Kelsey's Live in Warwick

Don't let the 3.5 stars fool the I honestly cannot recommend this pub to anybody. If there are large group events going on then the socialising can be fun but the facilities are awful and the people you find in there are unpleasant. I was grabbed and harassed by a guy for no other reason than he wanted a scrap with a young student. Security clearly don't care and do nothing for the safety or wellbeing of tenants. An overall awful experience. For lack of a better term it is a "dodgy" pub.

Bar was empty so decided to play pool with a friend. When my friend went into the smoking area the barmaid who was playing pool on the other table came over to my table and took my friends cue whilst staring me down without saying a word. Didn’t really want confrontation so didn’t really acknowledge her but you can tell hostility like this isn’t seen as a big deal in the establishment. If you want a nice drink and experience go up the parade to the nicer pubs, this pub is grotty and just has odd vibes to be honest.

Dirty not a good experience at all

i went into kelsey’s on a sunday evening, i ordered a jäger bomb, i gave what i thought was £3, the bar lady calls me back to the bar as she said i did not pay enough. as i went to go pay the correct amount i get called ‘trampy’. due to this i ask the brunette bartender, for further description for the workplace she is a brunette/hispanic worker, was there any need in saying that. she promptly disclosed my question and told me i was getting kicked out, giving me a ten pence as a rebuttle. i didn’t get my drink, didn’t get my money back and quite frankly got an awful first experience at kelsey’s. do not go here if you are expecting a friendly and kind service.

The most stupid and funny place

is known for covering up and not giving cctv footage (allegedly)

Not the best bar ever, but there isn’t really anything else in the area open late. It has a jukebox which costs £1 per request - imo it should be free

Has some great drum and bass nights upstairs!

Swear why are the bartenders talking so much, all I want is water. They’re dancing to the music as I speak.

They cut off the tunes... what's the point? You come to a bar like Kelsey's for the tunes and then they cut them off and tell you you're done. I'll decide when I'm done.

Dirty. So, so dirty. Toilets indescribably terrible. Drinks are very cheap, so I guess this is why people go there.

Best place in town for cheap drinks and cheap people. This is a place of legends. Of poo in the smoking area and sick coating the pavement outside. This is not a place for the feint hearted, this is the destination of the brave warriors that dare to venture into the unknown, with little chance of leaving conscious, or at the least, sick covered. But in this madness lies an untold treasure. Of drunken antics, mad nights, crazy adventures, and unforgettable stories that can and should never be lived down. Kelseys will always promise to be a night you never forget, whether you wish you could or not.

Only took cash so didn't stay. Madness in this day that other payment options aren't available

Never had a bad night at Kelsey's

Good spot for events, recently attended an event in the upstairs room, drinks reasonably priced and service was good. Much less pretentious than the rest of Leam

Bouncer is aggressive and judgmental

Really nice place to hangout on the weekends with nice beer.

the best bar is kelsey this bar has a nice atmosphere nice waiters and staff and nice security guards it's awesome club for me i like to go there the best bar in lemington perfect

Worst bar I've ever been to. 5 stars.

Never had a bad night at Kelsey's, that I can remember! It is cash only so bare that in mind before you go in.

Disgusting place, pathetic staff, unfair prices, not recommended.

Booked a table, they forgot about it and claimed we didnt. Bouncers not nice. No cards accepted.

This establishment is quite literally the definition of perfect. The freezing cold taps, the sick and piss all over the floors, and the gorgeous sticky bar top is what makes this place amazing. I have never felt at such peace when being in a bar. There is also no need for a therapist, you can just go into the smoking area where there are many qualified, drunk experts on how to sort out your life issues. Love from Ethan xx

After being assaulted here the police have tried several times to get cctv from them and not been able to. This place is unsafe and care very little about the well-being of the visitors. Absolute disgrace!

Met my one true love here in 2008. But of a dive as they use to say but always a place I never forget. Nice layout inside spacious

If getting hassled by bouncers and not being able to pay by card is what you are looking for then this is the place!

