Kelley’s Pub

Kelley’s Pub is a great, local pub for cheap drinks. Period. And if you live close by, it’s even better. Because I mentioned the cheap drinks already, right?
Its interior isn’t fancy, but it’s pretty clean. There’s usually live music of some sort and lots of grumpy old men. If you’re a lady, you might get hassled by a few, but it’s harmless.
The bartenders are sweethearts, but I have seen them over-​pour for some people who clearly should have been done.
There is also a small parking lot and they seem to have daily specials based on what sporting event is on and the time of year.
I’ve never had food from here, but I’m told it comes from the deli next door. However, I did look at the menu, which featured a lot of American comfort foods and fried apps. This makes me question whether all the food is actually from next door or if they have their own, small kitchen now.

My friend Z-​Rob moved directly across the street from Kelley’s. I have watched a couple of Cavs and Clowns games here. The crowd is great. A lot of old men who are ball breakers. Enshallah I will become an old man drinking at a bar one day. Kelley’s would be the type of place I would go.

Since my original review the charm has worn off, and it is sliding back to the shithole it used to be. I’ve seen the manager involved with quasi illegal gambling from the video poker machine, patrons being over served to the point of pissing their pants, and being made to generally not feel welcome because I wasn’t part of the ‘in crowd”.
No big deal. There are many other and better bars in Lakewood.

First time here and it’s pretty awesome! Great specials and it’s right up the street from my house, so super convenient! Lots of craft beers and everything is pretty cheap. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be back!

Friendly people and good prices! I’ll be back.
