  One of the most underrated dive bars. As a college student at Rutgers, I haven't heard much about this place from my friends/students, but I passed by it as I was walking to my boyfriend's house, and I thought "Why not?"
  
  It's extremely small, which is probably my only downside. Everyone was super friendly and the service was great. The atmosphere is very relaxed, so if you want to grab a beer with a friend you haven't seen in a while, this is the place for you. If you want a bar with a dance floor or loud music, you're better off at Knight Club. I've been here to pre-game before all the RU football games as well. It's really fun with everyone dressed up in red and showing their pride.
  
  They also have amazing specials for happy hour. $3 Heinekens are the best! I have yet to try their food though. I didn't even know they served food at first. It's not something that's advertised.

  Local dive bar in walking distance of college campus and local businesses. The place is your typical older bar with stools. They serve food. The beer prices were reasonable. They are open early I got there 730am the crowd was already started. The place is awesome when you work nights and need a place to go. Parking is minimal so walk if you can.

  Great local bar to get a well priced drink and watch some sports. A $3 Guinness is  unheard of in this area, and Kelly's provides it every weekend.
  
  The burgers are good. The clientele is locals/college kids/ college grads that keep coming back.
  
  Its a great corner bar that scratches the itch of a few pints , and maybe some shots.
  
  Recommended this to quench your thirst in the middle of the day or late at night. Te staff is great, and very friendly.  Stop by and have a great time.

  what a horrible place, i will never step foot here again. just came back from what i thought would be a nice night out with friends but turned out to be a disaster.
  
  we arrived and the place was completely empty, even for New Brunswick on a Tuesday night that was kinda pathetic. Still, we decided to stay. support our local business, right? Think again.
  
  Their beer tasted like it was liquidated with really nasty tap water and not to talk about how dirty!!! the glasses were. I would stay away from the toilette like fire. Seems like they haven't been cleaned since the place opened.
  
  Worst of all though is the customer service. Kelly's Korner has really topped all bad service experiences I have ever had. My friend was literally threatened and was called a "homo" by the bouncer. I was about to call the police on this guy!
  
  overall, i would rank this as the worst night out I have ever had. if you love dirty dishes, horrible beer and a possible fight - Kelly's Korner is the place for you. otherwise, I would steer clear.

  I had just the greatest time here with Denise and Mark. Great neighborhood bar. The Rutgers kids taught me how to play beer pong and Mark and Denise were fantastic.
  
  For reasons that are very real and very tangental, this is my favorite road bar of all time. Nuff said.
