The entrance for this 'pub' is in the alleyway where we were greeted by several vagrants digging through trash and talking to us through the fog of whatever substances they were on. Real welcoming to two female tourists who are trying to find the entrance to this restaurant! There is a sign up on the real street with Kell's on... More

What you see, is what you get. Looks and IS just like a pub in Ireland. Love the exterior of the building. It just kind of calls your name. Once inside the drink and the crowd is great as well. Since they call Seattle little IRELAND this pub fits right in with the culture, etc. of what you expect. When... More

You might think you are in Waterford. The Irish stew is great. The best beers are also available.

April 27, 2012 came here with some friends for dinner & to listen to the live music. I’m giving this place 4 stars for the atmosphere & drinks of the “bar side”. If I was just reviewing the “restaurant side”, I would probably only give it 2 stars. The restaurant side doesn’t have much seating, so get there early or... More

Surprisingly good food for a place you only ever remember drinking at! Not a more fun place to be when the singing starts and the beers are disappearing! How do those songs go? The frat boy choir will fill you in!

We went to Kells as part of a party of 10. The wait staff were very slow and kept getting the orders wrong. I ordered Lamb, but got the New York steak instead. The waitress did say I could return the steak, but it would take another 10 minutes and the rest of our party had already started to eat.... More

For my birthday, my husband, daughter, and I went on the Market Ghost Tour. Turns out that the Butterworth Chapel we were going to for ghost hunting is part of the same building Kells is in. So after our ghost adventures, we decided to stop in at Kells for beer and a bite to eat. The beer is cold and... More

Great place to grab some appies and bevies, though we were very disappointed that they were out of quite a few menu items. The service however was great, and we spoke to the manager about a situation and he was great and resolved the issue quickly.

This place ROCKS!!! The outside area is small but the mood is truly Irish happiness so the closer the better! Sitting there in the afternoon having a drink on Vacation w/ a frien, we ended up meeting all the people around us. Before too long the party was on!! Then we all gathered in the Alley and proceeded to do... More
