Came here after my works Christmas party as kick ons because it has karaoke. It had been a few years since I'd been at Kelly's so I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a bit of a renovation on the place. By 10pm the place was packed and the karaoke is by the entrance so it gets very loud. In saying that I loved the atmosphere! The security guards here are great and wouldn't hassle you about ID if you went outside to make a phone call or find a friend, which was an added bonus. Will definitely be back soon

Since the renovations, Kelly's lost a bit of its original dingy charm. Its best for afternoon drinks, as later on, and on the weekend its too loud to hold a conversation, and lines for drinks are a bit obnoxious. King St has better to offer.

A nice, laidback experience. Good drinks and great for pool upstairs. There is a giant screen playing music videos and its fun and a very popular place. A typical irish pub

They have a great little beer garden thats away from the usual riff raff of newtown. Cheap food and bevs that always good and great service. There's pool, a jukebox and all the usual accoutrements you expect of an irish pub, and it's right in the middle of Newtown's busiest street

Kelly's has been around for a fair few years now, i have attended more times i can count and recently it has undergone renovations which have really brightened the place up. The pub grub is really nice, they make a mean nachos and a good parmigiana. They have a wide range of beers on tap and they have accomodated the outside areas very nicely with plenty of space upstairs and downstairs for people to sit in their balcony/courtyard. There is live music, karaoke and a big screen out the back which they play many of the big name sports on. Very good place for people to meet up and enjoy a long night, they are also open until 4am. Prices arent over the top like some other newtown pubs nowdays and your not struggling to find a seat/position to stand when it is busy.
