Kelly’s At Southbridge

Have been to Kelly’s several times, the last trip was on June 9. Every experience has been poor service. The last trip, the bar staff looked right at me and did not even approach to take my order, but she was happy to chat at length with another patron. It took over 5 minutes to finally get someone to place an order for just a drink. Place doesn’t really have much of a «Happy Hour» either.

We stopped here for happy hour. Drinks were not good. They didn’t have much for taste and seemed to be watered down. The wait staff was very friendly and nice. However we were not impressed with the food or drinks. We enjoyed the patio with the cushion chairs. However, I probably wouldn’t come back here.

Been here a few times. The first couple weeks, yes it was a while ago, were amazing. Since then the service has declined. A friend had a broken glass and they poured the beer from a broken glass in to a new glass. What!!! Well tonight… Showed up with 5 people. Yes they were busy. But the bartenders definitely played favorites. Passed us a couple time. Then went ‘in order’ and passes us a couple more times. Even went to the opposite side of the bar for friends. He told us we were next a couple times. Sad. Obviously they don’t care business wise because they were busy. But ridiculous that a bar is ok running this way.

I love dropping in to see my friend Jenna. She always remembers what my friends and I drink and is quick to get our favorite food out as well. We can stay and visit on the patio on a couch for hours. I also enjoy the mix of alternative music from when I was in high school to newer electro that they play at a volume that you can still hear who you are visiting with, yet keeps others from getting annoyed with you when you have that last drink you might not have needed.

I had my bachelorette party here this spring and it was perfect. We were able to snag the VIP couch area, had speciality drinks made just for us, and service was better than we could’ve expected. We only had to make reservations a week in advance! We just snacked but their fries are super tasty and the drinks even better. Thanks for making my special event unforgettable!

Myself and two friends went here last Saturday to check out this spot. We had planned to come here for my birthday in June with a huge group of people. We started on the back patio, because there were no seats in the front and we are smokers. No complaints the back patio is private and the waitress we had was attentive and awesome. We moved up front so we could people watch and that’s when the experience turned sour. I have nothing poor to say about the food. It was great. Bruschetta was great, I had chicken parmesan and despite the chicken being a tad bit burnt and the pasta not all the way cooked it was good. my friends had a burger, and meat balls and they loved it. The problem was the service. the hostesses and waitresses all huddle at the front and hang out, super unprofessional. We asked one waitress to please get our server so we could order more drinks before happy hour was over (she hadn’t checked on us in about 20 minutes), and she looked at us like we were crazy. And then was super rude about getting our waitress, instead of just politely taking our order and giving that tab to our waitress. After the experience we said no way to coming here for my birthday, the service just wasn’t worth the atmosphere or food.
I was really disappointed.

We ate at the bar. The appetizers are really small. They were excellent, but very small.
I got the Short Rib sandwich. It was good. Everything looked good and I would come back and try other stuff.

Really arrogant bartender. Got there with a bachelorette party (later in the evening so didn’t care to serve us.)
Asked at the very end of the night to give me a cup of Water and his response was «do I look like a bar back? Did have gloves on?

I love Kelly’s…in the light of day. Almost every single Saturday and/​or Sunday over the past few months has been spent with my friends on the patio here. They have half priced bottles of wine, comfy couches, and friendly servers– what’s not to love?! We are also big fans of the pork wings appetizer. It sounds weird– what exactly is a pork wing?– but they’re delicious. Kelly’s is always packed at night, but that’s typically when we head out. In my personal opinion, the dbag ratio increases the later it gets, but I guess that’s what you expect anywhere in Old Town. But if you’re looking for a great patio to hang out on and do some day drinking, this is the spot! Just leave a couch open for us ;)

Went last night for my dad’s birthday. Our experience there was fine, but now my brother and I have food poisoning, likely from the Southbridge sandwich.

Wonderful! Great food! Great desserts!!! Great people and the ambience is great! Love it!!!

Oh, Kelly’s, I want to continue loving you but it’s growing increasingly difficult to incur your predictably snooty bartenders and my friends will no longer indulge my desire to keep giving you more tries… Oh, I hate it when a promising relationship becomes a deep disappointment…(sigh).

Ambiance is more mix of high end meets millennials
The bar was in reachable but thankfully Jacklyn our host was extremely accommodating. I really appreciated the way she was able to swiftly and patiently able to multitask between an entire birthday party plus the general pop
If you’re looking to feel VIP without the obligation of a minimum purchase or supplying attractive females just to get in. Go HERE!
Wait in line, it’s simply for ID check. Scottsdale consumers: don’t feel entitled. It’s worth the wait.

