Visited 20/04/26

No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, John Smiths, K1664, Heineken, Fosters, Stella, Carlsberg and original SB.

Small locals sport orientated bar on the high street. Bare boarded with the bar counter in the rear left-hand corner with some tall stool seating at the two bar facing sides of the bar counter. There is a pool table in the middle of the floor space at the front part and a couple of tables in the windows either side of the entrance plus another tall table just in front of the entrance facing side of the bar counter. A banquette down the right-hand wall and fitted around that corner serves a few regular tables. A couple of screens were showing sport absent commentary instead a rather psychedelic soundtrack was playing at a decent volume. A few items of sporting memorabilia on the walls also. Not too different from Alan's review of more than a decade ago other than the name change!

Alan Winfield left this review about Kelly's Sports Bar & Grill

Kelly's Sports Bar and Grill is situated on a run down road and is handy for St James Street train station.
Once inside there is a small oblong shaped room with the bar to the rear left,the seating is tall tables and chairs on the left side and american diner on the right side,the room is bare boarded,there were lots of TVs dotted around the room.
There were no real ales on the bar,the keg bitter was GK IPA smooth which was a pretty poor drink.
The bar was quite busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
Not really a place to go out of your way to do like i did.
