About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for craft beers
  • Neighborhood gem
Shawn O'Donnell's is an Irish pub located at the base of the Smith Tower in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. Since 2006 they've been serving traditional Irish fare like corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, and fish n’ chips; and, as always, 20 ounce imperial pints of the best that Ireland and the Northwest have to offer.

    The location didn’t have my reservation, even though I had updated it the day prior. The waitress wasn’t very good either. She got my order done correctly but then when it was incorrect, she came back to show me twice that she had it correct.

    Awesome fish and chips . The best fish ever. Smaller pieces with a lovely crisp batter . Only reason I didn’t give them five stars is due to lack of cleanliness. The ketchup bottle was so dirty that I refused to put ketchup on my fries . I only hope the kitchen is cleaner . Table could use a good wipe as well .

    We were dining before a Sounders game. The server was as nice as could be and the food was excellent. We will be back!

    I met a friend for lunch at Shawn O'Donnell's. We were seated next to a larger group and could barely hear each other over the noise. Menu has a wide variety of options, but it seems to lean more toward the expanded bar menu. I had the fish, chips and chowder. It was fine. Portions were a bit skimpy on the fish.

    They were very accommodating with my last minute changes to my reservation and the staff was very knowledgeable; the atmosphere top notch, and a great time was had by all. Since we couldn't be in Ireland for my husband's birthday this year, we were thrilled to have found a local place that resembled some of the pubs we hung out in Ireland. Will definitely be back!
