An Authentic Irish Pub Meets American Cooking

Who doesn’t love a great Irish pub? Better yet, who doesn’t love a great Irish pub with an American grill? Shawn O’Donnell’s American Grill & Irish Pub serves up the very best of both sides of the Atlantic with hearty fare, old-world charm, and all the famous hospitality of the Emerald Isle. Not only that, all of this is just steps from Smith Tower’s front door on 2nd Avenue in Pioneer Square. Put it all together and you have everything that makes a Seattle classic.

Proud Winners of Seattle Times Best All Around Restaurant 2023 & 2024

We first opened our doors in Everett, Washington in 1990, and have since grown into a family-owned group of restaurants known for serving quality fare with a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. Our Seattle location in the historic Smith Tower opened in 2013 and has quickly become a cornerstone of the neighborhood.
We’re best known for our legendary Irish specialties — like our corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, and Guinness beef stew — as well as our award-winning fish n’chips, burgers and scratch-made soup. Behind the bar, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated selection of Irish whiskeys, local craft beers, and of course, perfectly poured Guinness.

Whether you’re popping in for lunch, gathering for happy hour, or settling in for a cozy dinner, Shawn O’Donnell’s is proud to offer a warm seat and a satisfying meal.
