Kelley's was flooded last Wednesday night. As a result the pub is a total loss and is in the process of being gutted. Because of that the deck is closed too. With the tremendous amount damage comes a massive amount of work, not to mention an insurance nightmare. With that said they ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS on the first floor dining rooms and bar. Because of logistics, construction and previously booked parties, entertainment and hours of operation could vary somewhat but for the most part will stay consistent. They ask that you still visit and be patient during these very difficult times for Kelley's and it's staff. Rob & Jody have been canceled for tonight but entertainment on Friday & Saturday is still on.
