Friendly Staff and Convenient Location
My experience at this chill bar was great! The staff was incredibly friendly, which made it a nice place to grab a couple of drinks before turning in for the night. The bar was conveniently located right by our hotel. They also offer a couple of NA beers, which is a good option for those looking for non-alcoholic choices. The service was rated a 5, and the atmosphere was also rated a 5. The price per person was between $1–10, and there was no wait time.

Perfect Post-Travel Spot
My experience at this restaurant was perfect after a long day of travel and checking into the hotel across the street. The Shepherd's pie was outstanding, and the bar was well-stocked. It was also great to have big screens to catch the Kraken or Seahawks games.

Unfriendly Service, Disappointing Drinks
My first time here from out of town was not a good experience. From the moment we walked in, the servers were not friendly and made us feel like an inconvenience. My first drink was just alright, tasting like plain soda. When I ordered a second drink, the waitress gave me a funny look and reluctantly said, “I guess. ” This second drink tasted strongly of vodka, but I was told it was whiskey. They clearly didn’t want to fix the issue, so the drink was wasted. You’d think servers would appreciate the business, especially from a group our size. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Horrible Service, Great Location
My experience at this restaurant was primarily defined by the horrible service. Despite only having drinks, the prices were fine. However, when I pointed out a broken chair, the server's dismissive attitude, telling me to "grab one and figure it out" while rolling her eyes and huffing, was unacceptable. This lack of customer service continued when our host's beer was forgotten and when a drink order was questioned, the server responded defensively about soda brands. We felt like an inconvenience throughout our visit, which is a real shame given the great location.

Great Food, Slow Service
After arriving in the Seattle area from out of town and staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, a group of 4 of us were looking to grab a bite to eat. We found the service extremely slow, and we seemed to be forgotten about both before and after placing our order. Despite the slow service, the food was great, and everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. The environment would be a fun game-day vibe. However, the overall service left a sour taste in my mouth, which is why I'm giving a poor review. It's a shame, as it's conveniently located across the street from a popular hotel.

Great Spot for a Night Cap
I had a great experience at this little spot. I popped in after a concert for a night cap. They served whiskey on the rocks with a healthy pour. Thank you, Cairde!

Awesome People and Great Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant on Saturday the 8th was fantastic. The people were awesome. We returned after the concert, and Kyle made sure we were well taken care of. The atmosphere was great.

Great Spot for Games, Drinks, and Pub Food
On our second visit, the experience was consistently good. This is a great spot to catch a game, grab a drink, or get a quick snack before heading out to nearby activities. They offer a fun cocktail list, a good selection of beers and wine, and solid pub food. It's also a plus that you can bring your K9 buddies. Be aware that they add a 3% surcharge for credit cards, so bringing cash is advisable to avoid this fee.

Excellent Service and Tasty Food
We visited this restaurant after going to the Needle, which is very close. Our experience was largely positive. The martinis were good, and the corned beef and cabbage was really excellent. I also enjoyed the Mediterranean salad with feta, which was a nice-sized portion and very tasty. The service was awesome, with several people assisting us. It was particularly nice to see how the staff worked together and treated each other with respect, showing a true team spirit. My only minor complaint is that many of the taller tables were wobbly on the old floors, which could be a safety hazard. Otherwise, we loved the place.

Exceptional Service and Top-Notch Experience
We frequently visit Seattle for concerts at Climate Pledge Arena and always stay at the Maxwell (Pineapple) Hotel, which is just a couple of blocks from Cairde Public House. Our experiences with the food, service, and atmosphere at Cairde have consistently been top notch. This visit, however, included an unexpected situation: I unfortunately dropped my small wallet containing my credit card and ID under my barstool. I only realized it was missing after leaving and was so certain I hadn't lost it at Cairde that I walked back about a mile to a previous bar we had visited, only to confirm it wasn't there. Returning to the hotel, I was starting to panic and prepare to cancel my card. Just then, the hotel phone rang; it was Cairde! Their amazing staff had tracked me down and were on their way to deliver my lost belongings. Cairde staff member Tyler truly made my day. THANK YOU FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE. MUCH APPRECIATED!
