Kellys Cellars, Testplace
Kellys Cellars

1 Review(s)     


Kelly's Cellars is rapidly becoming one of my favourite bars of all time! A truly individual venue that has some awesome eccentric regulars, great traditional live music, a fantastic atmosphere and is crammed into a delightfully ancient building. A brilliant pub for both a quiet drink of an afternoon or a raucous night of craic. Brave the dark alley that leads you to it; you will be pleasantly surprised.

Oh, and any pub that has been visited by the great Leonard Cohen (as proved by the signed photograph above the bar!) is good enough for me!

A very well turned out bar full of young professionals enjoying a nice bottle of vino after work. Nice decor, but I must admit is pretty much in the same as any other trendy wine bar in the city, although for a bar of it's genre it is very attitude free and rather relaxed.

The Garrick looks fantastic, and serves excellent food, but upon visiting for a cheeky early-afternoon pint with some old school friends, I found the locals extremley rude and hostile. I think it was more that we had interupted their afternoon drinking and weren't regulars. I certainly hope they weren't narrow-minded enough for it to be because we had English accents.

However, I have heard great things about this little Victorian bar, so I will not abandon it just yet. A vast selection of beers, lagers, and ciders together with a wide array of whiskeys, wines and other spirits make this a place I will visit again.

This week saw me loose my Spring & Airbrake cherry, and what better night to do it at than Shag!?
A great night packed with fun people, cheap drinks and a fantastic mash of music! I will be suffering through many more Wednesday hangovers in the coming weeks!

Top work, Shag!

Spring & Airbrake

Spring & Airbrake is a copper-bottomed corker of a night out, ideal for those midweek binges where you have an almost primal desire for strong liquor and loud music. Tuesday night was an excellent example of this as I headed down with some mates from across the water.

Packed to the rafters with fun loving party goers across a broad age spectrum, and playing an outstanding mix of music, the sweatbox that was S&A ticked all my boxes. Drinks were cheap, except Absinthe and whiskey (which is fair enough!) and the people were a friendly lot, too. Very, very hot though.

Comes highly recommended!

The Washing Machine

23/5/09 The waves were pretty big on Friday. A wild and powerful storm had blown in on Thursday and was busy rearranging the picturesque Western Australian coastline. Training on Thursday night had been hampered by strong gusts of winds and flurries of angry rain. But still, if I’m bei… Continue

Best. Quote. Ever!

"There are 100,000 stars in our galaxy and 1,000 million galaxies. I am sure cricket must be being played elsewhere" - Sir Patrick Moore gets to the heart of the alien life issue. You've got to love Sir Patrick Moore. Apart from the whole breaking-astronomy-down-into-bitesize-chunks-that-even-people-without-physics-GCSE-can-enjoy thing, he's the classic English eccentric. A tip of the cap to the Games Master!!

The Feminisation Of Man

On Wednesday, Great Britain will lead opposition in Europe over new regulations on the control of pesticides that contain or are ‘endocrine disruptors’ – chemicals that have, in basic terms, ‘gender-bending’ side effects. Britain’s decision to oppose these regulations comes hot on the heels of a report by the charity CHEMTrust that shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every genus of vertebrate animals from fish to mammals, including humans. These chemicals include phthal… Continue

The 11th Hour: 90 years on.

Tomorrow is the 90th Anniversary of the end of the First World War. The "War to End All Wars" didn't, and tomorrow we remember the dead of all faiths and nationalities that made the ultimate sacrifice so that others may live in all conflicts since then, too. It is important to remember that Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday are not celebrations of military might or past glories, rather it is a time to give quiet praise and thanks to those who have lost their lives in service to their country… Continue

There's Probably No God...

There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy yourself.” The very concept of this campaign makes me smile. A simple, statement that slices through much of the turmoil and dogma attached to religion today. It should be seen as an uplifting, light hearted tonic to the drudgery of conventional bus advertising and nightmare of looming recession. The statement isn’t provocative, nor is it offensive to any particular religion; the word ‘probably’ is a great way of dodging any flak that th… Continue
