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.
