Irish beers, along with some local craft beers on tap, and an extensive Irish whiskey menu as well. Service was friendly & quick. My only recommendation is they should add some acoustic tiles on the ceiling to help with the noise, as it was very loud for such a small space.

The vibe was fun and welcoming, and it felt like a great place to hang out with friends. The spicy margaritas were definitely a highlight--$12 and really good, though they may have been a daily special. Either way, they were worth it.

I always want to like it more than I do. I always want to come in, look at the lovely downtown pub…read more(I don't bother with 21st Street), and say "you know what, it's about on par with anything I've seen in Boston, Hoboken, New York, Philly, Baltimore, or Chicago." I want to say it's on par with the better Northwest offerings like the Irish Heather in Vancouver, The Irish Times in Victoria, or Murphy's in Seattle. But I can't. Because every time I'm here I'm just reminded of all the things it isn't. The menu looks somewhat right on paper, but it's little things like the spice and bake on the sausage rolls, the fact that they won't give you curry and chips without ordering the whole chicken entree ordeal, the somewhat dry and mealy burger. Then there are the drinks: There's a Guinness on, but the Magners is in the bottle. And then there's the whole brewpub element that was introduced a few years ago that baffles me. There are so many breweries in town, and so many quality Irish breweries, that I have no idea why you'd brew a middling beer lineup of your own AND make an Irish stout and red, of all things. But the most disappointing part of The Kells is that it's all the worst parts of the pubs in cities I just mentioned without containing any of their finer points. Stripped of history, taplist, menu, and other comforts, it's just a place where suburbanites come into the city, get loud for a few hours, pay their few quid, and leave without doing much else in the area. Compared to the Leaky Roof, T.C. O'Leary's or the city's English pubs like the Rose and Thistle or Moon and Sixpence, The Kells seems detatched and at arm's length from anything. that might resemble a community. I've heard they've done (double-decker English) buses to Timbers and Thorns matches, and I hear they're basically propping up the city's St. Patrick's Day festivities, but there's something artificial to it. It's a shame. I know the founders came from Belfast and I know the family is still very much involved, but although the staff is always pleasant when I come in, there's very little about the place that makes me want to return. It doesn't repel me, but a pub should draw me in more than this one does.

This is a review that will undoubtedly improve in time. I hate to be giving a low score, but it is…read morebased on our experience. Note-- the reviewer (me!!) was born and raised in Ireland and has left a few particles of his liver in various pubs around the globe. And now onto the show... The wife and I just came off of an incredible pub experience at Nana's in Newport, OR. Great band (St. James Gate), great craic, great food, stiff drinks, grand company, etc. We were anxiously watching and waiting for this spot to open up. Arrived to be greeted by a sign that stated their grand opening, was just a soft opening predicated upon the fact that their liquor license had yet to be issued. I get it. Things happen like that. Being faced with a negative, an owner should throw all they have into drawing folks in despite the lack of stiff drink. (I actually own a pub, and know a wee bit about the "game". 4 green balloons, does not constitute that effort. Also, when we called earlier inquiring about a happy hour, we were told, "we no longer have that." and no other info was offered. End of phone call. You just opened..how can you no longer have that??? Chalking this up to yet another coastal disaster that will be vacant in 6 months, some mates of ours popped out and asked us to join them. Came in to a beautifully decorated establishment, with spot on acoustics. The lad singing and playing guitar in the front of the house (not very well...not totally bad, but not totally good either) could be heard clearly at the back of the house. During our spell there, not one Irish / Celtic song was heard. If I heard one more poorly executed and out of key Neil Young song I was going to vomit. Damn lad...expand your catalogue. Polite / friendly / attentive service from the owner and a a couple of other sexy Irish lasses in short kilts. One was making a critical error in telling customers that it was "okay to leave" when they heard that there was no alcoholic drinks being served. Entice them with the food...the music sure wasn't going to do it. I can promise you that the Triangle Tavern next door and Mary Todd's across the street had a bump in profits from the opening of the pub last night. Quite a few folks at both establishments commented that they came and went. The food prices were fair. My wife who is the brie cheese connoisseur, was disappointed in her order. The brie had some sort of jam added to it prior to baking it that really took away from the flavour of the cheese itself. The grapes were sour, the apples were fine and the two types of crackers were perfect. I had the "Irish stew". The Irish aka we, are not known for food that kicks you in the arse and makes you crave it. We were the inspiration for catsup no doubt. Oh, and corned beef and cabbage isn't traditionally Irish either. I am sorry to share that, but now that you know the truth about Santa, the Tooth Fae, and The Oestra Bunny, you can get a better results from your therapist. Oh, back to the stew... It was a watery mess with very small bits of beef in it, and a blob of mash dumped in the middle with a piece of focaccia bread atop. The Irish are used to things boiled. We like our potatoes in chunks, as we do our meat. We like soda bread, not Italian bread with our "Irish" meal. The flavour was not bad, but it was very watery, messy and odd. All was not lost. We discovered The Triangle Tavern next door, and met some really cool mates. We closed the night at Mary's as we have so many times before. Workman's can make it a trifecta when and if they get their affairs in order. With some of the infamous "Luck of the Irish", maybe it will happen. Sláinte mhaith !! ** A note on parking. The oppressive hotel has dominance over the entire parking lot behind and around the pub. One can park on the street (very limited) or at the Memorial Park to the south. As an owner, I would be obtaining spots adjacent to the property in the back lot for my customers. Lack of parking (including ADA) can be a death knell to a business. **Another note on the name of the pub...Workman's is very close to the already established Worker's Pub. Google drops you at Worker's when you search for Workman's. For non-locals, this may be an issue.

