"A great people-watching spot thanks to comfortable booths along large front windows, a long bar, and a side patio along Market Street, Old Pequliar is a respite from the louder bars in Seattle. Guinness and Smithwick’s are on tap, and the atmosphere is generally understated Irish pub zen, complete with a vibey fireplace. While it’s more of a watering hole than an eatery, OP does have a small menu of economical and simple bar snacks that are even more economical during the 4 to 7 p.m. happy hour. (We thought we were being given a happy hour price when the generously sized duo of juicy lamb sliders and with fries we ordered appeared on the check for $11, but it turned out that’s the regular price.)" - Mark DeJoy