I stopped in for a couple beers with some buddies after a meal up the street. This is a spacious and clean bar in the middle of a nice, more upscale shopping center. The large patio area would be perfect for soaking in the evening air or a large group gathering, and the large horseshoe bar had plenty of space to belly up should you want to spend a lot of time here.
Our server was sweet and attentive and the beer selection pretty decent. All in all, a great watering hole for those in the area.

Avoid at all costs!!!
A group of us here for a bachelorette party decide to go to Kelly’s because locals said it was good. Let’s start with us getting to the door and they say no tables open to accommodate us, as we are walking away I notice numerous tables. We walk back and tell her about the tables and her reply «oh «and takes us in.
Inside our waitress has severe memory loss as she forgets our food and blames it on the chef. Forgets drinks and we have to ask numerous times .
The food is just shy of average. Nothing special. Nice cold potatoes. Meatballs that tasted like they come from Costco.
Here is the best part about this dumpster. A older gentleman approaches our table to talk with some of the girls. He buys the bachlorette a drink and proceeds to chat with us. All of us girls cash out our tabs. The waitress tell us she can’t find this gentleman and that we have to pay his tab. What! She stated since he was by us we are responsible. What kind of business is this? Teach the waitress to take a credit card from the drunk mess old man before trusting him. This place is a joke. We actually had to pay the tab for this douche bag because the place wouldn’t lets us go without paying or they said they would call the police.

Loved this place! Had some great service and delicious food! It was our first time there and we plan on going back. The pricing is pretty reasonable, about as much as you would pay at a chain restaurant, but with much better quality food. Had a nice atmosphere, spacious seating outside and a warm interior. To make it even better they have a fantastic happy hour, half priced apps and bruschetta, along with some well priced drinks.
Had some great food, I totally recommend the roasted fingerling potatoes and the doughnut holes!

Kelly’s at SouthBridge is my favorite happy hour spot in Old Town Scottsdale! With so many great appetizers all half-​priced from 3−7p, you can’t go wrong.
I’m a bit overdue in writing this review, but I still have fond memories of the fun evenings and happy hours spent here and couldn’t keep this to myself any longer.
One of the great things about Kelly’s is that they have happy hour EVERYDAY! Monday to Saturday from 3−7pm and ALL DAY Sunday you can enjoy 50% off appetizers, $ 4 drafts/​wine/​well drinks, and $ 4 off signature cocktails.
The appetizers at Kelly’s are delicious and the happy hour menu offers a number of great drink options!
Our favorite appetizers are the Haloumi Stuffed Cherry Peppers ($ 4, HH) and Roasted Brussels Sprouts ($ 5, HH). These are so good we ordered them every time we came! Definitely recommend trying these two dishes, especially at the happy hour price you can’t go wrong!
For heartier appetites, I recommend the Short Rib Tacos — very tasty and great value at $ 6 during HH! And of course, Kelly’s Original Four-​Cut Burger ($ 14) is not to be missed for dinner. My friend raves about the perfect combination of short-​rib, sirloin, chuck, and brisket, served with onion relish and Comté cheese. Try it and see what you’ve been missing!
The bartenders have a heavy hand — good news! Except if you like a sweeter drink (like me) take note! My Old Fashioned ($ 8, HH) was so strong I had to «water it down» with club soda. I’m such a wuss. I don’t know why I’m complaining, but unless you can handle straight whiskey, I’d suggest skipping this drink and trying one of the other creative cocktails options!

Can’t say enough great things about this place.
I would venture to say I come in here at least once a week.
Very cool atmosphere and the porch is by far my favorite in Old Town Scottsdale.
Last time I went I ordered the ribeye steak sandwich. The steak was cooked and sliced to perfection. I strongly recommend it.

Late lunch ! Happy hour all day Sundays! Had our usual Ceviche! Yum and I had their short ribs in polenta! Yum and the hubby had a steak sandwich. He liked. Upscale pub, sports bar with great food! Keeps us coming back! Service is great too

My husband and I loved this place! They have a huge bar with comfy seats. It really feels like Cheers in here. They have this amazing drink called the Desert Howler with passion fruit in it. I love fruity drinks and I could drink a lot of these! They also had a drink with jalapenos in it. Can’t remember the name but this was a unique and tasty treat as well. They have a nice patio with mysters if you are a smoker. This bar has ample seating with comfy tables and booths, along with couches to just sit and sip their awesome cocktails. The bar and wait staff are hotties too! You will enjoy yourself here!
