Was there for a summer open mic night to catch a friend and enjoy a quick bite.Dining area with open mic setup was logically too small for such an event.Was hard to enjoy the performances and food under tight conditions.Food was good and drink prices were on the low side.

What a pleasant surprise, looks like a neighborhood bar but besides that it has great friendly service, extensive menu and great food. Some of the best wings I have ever had. My wife had a Reuben which was terrific. Bartender is server, does a great friendly job. Good beer selection.

If you love beer & pretzels (like me)... this is your place. There is a great beer menu and lots of pretzels to choose from. It's possible to have pretzel dinner & dessert and walk away full & satisfied. It's a little small, but yummy.

Interesting local bar with a country western theme. Live music and/or Karaoke several nights a week. Great food specials, reasonably priced. Friendly staff, good food, good prices and a nice place to enjoy a little nightlife in Portland.

We stopped in for lunch. Itâwasnt crowded, we got a nice wooden booth and checked out the interesting memorabilia while ordering. I ordered a burger with blue cheese, jalapeños and bacon. It was the best burger Iâve had in literally years. The burger was juicy and cooked exactly right and the bun wasnât soggy. It was delicious! I didnât care for the seasoned homemade chips that came with it, and they nicely made me up a fresh batch of unseasoned chips. My husband enjoyed his grilled chicken sandwich. He got a couple of 6 oz. beers just to try. A great place to kick back for an hour or so. Fabulous! Will be back.

We went to Farrell's Sunday night 11/11/2018 and never had such terrible food. We were a family party of six. I ordered the prime rib, which was awful, I think it was some other cut of beef that they passed off as prime rib. My husband ordered the clam roll special at $12.99. It came on a cut off roll to accommodate the 4 clams that was on the roll. Clams were awful. He complained to the waitress and she talked to the chef and he said the clams go by weight. He took $6.99 off the clam roll. We had a terrible appetizer of calamari worst we ever had. Ordered three margaritas. Our bill was$65.00.This was our first and last time at Farrell's restaurant.

Celtic is a very special place, and always my first choice for both dining or grabbing a drink at the bar, with family or friends, for social or business. The food is unbelievable (thanks, Bill), and the house is the friendliest ever (thanks, Brandon). And the staff is professional, attentive, and just fun and welcoming. Too many to list - but Lauren, Chris, Sara, Kasey, Lexi, Courtney, Ang, Mea,Taylor, to start. - thanks guys!
