Kay's Bar

Kay's Bar was established in 1934 and has since functioned as a community watering hole for the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood, attracting mostly locals, professors from nearby Reed College, and the occasional ghost hunter. Renovations over the past several years have dramatically improved the interior and expanded the available seating without sacrificing the lived-in vibe that lends this pedestrian-friendly strip of Westmoreland such character. The Kay's mural was completed in 2011 by Jeffrey Wade and is full of neighborhood regulars. Kay's Bar is located at the vibrant intersection of SE Milwaukie Ave and SE Bybee Blvd, close to the historic Moreland Theater and a block from the cavernous Stars Antiques Malls, which represent more than 200 antique dealers on any given day.
