The food is amazing I had the fish and chips and a cocktail. Delicious. The staff was attentive. The restaurant is dog and people friendly. The restaurant is actually a sports bar. We watched basketball and hockey. Excellent access to everything including the Space Needle. read more

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. read more

I was well impressed. Food was excellent, chiviche, giant pretzel, and we shared fish and chips. Everything was simply outstanding. And we paid more that day for breakfast. I don't remember our server's name (we were there in the afternoon) was upbeat and efficient. We've been visiting Seattle for a few days and this is our favorite restaurant read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Large portions of pretty darn good food. We were largely served and ignored. We're not regulars so I don't know if that's just the kind of place it is? It was clean and well set up for a sports bar. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Good food. Good service. Decent restaurant/ bar to catch a game with a good jukebox when the time is right for music.

Food great, recommend Caesar salad with grilled chicken! A bonus is the spinach with feta cheese I'd also great. Service is phenomenal! Atmosphere is great too! read more

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

Got there about 630. Took awhile to get my order taken. Lovely atmosphere. Average price and average food

Popped in for a quick bite prior to a high school game at Memorial stadium. Loved the casual vibe (seat yourself), attentive service and flavorful apps. The goods stuff: I'm not typically a cocktail drinker but the wine selection was no bueno. Thank goodness bc I had the most delicious Pink drink. Not too sweet, very refreshing and pretty. Hubs had their margarita and it was equally delicious. Hummus with veggies and grilled pita- it's weird to gush how delicious hummus is but it really was tasty! I liked the grilled pita, too! Chorizo nachos - just the right amount to share, just the right amount of toppings, love the big dollop of guac. Wish we could have stayed longer and tried more dishes. It was filling up as we were finishing, a good sign Our server was also the bartender. He was friendly, fast and made sure our drinks were not too sweet. Perfection! read more

We had a great time on the patio with our pups. This was the perfect place because we had dogs and a 10 year old with us. Our Server was amazing. The food options were also excellent.

Decent food here, but definitely not a true Irish pub feel. More like a sports bar that serves some traditional Irish meals, mostly from frozen I assume. We also did not care for the service. Maybe it's because we aren't regulars or aren't from around here... just felt like no one wanted to bother us. I also thought it was extremely loud with all the TVs. The volume of only one was playing, but the screen couldn't be seen from each spot at our table. Especially when the commercials were on, we were itching to leave. read more

I can't express how bad the service is. It's so bad that I'm writing this review while I'm here! If you're looking for good food and good service this is not the place! God awful! read more

About a month ago, we found this spot in walking distance of our hotel. We had planned on going there to meet w/ a large group of friends and family on a Sunday night after the Live Aloha Festival. There were a few people there when we arrived. We found lots of room towards the back pool table area. The set up of the place is nice, food was decent, the servers kept taking orders and bringing us food and drinks. There are lots of TVs if you're going to watch a game or 2 w/ a few people. Lots of street parking is available. However, the remarks from one of the bartenders was way off from the beginning for us. Our initial order of food and drinks, we asked Kyle if we could have a separate tab, because there were going to be a lot of us and didn't want a big mess later trying to figure who ordered what etc. He denied us of that, so my cousins couldn't ask for the same. We were all under one giant tab. There were 2 other servers taking orders etc. they were all off on what they were out of and not because we were still charged on things after they said they were out of specific tequilas when we went thru the bill. The bill came out too $900+ between 25-30 of us, and Kyle said we owed $400+ in tips. We weren't happy he was insisting on us tipping 1/2 the cost of our bill. I get that they may not have been prepared staff wise for a random large group on a Sunday night. We stopped ordering when he basically told us they were out of glasses because we used them all. Needless to say, we won't be visiting again. read more

We stopped in to have a drink and food before we went to the hockey game. Not packed but service was very slow. It seemed like just because we didn't have on Kraken gear they didn't care about us. Food was so-so and had to basically flag down anybody to get anything. Would not suggest going going unless you go on non game day or make sure to wear your Kraken gear. read more

