About This Pub

Ah, Ma Kelly's South – it's one of those classic Blackpool spots that really pulls you in with its friendly buzz and that unmistakable pub charm. From what I've gathered from the chats online, it's got this welcoming feel where you can kick back with mates, especially if you're keen on catching a footy match; they've sorted out loads of screens and even throw in some live music to keep the energy up. It's inexpensive overall, which is a bonus for a night out without breaking the bank. On the flip side, though, some of the drinks can sneak up on you price-wise, and it's got a bit of a rough-around-the-edges vibe that might not suit everyone – think more no-nonsense local haunt than fancy cocktail bar. Still, with a solid 4.0 rating from the crowd, it's clear plenty of folks have had a good time here, so if you're up for an honest, straightforward pub experience in Blackpool, it's worth popping in for a pint and seeing what all the fuss is about.

Lovely friendly atmosphere 😊 and not just because of my beautiful Sister Jodie works there it's the lovely hot days like today you need to pop in and have a nice cool beverage of your choice. Highly recommended to visit. x

Lytham road massive! We visited on the afternoon seasiders Wembley game. The whole of Blackpool was packed. There was plenty of televisions to view the game and we had to share a table which all added to the atmosphere. For non football fans ma Kellys had a music act singing the usual standards. It was great. Prices were above average for this area but worth it.

It's a decent little place to drink. The downside is some of the drinks are rather expensive for example. Two Budwisers are £6 which is good but Double Disarono and Coke is £6.30.
