Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub

On Post Alley, within Pike Place Market, Kells occupies a narrow downtown lane where visitor foot traffic and the market’s daily business meet among historic façades. This is not a pub tucked into a residential district: its appeal is tied to the market, the walkable city center, and a changing schedule of music and sports that shifts the room’s energy by the hour.

The current menu gives diners a way to estimate the bill before ordering: fish and chips are listed at $23, bangers and mash at $18, and Guinness at $10; pasties, sausage rolls, chowder, and seafood dishes also appear. It works as a sit-down meal as well as a drinks stop. Customer comments often mention the market-side location, music, and food, though the room can feel busier during matches and crowded evenings.

Market visitors can walk from First Avenue and the waterfront; the pub places itself half a block west of First Avenue, between Stewart and Virginia, in Post Alley. Buses and Link light rail serve downtown, but the final stretch is steep and the alley can be easy to miss. Check the entrance and hours on the day of your visit; the business offers event reservations and posts a schedule worth reviewing.
