To be fair I have to say that the place was just newly opened, the staff was probably new also and this may have been the 1st St Paddy's. First off the $10 cover was a bit much just to walk thru the door. We were given photo copy menus which didn't include what the items consisted of. My wife... More

Went to this pub with friends 2 months ago on a Sunday evening and we all enjoyed the experience. Although we decided to go there for the music first, the food impressed us quite a bit: their Guinness braised Irish beef stew, their daily baked-in-house white Irish soda bread and their bread pudding were particularly delicious. I ordered a "common"... More

It was a nice way to spend a Saturday morning. We didn't rush to get over there, since the brunch menu is offered from 9am-2pm Sat & Sun. It's a small place, but there was plenty of open seating when we arrived. Our server was attentive and prompt even though she had 3-4 other tables (and didn't bring us the... More

We have been regulars at this bar in the South Lake Union neighborhood since we bought a place nearby in 2007. We had made it a Sunday night tradition to come here with family and friends, drink Guinness, have dinner and listen to live music, until the food quality went way, way downhill. The service has always been poor, but... More

Warm, animated, but very noisy Irish pub. Five star for ambiance. My Irish Beef Stew was more like a soup, watery with few chunks of meat and veggies and it came with a sweet soda bread. I should have opted for the Shepard's pie which looked wonderful as it sailed past me to a neighbor's table. My friend's Caesar salad... More

The atmosphere reminds me of pubs in England. The menu has many options. I love the chop salad, sliders, and fish and chips. Relax and enjoy. Friendly staff. More

My wife and I dropped by the Seattle Paddy Coyne's late one Sunday night. It was the only place nearby still serving food. It turned out to be a stroke of luck. Paddy Coyne's doesn't feel like a chain, cookie-cutter Irish-style pub. It looks like a real Irish pub ... except there are no snugs (a pity). The Irish stew... More

We arrived a half hr before our friends, was seated at the table of our choice, given a run down on what makes Paddy Coyne’s special, brews & food wise, ordered from the happy hr menu. Our server was very nice and checked back with us often keeping our water glasses full, making suggestions for our next beverage or food... More

Good spot for a pint or bite. Grab the table by the fireplace for a cozy winter evening with friends. More

Much more of a bar than a restaurant. The food is okay but they get docked because they no longer honor happy hour food prices to go. Good atmosphere for a bar. The biggest issue for me is that their customer service ranges from courteous and friendly... to downright rude and condescending. More
