WELCOME TO KELLS

Our Story

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.

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

2026 World Cup at Kells

We’re excited to be hosting the World Cup at Kells. It’s always been a place where people come together, and moments like this just amplify that. Having the room full, everyone watching, reacting, and sharing it together is what makes it special. It’s a privilege for us to be at the centre of that and to bring our community together around it.
