What People Are Saying About Kelly's Olympian

In Short – A familiar downtown beer joint since 1902, it now has new ownership and a new vibe. The vintage neon sign out front is the same, but inside, the bar is transformed by dark green and maroon tones and an imposing collection of vintage motorcycles suspended from the ceiling. A diner-like counter runs the length of one wall, while tables line the other. Live rock music and DJs bring in the scenesters and set the tone.

I love Kelly's!
by tcantor
I love Kelly's and have been going for years! I really wish that they would have service in the back room when events are going on, it is really a pain to walk to the bar and order, I know the bar and kitchen would make a lot more money if they had at least one person waiting on us! We just get bored with having to go wait in line so we end up not ordering anything...and going someplace else after the show is over.
- Pros: Best food, bar and atmosphere around
- Cons: No service in the back room

BEST BURGERS AND FRIES FOR YOUR MONEY
by jimmmypop
This is the first time I have ever written a review, but I was so pleased with my food here, I just had to write one. I ordered the mushroom onion swiss burger and was amazed with how good it was the Oregonian was right on with their review of the fries they were FANTASTIC . I will definitely go back !
- Pros: The food is what makes this place the drinks are good too
- Cons: service I go to a place to be waited on not ignored

The food is great and cheap,the best bacon blue cheeseburger I have ever had. The service is getting better. The people who go there are really easy to talk to witch is nice if you are new to town or looking for a change of pace. The service can be slow at times,but its a big bar. I really like it during the day better than at night.
- Pros: stiff drinks great food
- Cons: service can be slow if busy
