    One of the finest establishments in Kingston to drink at when you're not looking for a fine establishment. Reminded of the cozy pubs of Ireland.

    I recently stopped into Kelly’s Shamrock Tavern, and let me tell you—this place is everything a real neighborhood bar should be. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I had stepped into a warm memory. No frills, no fake smiles—just good people, cold drinks, and an atmosphere you can’t fake. The bartenders are the kind of folks you instantly feel comfortable talking to—friendly, attentive, and they know how to pour a perfect drink. The crowd? A great mix of locals, regulars, and folks just there for a good time. Everyone’s chill, no egos, no drama. I played a few games of pool, caught some laughs with people I’d never met before, and genuinely didn’t want to leave. There’s just something about Kelly’s—it’s got soul. You can feel the history in the walls, and it’s still alive and thriving today. If you’re in Kingston and want a break from the trendy spots or overpriced cocktails, come to Kelly’s. It’s authentic, it’s welcoming, and honestly, we need more places like this. I’ll definitely be back—and I’m bringing friends next time.

    I was at a concert at UPAC. We decided to have a beer afterwards. Stopped on here and the older gentleman behind the bar was kind and gracious. We chatted with locals who lived close by and found them to be so kind and friendly. After having an 8 dollar very warm beer at the concert hall it was refreshing to have an ice cold beer. If I'm ever in Kingston again I will definitely go back.
