This is one of my favorite bars in Seattle - The food is awesome and service is great. Minus 1 star because it's a smidge expensive & really hard to find parking close by, but don't let that deter you. The vibe here is also great, it's kind of dark inside with lots of little private nooks to sit in -- It has a nice hum without being too loud. It's a great place to meet, eat and talk (and drink of course). Try the mac & cheese or the shepherd's pie. The poutine is also pretty good. Edit: Forgot to add, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! The brownie w/ ice cream is the best thing ever. read more

Went for lunch on the weekend and it was fantastic! Best corned beef hash and Irish coffee I've had. Their whiskey list is extensive and I'm looking forward to trying the "break-even bottle" in the future. The pub is located in a quiet neighborhood with street parking nearby. I didn't realize the place was as large as it is from driving by. Highly recommended place to chill! read more

Mulleady's Irish Pub - Irish coffee! Yum - Irish Pub Near Me - Seattle, Washington

New owners kept everything that I think is wonderful about Mulleadys, the traditional bar and authentic Irish pub, with a refresh to every detail so it shines like new again. The food is better than ever before, quality ingredients, good wines, great menu, everything I've tried has been delicious. Always an amazing meal, cozy and friendly place...my new favorite Seattle pub. read more

Good lord, the service has been consistently bad for 2 years now, why do I keep going back?! Visited with a friend for lunch on a Wednesday, my Shepard's pie was ketchup meat and frozen vegetables. My friend had a burger that, if were to be put down, could not be picked back up without self-destructing. Taste was a 2 out of 5, service was slow and uninterested. I bet they have lots of turnover in staffing. read more

This place is fantastic! Great service, great food and COVID safe atmosphere. The Irish coffee was the best I have ever had. We also had the Poutine, Shepard's pie, and corn beef hash (my fav), all was delicious. Seriously stoked we randomly walked in here. Henry was efficient and polite.

We tried Mulleady's for the first time. Walking in I immediately noticed the funky smell that other Yelp reviews have mentioned. It smells like garbage or sewer. Not pleasant. But we were already there so we stuck it out. I ordered an ice tea and the hubby got a beer. The iced tea was terrible. I find it so annoying when you are charged 2-3 dollars for an iced tea and the (not inexpensive) restaurant uses the cheapest and worst quality tea. They already make a killing on beverages - so spend the extra few cents and get a quality tea to make the iced tea. Another pet peeve - the appetizer was brought at the same time as the main course. We tried the deviled scotch eggs and they were not good. The sausage had zero flavor. They needed a healthy dose of hot sauce - since there was no salt or pepper on the table. My fish and chips were ok. The fries were pretty good - but the fish was bitter. I am guessing they might have used a bitter beer in the batter. The hubby liked his (very large and meaty) Irish breakfast. read more

Great place. My friend Ryan Bartell and I have quite a few drinks here over the years. Love this place.

Came in for brunch and was not busy at all, which was a bit of a surprise because this place has decent reviews and what looked like a good menu. Was a bit of a pleasant surprise however, as brunch on the weekends here can be a bit of a pain to get seated quickly. We tried the asparagus salad and the Irish eggs Benedict and both were great! The salad was a bit small, but for the price was good, and the eggs Benedict had a really great combo. Instead of an English muffin it comes on a scone, and it comes with corned beef instead of ham which was awesome. The hollandaise sauce was epic too. I was actually scraping my plate a little after I finished just to try and get a little bit of extra sauce. We'll definitely be back to try dinner or lunch sometime. As others have stated the drink menu has a pretty large variety, and we had a great first experience! Recommend making the trip over to Magnolia to give it a shot. read more

Mulleady's Irish Pub - Eggs Benedict and asparagus salad - Irish Pub Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wanted to try this place hoping for comfort food and authentic Irish Cuisine. Unfortunately we won't be returning. Our first mistake was going upstairs where the bartender was also the server. Our drinks came out and since we had trouble loading the menu from the QR code we weren't quite ready to order our food. He left and ignored us for 20 minutes. Other people were seated and even got appetizers before he came back to take our order. We ordered Poutine as an app, Shepherds Pie and the Pork Shank. We never got the Poutine as an app instead it came out with our meal almost 50 minutes later. When we went to try the Poutine it was cold and the meat on top was flavorless and bland. Hoping the entrees would be good (they were actually hot) we dug in. First of all the Shepherds pie is $22 but the portion was minimal. I wasn't expecting Cheesecake Factory size but I was expecting more than a few scoops of the mixture over some very bland potato mash mix on top. The Pork Shank was even worse. While it was warm it had some cold spots and was absolutely bland and flavorless. The bar tender didn't even apologize for the cold food and he begrudgingly took it off our bill. Waiting over 50 minutes and paying just over $70 for cold bland food was not my idea of a good night spent patronizing a local business. read more

