| - Ah, Kelly's, your friendly neighborhood dive bar!
I've been here a few times and while I've always found myself satisfied with their libations, I can't really say it's all that memorable. Their happy hour menu is pretty satisfactory, with some of the best mac & cheese I've had in the city. Their beer selection, service, and ambiance are a bit..... how do you say? Meh.
Their food's not bad and they provide several vegetarian options for all the non-meat-eaters out there. Unfortunately, everything about it just seems sort of mediocre! Their tofu bites sounded a lot better than they actually were, with the spiciness overtaking the actual flavor. It was definitely something I could have made at home.
Granted, Kelly's has always seemed severely understaffed the times I've gone, so I can understand SOME of the slow service. I'm reminded of the surly hipster waitresses from the bars of my college days, ignoring tables for an eternity and forgetting refills and water. While the prices are decent, I certainly wouldn't mind paying a little bit more to have them beef up their waitstaff. It seems I can't leave Kelly's in under an hour due to how slow it is!
Worth a try during happy hour, but not quite worthy of being one of my regular drinking holes.