While I understand being the only person there to serve and what not, a prompt warning that the only flavor of pie was most definitely over a week old, soggy as could be, and full of undercooked, under mixed raw flour would have been human decency. To say this is the last time I will stop here is an understatement. Not to mention they charged me $16.75 for two slices on this paper plate and wrap. Thank you for ruining my 3 year olds excitement with what he described as "the saddest pie ever." Hopefully the food is better, but I won't be giving my money to these folks again. Best of luck

I did a double-take when I drove by this place the first time, as this quaint, cozy, cottage-like…read moreIrish pub is an island unto itself, in the middle of nowhere along an otherwise featureless highway. For a moment, I thought I had somehow took a wrong turn and had driven into rural Ireland. I was curious. I knew I had to check it out on our return drive home later in the day. Unfortunately, the hours posted to Yelp and Google were incorrect; either that, or the proprietors had closed early that Sunday night. Either way, they were gracious enough to let us poke about a bit before leaving, and I have to say, we will likely be making a special trip to revisit this place in the near future. The interior is warm, dimly lit, and filled with the heartwarming aroma of wood smoke from the black iron furnace, and Irish stew simmering in the kitchen. Lots of love and personal touches have been included in the interior decor: vintage artwork, framed and loose pictures, posters and newspaper clippings, antiques, tchotchkies, your standard neon bar signs, and hard wood furniture. It looks and feels lived in: a living history museum of the region, which apparently has more history than one would ascertain from driving through this tiny hamlet. Looking forward to knocking back a few drinks and enjoying a hearty meal here someday soon.

It's one of the most authentic feeling pubs I've seen outside of the UK. They have the best collection of Scotch I've ever seen. We usually have a few drams of some of the best I've ever had. It's truly something to savor. Besides the drinks, the food is amazing. So far I've had the sausage rolls, the banger sliders, the Reuben and the fish & chips. Each has been 10 out of 10. One of the best reasons to come is Kenna. She usually works the upstairs and is a true joy to interact with. She's got such a wonderful personality along with being very knowledgeable when it comes to the food and drink. I look forward to seeing her just as much as I look forward to the Scotch.

The first thing you'll notice is the ample outdoor seating - perfect for enjoying a meal and/or drinks outside in nice weather, shaded by large trees. The vibe inside is cozy, with lots of stained wood and warm lighting. The front room has a fireplace, and the dark wood L-shaped bar is inviting. Decorating the walls are a large Jameson's Irish Whiskey mirror and a variety of photos, sayings, and Irish knickknacks. Absent the sound of a telltale accent, you won't know whether you're in Lake Oswego or Limerick. Somewhat hidden is a basement area with a TV, board games, shuffleboard, a dartboard, and mini-foosball table. There are a dozen or so beers on tap, including Guinness, of course. Pints are served in special Guinness glasses. Behind the bar are a nice selection of Scotch and Irish Whiskeys. Appetizer favorites include Bavarian Bangers (soft pretzel and banger sausage) and Pan Seared Brussel Sprouts. The menu includes staples (Fish N' Chips, Shepherd's Pie, Bangers & Mash, etc.) as well as a selection of sandwiches and burgers. The Dullahan is a great spot for a family outing or to meet friends, rain or shine!

It came out cooked all the way through. We were the only two people there. The board was good, drinks were very very mid. The restaurant itself has great potential but honestly the menu doesn't match and I felt 80$ didn't justify our dinner.
