i found out from the locals that this is the only place left on the island that brews beer. the key west bottled beer is no longer made in key west. this restaurant offers an IPA and a Red Ale that a brewer comes in daily to tend to. We came two nights during our 2 week stay for the... More

This place was awful. We went all over Key West and never met such rude people. To say the environment was hostile is an understatement. The staff seemed miserable. The service was terrible. The beer was pretty bad. We go to lots of breweries when we travel, but would never go back to this one or recommend it to anyone.... More

The bartenders and hostess act like they've been serving too many tourists, but the Happy Hour drinks are good, and the wings and burgers are excellent. Happy Hour (4-7pm) is the best deal in town. Beat the crowds at 4...come at 6 when the first wave have packed up and left. Sweet Chili wings have a mild kick, and the... More

I live here in Key West and have been referring tourists there for a while. Stopped in today to have lunch with my daughter and waited for 5 minutes at the hostess station while staff walked past us time and time again, no eye contact. When the hostess did come over, she very irritably told us that they are "busy... More

My husband & I came to Kelly's for a couple reasons; One, my hubby loves his micro brews & two Happy Hour deals! We stopped by for a couple $2 micro brews from 4-7 pm's. As we where there in the fun outside & inside bar atmosphere, we noticed the yummy wings that where coming out of the kitchen constantly!... More

We stayed in KW for 10 days and ate in 20 different places. Kelly's was just OK, the environment was certainly not the most friendly, we felt pretty invisible but the drinks were good. More

My husband and I stopped here after walking around town and were sorely dissapointed. We were excited and the place does look really cute. Upon entering we waited to even be noticed even though it was NOT busy. When we were noticed the hostess looked very annoyed we were there. We ordered off the brunch/lunch menu and it was a... More

No place to sit. 8 tables and only 10 chairs. 8 extra bat stools but you cannot use them for the bar tables, only at the bar. A Chris Rule. Same rule and you cannot put tables together. His house, his rules. I used to do this 2-3x a week and take friends there. NO MORE. I am tired of... More
