In his 2016 overview of "Where Portland's Best Bartenders Go on Their Rare Nights Off", Thrillist contributor Alex Frane said Kay's has a "surprisingly good cocktail program". [5] In Eater Portland 's 2019 list of "Where to Imbibe and Dine in Sellwood and Westmoreland", Frane wrote, "Kay’s Bar, with its divey, diner-like atmosphere, is bustling most nights, with reliable food, affordable well drinks and pints, and a modest-but-creative cocktail menu. The kitchen puts out classic, well-made bar staples, including a variety of burgers, burritos, and mac and cheese, and offers many dishes on the happy hour menu from 3 to 6 p.m. Notably, the bar has been open in some form or another since 1934, making it significantly older than most of its guests."
