Description:
The name of this place (pronounced "kay-lee") refers to a gathering of people who've come together to play music and dance. You may not find an enormous amount of that going on, but you will find plenty of drinking taking place. While you sit among groups of congenial patrons, you can order up a Guinness, a Caffrey's, or an Irish whiskey and keep with the Celtic theme. The beer is especially nice when you take it outside to the streetside patio or the rooftop terrace. If you want food, they serve favorites like shepherd's pie, Irish stew, or fish and chips. If you're planning on going, do keep in mind that the place becomes quite busy during lunch and especially on the weekends.