We came to Cairde for my friend's birthday and they accommodated at least 40+ people concurrently (probably 60+ throughout the entire night), provided top tier service, and created an unforgettable night. It was Friday so there was karaoke and KJ Chris was also amazing. Highly recommend this establishment for food, drinks, or celebrations of any kind. Don't drop in though (see my edit) and email or call ahead of time to arrange a large party. Being prepared and having open communication is key to planning and executing events that are positive for both staff serving and patrons attending. For instance, I communicated with Martha, almost a month in advance, to set up a birthday party that would be one for the ages. We emailed back and forth and eventually had a call to finalize details, one of which, was moving the time of the event itself. They were extremely welcoming and ensured that we had all that we needed. She also told me that there was a concert that night in the area (Modest Mouse) which I would have been unaware of and learning that helped me plan parking accordingly. In short, my friend had a blast and it would not have been possible without the help of Cairde. Edit: I read some one star reviews mostly all from the same group going on a Sunday night with 30-40 people which the restaurant wasn't expecting that were posted about a year ago. They complained about someone named Kyle specifically. After my incredible experience with my massive group of 40+ and which grew as the night went on, I felt the need to give Cairde the benefit of a doubt and also point out potential factors as to why their experience contrasted so greatly with mine. Very few restaurants would be prepared for a group of that size coming in on a Sunday randomly. As mentioned earlier, I reached out to Cairde almost a month in advance to set up this birthday party and everything went so smoothly because of our ongoing communication and mutual respect for one another. As someone who frequently organizes large gatherings, I've learned through experience that it's always beneficial to everyone to have advance notice. In the past, if a restaurant can't accommodate all of my guests, we split up and call it a night. It would be on me as the organizer to find a place that can accommodate everyone and if I cannot, it's because I didn't plan efficiently. Based on the reviews, it sounds like they initially started out with 10 people and then invited 20-30 more as the night went on. I don't know if they made the staff aware of more people coming but regardless, never in a million years would I descend upon a restaurant with 30+ people dropping in without talking to the staff well ahead of time to ensure that everyone is prepared. A large volume of people may require more staff to work that night or even have the kitchen open later than it would be (which is what they did for us) and again while Kyle could have done better serving their giant, unexpected group, Kyle is not 100% at fault here but based on what they said, he didn't follow your instructions of separating the tab. That's a valid concern to have but to have three people from their party take the time to review their one experience? I'd say one disparaging review is enough but go off I guess. Review bombing, in addition to their ill preparedness, is indicative of what kind of patrons or lack thereof, they are. In reference to their reviews, they had a week to figure out their food situation and I'm sure the festival was exhausting but maybe try to plan a little bit better next time instead of taking a situation destined for failure from the start, getting on a high horse, and ranting into the void of Yelp. That being said, I too, am yelling into the void so whoever is reading this, just know that my experience was phenomenal and all restaurants will have off nights. Sadly, reviews posted here are usually negative and the positive experiences are left unwritten. Perhaps people find it cathartic to vent online when they could go to therapy instead. That's why I yell positively into the void to celebrate all of my good experiences as well as the bad. You can read my bad reviews too because I'm blunt when I'm thankful and blunt when I'm disappointed. People will share when they get bad service to attempt to warn others, so why not share equally as often when they get great service? What they ranted about would have been a difficult situation for most restaurants and some likely wouldn't have even attempted to randomly service 30+ people dropping in on a Sunday night. Look at the ratio of reviews. The abundance of one stars are lengthy reviews from that group which I believe is an inaccurate representation of the service this establishment provides and provided for me. I'll see if my friends want to give some good reviews too since they all had a wonderful time. I digress and I digest. Take all reviews, positive and negative, with a grain of salt. read more

I would like to share that this was the worst karaoke experience I have ever had. Do not come here. The karaoke master is a creepy old man who will not play your song. I have never been denied a song, and it is a shame. I was a visitor to Seattle and he did not make me feel welcome. Then he said he was full and it was just to let him lamely sing a song at the end.

Pros.. the service was great! That is why I gave a tip. Cons.. we had your brownie with vanilla ice cream and the brownie was thin, hard and difficult to eat.

Food was good overall. A little short of staff but the one person monitoring whole restaurant hustled to keep up.

Cairde Public House is an Irish-themed bar and restaurant in Lower Queen Anne. It's at the corner of a new condo building and so it's got a clean and modern interior and is also set up as a sports bar with lots of TVs given the nearby Kraken games at Climate Pledge Arena. We went to pre-theatre dinner recently, but there was a Kraken game the same night so things were busy. We managed to get a good table by arriving a bit earlier than we had wanted to. Selection on the menu is quite broad with a decent range of appetizers and main courses - all pretty typical American pub food. Even though there is a theoretical Irish theme, only a few of dishes are even vaguely Irish, and the of the two I ordered neither was especially authentic. Service was friendly and fast, but quite inattentive once food had been delivered. It was a busy game night, so perhaps this is expected if not ideal. Actual food quality was quite poor. For appetizers we had the giant pretzel - which was fried not baked, and not good; the crab dip which was so bad that my wife didn't touch it (and they refunded it without us mentioning it); and the sausage roll, which was OK but filled with something more like sausage gravy than sausage. For main courses I had the bangers and fries, which was again ok, and my wife had the sliders, which were bad. There was a wide selection of beer at this location, but neither of us sampled anything so we can't report back. Overall, the food quality was just too bad for us to return despite the rest of the experience being fine. We need to eat near the theatre pretty often, but there are plenty of choices better than this. Not recommended, unless you perhaps like the beer selection. read more

The food was ok and reasonably priced. The service wasn't the best and one of the waiters was kind of snippy probably cause it was very busy. We started off with one server and she never came back and another server brought us our food. We had to flag down someone to bring us the bill. They won't even bring you water since there is a water station which is fine but that it was strange for such a big establishment. Great atmosphere to watch games since they have lots of TVs to watch games so I will definitely be back to watch games and that's about it. Most of the food looked really good when they were serving the other tables their food. We just got burgers and a salad. You'll have to pay extra for extra toppings on your salad though. We paid extra for feta for a Mediterranean salad which was odd. The salad was good. Burgers were average but I feel like more fries could've been served. I didn't walk away full that is for sure. read more

I desperately want to love it, because I live in the neighborhood and the location/space is perfect, but this place just keeps failing me. the servers are all great and they have all the standard drinks, but the food is simply atrocious -- bar food is easy and they completely miss the mark. they also play the most trash music -- think Creed radio on Pandora.
