Keeping Spirit(s) Alive at the Kelly Hotel

Rumored to house a number of spirits ranging from Civil War Soldiers to a black-bowtied Bartender, the Kelly Hotel dates back to the 1820s when dining out was either risky or a special treat. Almost two hundred years later, this tavern establishment still holds an image of the latter: house specials (try the prime rib salad or any of their special wings), friendly service and proximity to a number of fantastic wineries. Dress is casual.
