Kelly’s Pub & Wine Bar

Went in had to wait for bartender that was no where to be seen. Finally got a beer and then bartender was gone again. No small talk or anything. Finished beer and went down the road to next bar that was great.

Love love love Kelly’s Pub! Best place for a great glass of wine with friends. Kelly and Christina are gracious and welcoming

I went here for the first time last night. My new favorite place. Kelly and Christen are such nice people. They made me feel so welcome. Great food as well. Pizza… WOW.

Kelly’s Pub has a great atmosphere with an honest, hardworking staff. A great place for live music and our favorite Redding venue to play!

Today as I visited the pub I was looking forward to the corn beef pizza that was highly recommended by some locals
there in Reading, Ca.
The owners, Christina and Kelly made us travelers feel at home. definitely
A great time! Live Irish music on the weekends. Look for POGH (hope I spelled his name correctly) He is an all around blast. Small finger foods were great!
Absolutely a MUST when im in town

Wow, this place is too small for live music. BRING YOUR EAR PLUGS! It gets super crowded, too. People are knocking each other’s drinks over, creepy men rubbing all over you when they scoot by. It can get packed like sardines. Not enjoyable nor comfortable.

I overheard about Kelly’s from some locals on my last visit to redding. So since then I have been 3 times and will continue to go back. The location is off the beaten path and is a locals hangout that makes you feel like a local also. Kelly and his wife Christina make you feel very welcome to be there. They have a great selection of draft beers and many good choices for wine. A nice limited menu is also available. They have local good live music most weekends. I will Teryn every time I’m in town.

Love the staff and the wine selection is always new and fresh. Too loud with live music most nights for it to be enjoyable if your with someone you would like to talk with.
Mid to late afternoons are golden though!

Always a busy and don’t get to get out much but I love this place. Perfect Pub atmosphere for Redding. I mainly love that it’s not Bleacher’s. It’s a great mom and pop pub. You can talk with the owners. They remember your name. Overall relaxing place to grab a beer or glass of wine. Unless it’s a live music night, then things get loud.

I try not to hand out five-​star reviews willy-​nilly. I mean, four stars means «Yay! I’m a fan.» That means the place is pretty dang good. Thus, my initial four-​star review of Kelly’s after three visits. But, after patronizing the place a few more times, I just have to bump Kelly’s up to five stars.
I mentioned in my previous review that I’ve always felt welcomed and comfortable here. The atmosphere of a place springs first and foremost from the owners, especially when the owners are as hands-​on with running the place as Kelly and Christina. They’re both gracious, warm folks, and the regular patrons reflect that — they’re a friendly, middle-​of-​the-​road bunch who seem to gravitate to Kelly’s for the pleasant atmosphere, good selection of beer on tap including local choices, a great wine selection (I’m a wine neanderthal, so that opinion is offered by other patrons), and delicious food.
Oh yeah, the food. In my previous review, I called it «upscale convenience food.» That opinion was based on a pizza another patron shared with me. He told me that it was frozen, and I had trouble believing that. It turns out that my fellow patron was wrong. The food at Kelly’s is in fact made from scratch by Christina hours before opening, and then refrigerated. Christina doesn’t operate with a set menu, but rotates items in and out. Three nights ago, I had her turkey pesto pizza, and it was so good that I’d now return to Kelly’s just for the food, even if their only beer on tap was Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I’ve noticed that unaccompanied women seem to feel comfortable at Kelly’s, which is a testament to the regular customer base Kelly and Christina have cultivated. You’re not likely to see some lecherous drunk-​on-​his-​ass dude sitting at the bar leering at every woman who walks in the door. (You won’t see me doing that either, because I’m quite fond of my wife, and because she’s quite proficient with firearms.)
I’m a live music fan, and Kelly’s Pub & Wine Bar offers live music most Fridays and Saturdays, with the occasional Wednesday open mic night.
If you’re looking for a cool pub in Redding with a 30 and over crowd, and not a meet-​market, you owe it to yourself to pay Kelly and Christina a visit.
