Shanghai Kelly’s
Editorial Review
In the 1870s, young fellers needed to beware of the infamous Shanghai Kelly, for he would spike yer drink and next thing you know you’d wake up on a merchant ship bound for China. Testosterone-soaked dive where bartenders are happy to retell the story, yet also proudly report the 52 marriages that have resulted from meetings within these walls. Semi local pub, semi sports bar. Fuhggit about parking after 7pm.
