Kells Irish Pub is a pub in Portland, Oregon, United States. The restaurant is housed in the Glisan Building,[1] in the southwest portion of the city's Old Town Chinatown neighborhood. Opened in 1990, the restaurant is owned and operated by Gerard and Lucille McAleese.[2] Their son Garrett opened Kells Brew Pub (now Kells Brewery) in northwest Portland in 2012.[3] Since 1995, money affixed to the ceiling has been donated to charity.[4][5] The restaurant also hosts an annual Kells Irish Festival,[6] and hosted the first Irish Beer Festival in 2017.[7]
