Kelly’s Irish Pub

519 W Oltorf St

Kelly’s is a South Austin classic that blends dive bar charm with Irish roots. It’s no-frills, all-fun, and beloved by locals for its affordable drinks, jukebox jams, and casual vibe. You won’t find fancy décor, but you will find great conversations, dart games, and a strong pour. The regulars are loyal and the atmosphere is as easygoing as it gets. It’s the kind of spot where time slows down and the Guinness never runs dry.
