....now that my bar burned to the ground on Friday morning. The bartending gig was down to only a one night a week thing, so financially it only affects my walking around cash of a couple hundred a week. Bigger than that is the fact that a couple of my best friends in the world ran the place, I'd been going there since the day it opened and met most of my best friends there, or took them there, or went there after long rides, blah blah sad crap sentimental shiite... anyway.
I guess no more free Guinness for me for a while....actually that's not true. I wore one of my work shirts out to another bar on Saturday night and got a whole bunch of shots from the bartender and former Kelly's regulars. It pays to be good to your customers.
Here's a pic just a few minutes after they got it under control. It started in one of the other suites, most likely the Vietnamese restaurant just behind the bar, but spread through both floors and completely annihilated the place. 17 tournament pool table dropped through the floor, as did everything else including the roof. ugh.
