What Camila Wolf doesn't like about Kelly's On King:
was not there for eating, but the open bar caraoke in the night! great atmosphere and rocky crowd. also close to the train station, if u must make a quick short holiday! View all feedback. What Lloyd Stark likes about Kelly's On King:
Beautifully cooked dinner with large serves and good music. The fish came with salad & chips, the bowl of soup was big with a bread roll. Nice piece of grilled Barra with a side of veg - I couldn't finish it all. View all feedback.

Fun and unpretentious venue to enjoy a few drinks! Had some great nights drinking pints and chilling out. The bar staff are friendly and a good laugh!

Kelly's is a longstanding institution in Newtown, offering a mix of punters from goths to after-work drinks, live Irish music, and karaoke nights. The two-floor pub is well-decorated with dark wood and Celtic memorabilia, creating a cozy atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, with a pint of Kilkenny going for $7.50. The food is described as beautifully cooked with large portions, and the $12 specials are great value for classic pub grub. The staff are charismatic and provide good service. The layout of the pub is unique, with a mix of olive green walls and stained wood furniture downstairs and a bar area, stage for live shows, and outdoor smoking area upstairs. Overall, Kelly's offers a mix of good food, drinks, and atmosphere, making it a go-to spot in Newtown for many.

My first time at Kelly’s on King. I saw Wicked Envy play on stage, a great place for bands to play

All roads lead to Kellys. It is a meeting place, an Irish pub that is very late. Don't you find your mates in Newtown at 11:00? Look up...

Honestly, I'm not really a big fan of Irish pubs, because they tend to feel the same. This place was really not different. I guess it does...
