When Sheree R. was 5 years old, her grandpa would take her to Kelly’s Westport Inn for a cold Coca-Cola.
Her grandpa was a regular there.
“Good memories like that probably influenced my career choice of bartender/server/cook through most of my work-life so far,” she said.
Sheree, who preferred to remain anonymous, is from Kansas City and worked in Westport throughout the ‘90s. This is why she asked Flatland to find the oldest photo that exists of Kelly’s.
