Nice Irish pub generally, but was also there for an Open Mic night and some awesome musical talent on show!

10/10 experience. On Sunday they have wings that are $1 per wing. Great service and great atmosphere! A very chill vibe to come to on a Sunday afternoon. Wings were perfectly seasoned and the service was quick. Check this place out if you are in the area !

I'm not drinking at the time due stomach issues, but got really bored, so I went in here for an appetizer and was up-charged for the second time in several months. I was lead to believe the appetizers were included at the Sunday discount through some confusion from a barback eating at the bar and the bar tender. When I closed out it was $15+ for a personal size cheese pizza, not $6, and their hands were tied.The well drinks taste more like the smell of plasticol than alcohol, and the prices are far too high for how sticky the floors and surfaces are.Three stars for finally getting new pool sticks and for the food not tasting as cheap as the drinks. I won't return until I hear that it's at least a three and a half star place, lol

Worst service ever, waited for 15 mins at the bar while it was slow, and never even got a drink order in. Pool table is shotty aswell.

Took a second to get noticed enough at the bar to order anything. We were drawn in by this great deal about dollar hot dogs on saturdays at 10pm plus live music. neither of which was actually there. we paid $30 for drinks and mozzarella sticks even with the nightly special drinks. just being honest about this place, it's pretty mediocre

The only best in Seattle! Friday nights are mandatory, gotta get a burger from the shop out front!

Bartender held my card to open a tab and I immediately had fraudulent charges on my card. Not saying with 100% certainty that's how it happened, but it's suspicious as hell since this is the only place that card has ever been out of my sight.Also service was incredibly slow, bartender and other staff kept disappearing into the back with shots while people waited at the bar to order.

Was looking for a refuge in the heat over the weekend and stumbled on this place. We just had drinks but the food at the table next to us looked good. Staff were friendly and went out of the way to make our drink just right. Also... the bathroom was bright and clean, which was a welcome relief compared to most of the dingy piss-covered bathrooms in Capital Hill.

I lost track of the number of times I've been here, and frankly it's my least favorite bar in Cap Hill. It's popular among GROUPS of people, but almost never just 1-2 patrons. I assume they're mostly students of SeattleU. If you're not one, you stick out like a sore thumb. If you are one, lord of judges vibes. What's great about it is that they offer specials every day at almost every hour of the day. They also have triva, karaoke, and open mic nights. Most of the prices are reasonable. The quality of food is average and there's nothing special about the menu. The drink menu is very limited, and there's only 2-3 special cocktails here.The place feels like its a fraction of what it used to be, dated and never restored, and lots of unused space. Lots of seating, but it's never full. So, If I had to guess why anyone would come here, if not by force like I am, it's because the food is affordable, there's a lot of space for people to hang out, and there's a free pool table.

Gotta love this place: good prices, excellent staff, fun atmosphere, and great drinks. Tuesdays are a must-go here.

Great staff, great Irish dive bar. Hosts the Seattle chapter of the North American Aston Villa supporters.
