2 reviews for Kelly's Bar & Grill
Today, I saw some guy taking down the Kelly's sign and put up a sign that says "Red Owl Bar and Grill". I assume they switched owners. I will check out the Red Owl in a week or so. Now I am bummed that I never got over to Kelly's.
UPDATE------------
The Red Owl signage is for exterior filming shots for Showtime's "Nurse Jackie". I went into Kelly's last night. Its a micro-local time warp bar. Everyone there is very friendly its like a club. If you dont mind some, as the Irish say, "craic" then go in, but if you and your friends just want to drink alone, Kelly's might not be best for you. I happen to enjoy good craic and I love micro-local neighborhood places, so I really enjoy it there. $3.50 bottles of Bud, and they also have those little "nip" bottles for either 2 even or 2 and a quarter, I forget. Nice pours on spirits too, those run $5. Its a great priced place for sure. The owner, Sandra, or "sandie" as she introduced herself to me is very nice, great personality "been here for 46 years!" she proclaimed. There is a crazy bunch of characters there, very outgoing but everyone is very friendly - so there's nothing to worry about. There is a back room with a full sized pool table. Four TV's in the main room, two focused on horse racing, and two on college football. I get the sense that this is a betting bar as well. Horses on TV, pool game in the back, card games getting mentioned. Just a good local place. Very warm.
I have had so much fun here! This is the most crazy ass dive bar ever.
Every single time i come here i always meet extremely ..... original people.
The last time i came, i met a woman who should have been on Ricky Lake. She had to sisters, one who stabbed her and one who slept with her husband.
The clientele is not exactly hip, but man! They sure have some good stories. If you choose to come her. DONT COME ALONE! they will eat you alive if you do.
They have a pool table, O.K. prices and a jukebox
