Mainstay for American bites, craft beer & cocktails in a chill corner tavern with sidewalk tables.
"Kelliann’s in Spring Garden is both a neighborhood favorite and a go-to Irish pub destination for Citywides (the Philly term for a shot and a beer) all in one. Come here for a cold Citywide of your choice and any of the no-fuss tacos such as pork and fish." - Annemarie Dooling
"Some sports bars are casual, have a single TV, and a few people talking about SEPTA's malfunctions. Then there are the rowdy bars where everything from the Phanatic wall decor to the volume of the boos makes you feel like you’re at a stadium. Fairmount’s Kelliann’s falls into the latter category. It has all the markings of a classic Irish pub: four leaf clovers on the door, a long, dark wood bar, and lots of green on the walls. They make some of our favorite wings in town, so whether you’re there to lose your voice after a touchdown or meet friends for a citywide-filled Happy Hour (they have five combinations of the drink), prioritize the wings.

"For a long time, Buffalo sauce was the undisputed champ when it came to drenching all things drums and flats. That's until Hot Ones started bottling lava, and everything got coated in lemon pepper, garlic soy, maple Sriracha. At Kelliann’s in Fairmount, you can have the best of both wing worlds. The KA’s Style crispy-edged wings have a blend of Buffalo and garlic parmesan, essentially starting a spicy vs. creamy tug-of-war. Fortunately, the winner is everyone who orders them.

"Come to Kelliann’s in Fairmount during any game night and expect it to be packed. Stick around until they close at 2am, and it will still be crowded, there will just be less screaming about the scoreboard. This bar has all the markings of a rowdy Irish pub: four-leaf clovers on the door, a long dark wood bar, and friends who have been saying, “we’ll leave after this song” for an hour. Come for some of our favorite wings in town. " - candis mclean
