We went to the soft opening of the new Paddy Coynes location on Pier 70 last night. Since we arrived relatively early (just before 6PM), we nabbed a great spot in the corner near the fire - highly recommend this table for those chilly, drizzly Seattle winter evenings! Our server's name was Kevin and for being on the job for a whopping 2.5 hours before we sat down at his table, he was phenomenal. Great service - attentive but not hovering, more than happy to accommodate our more interesting requests (example: hubs asked for a ""small Guinness""). Waters were never empty, good deal. As per usual, the soda bread is the best in Seattle. Both the white and the wheat - go get some! It's actually Pat's mom's recipe and it is stellar. They also sell it in loaves for take home and it freezes well. Just sayin'. I ordered the Wedge Salad with salmon, sans red onions. It was just what it purported to be: a great slab of iceberg covered in yummy, chunky blue-cheese dressing studded with bacon and tomato slices. A good-sized hunk of light salmon adorned the plate not totally covered in iceberg wedge. It came with a steak knife for cutting the wedge and am I glad it did! It was a little tricky maneuvering the cut-up lettuce on the plate (small plate), but I managed and the whole thing was quite delicious. Great flavor in the blue-cheese dressing (which can make or break a wedge salad) and the tomatoes actually tasted like tomatoes (not like nothing, which can be the case often). Two friends ordered the Shepherd's Pie and I was lucky enough to taste a bite: again, great stuff! I'll be back to try it on my own, it was warm and flavorful and the perfect menu item for a cold night. Another friend went with the Potato Leek Soup and declared it wonderful. The only thing that didn't totally stand out was the Irish Stew - it was overall pretty good (huge portion!), but was too salty - chalk it up to a new kitchen and a soft opening, hopefully it was just a one-time thing for the stew. Overall, the new location is great now and will be even better once the new tunnel is in place and the Viaduct is down. If you're here for lunch, it's right next to the Olympic Sculpture Garden; perfect for an afternoon stroll after your meal. more

Service can be hit or miss depending on who you get. Been here for lunch was, not recommended as it's just typical bar fare and not superb. But breakfast is GREAT! Bloody marys are incredible!! Wonderfully spicy. The orange marmalade that comes with the toast should be outlawed! Bacon is thick and crispy. Coffee might have crack in it. I don't have any other reason for how it can be so yummy. more

In a city where Irish pubs are aplenty, Paddy Coyne's sets themselves apart by adding an urbane appeal. Pros: Good atmosphere, great service more

The Lincoln Square Paddy Coynes was mostly empty when I walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender studiously ignored me for at least five minutes. When he finally ackowledged my existence, he acted like he was doing me a favor by taking my order. Normally I wouldn't use the words ""stuffy"" and ""Irish pub"" in the same sentence, but in this case I have to make an exception. I guess that's what happens when you put a pub in Lincoln Square. Pros: decent scotch selection, Boddingtons on tap Cons: unfriendly bartender, bad service more

New to Lincoln Square in Bellevue, Paddy Coyne's needs a lesson in the expectations of the Eastside set. Pros: Friendly waitstaff, fancy pub woodwork Cons: One (dirty) toilet, bad bartender, so-so beer selection more

Great harassing bar tender and the best corned beef hash I have ever had. Definite Sunday morning must have. Pros: atmosphere, food, parking more

Paddy Coynes is most likely easily overlooked, hidden away on an industrial street on the first floor of an apartment building. If you like good beer on tap, great service, a small but fun atmosphere and great traditional Irish food this is the place. Pros: Good Drinks, Great Service, Awsome Food Cons: Small Place, Kind of Dark at Night more

This place may be fine for food after work but is definitely not a bar. Expensive, pretentious, overrated, and boring. Pros: Food? Cons: Expensive, pretentious, overrated, and boring. more

South Lake Union is already a waste of time until people move there in the droves Paul Allen envisions without this waste of space. $5.50 for a pint of Calrsberg is ridiculous! If I want to go to happy hour for food not drinks (no discount on drinks after work) then I'll go to a restaurant. The bartenders and staff consistently had disgusting attitudes without reason while at the same time screwing up orders. To top it off asked a table to be quiet. Isn't this supposed to be an Irish pub? Cons: Service, Prices, No happy Hour Drink Specials more

Nice, sophisticated neighborhood bar with a decent menu. Pretty good happy hour specials. Nice indoor/outdoor seating arrangement. A lot of people from area biotechs go there after work. Pros: Great place for dinner Happy Hour style Cons: It's all good more

Well, I do have a confession- my boyfriend bartends there, so I tend to go in a lot to pick him up or just to hang out. So many wonderful regulars- young and old, plus new faces all the time. Always a good time, great service, and yummy eats. I am in love with the chicken burger right now, but I also favour the chicken skewers. They also have a Steak Special on a certain weekday, but I can't remember which day. Magners Irish Cider is the the most popular drink there, besides the Guiness of course. People always go to watch the Soccer and Rugby matches on tv. Don't try to make reservations, but if you have a big party, you can rent the bottom room with its own flatscreen tv and even have the event catered! Pros: friendly, good food, great prices, always fun Cons: sometimes parking, only 1-person men/women bathrooms more

We love to eat here for the atmosphere and the food. The staff is always very friendly. The Guinness beef stew is delicious, as are the steak sandwich, cheeseburger, potato skins, french fries, well, everything. You can't beat this place when there's a fire in the fireplace and you're with friends. It's somewhat small, but there's a patio when the weather's nice. I highly recommend Paddy Coyne's for a bit of the old sod. Pros: Great atmosphere Cons: Parking more