Homey atmosphere with exceptionally friendly people working there. I ordered their St. Patrick's Day four-course meal. Delightful offering and I was more than happy to support this local business during a hard time. Gotta love the little fireplace up front. Good vibes. read more

I live right up the road from Mulleady's and have come in regularly for the past year. However after my experience on St. Patrick's day I won't be coming back. I walked into Mulleady's with several friends and was immediately met by the owner who began shooing us out the door and saying "no, we're good" over and over again. I asked how long the wait was and the owner continued to say "we're good". To make matters worse a two top walked in right before us and was sat immediately. We asked if there was a reason he did not want us in his establishment and his response was again... "WE'RE GOOD". I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere in my entire life. If the owner simply did not want any more business for the evening he could have been much more tactful in his conversation. However due to the poor customer service we received the owner has now lost business for good. I don't care what kind of night the owner had on St. Patrick's, he should know that the way you treat customers matters. I would not advise going to Mulleady's unless you want to be treated poorly and sit at dirty tables. If you want a proper Irish experience do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Mulleady's will no longer be receiving my frequent patronage. read more

Not an actual Irish pub, just want a quick dining check and for you to leave. Avoid this place.

One of the best breakfasts we've ever had! We highly recommend this place! Definitely get the corned beef hash! Their coffee is amazing! read more

On a recent visit, I opted for the traditional Irish breakfast. The meal, not the tea. It was really quite good. The server introduced it as the platter of meat, and boy was it that. It was a protein/meat eater's kind of thing no doubt about it. It came with two pieces of regular bangers, at least three good sized chunks of black pudding, two eggs, American style bacon, potatoes, some grilled tomatoes, baked beans, an irish scone and something else, gosh what was it? It'll come to me--I'm sure. The scone was the probably the weakest part, but it was by no means bad. It was just a bit crumbly for my taste. The beans were good because while I love the English Heinz baked beans, these had a more interesting texture and a richer flavor. I feel like I'm forgetting something... Bacon was well done. The eggs were decent. They were obviously quickly cooked rather than delicately fried because the edges had that thin bubbled texture to them. OH NOW I REMEMBER! They gave me this huge ol' chunk of ham that must have been dang near an inch thick. That was really good. I devoured it before having the good sense to get a pic of it. I recommend this dish good stuff. I thought the vibe of the place was pretty cool. Beware if you are not within driving distance. As with all too many places in Seattle, the parking is becoming more hostile. Ugh. Oh well. Just plan ahead I guess. And they have a great beer selection. Cuz nothing says breakfast food like a pint of rich brew. read more

Very disappointing menu and service. It's always sad to lose a great place to mismanagement and ego.

Mulleady's has a dynamic atmosphere into which I enjoy popping. Approaching from either direction off W. Dravus Street, I get my first feel from what's happening on the patio - a family of diners, a couple of friends engrossed in their chat, maybe an informal business meeting, but to step across the threshold is to step into a waltz in progress; adjustment takes only one breath. At times, I have let the atmosphere guide my choices and have not been disappointed. I've had a Stuffed Olives and Tricerotops night and a Goat & Green and Eggplant & Zucchini evening. But my most memorable time is when I needed comfort and Mulleady's provided that in a Mac & Maytag Blue and Schooner IPA duo. read more

Radical. I'm a BIG fan of this bar! More than just one of only a few awesome hangouts in Magnolia, Mulleady's is a great bar when compared to all Seattle bars. Ideal for big parties and large groups, this two-story bar is quite fabulous. I came here last night for a large birthday party and we took up nearly the whole space. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, casual and fun! Whether you want beer, a cocktail or some whisk(e)y neat, they've got you covered at Mulleady's. I loved the dark wood interior as it made the space feel really homey and cozy. There were big tables, small tables, sofas and benches. The dart boards and foosball table were always in use and not a single person there didn't have a smile on their face. It'll be hard to go to Magnolia without stopping in here for a drink or three. read more

