If You Live In Seattle And You’ve Never Been To Ireland, You’ll Find It At The Owl n’ Thistle

I moved away from Seattle several years ago and I miss many things about the wonderful city. Owl n’ Thistle Irish Pub maybe one of the places I miss most. I’d never been to an Irish bar before 1996 when one of my friends asked me to meet him there one weekend night. I was immediately taken by the music. The Owl, as we called it, was home to Seattle’s leading Irish musicians.  The one common denominator with all the bands I saw there was the authenticity of the bands. These were genuine Irishmen, not Americans trying on lame Irish accents. Another thing I loved about the Owl was the food. While Ireland isn’t known for culinary excellence, I found the Owl’s food to be excellent and the portions to be right. The food was so good that I made it a typical first date destination. I’d especially recommend visiting on St. Patrick’s Day. Multiple bands, the proper Irish spirit and an environment that can’t be beat. You won’t find troublemakers passing out from too much green Miller Lite, just people who appreciate the Irish culture and want to celebrate the right way.
