"I learned that Hugh Kelly, who joined The Dubliner a few years after it opened and helped establish the nightly live-music tradition, struck out on his own four years later and opened Kelly's Irish Times next door; that proximity was embraced rather than feared, and the two establishments maintain a cooperative camaraderie (Brendan Kelly, now the owner, recounts borrowing kegs and mutual support)." - Dayana Sarkisova
