No, what used to be Mr. Kelly's is now Gibson's Restaurant.

Mister Kelly's Dinner Club was open 1957-to-1975. Former Chicago Bear Doug Buffone, a part-owner in the popular disco BBC on Division Street, along with partners Steve Lombardo, Marty Gutilla and Bob Marisco bought the space on Rush & Bellvue Street's from owners George and Oscar Marienthal, who also had owned The London House and The Happy Medium Nightclub's.

Sweetwater's Lounge became the replacement for Mister Kelly's after a dramatic makeover. The same owners then turned Sweetwater's into Gibson's Steakhouse in late 80's. One of their partners, Hugo Bavilli, then opened Hugo's Frogbar and Fishhouse next door to Gibson's. They make up two of the ten restaurants operated by the Gibson's Restaurant Group in Chicagoland.
