Kelly's at the Village
Located near the Mariott Dallas/Allen, Kelly's is a staple amongst the Texans in the bridal party. Kelly's was a necessary go-to during Chelsea's college days and an unofficial reunion spot for those traveling back to McKinney for Thanksgiving break. Kelly's holds a special place in Chelsea and her father, Brian's heart as it was the last bar on her 21st birthday bar crawl where Brian graciously DD'ed for the evening.... he may have regretted it.
