“ Nice and tasty. Big verity of home made beers as well as liquors ”
“ I visited Kells Brewery in Portland on a Sunday for brunch and had a great experience overall. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. The only downside was that the server, I believe his name was Gerard, was handling everything alone, without even a bartender to assist. Despite this, he did an amazing job—friendly, efficient, and attentive. His efforts really stood out and made the visit enjoyable. Kudos to him for holding it all together! He deserves a raise and support. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy the food and ambiance again. ”
“ Irish pub with an array of irish food options on the menu and their own beer as an option. Mostly traditional styles. They also have an extensive whiskey list. There is something for everyone. The man who served us was very attentive and helpful. ”
“ I was visiting my brother in Portland a month ago. I brought my fiance and kids and we all happened to walk by while looking for a place to eat. We all got the burgers and my sons ate fries and bacon. I have not stopped thinking about my perfectly cooked medium rare burger I always ask for my burger more rare than I would like because no one gets it right. Ever. Well imagine my surprise when they handed me a perfectly cook, juicy, plump burger. This will be the only place that I will eat when I come to Portland from now on. Other than that the fries and fry sauce were bomb. Properly seasoned, Everyone liked their drinks. We were there around 5pm and there weren't many people inside but it had warm vibe with all of the dark wood and tall velvet curtains and leather seats. The staff were nice and not annoying. The bathroom was clean. Really, all of the things you would want as a knit picky mother of young children. I felt like I could really breath, enjoy my meal and my family. ”
“ Absolutely love Kells! Their beer and food are fantastic, and vibes are warm and cozy. I highly recommend their shepherd's pie as well as the bangers & mash. Both were plated beautifully and were delicious! The fish and chips are also excellent. And you do not want to miss out on their bread pudding! ”
“ What a fun pre/post game environment for the Timbers/Thorns games. Plenty of options on tap. Love the Guinness and cider. The food is yummy and the friendly bar and wait staff make it so enjoyable. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ A great place to drop in - great good, beers, and our Friday evening visit had live music! If you just need to slow life down a little and enjoy the end of the day, Kell's is the place. ”
“ Red ale and pretzel were great, the staff was nice, and the patio was a relaxing place to enjoy the day. ”
