Great little place for live music in the suburbs! My first show at Durty Nellies was Mushroomhead. Since then, I've seen mostly local music nights for $5 - 7 covers, but they do have regional and...

Just your average American Sports Bar/"Irish" Pub. Service was a bit spotty, we had to flag down a server whenever we wanted to order food or drink. The food was good enough. I don't get the...

Durty Nellies frequently charges a cover to get in and depending on the night will either feel a little empty or way to crowded. They have very good live music, however it does get very very crowded....

Durty Nellies is a bar with occasional good music. It's not really the family setting they claim to be, and the bands are ripped off in their pay. But if you're looking for a place to drink, this is your...
