Kelly's Olympian
Downtown · 426 SW Washington St, Portland, OR
Kelly's Olympian was established in 1902 as the Olympian Saloon, named for an original owner, Kelly, and for Olympia Brewing, which helped open it to sell Olympia Beer; "Kelly's" was added a few years later. A new bank building forced a move in 1957 to 426 Southwest Washington Street, two blocks from the first site. The Powers family ran it for three generations, and it remains a downtown dive and live-music room, billed as Portland's third-oldest continuously operated bar.
