This former saloon has over a century under its belt. Vintage motorcycle-themed decor, better-than-avg bar food, live music most nights.

unbelievable. I've been going to the Kelly's for 2 years and have always been treated badly by a couple of the young female bartenders. Wallace has always been cool to me so tonight I decided to just deal with Wallace instead of the slow grumpy service from the woman bartender. No hard feelings, just didn't want the attitude. When I went to close my bill with him she actually followed me to the end of the bar and asked me " what the f^ck is my problem ". I was stunned. I've been nothing but nice to her. Completely out of nowhere! I will never go back and if you take these messages seriously I would suggest that you never go there either. Honestly the worst treatment I have ever suffered from any service industry of any kind. Hands down, the most outrageous experience I have ever had at a bar or anywhere else. BOYCOTT THIS PLACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Upscale Dive Bar? NOT!. Burnt Burger, due to the fact the cook was out in the front of the building smoking and had to rush to get the backed up orders done. Fries were also burnt. Ice tea tasted like soap water. Pointing it out to the staff was pointless, if you could get their attention.

I have tried this place twice; will not try a third time.

Great place if you are a regular as the staff only pays attention to you then... but this does not change the quality of the food for anyone.

I should have listened to friends who said the same thing, except with my experience I did not find broken glass in my drink.

Across from a major bus stop, and close to Burnside attracts a "different crowd". Better bet for a hamburger, go to the food carts a block away.

I love Kelly's!. 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.

BEST BURGERS AND FRIES FOR YOUR MONEY. 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 !
