A Century of Stories

Established in 1902, Kelly’s Olympian is Portland’s oldest dive bar and the third oldest continuously operating bar in the city. It started as a card room and cigar shop, and it has outlasted Prohibition, urban renewal, and every trend downtown has thrown at it.

From the motorbikes hanging from the rafters to the original neon out front, every inch of Kelly’s tells a story about the people who built this city — and the ones still closing it down at 2am.
