Great fish & chips! Batter is light and just melts in your mouth. If I'm ever back in Seattle I will definitely stop in.

It's an Irish dive bar. Good place to kill an hour before a Mariners game or something. Fish and chicken cooked in the same fryer, and you can taste it. Service was minimal, and it wasn't that busy. Bring some friends, or catch the live music at 9, and you'll have fun.

I had high hopes, but the owl and thistle was just a straight disappointment from the start to finish. Servers had a "I'll help ya when I feel like it." The atmosphere wasn't terrible it's what I would expect from such an old building. The food was forgettable. The Shepard's Pie wasn't good at all. The stew on the bottom was very loose and had little to no flavor and resembled cat food. The potatoes were under seasoned and took up most of the dish. In the right hands Shepard's Pie can be amazing. This was NOT that. I'll try this place one more time and I'll update this review if that visit changes anything.20+ years as a chef and some would say I am hyper critical. I am truful in all my reviews. I had high hopes? Don't know, maybe an off night? I'll return one more time to see if anything changes.

Such a great hole in the wall that you wouldn't expect from the outside the inside is like walking into a harry potter book. Our server was not the best ever she gave off a vibe that she was annoyed but the vibes made up for it

I love this place....very small irish bar. The food is not fancy which is to my liking....but the fish and chips Fish were melt in my mouth and the beef stew was hot and great. The stage here for the band is tiny....about 4 people comfortable, 5 people a little more smoothed. Because it is a small more intimate entertainment space, it doesn't need to be ear blistering and it wasn't....thank you sound man! We came to hear an Irish themed band The Blarneytones) but the lead singer was sick. Next month the Scuppermonkies will be here!! Love that fun Irish themed band .Parking: The Owl n Thistle doesn't have its own parking. Count on searching for a place and walking 1-3 bocks.

Great place to have a drink and relax. Being so close to the ferry means it's great for those of us in Kitsap too!

Pretty cool spot. Everyone always talks about it. We popped in for a quick bite. The fish and chips are of course a seattle staple but they really were good! The tartar is made in house and was a great addition. Always love a good rotating tap too. The decor was very vintage and little owls everywhere.

Really cool bar with good drinks at good prices. The staff are very nice and attentive. Live music is a plus, when they have it.
