    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.

    Great fun, food and libations! Loved the bar setting. Fun place. You won't be disappointed. Terry says so!

    Wow amazing this place is so cool!!! Good was amazing! Bar tender was very knowledgeable and fast! If you are visiting Seattle and want a drink make sure to stop in and see Gayle and Mike!!!

    Chicken tenders and fried
    Roxy K.

    Well the quesadilla didnʻt look like the pic... but it was good and the sauce came after I had ate half... the chicken tenders looked yummy! The sauce was horrible. There was no toilet seat covers in the restroom. They didnʻt provide utensils for our to-go order. There was only one person working as the bartender, waitress, etc. Given it was the middle of the day, but still... service was slow. The music was so loud we couldnʻt even hear ourselves.

We also shared the combo silog which was a great way to sample more of the menu. I enjoyed the garlic rice and ilocos especially. The diner feels so cozy and homey - old photos of the owner and customers and magnets his guests left are a nice touch. Friendly and attentive service despite the busyness.

You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

    Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

I didn't find the pours I got to be particularly memorable. I had a Circuit breaker which was probably the best. Pomegranate sour was passable as was the Citra streaker, but none of them slapped. The place was swamped with people and while I understand the setting. for the number of staff running around here, the place was dirty. I'd think they'd have a couple of the servers come thought and sweep up and clean the tables. So my impressions of Old Stove is that it's a huge restaurant/brewery that tourists can come to as it's close to Pike Place and the pier, but as a result is slammed so bad that it looks a bit worse for the wear, or at least it was on my visit on a weekday evening.

They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.
