The atmosphere is loud, with drunk customers sharing way too many personal stories, making it feel more like a gathering spot for friends than a proper establishment. I gave this place two stars for its cleanliness and friendly staff, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you find yourself driving through Rathdrum, Idaho, and spot a strip mall with a Kelsey’s sign, my advice is to keep going. I can’t help but wonder how many DUIs this bar generates on weekends — my guess is far too many. If you’re looking for a quality experience with friendly staff, good food, and great beer, I recommend checking out the brewpub in Old Town Rathdrum instead; it’s fantastic.

We ordered the fish and chips, but they were quite dry. To top it all off, we didn’t receive a knife with our cutlery, and even after requesting one, it never arrived. Overall, the service was poor, the food was disappointing, and the prices were steep. I later found out that O'Malley's had been sold to new owners and had only been open for 5 days. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t last more than a couple of months. I won’t be returning; it was the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Waitress Jazzy was SLOW INATTENTIVE. We were contemplating leaving 10 minutes after walking in and seating ourselves, when she finally grabbed menus to head our way. Philly steak sandwich had no flavor except the peppers and Club Sandwich was the worst I have ever had! Had to go to the bar to get my Ranch for tater tots after telling Jazzy 2 times that I wanted some. O'Malley is the last restaurant on our list.
