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.

I really enjoy a night at Connor Byrne's, especially Tuesdays for 'Miss H's Variety Show'. She gets the crowd going; moreover, she gets a crowd. Open mics used to be more standard, this is more of show and is highly entertaining. A lot of the old regular open mic performers don't like the change but it brought a new life to the place. Other than that, the service is the same (and same staff) as before and the decor hasn't changed. What are people talking about? A great guiness pull can be had here. Love it!

Pros: Location, Good Guiness Pour, Hillarious Open Mic

Cons: No food!

Since Conor sold the bar (not to MS yuppies) the atmosphere has changed. It's not an Irish pub anymore. It is however, still a nice place to grab a pint. Tuesdays is open-mic night, and if you go regularly, you'll see the same acts almost every week, which can get a bit stale.

Pros: Good beer selection, Clean

Cons: Can get crowded, Can get smoky

The last poster has no idea what they are talking about - the 'new' owner (who has owned the place for some time now, so isn't really new), has no ties whatsoever to Microsoft - this place is still a great local hangout, has good beers on tap and good live music. I just wish people who post reviews did their homework before spouting off at the mouth *s*. Conor himself still frequents the place and plays there, even!

Pros: best Guinness, laid back feel

Cons: no food

Editor's Review

Traditional music and 20-ounce pints make for an authentic Irish experience in Ballard.  See the full editorial review.
