"Kelly’s Depot Bar will close on April 30. Operated by the Kelly family since 1989, the bar has seen the neighborhood revitalized and a light rail line installed nearby. However, the valuable real estate means the bar cannot continue." - Joy Summers

This is the place to wait for your train. Excellent food and drinks, won't break the bank. This is a very warm bar on a cold winter day. I've been coming here for a couple years now and it seems better each time.

Neighborhood dive bar, in reasonable repair. Group of 15 was easily able to find seats and the waitress didn't bat an eye. Decent selection of beers and the food was reasonably priced and pretty good. Only complaint about the menu is that the "steak sandwich" is chopped sirloin, not a ribeye as I would expect. It still tasted fine, and the accompanying fries were excellent.

Limited menu but understandable considering the size of the place. Bloody Mary's we're good but not as good as the reviews led us to believe. Same could be said with the burgers, they were good but not spectacular. Free parking for Kelly's Depot customers. Decent well drink selection and decent tap beer selection considering the space. Pull tabs available. It was fun to try out but most likely won't return especially since we don't live in the area. Good for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years. The Kellys and their staff always treat you first class. The drinks are well priced. The food, all items are outstanding. The burgers I think rank with the best you can find anywhere in the Twin Citiies

Out of town, and walked in for a meal and a beer. Typical dive bar, BUT the burger was amazing. On par with the best dive bar burger I've ever had. The service was excellent and quick, I will be back on my next trip. Maybe over and over.

This is the first review I've ever done on a place. Really bad experience. 18 hour bus ride, walked in to grab a drink and relax... Definitely not a (welcome, make yourself at home) feeling. Don't sit anywhere you want, Don't go to the bar and ask for a beer, and for God sakes Don't get comfortable! Save your money...

Perfect spot, friendly staff. Parking in rear. It's downtown but not too far into downtown.

Kelly's get 5 stars for being the quintessential dive bar! The food is limited, but always good. Great cheeseburgers! Kelly's is a dive bar that definitely does not have to work at it. If you are just looking for some unpretentious fun, and have a longing for a great cheeseburger or some tasty fried food I highly recommend Kelly's. Of course they have a full bar and serve a righteous pour!
