This fast growing Irish pub offers great food music most nights and some great handles of beers. I have had may dinners as well as weekend brunch. Also just a wonderful bar if you want to only have a drink and listen to some good irish Music. As close to a Dublin Irish Pub as you will find in Seattle More

This restaurant not only has great Irish food, but they have music almost every night of the week. Erin McNamee is there with her lovely voice and nice selection of music a couple of nights a week, and the other day we were able to be there for the Firefighters Drum and Pipes - what a sight and sound!

I've eaten here twice, and love the atmosphere, the friendly service, the food, and the rotating brews list. So far, no complaints. The first time we brought family here for Saturday brunch, the second, lunch with my husband. Their Reuben sandwich is probably the best I've ever had; my husband has had the fish & chips and the corned beef... More

I'd give it a higher rating but sometimes the service can be slow. The friendliness, beer and food selection on top of live music totally makes up for it. The staff does do their best to keep up with the group. A must do is brunch on the weekends (with live music) as well as trivia nights on Thursdays. More

We go to ATB every Thursday night for Trivia and dinner with friends and family. The waitstaff can't be beat, and the food is fantastic. Rotating desserts are to die for. I have a family member that comes to town every few weeks for work and since we took him here on a Thursday night, he makes a point of... More

Our friends took my wife and I here and all of us had a great time. It was a Saturday night around 7pm and they had a duet playing Irish songs. My wife had the stew and I the Sheppard’s pie. Both were served in a cast iron pan right from the oven. Portions were a little small only because... More

Both my husband and I got the shepherds pie and we ate so much we had to take a nap. The meat wasn't ground beef but stew meat and everything else on it was just as yummy. I am drooling just thinking about it. Also our server had a heavy hand on our drinks which was a plus. It did... More

I looked on this site yesterday for a recommendation for a restaurant in the Renton area. I saw the rating for this place and it looked good. We took some friends with us. We gave ourselves an hour before a movie to grab a bite to eat. After our order was taken we waited an hour for our food. (So... More

This review is for the West Seattle ATB. My wife surprised me by taking me here last night for a date. The atmosphere of the place is somewhat neutral, in that if you changed out the menus and such, it could be just about any kind of restaurant, but since it's new, perhaps they're still working on that. My default... More

Absolutely love it! The food is delicious, the atmosphere energetic and inviting, and the staff extra friendly. I tend to be fairly critical of restaurants, but was so happy to eat here. I'm in town for just 3 months for work, and I will definitely be making this a regular stop! More
