| - This is an old bar that my grandfather took me too for lunch when I was a little kid. I'll never forget that day, one because it was always awesome to hang out with my grandpa, and two because I bet that was the last time that the place was swept.
The drinks here are interesting, and the Moscow Mule (a mix of vodka, sweet lime, and ginger beer) is one of the coolest drink to order. A good selection of beers, and decent bartenders make the bar the highlight of Kelly's.
The last time we were there (Thursday), they had live music from DJ Zombo, whose radio show I adored when I was in under grad, so that was a little extra bonus.
The food is, honestly, pretty terrible, but they are known for their mac and cheese. Being good at making macaroni and cheese is about as impressive as being REALLY good at pooping. There isn't too much that can go wrong in the process, so I will say that it's every bit as delicious as any other time that I have had delicious mac and cheese.
It always happens that we arrive here when I'm starving, so I've managed to dig through the menu. Much like the food that they eat in the first Matrix movie, I feel like whenever I eat here, I'm just doing it to survive. With all of the new restaurants that are in the area, I would recommend grabbing something to eat before you head to Kelly's. This place is more for drinking anyways.
The waitstaff is pretty rough. You'll end up walking to the bar to get a drink if it's a busy night, and that's for the best really. I have never had a night here where at least one of my drink orders hasn't come back all effed in the a. This is kind of why I'm giving it a 3.
If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out, just watch out for the sass.