I live near this place and it is a constant source of disappointment. They do have pretty decent food, it's a little expensive for what you get, but nonetheless it is good. The biggest beef I have with this place is the ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! I am not really someone who is that picky about service, but this place never fails to suck. Last time I was there I sat at my table for 15 minutes before anyone came to greet me or get drink orders. Then it took another 30 minutes before I placed my food order. The food seemed to come out at a decent time (and like I said, it's pretty good, so I have tons of confidence in the kitchen), but then I waited another HOUR before I could ask for my check and leave. I saw my server a total of 4 times throughout the experience, and definitely could have used more beers to keep me happy. It's funny that a pub couldn't even keep my beer full. I will no doubt be suckered into going back because of proximity from my house, (last time I went because it was snowing and we didn't want to attempt driving down the hill), but it won't be for the experience. Maybe next time if I'm sitting at the bar I'll get the staff's attention better. read more

Every time I've been to Mulleady's over the years I've really enjoyed myself. They have solid, tasty food and reasonable prices. Try the Mulleady's burger! They have a great selection of beers on tap and service is always friendly. I like coming here with friends, family, and would take family from out of town here with no hesitation. In an area where there aren't too many immediate options for food and drink, Mulleady's is where you want to be! read more

I have to say I was hesitant to head to Magnolia for a Saturday night gathering and I had never heard of Mulleady's. But it was "St. Practice Day", two days before St. Patty's, so Mulleady's seemed like it could fit the bill. Well, I loved it. Two floors, each with its own fireplace (there is nothing I love more than a Guinness in front of the fire in a cozy pub), tons of seating including church pews, two dart boards, a foosball table, two happy hours, a little band stand downstairs and a dance floor. I just can't think of a thing you could add to that list to make it any better. Then I looked at the menu and it got better. In addition to breaded and fried pub items of all kinds, including Irish-ish things, they have salads which you can add salmon to! I asked the waitress what the soup of the day was, and when she said lentil/spinach/chickpea, I about hugged her. Is that weird? Anyway, I had that with a spinach salad (which came with a cheddar and bacon shortbread cookie. Next time I am going to just ask for a whole plate of those), and it was so good. The crowd was also great. At one point, a young gal with a fiddle just stood up and started playing. It seemed impromptu but I don't know many people who carry their fiddles around just in case, so it must have been pre-meditated by Mulleady's. She played a few times throughout the night. Downstairs, the coolest rockabilly band played, and all these beautiful gals and guys with slick, piled up hair danced. It is going to be hard to go straight home from work, having to pass by Dravus St and knowing Mulleady's is there... with their fireplaces... and their Guinness... and their bacon cheddar cookies. read more

I agree with Mel R., plus I have two haikus to add to the reviews: Call me crazy yet... Can walk here, great beer, food, I Won't go anywhere else. Is it Irish...no Sea-town modern, plus Lodge-ish... Thoughts of French Quarter... read more

My friend Kathleen and I recently went for a hike through Discovery Park and decided to come to Mulleady's afterward to stuff our faces. Sincere props to our friend Becky who recommended them, because they make one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. I need to give a special shout out to our friendly server Sunnie, whose disposition was... well... sunny. She never seemed to be too far away when we needed another drink, she had some helpful ordering advice for us and was able to accommodate Kathleen's special request (she prefers her bacon burnt to a crisp). What makes their burgers so divine? A perfectly prepared patty (not too greasy, not too dry), caramelized onions, a topping called tomato jam (like ketchup but sweeter), and for a few dollars more bacon or your choice of cheeses (including my favorite, gorgonzola). All this served on a toasted "artisan" bun with your choice of sides. I had the french fries, which were crispy and golden. Kathleen had a side salad of fresh seasonal greens with walnuts, chevre and a vinaigrette--a not uncommon combination, but perfectly executed and delicious. I highly recommend this as a healthier alternative to the fries. The exterior looks a little plain, but the interior is very classy with fine woodwork and high ceilings. An upstairs seating area rings the restaurant and there's a small patio area too. The bar is gorgeous and I saw many of my favorite liquors are available. I didn't try any cocktails, but given the quality of food and service I imagine they pour an excellent drink. They've got a great jukebox too--we heard all kinds of music, from Jurassic 5 to Led Zeppelin. The biggest drawback is the parking situation. The bar is in a residential area with limited street parking. Kathleen and I found a spot a little over a block away though, and the extra five minutes and short walk was worth it. So stay calm and don't sweat it, because you're in for a treat. read more

