Editorial Review for Conor Byrne's Pub – by Ted Fry

The Scene
Ballard's newest influx of hipsters, singles and anyone else wanting a bit o' the green frequent this bar. The facade could have been ripped directly from a side alley in County Cork; a simple green signboard with the proprietor's name sits atop the window-framed entry. Inside, the brick walls are mellowed with upholstered benches, photos of Irish scenery and a large portrait of James Joyce.

The Draw
The specialty here is an immaculately drawn 20-ounce pint of Guinness, served by a barman with a bona-fide Irish brogue. Irish music, from the traditional claypipe-fiddle-tin whistle to Celtic-inspired sounds, fills the bar on Saturday and Sunday nights; a mix of bluegrass, folk, alt-country and more can be heard the rest of the week.

Just wanted to give an updated review of one of the best pubs in Seattle, Irish or not. For those who have not been there in a while Conor's now has liquor AND food! For about a month now they have been serving 5 or 6 different kinds of grilled sandwiches... delicious! It remains to be a great place to grab a Guinness, Irish Coffee or any other non-Irish drink of your choice. There is still music of all types most nights of the week, which always adds to the fun. More than anything, Conor's is one of the best rooms to hang out in on Ballard Avenue... if you haven't been there in a while I suggest you check it out.

Pros: Food, Drinks and Atmosphere

Cons: Only two bathroom stalls

To go to any bar, especially an Irish Bar on St Pats day and expect tip top service is asking a little much. I was there that night and given the fact that it is the superbowl of drinking nights, i thought everything was fine. To have expectations on a night like that is amateurish.
