Doc Kelly's Public House

Doc Kelly's, a local gem in the heart of Waupaca, Wisconsin, is proudly housed in a historic building originally constructed in 1868 as The Jens Hansen Wagon and Carriage Shop, later known as "Live and Let Live." As a family-owned public house, we honor the building’s storied past while transforming it into a top-notch Irish pub. Known as the finest restaurant in Waupaca, WI for gathering with friends and family, we offer exquisite dining and handcrafted cocktails. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll feel like part of our extended family—reflecting our deep-rooted commitment to welcoming the community with warmth, history, and excellence.
