Kelly’s Bar

Nice little neighborhood bar right outside the gate of Fort Dix. Friendly owner and staff, and the prices are reasonable. Good place to stop in after work for a beer or two, especially if you work on the Joint Base.
Really cool military-​style décor, almost looks like a lot of the stuff should be in a museum. All nicely displayed in the bar, and well taken care of.
There is a Subway restaurant attached, in case you get the munchies while you’re at the bar. They have a couple pool tables, as well.
In all the times I’ve been here, the noise level has always been reasonable. One of the things I can’t stand about most other bars is that when you go to hang out with friends, the music is at a level that makes conversation impossible. That has never been a problem at Kelly’s.
I like this place.

Great if you’re an out of towner looking for a place to grab a beer or several. Great décor with friendly service. Very spacious and clean, with pool tables! The bar also appears to have a great selection of alcoholic and beer.

Great atmosphere and space! The bartender was very attentive and friendly as well. It was a little slow, but I’d love to visit again when it’s more lively. Definitely looks like a great time!

Nice bar right outside of post. The staff is super friendly and the regulars are nice too. They have great drink specials and the food is really good. My friends and I always have a great time when we go there. If you are in the area you should check it out.

Nice big bar. Good music from DJ yoshi. The bartender was a sweetheart and it is super close to fort dix… I didn’t eat there but the food they were serving to other guests looked tasty! Check it out!

Like many others of its kind, Kelly’s rise and fall both depend heavily on the fact that its main clientele is military.
Don’t know too much about mixers and/​or well drinks here, but the limited beer selection seems somewhat sensibly priced. Bartenders are über-​friendly and attentive, the food here doesn’t seem to be too bad either.
Great place if you’re stationed at JB MDL and have a group of friends you want to get smashed on a thursday night with; not so much if you’re looking for anything else.

Cool local bar for meeting people and having some drinks. They have a DJ on some nights with drink specials. Pay weekends is when they usually pack out, that and when the on base clubs close because they stay open later. Definitely a good place to check out if you are looking for a good local dive bar.

Actually had a good time here. Its right off Ft. Dix post so the crowd will be mostly military but that made it pretty friendly. Hung out at the bar mostly and will vouch for some good wings but stay away from lack luster nachos. Some drink specials, including some fun shots, military antiques and novelties on the wall, pool tables, tv, and a decent juke box makes the place get as live as it can.