Terrible. This was by far the worst meal I have had in Seattle. Worse than the train wreck that was Machiavelli. Worse than the stuff they called "food' at Barrio. I cannot overstate how bad this meal was. We had the sliders off the happy hour menu. Our two sliders were underwhelming to say the least. One of them didn't have the slaw like was advertised and overall they were pretty unappealing. The jar of pickles were pretty tasty. Now on to the truly atrocious part of the experience. The burger. First off, I ordered + bacon and + swiss cheese. Burger arrived without cheese, which turns out is my smallest complaint about the burger. The burger was a hockey puck. It was obviously reheated from several hours ago. There was absolutely no juice left in the burger. No pink center. It was horribly dry and completely inedible. The bacon was more like bacon jerky, completely overcooked, cry, and obviously leftover from hours (or days) ago. This might have been a one-off bad experience because some idiot didn't know how to cook a burger, which is possible based off all the other crazed rantings about how the burger is great. It was terrible. Absolutely terrible. No one should pay $11 for yesterday's burger. An absolute waste of the trip over to Mongolia and the $12 an hour we paid the babysitter. Steer clear of this place. Go to Smith, The Tin Table, Voila, or Quinn's if you want a good burger. Or at least an edible burger. read more

The bar is great. They have some hard to find whiskeys, and one of the best places to get a Guinness in the city. The food here used to be decent irish pub fare, but the menu has changed pretty drastically since the last time I was there. Salad was good. Fish and chips left much to be desired. The fries were dry, and everything had some kind of sweet sauce on it. The tartar sauce and ketchup were both a bit odd. My husband had a burger, which he said was edible, but not great. read more

When the whole bar is open - 4 stars. However, they regularly rent out the upper level of the bar for parties and such. The top floor is what makes this place a great establishment. Upstairs, they have darts, foosball, board games, and another bar. If you're looking for a cool, mid-class bar to hang out at, this is the place. But if the upstairs is shutdown, find another bar. Decent food. I enjoyed it, but didn't find it extraordinary. More times than not, the upstairs is shut down (from my 9+ random visits). Again, when the upstairs is open, the place is pretty cool. 4 stars on those occasions. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have been going for 5+ years. Love the ambience as well as the menu, whose inventiveness I believe is a carry over from the previous ownership. Have had some epic burgers, fresh and tasty salads and a number of great beers at Mulleadys. Unfortunately, this establishment appears to have take a definitive turn for the worse in the last couple of visits. Food arrives cold, late, or not at all. Service is snippy ( . . . the classic, after 15 minutes of waiting and you then tag a server for a beer who replies "No, I can't, I'm not your server, sorry!" . . .) although not totally terrible. They'll survive for another year or two based on the warmth and beer selection but whoever is in charge does not appear to care about its long term reputation, which used to be stellar. read more

This place is OK if you know what you're getting into. I have 2 recommendations: Don't expect good food. Don't expect timely service. Despite this, I still come to Mulleady's fairly often. It's my neighborhood pub and I like the environment. The food options on the menu look appealing, but I've let it fool me one too many times. I almost always regret my choice to eat here. Food is too salty and bland. I find that I'm not disappointed if I stick to booze and french fries only. The outdoor seating is nice in the summer, but the service can be incredibly slow. Anytime I sit outside I make it a point to order my beer at the bar first, before sitting. These guys really need to some focus on good service if they're planning on sticking around. Too often their servers are in the weeds and not able to focus on more than one table at a time. It's really frustrating to wait for 20 minutes to see your server, only to have her resurface to drop something at another table, avoid your eye contact, then walk away. And it's not enough to have some manager-type come out and apologize for the slow service. This has happened to me several times, and it's meaningless now. Mulleadys: get a service manager and focus on customer retention. I can forgive you on the food, and chalk it up to personal taste. But the slow service is not cool. read more

