KELLY'S PUB (Tampa)

[Admin]

The small intimate and friendly pub situated a couple blocks from the St. Pete Times Forum serves beer and wine only but an extensive menu of bands on Thursday-Saturday evenings. Kelly's has become a mini-institution for music lovers and one of the cool places to hang downtown, where many folks think nightlife is nonexistent. Owned by former Vinyl Fever manager Kelly Cochran and his girlfriend, Anna Stracey, the homey bar and cafe provides plenty of eye candy – flat-screen TVs, cool rock posters plus original artwork and sports memorabilia – like championship photos of the Bucs and Lightning. Because it's a small space, punk and hard rock bands tend to be loud, so bring your earplugs if you have a low volume tolerance. There's usually band playing for every taste – with an emphasis on jam bands, indie pop, Americana, and Southern rock.
206 N Morgan St., Tampa, FL 33602.
