Kelly's pub was a wonderful place to visit. For my first time in st John's, how couldn't I visit George St. Right? The atmosphere on George St. Is unmatched and Wow I couldn't have picked a better pub, I hope the other pubs are similar in their hospitality. the environment at Kelly's was wholesome and welcoming, great live music even on a Thursday night. The food was great (usually when I hear the food is great I brush it off) but they were phenomenal and swift! the waitress was very helpful and attentive, the wide selection of local and imported beer was simply too many to name. As someone who's not a big beer enthusiast I had her surprise me with a few local beer and I was blown away. When leaving I had no problem at all flagging down a cab as they all line up and are ready to go, on the street beside the pub. Definitely a must if visiting St John's. In spite of going by myself I had a great time, the people around here are so friendly, a nightlife...

They informed us they could not accommodate us even though the booking was made 10 days prior. We had 45 plus people arriving within the hour for this party at the venue. Panic set in. . Kellys Pub on George Street stepped up to the plate and welcomed at least 60 last minute guest . The staff went over and above for us.

Read moreOnce a good place to go for decent meal at an affordable price, it has sadly gone downhill since the pandemic. Recently went for steak night. The couple at the table behind us were complaining that it tasted burnt and charred, and the server basically blamed them for ordering it well done so it's going to taste burnt. We ordered ours medium rare, and ours tasted burnt as well. It was as if they had scraped the grill, but hadn't bothered to brush all the flakes of burnt grease away. When we mentioned to the server, she just told us they said they had cleaned the grill.
The last few times I've gone to Kelly's for a meal, I've left disappointed. I've crossed it off the list a few times and said I'll try it again, but after this last time, it's off the list for good. Its sad to see such a drop in quality from what was before a decent...
