Welcome to Kells Irish Restaurant, Bar, Private Dining & Events.
Hours: Sunday - Saturday 11:30AM - Late.

Founded in 1983 by the McAleese family, Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub brings the traditions and culture of the Glens of Antrim to Seattle and offers a truly authentic Irish experience. Located in Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market, Kells occupies one of the oldest historic buildings in the city – the Butterworth Building, Seattle's first mortuary - bringing old town charm and Irish culture to life. In addition to superb dine-in areas, our banquet and private dining facility proves popular no matter what the season.

Eat. Our truly Irish and organic farm-to-table menu is regularly praised by locals, tourists and critics alike. Featuring fresh, locally sourced produce. All of our beef is imported from Ireland through Irish Nature Company, the country's longest-established premium beef importer.

Drink. Kells is proud to offer one of the cities largest whiskey collections. Patrons also appreciate our fully stocked bar and our locally brewed selection of Kells beers (8 pipeline beers plus seasonal offerings from lager to stout).

Celebrate. In addition to an authentic Irish ‘old country’ ambiance, we offer live Irish music. Be sure to check our music schedule so you don’t miss regular favorites like Stark Raving Plaid, Belfast Bandits, Stout Pounders and more! The Kells St. Patrick’s Day Festival is a decades old, annual event, that shouldn't be missed. In fact, Kells has earned a reputation as the go-to venue for large parties, sports, events, tastings and catering.

Sláinte! If you can't go to Ireland, come to Kells.
