Kelly
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Kelly, San Antonio
Kelly takes its name from the former Kelly Air Force Base, which closed in 2001 and was redeveloped into the Port San Antonio business park nearby - the neighborhood itself retains a working-class, close-knit bar scene with BarFinder counting 36 venues, led by classic bars and sports bars with a real nightclub and adult-entertainment presence too. Names like Padilla's Bar & Grill, Sunset Bar, and Pete's Bar reflect a no-frills, neighborhood-first scene. It's built for locals rather than visitors passing through. Worth knowing if you're on San Antonio's south side near the old Kelly footprint.
