOTBALL ? Let's raise a toast to our Mets here in Flushing! In the shadow of Citi Field, a quick walk from Kelly's Pub. read more

This place is "The Room" of bars. The worst bar I've ever been in, so much so it might be the best. The kegs were empty except for warm Guinness (at 6pm on a Saturday ). The lights were all the way on. The football game was turned down, while the ranchero music was turned up. The bathroom smelled like the port-a-potty of a state fair in Kansas, the air conditioning unit has a hose running through the wall to drip directly into the men's bathroom sink, and clearly there hadn't been a female patron under 40 in the bar since its inception. And it is perfect. I love Kelly's. Never change. It's authentic, raw, and purely Kelly's. read more

Ghetto? Yes. Cash only? Yes. Tons of fun? Yes! This is your classic neighborhood Irish bar serving a decent pint of Guinness. It's a nice oasis of Western drinking culture in a neighborhood saturated with Asian drinking establishments. The decor is hardwood, sticky floors, and furniture in all states of disrepair. There was one bartender the night I was there, a Friday. We ordered a couple rounds of Guinness and played some darts. We got a buy back after a couple rounds. Pretty nice of them since we're not even regulars here. There are plenty of televisions to watch sports on. We just happened to be there during the NBA finals but it was still pretty spacious, unlike zebra lounge nearby which was uncomfortably packed. We were also the only Asians here, which is strange given that it's smack dab in the middle of Flushing, but not so strange once you remember that Asians hate dirty Irish bars populated with non-Asian people. Sometimes a dirty little hole in the wall is exactly where you want to do your drinking. Kelly's Pub is a last refuge to the onslaught of impossibly hip craft beer and mixology lounges washing across the face of this old New York neighborhood. read more

Kelly's is a real NYC watering hole with a diverse cast of characters who are there to hang out with friends, watch NY sports, and drink, son! read more

If you're in Flushing, and don't want something Chinese, Kelly's is your spot. This Irish bar just doesn't seem to fit with the neighborhood, which is what makes it absolutely perfect. The crowd seems to consist of a group of regulars, but newcomers are welcomed. Guinness on tap. It's all you need to know. read more

Amazing customer service ! Amazing drinks! Amazing Prices! and they accept CALIFORNIANS & DODGER FANS ( lol )! But really , good spot to pre game b4 hand! Cash only !!!! read more

This place is close to the subway, right by the library (if you wanna read and daydrink...i've done it), and after a shitty day at work, followed by an even shittier subway ride back home (thanks for nothing, 7!), Kelly's has become my go-to spot. The place is pretty small, the smoking area is tiny but gets the job done, and the crowd is super mixed and, most importantly, judgement-free. The bartenders have always been friendly (once I asked for a White Russian and it took longer than I expected...because the bartender had run out of milk and actually gone out to get some more, rather than tell me to order something else) and I like to take my non-Flushing friends here, as a kind of archetypal Deep Queens anti-hipster joint. If any of this sounds appealing to you, then check this place out the next time you're in the neighborhood. read more

I'm a fan of dive bars and I was even a little unsure about this one. An Irish pub in the middle of Chinatown/Flushing? Why is it the only building with bars on the window? I'm glad we decided to come here though. Came here with 5 other people, and the regulars happily moved seats to let us sit together at the bar. The crowd is mixed: tourists, locals, and everyone else in between. Any crowd that keeps the jukebox humming with Nirvana is more than A-OK in my book. As another reviewer pointed out, the pick-up scale in this place is non-existent. Johnny, the bartender, is terrific and quick to refill our drinks. Generous pour on the mixed drinks, my vodka tonic was probably 2 parts vodka and 1 part tonic. Pretty sure he makes up the prices, which is totally fine with us. Drinks were cheap and he treated us to a round of Jameson on the house on our 3rd round. Way to keep the party going, Johnny! I think the door to the women's restroom is jammed; it was locked both times I tried and pretty sure there was nobody in there since there were only 4 women in the entire bar. Restroom was good especially for dive standard. If you happen to be in the area for a yummy Chinese dinner, drop by Kelly's for an especially stiff drink or two before you go on to your Asian karaoke. read more

This place is a total dive. It absolutely rocks! Granted, being from Brooklyn I would never make the trip to go there, but luckily my friends live on the same block, so I get to visit fairly often. They completely ignore the smoking ban, so if you're smoke sensitive don't go there. The place is full of locals - and there is this one woman that has been there every time I go. She must be at least 85, and she's been coming there for Happy Hour since her early 20's! She's a character - definitely chat her up when you're there. It's not a pickup bar, and there are no beautiful people, so come with friends, monopolize the jukebox and enjoy ridiculously strong, ridiculously cheap drinks! read more

I go to Flushing restaurants often and was giving up hope on finding a remaining bar. Here is a good one... Although they both look closed, Roosevelt Sports Bar and Kelly's are both still alive and kicking. Nice full bar, friendly staff, good prices. No kitchen, but they were very accepting of outside food. Which in Flushing with tons of great takeout food works perfect. We got lamb and chicken skewers from Xinjiang BBQ Cart which is directly aross the street and some White Bear wontons, had at bar with cocktails. They even supplied paper towels. Not upscale in the least, but definitely a solid place to knock a few back. Great draft Guniness, cheap pint cocktails, buyback policy and interesting patio get it the 5 Stars (as far as dive bars go). read more
