Directly across the street from another pub, the Dubliner, Dad Watson’s is a lot more upscale. Where the Dubliner attracts the beer-and-pool crowd, Dad Watson’s (technically a brew pub that’s part of the McMenamin’s chain) is actually a great place for dinner. They serve traditional bar fare with a Seattle touch to it. The burgers are hormone free, and the menu includes sandwiches and pastas as well. Our party of three was quite happy with all of the food (especially the Manhattan chowder), and with the laid-back but nice atmosphere.
