Kelly's Side Door Tavern

Kelly's Side Door Tavern sits on Old Butler Road just minutes from downtown New Castle, Pennsylvania, offering a warm, rustic gathering spot for locals and travelers alike. Founded by brothers Tim and John Kelly, the tavern blends family‑run hospitality with a well‑stocked bar that showcases a broad selection of craft and domestic beers, bourbon, Scotch, and Irish whiskey. The menu focuses on classic American bar fare: juicy cheeseburgers, hand‑cut chicken wings tossed in house‑made sauces, loaded nachos, and a signature “Side Door” pizza topped with pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of garlic butter. Breakfast tacos and a weekend brunch are also on offer, making the venue a versatile stop from morning through the late‑night hours. Open daily from 11 am to 2 am, the kitchen serves until 10 pm on weekdays and 1 am on weekends, ensuring late‑night cravings are satisfied. The interior features reclaimed wood tables, exposed brick walls, and vintage neon signage that echo the brothers’ love of Americana. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds a lively soundtrack to the bustling bar scene, while private booths provide a quieter space for groups. Friendly staff greet guests by name, and the outdoor patio gives a view of the nearby Mahoning River trail, perfect for a post‑game drink. Whether you’re hunting a cold pint after work, celebrating a birthday, or simply enjoying a casual dinner, Kelly's Side Door Tavern delivers a welcoming, neighborhood‑centric experience.
