The haunted Alibi Room now has a wood fire pizza oven. When I was a young girl, Bugsy's occupied the same space and you could get a great piece of pizza in Post Alley. The new oven will offer the only pizza in the Market aside from the day window at Delaurentis. The Alibi Room not only has a great selection of spirits at the bar but in the restaurant as well.

Mr. D's Greek Delicacies It's down in the basement that Mr. D keeps his sculptures. You see, he is an artist and his medium is meat. He has sculpted busts of Marilyn Monroe, Bill Clinton, George W., and others. Bill Clinton came through the Market on his first election campaign and Mr. D had a carved bust prominently on display, turning round and round on his gyro skewer. During the Lewinsky scandal, he made another bust in gyro meat, one side had the face of Clinton, the other side, the face of Monica Lewinsky. After they are displayed, they are placed in his basement in large refrigerators. He says that these busts have caused all sorts of commotion in his basement. The spirits of the building don't know what to make of them. Mr. D says that they are at war with the sculptures and often make a mess of things downstairs.

Mr. D serves gyros and other Greek foods. His counter is open during the day at the front on the Sanitary Market on Pike Place.

Kell's Irish Pub On the North end of Post Alley, Kell's Irish Pub occupies part of the old mortuary. While this side of the mortuary does not have the volume of hauntings that the 1st Avenue side does, it is not without strange occurences. Napkins and candles spontaneously lighting on fire, things moving on their own. The ghost of a young girl has been spotted frequently inside the bar. She is described as about 8 years old with red or blonde hair (both have been reported). One young woman on a job interview brought her daughter with her. Her daughter remained occupied in one part of Kells' while the interview went on. At the end of the interview the mother gathered her daughter to leave and the girl said, "Mom, I am not done playing with her" and she pointed in front of her where there seemed to be noone at all.

Kell's is open for lunch and dinner. They also offer a space for private functions above the main restaurant. At night, in the bar patrons are often treated to excellent music. Kell's is a very popular Seattle bar especially on St. Patricks Day. Lines on that day can stretch all the way down Post Alley to Stewart St.

The Can-Can restaurant www.thecancan.com is one of the newest additions to the Market, but it seems there are some old souls still hanging around from when it was Patty Summers, or even earlier. Their bar is located underneath 1st Avenue. Sitting there, you can look up at the skylights that were used to illuminate early Underground Seattle. The Underground was not only in Pioneer Square, all of 1st Avenue has been lifted 8 ft starting around 1903. The Can-Can offers entertainment that harkens back to those early years as well; the can-can dancers, trapeze artists, and music all have the feeling of vaudeville. Their menu is excellent. Served as generous tapas plates (definetly generous!), it's a great place to take a group of people. Bar is stocked with international liquors. My friend was able to order a drink he recalls from his time in Peru. As for the ghosts, several workers swear that there are other kinds of spirits there as well.

Chez Shea www.chezshea.com is located at the top of the Corner Market. For years the restaurant dressed a special table every New Year's Eve for a routine patron. This was no ordinary guest, Charlie, is a ghost. He has been seen by customers and staff alike. Although most recently he seems to have moved on. Charlie developed a fondness for a former bartender and left Chez Shea when he did. He hasn't been seen since. Chez Shea is a gorgeous restaurant. Serving fresh food that is French with a bit of Northwest flair to it. The main restaurant is a fixed price menu with several courses. The lounge and bar have a seperate more modest menu but you can order from the main menu as well. It has been voted many times over as the best place in Seattle to propose and on the TV show, Frazier, the characters are always trying to get in to Chez Shea. You can make a reservation in advance or eat at the lounge. (It does not take weeks to get in as Frazier and his brother found). Excellent food, stunning view of the Sound and a wine list that is impressive.
