What people may not know about the Celtic Swell is that they also serve breakfast. If you are headed down to Alki for a weekend morning stroll, I HIGHLY suggest this place for something a little different. Huge portions of delicious breakfast morsels - with real, thick Irish bacon and hefty potatoes - I don't think I ate for the rest of the day!

This is a friendly joint. If you are just in the mood for a good beer and don't want to "dress up" to go out- I strongly recommend this place. They have great priced beer and it doesn't get very crowded on weeknights. Warning- Plan ahead if you are going on St. Paddy's day, they have a cover and a line out the door.

The Celtic Swell is a great place to meet friends and enjoy a beer. The Swell also has a pretty good menu for Sunday brunch and every day of the week. I especially like the curry potato and french fries. I also suggest a bloody mary, if you aren't vegetarian, since their mix has anchovies in it. The Swell brings a nice change to Alki, it is comfortable, family friendly and clean. The Swell seemed to loose a lot of business in winter, they trimmed down their menu. I hope they are now on the upswing. They have a trivia night also, for me it was impossible. Not sure if it is Tuesdays or Wednesdays you'll have to call.
