Fadó Irish Pub
(Nightlife - Pub)

Distance: ~1144 ft *

Inside, you'll find quintessential dark-wood bar areas, cozy nooks, and plenty of "pub" ambiance. The place tends to get packed quickly after the sun goes down, and many nights, Fadó features live music – dancing is always encouraged – as well as special events to celebrate soccer (football!) matches. To mark your visit, stop by the gift shop and pick up a few things Irish. And remember to arrive early to snag a table and avoid a cover charge (which is cash-only).

Latona Pub
(Nightlife - Pub)
6423 Latona Ave NE, Seattle  98115 • 206-525-2238
Distance: ~4.66 mi *
        Description: NORTH METRO. Regional brews like Red Hook, Elysian, and Pike Place are given top billing at this tavern, which has made a complete turn-around from the dive it was a decade ago.

Although the beer list rotates frequently, you can always count on one cask-conditioned offering. Scrumptious food choices include dishes like beef burgundy pot pie, duck confit salad, wild salmon filet, and chicken curry.
