    This is a fun little spot near Seattle Center. I went with friends before the ballet and it had some pretty solid food for a bar. The service was great. They are also dog friendly which I loved and made me want to come back. They also were fast and not overcrowded before the show which was a lovely change from the usual ambiance of most spots in the area before shows.

    After we landed at the airport and checked into our hotel we were starving and were told to check out the restaurant across the street. Glad we did, we were the only ones there but got a great meal and directions around the city before we headed out to the Mariners game!

    Dirty Martini & Baseball
    Patricia A.

    This is a local Irish pub and Seattle sports bar, conveniently located near Climate Pledge Arena. The atmosphere is lively, and we often go here before concerts to watch Seattle sports. Recently, we were here watching the Mariners' playoff before a concert, and the service was fast, even though the pub was crowded. Our server, Alika, along with the bartender Kyle, was friendly and helpful, making suggestions to order. If you are a vegetarian, there are only a few options, and if you are gluten-free, even fewer. We shared the nachos, and I washed it down with a dirty martini that was better than I expected from a pub, not a show stopper, but decent. I will continue to come here for sports and recommend it for others. *Side note* They are dog-friendly!

    Brownie

    We stopped in for a quick dinner, exhausted from our day walking around the city. Cairde offered a quick and tasty experience, perfectly sufficient in filling our bellies and being tasty enough to leave us pleased, too. The restaurant was clean and spacious, with great views of the street and plenty of windows to let the light in. If you're here to watch a game, there's TVs everywhere you look, so you won't be lacking in options! My Shepherd's Pie was delicious. It's not the most flavorful that I've ever had, but was texturally perfect, and that kept me eating happily. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich, which smelled divine, but was also a bit lacking in flavor. He noted that the chicken was so juicy and pleasant to eat that he didn't mind the lack of flavor. The brownie dessert, though, was positively awesome. I'd come back just for that. Our server was also bartending, so she was running back and forth between our table and the bar, but she did an excellent job checking up on us, refilling our waters, and being generally great. Thank you for being so wonderful! Overall, Cairde Public House & Bar is tasty, quick, and offers a pleasant atmosphere for a nice meal. The food is made really well, and with a bit more flavor, this place would really shine!

    Nice neighborhood Irish bar/ restaurant. Severed a proper Guinness. The twist on a the Black and Tan, using their Seattle beer versus a Harp was ok ... slightly bitter for me. Fish and Chips were awesome... great tartar sauce. The Fry Bread Taco was unexpected... I really enjoyed that. Great neighborhood bar not sure I'd seek this place out ( so many great choices). Did like it

    Fantastic pretzel
    Donnell C.

    We walked to this fun place when staying at a nearby hotel downtown Seattle. We were surprised by the fun vibe. There was a big table of friends and lots of couple groupings. We started with the pretzel with 2 sauces. It was so tender and flavorful with a crunchy yummy exterior. They have a great varied menu-- the Irish regulars but also plenty of burgers, etc. we had the chicken pot pie as well as the corned beef and cabbage. They were both generous and delicious. The service was quick and informal. We ended up really enjoying our evening there and then walked up to the Seattle Center for some exploring.

    Burger - no sign of pink there.  Cool your fingers down by touching the fries.

    Are you staying at the Hampton Inn across the street? Are you a tourist visiting Seattle Center -- or going on a Cruise? Or going to a concert or sporting event nearby? Then YES, Cairde is absolutely for you. For what it is, it's good! The only things holding it back in my opinion are the fact that their specialty cocktail list is not great, their fries were served cold, their burger was very well-done (as in, completely cooked to bits). The Seattle Dog I had was hot and delish. The Fry Bread open faced tacos tasted a lot better than they looked. The server/bartender did a good job - I think there were only 3 people running the whole place? Impressive. Many TVs to space out on while you wait, great 70s rock playlist on the stereo.

    Ohio state game
    David X.

    It's a buckeyes bar, so it's always a great atmosphere during Ohio state games. Always packed, and people are crazy about the game. Service is also decent despite the place getting super crowded. The food and drinks are okay, not the best, and there aren't a ton of options. But for watching an Ohio State football game this is probably the best place to be if you want to really feel the energy!

    Espresso martini
    Jason A.

    Clean. Friendly service. Had an espresso martini that wasn't on the menu and definitely worth it. Bartender knows what he is doing.

    Not sure why they tried the Irish Pub image, it's just a low-end sports bar with bad food and poor service.

    My husband and I were looking for ramen on our way to our parked car, however, we ended up going to…read moreKells because the hankering of a Guinness was greater than ramen in that instance of time. We ordered the Irish chowder, and corned beef and cabbage with mash potatoes, and a glass of Guinness beer. The chowder tasted like any chowder I had before but this came with soda bread, and the bread was really good. The corned beef dish was also delicious. Lots of flavor to it and certainly not salty. The cabbage (carrots and string beans) paired well with the mash and the beef. Service was quick and non- bothersome. Our waiter came to check in when they needed to and not when we were about to stuff food in our mouth which happens far too often than I would like to share. As for the establishment itself, it is quite dark, which all align with what pubs would be. Interesting to say though that the walls were adorned with art and the right pillar where we sat had a frame of what looked to be a collection of irish stamps. It was pretty neat to look at.

    I needed a Smithwick's. I frequently went to Kell's, but that was a long time ago. At Kell's…read moretoday you can get a Guinness and beer they brew themselves. Bartender recommended - no, suggested - a red ale similar to Smithwick's. It is not Smithwick's. I don't really remember the food, and I suspect that's a good thing. I asked the waiter if the corned beef and cabbage was good. He said, "We are an Irish bar." When gently pressed, he added, "A lot of people order it." The staff doesn't seem to think there's much to recommend at Kell's these days and I'm inclined to agree. 3 stars for some good memories, they still put on live music, and the fact that while nothing was great, nothing was terrible either.

    We finally got the chance to check this place out for St. Patrick's Day, and it did not disappoint…read more 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.

That's not something paying customers want to hear. I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.
