It's been a million years and a global pandemic, but besides the outside seating, Kelly's hasn't changed. It was great to just sit at the bar and pretend this was the same bar from years ago.Still great bartenders.Still great food.My go-to used to be Jameson neat and a basket of tots, but I've gotten old. Now I order wine in a can, a Greek salad (superb) ...and a basket of tots. Hey, not that old.It was great to be back and I'm thrilled the motorcycle is still there.Thanks for the (fuzzy) memories!

CLASSIC! The history and atmosphere @Kelly'sOlympian makes is one of our most favorite bars in all of Portland. The vintage bike are a great touch. The bar offers food an drinks that the wife and I both enjoy.

Charming, unique, grungy but that may be part of the charm. A 4 instead of a 5 star because it did take significant wait to get a drink but staff are super friendly.

Great food and friendly people. They are all very kind, great selection of beer, great food, and make great drinks.Doorman is a rare kind of gentleman that holds doors open (for everyone one) and is so kind to help me try to locate a mailbox. If I’m ever working in Portland again I’ll head there for their excellent burgers and garlic mayonnaise. if I lived near there I’d be a regular. Kudos Kelly’s Olympian. You made a great bar!

We went to Kelly’s Olympian last night for dinner. We ordered the bacon guacamole burger, country burger, and the grilled cheese w/tomato soup. Everything was delicious. I like the photo booth too!

I love coming here. The bar is always so quick and chill. Drinks are lit and i love coming to the thesis and other events and having a moment to come over and take a seat.

Super vibes. Dope hip hop music, solid drinks, the environment overall is really bright , and loud - but non threatening lmao if that makes sense. Came here for flow show, definitely coming back ??

Great vibe, Thursday night here enjoying a few gin and tonics. Well made. Music's not too loud, was able to meetup with a friend and have a good conversation but not in awkward silence, or yelling. I'll be back for sure.

Love the neon, great no-nonsense watering hole.
