Drink 2008

By JAMES PITKIN

The city's third-oldest bar is still a classic downtown hangout where the customers all seem to be
either working-class or way cooler than you—or both. Kelly's reputation as a heavy-metal bar was
boosted with the recent addition of a side stage featuring mostly hardcore shows. But the bar is still
best known for its collection of 12 vintage motorcycles hanging from the ceiling alongside neon signs
for Mobilgas, Shell and Phillips 66.
