Make sure you get there early. It is easy to get a seat or a table before 9 but after that it becomes crowded.

As a long time East Ender, I love what they did with this place: Great beers, music, and atmosphere. What I HATE are the man hating bartenders who are flat out R-U-D-E! One of my boneless chicken wings were undercooked, so when I asked to have it heated up, this blonde, gay, punk, busty bartender kicked me a total attitude. Not cool..

Got here at 6:50pm last night in anticipation of being one of the first to try East End Brewing's Big Hop Pale Ale....and there was hardly anyone here. 45 minutes later the place was packed, but my wife and I already had cozied up to the bar. Some great beers on tap - Dogfish 60 minute, Heavyweight Lunacy, Victory Hop Devil, Great Lakes Christmas Ale, etc. Also had Arrogant Bastard's 8th Anniversary in bottle, along with a few other Belgians, Great Lakes Nosferatu and Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Food was good, nothing out of this world, but well better than average, and the service was great - no complaints there.

This is an excellent place. There is a single page of pub fare for the food and 2 pages for the cocktails & beer. Not a huge number of taps & bottles, but the quality more than makes up for the quantity. Plus, as mentioned, the taps rotate weekly.

The bartenders were fun and the place has great atmosphere, w/ a 50s Diner-ish motif and punk & rockabilly tunes. I did see that the music choices were varied by night, so you may get a DJ playing something else.

This place is a hidden little gem that unless you are from the east-end you wouldnt know about it. As mentioned by other reviewers 12 taps, all usually very strong choices and they are always changing. The place totally changes depending on time of night and day of week. Friday nights its filled with hipster types w/ rockabilly hairdos and tattoos and on a weekday before 9 its postwork coats/ties and yups from shadyside. pancetta BLT is so good it makes you want to slap your mother. the pierced and tattoed barmaids also are very cool. Eclectic jukebox with old school country mixed with punk and lounge. Not a place you would expect in pittsburgh, very new york or L.A. type scene here mixed with good beer. I'm not a hipster however and usually wear jeans and flannel and felt perfectly comfortable.

recently had Heavyweight Scotch Ale on tap and Heavyweight Lunacy. Also, Leffe Brown on tap and Three Philosophers from Ommegang in bottles. The Mac n Cheese is best I've ever had and Burgers are huge and tasty.

selection of taps includes heavyweight lunacy, victory stuff and stone brewing. Groovy juke and massive burgers. bartender was a bit dim but nice on the eyes. crowd is a mix of postal workers, artists, convicted convicts and yuppies. place is sexy and lit with a pinkish light from the deco bar and neon. A good joint.

I enjoyed my first time at Kellys, Unfortunately the bartender was not the friendliest. Since it was my first time I wanted to find out more about the bar and food but could not drag her away from her magazine.

Ok so we crawled our way over to Kelly's Bar to check out what people had been talking about. Kelly's is a real bar, a real old 50's looking retro, black and white checked floor with nice padded booths sort of bar... It's an authentic (mostly) old bar that has been updated. Well its all that minus the 50+ years of gunk that one would expect to find.

The beer selection includes regional favorite Victory products and Stoudt's.. Other micros from Sierra, Anchor, Penn, Sam Adams, Rogue, Ommegang and Hennepin... The import batch includes a Franziskaner, Lindeman's, Hoegarden, Chimay... so the beer list totals 15 micros and 16 imports.. 14 special cocktails...

The food selection is limited to 15 items, which mostly look like sides or appetizers... We tried the mixed green salad, sweet potato fries and tex mex rolls... all are vegetarian... the salad was really green and good... the sweet potato's were over-sized, skin attached and a tad too greasy for us.. The tex mex rolls were alright, but not filling or extremely wonderful...

We saw a nearbly table consuming a char grilled hamburger with fries, which look both filling and more appealing than our fare...

Filling portions are limited to the burger and a char frilled chicken satay..

Kelly's is worth giving a try... A needed destination for people in Shadyside and Friendship areas of Pittsburgh. Recommend it as an after dinner place... Within a few block walk is both Big Bean Burrito Group's Casbah and Buffalo Blues.

Kelly's is the kind of place East Liberty Circle needs to spearhead its redevelopment efforts. It's just 2 blocks also away from the Shadow Lounge, another progressive place just too across the bridge from Shadyside.