Just as many of these other positive reviews have pointed out - Mulleady's Irish Pub is a stand-out in the bartending arena and, evenly so, a strong contender in the Seattle food scene. I went for the first time this past week, arriving with high expectations from the praises I had heard from my friends. This establishment met and exceeded those expectations. Shall I count the ways? 1. The name "Irish pub" does this place no justice. The menu, though rich in irish culinary tradition, is creative, inventive and adventurous without being standoffish and intimidating. A far cry from any local irish pub we may have held up as a stereotype. 2. Value, value, value. There are few places in Seattle this delicious, this thoughtful in their menu creations that serve at a price point this reasonable. Most of the main entrees are priced anywhere between $9 - $15. The appetizers are filling and great for sharing and with a cocktail menu that prices them each at $8, you could sample freely, without breaking the bank. 3. The atmosphere in Mulleady's is so comfortable and welcoming that you hardly want to leave. The staff is attentive, the bartender responsive and engaging and the general lightheartedness of the room just makes you feel good. That's all I can say about that. All in all, I highly recommend Mulleady's for any dining occasion. Family dinners, catching up with friends, date nights out, even with or without children, Mulleady's has something for everyone. read more

I fell in love with Mulleady's as soon as we entered last week! Amazing beer, great food, and awesome lively atmosphere. We stopped by Mulleady's after a round of golf at Interbay looking for some brews and dinner. We certainly found both of those. We found parking a couple blocks from the restaurant and scurried down the street to find a really nice outdoor patio with people just relaxing and drinking a beer on this warm but breezy Friday night. We had no problems finding a seat inside and opted to sit near the window to get some of that bay breeze. We were quickly approached by our server who asked what we'd like to drink. I immediately noticed 2 great beers on tap that I haven't seen on tap in a while (2 Beers Blonde and Big Sky Summer Honey). We ordered the duck fat roasted almonds appetizer and boy was it amazing. The orders among the table included the veggie burger which was handmade (non of that frozen from the store kinda stuff) and the Shepard's pie. All of our meals came out quickly and were just spectacular. I also really liked how the menu has lots of food choices at many different price points. Sometimes you just want an $8 sandwich and you could certainly get that here. But if you want something more, there were several entrees that were $10 but came with a lot more food. I can't wait to come back here! read more

I'm updating my Mulleady's review. Look, I come here all the time. It is inconceivable that I would keep going to somewhere that gets three stars. I often eat their Bangers and Mash - and I often love them. They make me a mean martini. They know who I am. So, I update my review. I give one more star. And I affirm that I love the place. read more

Sometimes what sells a place to me isn't the food, the service or the atmosphere - it's the folks who hang out there. And that's what I've liked about Mulleadys. Not the typical Irish pub fare - which is a treat, they do have the typical Irish pub drinks. Magnolia is off the beaten track - but it's worth the trek. read more

I am now a regular here! Here are some specifics I love about Mulleady's: -Rotating Food Menu full of local ingredients (currently eating locally foraged mushrooms!!) - the food is hearty and delicious. Always great color on the edges! Color = Flavor! -Leah is my favorite bartender/server/badass in Seattle. -You can come in and watch sports, spend some time in their outdoor seating, do the Irish Whiskey thanggg, or have a formal dinner. Much love, Mulleady's!! read more

I have never said this before: awesome poutine!!! The idea of poutine is kind of disgusting IMO but the poutine at Mulleady's is worth a trip to Magnolia!! It's totally unique with pulled pork and Beecher's cheddar cheese - not the usual who just barfed on my French fries kind of toppings. We had a really tasty winter salad too - had to balance out the artery clogging with something healthy. Service was great - cheerful, attentive and knowledgable bartender and a nice atmosphere. I read the review about some waitress who demanded a better tip but either she isn't there OR she is on her best behavior OR those people who left that review were rude and awful customers. In any event I really liked this place! Will go back! read more

I've been coming to Mulleady's for years. It is hands down my favorite place to grab a bite or a pint in this area. I was inspired to finally review Mulleady's having read the recent low reviews that simply do not reflect the food, drinks, or service at this local gem. I have never been greeted with less than a warm smile and a cold pint. If you are thinking of coming to Mulleady's, don't hesitate. As with most anomalous low reviews, I suspect the recent rash of low reviews are more a reflection of the reviewers than the restaurant. read more

It's a'ight.... some good things, some not so good things. I found the shepherds pie to be pretty disappointing. It's basically a pile of unseasoned mashed potatoes with a tiny bit of ground beef hiding beneath for $15. I recommend going for a classic burger instead, which is much more impressive and will only set you back $9. All of their wine bottles are $30 or under! read more
