Came here after a Kraken game to wait out the crowds a little bit before calling our Lyft home. Will be doing that every time we go to climate pledge now! We had the Irish potato skins, French dip, and the steak salad. It was all tasty and came out quickly. Good selection of beverages and a decent spot to hang out for a bit.

We finally got the chance to check this place out for St. Patrick's Day, and it did not disappoint. The food could have been better than I hoped, but the drinks and vibes were most definitely here. Love the dark cherry wood throughout and the amazing service. FYI, they also have a few arcade games in the back. We ordered: Pot Pie - This was a bit strange because the Pie is topped with a flaky puff pastry instead of it being a pie we're accustomed to where the pie filling sits within the breaded/puff pastry. The inside was alright, but the pastry part was delicious! Shepherd's Pie - this was super light and didn't have much flavor, it more like a snack than a meal. Unlike a traditional shepherd's Pie, it wasn't topped with mashed potatoes, and there was hardly any meat inside. Maybe they forgot to top mine with potatoes? Even the menu describes this dish as having a mashed potato topping. :( Bangers & Mash - This was the best dish that we ordered. Savory and filling enough, as compared to the others. The burger sausages were delicious! Snakebites - Special St. Patty's drink special - Guinness and Cider a bunch of Guinness drafts They had a live band singing traditional Irish songs plus a few contemporary songs all night, and the pub hosted the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band, who also played throughout the evening and night. Ngl, the first time the Bagpipe band walked through the pub, everyone was hyped, and some got emotional. Such a fun night! I highly recommend catching their live bands. I'm curious how often they host bands, but it's worth visiting.

Service is excellent and Eric was attentive and helpful in answering questions about Irish Beers. He also informed us of some fun planned St Patrick's Day festivities . The chicken cob salad was tasty and very filling. Great neighborhood feel highly recommend !!

Fish and chips were questionable. Mozzarella sticks were lukewarm, along with the onion rings. Drinks took forever. I hope we don't get sick from taking a bite from the fish.

Very welcoming. Friendly staff, great service, and high quality beers. We went in here a few times during our trip as we were staying locally. Loved this place and wouldn't hesitate to go back if we visit Seattle again.

I wanted to take a moment to thank the great people at T.S. McHugh's, in particular Eric Woods, for helping us orchestrate a very successful company kickoff and book-signing event! Everyone on the team was fun, supportive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect...we had a section of the pub that could accommodate as many or few as the number of attendees varied in size throughout the evening. The service was top-notch - attentive and never intrusive. We would definitely recommend considering T.S. McHugh's when you host your next event. Thank you for making this important event a success!

Always a good time when I go here. Huge inside and I always get seated right away even when there's concerts or games going on at the arena. Their pretzel is one of my favorites.

I would have to say we couldn't have picked a better spot to pregame before going to watch the Kraken. The energy here is very neighborhood-feel. It gets super busy but they seem to have a very smooth orchestrated seating approach because there was no wait. Service was attentive even though we weren't directly at the bar. We quickly made a friend too, as you're parked fairly close to other drink-only attendees. The bathrooms were clean and drink prices were fair. Walkable to quite a few other spots too (grab a burger at Dick's first! ). Can't wait to go back for more snakebites.

They have the Irish pub atmosphere down pat. The Reuben was delicious and service was excellent. Shared a pitcher with a friend, it was great that they serve pitchers. They also have a parking lot in back, so parking was easy despite the location. Will definitely be back to try the Shepherds pie!

Cold food that is overcooked is difficult to pull off, but they were able to do it from appetizer to main. A salad with with avocado and tomatoes that must have sat at the bottom of the tub all day. Then to have the bill presented with the lowest tip on the card reader at 18%? We won't be back and you'd do well to keep looking.

Great lower Queen Anne Irish pub. Awesome place to grab a few reasonably priced drinks before going to Climate Pledge Arena where everything is over priced.

Great place to hang out and play shuffle board, a few arcade games and pool. The vibe is welcoming, relaxed and fun. It's beautiful inside and the drinks were great. We didnt have food as we were catching the ferry in a half hour, but we will go back to try it. This was a happy accident to have found this place!

Oh man I wanted to like this place the way I did years ago. The food was terrible and one of the wait staff complained about how cheap the owner was and where they are cutting costs. Now I know why the food was so bad.

We decided to eat here before a show at Climate Pledge. They have a smaller menu on show days to make sure everyone gets in and out which was nice. We were seated quickly and the hostess was so nice. The place had a typical Irish bar atmosphere minus the music or live band. We both ordered the Sheppards pie for 17.95. Or server seemed overwhelmed and not too sure of the menu. My hubby asked if they had sweet tea and the server said yes. But, it was just regular tea with sugar. Yes, there is a difference. We asked for extra sugar and he forgot. In fact we only saw him a couple times. The meals were so small for that price point. They were served in a very shallow dish. And the Sheppards pie were each so different. The hubbys had lots of meat, meanwhile I had none. I kid you not, not one piece of meat in mine. They also put the salad on the same plate so the salad wasn't cool when it came out. My main issue however was that for the price we were very disappointed in the size of the entree. We actually were both still hungry after leaving and ended up buying over priced food at the show. I wouldn't go back. There's a ton of restaurants around the area and a few we tried were much better.
