Description: A beloved tourist trap near Pike Place
Market.
History: A hundred years ago, the space occupied by Kells
served as an embalming room and crematorium to an upstairs
mortuary.
Today’s lore: Kells is rumored to be haunted, with purported
manifestations ranging from the spooky (bottles propelling themselves
across the room, mirrors shattering, candles lighting themselves) to
the terrifying (actual ghostly figures that appear and vanish).
Resulting precautions: According to the owner, the bar is
stocked with holy water.
Fair warning: Kells teems with unsavory frat dorks on weekend
nights. If you find yourself lusting for a paranormal adventure, you’re
better off staying home where you can play with a Ouija board in your
underwear.
Happy hours: Sun–Thurs 4–7 pm (drinks), daily
4–7 pm (food).
Happy-hour drink specials: $3.50 wells, $3.50 house wine,
$4.50 drafts (Guinness 250, Smithwick’s).
Happy-hour food specials: $3 appetizers (sausage roll,
chicken wings). 
Weeknights are great here, especially when Liam is playing guitar and singing. Frat boys are few and far between then.
