Kelley's Bar & Restaurant

John Kelly has run a top notch bar/restaurant forever. It’s a place that is warm and welcoming with great food and service. It’s like stepping into Cheers. Many know your name and all who are gathered are friendly. Highly recommended.

A friend remarked, "Everyone is so friendly; it's just like Cheers. "

My neighborhood hangout. Friendly owners, warm atmosphere, delicious food. Their specials are always incredible.... but if you just want a burger it's one of the best you'll find in Syracuse.

We arrived at Kelley's on a chilly February, Saturday evening @ 6:15pm. Parking is convenient. This venue's look has an old-time charm with external stone, wrought-iron window framed windows with a large two-story presence. When we entered the back side to the left doorway, we came upon the host stand (no wait as we had expected!), and that is when I noticed lots and lots of dark WOOD everywhere (walls, flooring, enormous open stair case) and the lively bar room on the right with some dining. The host took us up the two flights of stairs - bold, heavy and well-worn wooden open steps (cool - very worn from foot traffic over time ) Our meals Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Riggies both accompanied with salad. The salad was fresh and our meals very hot.

Love love love this family restaurant! The Pierogies and beef dinner is amazing! Their chicken riggies are probably my favorite in the Syracuse area. The staff is always nice. Just a great vibe!

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Accommodated our party of 9 with no problem.

Awesome place with a great atmosphere and good food. Professional staff that knew what to do. They had a medical emergency when we were there and handled it professionally and kept themselves and the customers calm and like as if nothing was happening,. They helped the patron perfectly. The waitress was very attentive and removed empty cups and plates promptly. Drinks came out fast to our table. Will definitely return, great job staff!!

Havent been here in awhile, have never been disappointed. I had a red snapper in Portuguese sauce, the rice was under cooked and the fish was cooked uneven cold in some parts. It wasn't bad and the bro had a burger, asked for medium. Was actually close to rare. From what I have seen the menu has changed and felt rushed. Apps was great and the wine I chosen was great as well.
