Kelly’s Olympian, the 124-year-old watering hole downtown Portlanders have long called the city’s oldest dive bar, reopens Tuesday with a freshened-up interior, a new passage to its music venue, and a coworking company moving into five floors that once sat largely empty above the bar. The celebration at 426 SW Washington St. doubles as a grand opening for UrbanWork, which is taking over the upper floors of the Bullier Building alongside the bar’s renovation.