Top quality establishment. Highly recommended if you wanted to actively shorten your life span

great priced drinks, good vibes

Always a good night, good music, pool and Foosball tables, and of course their signature drink called the eliminator (btw it's CASH ONLY)

This is the place you go when the night isn't really going your way. Access to the juke box is limited it at least it's there. Rest of the venue is below par but drinks are reasonable and some games are on offer.

Rude doormen and not even cheap.

Sticky floors. Grubby. Not somewhere I will be going again anytime soon. Though.. if its cheap drinks with a student vibe you're after, then I guess it's ok.

It's the Leamington dive bar. You drink there when everywhere else is closed. If you understand this you will enjoy your time.

Bar staff charge different amounts every time. They are rude and u professional. Bouncers refuse to answer simple questions. Could not recommend to anyone. Drinks are also more expensive than other establishments so not even worth visiting for students

It was a very good place and the staff was very friendly and helpful to the people who went in there

Couldn't really ask for more. Was messy enough to make it nice

Good for circling with societies at the University of Warwick, but I wouldn't go there for any other reason. Pretty cheap alcohol as well.

Pitchers are really good and the music selection was really good but oh my god the toilets are the most hellish experience I've ever been through

It's Kelsey's.....a late night dive where you only go if it's late and you want a couple more drinks. They have got pool tables so that's a plus but the toilets look and smell like a crime scene.

It's such an awful place. But... Long live Kelsey's!

If you want cheap booze, pool and somewhere open late, this is a good place to go.

Defiantly not a bar for the working man, teenagers and students social gathering. I was standing at the bar and a fellow customer came up and asked the bar made for a pint n half of carling.. the bar maid was searching the glasses when her colleague approached her and said what are you looking for .. OMG WTF the young bar maid was looking for a 1.5 pint glass.. seriously. Fair play to the management for giving inexperienced people a try but don’t just employ them due to their looks

If you're going there the cause is already lost.

Nice place for a drink n boogie

It's a decent place, only been there for a sports tournament party, but the atmosphere was good and the staff are nice. Toilets are a bit odd though...

Worst excuse for a Gay bar/club ever!

Nice place.. drinks at lower price.. best time to step-in is after 11PM...you can hang out with friends for pool game and drinks..

Would have been a great place, I do enjoy drinking in here and playing pool, cheap drinks, can definitely get rowdy in there. Bit of P*** take when you go out for a cig and the bouncers decide to lock the door behind you cause they're suddenly closed without being warned before leaving, half our group, a paid for drink and my belongings are still inside so had to fight to get my way back in, have the courtesy to tell people before you lock a door on them! Did not make me want to return.

One of the most iconic pubs in Leamington

Worst of all worlds, vibe of a dive bar with yuppie prices, set up like a bar but with music like a club.

I don't remember the night, so this place must be good

Anthony Mullaney has never been happier!!!!

Great atmosphere but false advertisement on closing times.

Cheap late night bar, perfect for students looking for a few games of pool and good atmosphere. Has an outside smoking area, spearate downstairs (bookable) bar and dance floor. Serves signature drink, Eliminator; £12, 4-pint pitcher of spirits, orange juice, and energy drink. Have one to yourself at your own risk 😂

Great for the late drinks, good value cocktails especially the eliminator, smoking out the back, 3 pool tables not very well looked after, some seating out the front, overall good local dive

Drinks are reasonably priced but felt unsafe

As one of Leamington's few late night spots you haven't really got much choice but to go here on a night out. Distinctly average. Overpriced.

Probably the best you'll get in Leamington, but is that really saying much?

Love this place! Staff are awsome. Especially Dan.Best place for a late night drink with your buddy's or just by yourself.

A very nice place, worth visiting for people who like to have a nice time with friends over a game of billiards and a drink... A very nice atmosphere, which can be attributed to the solid and professional security. I recommend ;)

Edginess = high, toilets = basic, vibe = fum and friendly

Cheap and cheerful student bar.

Not for sober people but great for students and those looking for a dive bar. Try the eliminator

A pub to get pissed in nothing else

Alright for a drink or too if you've already had a few yourself.

Bit grotty still, but a lot better than it used to be

This is a dump full of drunks. The doormen are especially rude and the bar area is full of students drinking as much as possible and falling over (and being nasty while doing so). Really I would say this is the worst place I have been to in Leamington so far and I have been here for 10 months.
