I’ve been wanting to go here for a while since we just live down the road and the reviews are great, but my boyfriend doesn’t like to go to pubs/bars. I managed to convince him that this isn’t your typical pub/bar. And since we basically lost the entire contents of our home in Helene and they were one of the only places open in the area, it was an easy sell. From the moment we entered, the staff was so welcoming, we knew good things were going to come. We have dined there twice in the last ten days and have tried the wedge salad, the fish and chips and the shepherds pie. Everything was fresh and tasted wonderful. The combination of the blue cheese dressing with a drizzle of balsamic reduction on the wedge salad is the bomb, and we can’t wait to try it with chicken or shrimp. I highly recommend stopping in for some soul soothing food, libations, and friendly faces.

This pub was so good and the oysters were phenomenal!! It was a mixture of New Orleans meets an Irish Pub. Also, server was a sweet heart and was so patient with us asking a bunch of questions. Definitely recommend this place!!!

Peel and eat shrimp were delicious. Nice bay seasoning and their drawn butter and cocktail sauce were very good. The reuben eggrolls were a different spin on a sandwich. The reuben filling was very good. Saurkraut was not store bought and had a perfect flavor that complimented the meat. Service was good, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.

It looks like a pub. It feels like a pub. But the pub food has a 5 Star Restaurant twist. I had the Kelly's Oysters which have Parmesan cheeese, bacon and chives, and a cup of Lobster Bisque. The Kelly's Oysters were a "Wow" moment on the first taste. Sweet, tender and juicy with just enough heat to wake up your taste buds. The Lobster Bisque had a generous spoonful of real lobster meat garnish and a satisfying thickness that spread the savory flavor with every bite. My husband had the Spicy Garlic and Parmesan Chicken Tenders. The spice was mild but these tenders were large and juicy. And lets not forget the huge menu of draft and bottle beer, cocktails and top shelf alcohol. If you're in the Crystal River area, you need to stop in. Our waitress Mikayla will make you feel at home.

We had the Voodoo Burger, Shepherds Pie & Rueben Egg Rolls. Food was EXCELLENT & the drinks were on point. Our server was great too! Lots on the menu we wat to try so we will definitely be back. 12/30/2024 - tried new things. They were very busy for lunch BUT food was still hot, fresh & delicious and we sat at the bar but the service was still excellent as well!

Stopped in for lunch and a quick drink. It was nice to find a bartender who can make a long Island without making you cringe or being able to drink it before she makes it to the end of the bar. Thanks Mrs Amber!! I was really craving a shepherds pie and that was the real reason for stopping in. Momma always said to clean your plate and I had 0 problems finishing lunch.

What a great find. Stopped in on my way up to Tallahassee and had dinner at the bar. Adam, the bartender, was friendly and attentive. I had two different types of oysters, some lobster bisque, and homemade key lime pie. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back!

Finally made it here to give Kelly's Half Shell a try and we are so glad we did. We went the smoke salmon fish dip, 6 raw oysters, and since we were at an Irish Pub, the wife went with Shepherd's pie and I went with the classic Fish & Chips. Everything was absolutely delicious and Adam was great all around. If you order the Shepherd's pie, it is cooked to order, so it will be about 20-25 minutes, but well worth it. Had a few specialty drinks to top it all off with. You WILL be seeing us again.
