People eat three times a day to prevent mouthy mouths from brashly blurting out their distaste for the rest of the digestive system. Today's Groupon prevents inner-system quarreling by subduing chatty cheeks with Irish eats: for $10, you get $25 worth of pub fare at Mick Kelly’s Irish Pub, located in Burien.
Mick Kelly’s Irish Pub boasts a full menu of eclectic pub fare for lunch and dinner daily. Appetizers range from the elegance of steamed local clams ($8.99 for a half pound, $14.99 for a pound) in a white-wine, garlic, and butter sauce to the potato decadence of seasoned fries ($4.99) baked under a blanket of cheddar cheese and topped with sour cream and green onions. Empty-handed post-auction attendees can make a taste-bud bid on the hearty selection of handheld sandwiches, such as the french dip with a rosemary-shallot au jus ($9.99), whereas the eatery’s Irish specialties promise to make eyes, noses, and mouths smile. Summon a serving of the corned beef and cabbage ($9.99–$11.99) or the slow-cooked Guinness beef stew ($8.99–$10.99) to satisfy a Leopold Bloom–esque appetite, or indulge in the apple-brandy pork chops ($15.99) or spicy prawn penne ($14.99). For guests allergic to the moon, Mick Kelly’s Irish Pub serves up a bounty of brunch bites on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon.
The interior of Mick Kelly’s is sleek and inviting, with warm wood floors and furnishings accented by the white beams in the ceiling. In between careful analyses of limericks, split a serving of the strawberry La Bomba ($5.99), a rich pile of strawberry and amaretto cream spread between layers of almond cake, with a potential roommate and/or reality-show nemesis.
During happy hour, Groupon customers must order items off the pub’s regular menu.

Groupon Says
Going Public
The word pub is most likely derived from the concept of "the public house," an old-timey beverage emporium and gathering place where the working class would congregate to trade jokes, unwind, and draw rough napkin diagrams of what would later become the electric guillotine. How can you find out which of the houses on your block are open to the public?
- Try every door on your street to see which houses are unlocked—legally, these are the houses you're permitted to enter.
- If you can see a television through the window, it is considered socially acceptable to stand outside and try to figure out what they're watching.
- If a neighborhood dog barks at you as you pass by, this is a binding invitation to hop the fence and playfully tussle on the lawn.
- It is well known that a vampire cannot enter a house unless he is invited. By the transitive property of vampires, this means any non-vampires may enter as they please.
- Remember Washington's Third Law of Democracy: lawn furniture is for everyone!
