Kelly’s restaurant in Oldtown Scottsdale is set within a block of small shops and restaurants. The first noticeable aspect of Kelly’s is the fun patio that wraps around the restaurant from front to back. Along with this fun atmosphere, Kelly’s serves fun and unique drinks. The Loose Goose Mojito is a spin on the traditional mojito with the mix of delicious, muddled kiwi and apple pucker. It is fruity, fresh and fantastic. If you want something a little more daring, try the 4th Amigo, which is a spicy and citrus flavored margarita. It is tart with a bit of spice for those looking for something a little different. Be sure to try one of their amazing appetizers as well! Come in for happy hour from 3 to 7 pm weekdays or all day Sunday.
