World Famous Kenton Club

We are locally owned and have been right here in the Kenton neighborhood since 1947.

The KC has been called the best dive bar in North Portland.

Hosting live music every weekend and many weeknights, rarely do we ever have a cover at the door.

Our beer prices are the best in town and so are our drinks.
