A NORTHWEST TRADITION SINCE 1983
ABOUT US
Fáilte!
A long-standing Irish pub and restaurant offering delicious Irish fare with organic, home-grown ingredients from the Kells Family Farm, craft beers brewed fresh from our Brewery on NW 21st, a laid-back cigar lounge downstairs, a spacious ballroom upstairs available for private parties and events, and a variety of live music every night for adults to enjoy in our Pub.
​
Established in 1990.
Gerard, who hails from Belfast, expanded the business to Portland in 1996, after opening the first Kells in Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1983. It was a family business. His brothers helped with construction; his mother prepared food in the kitchen and hosted.
