Shawn O’Donnell’s Going All-In on St. Patrick’s Day

Shawn O’Donnell’s family business

It may come as no surprise that the Everett-born, family-owned Irish restaurant, Shawn O’Donnell’s is celebrating St Patrick’s Day.

Shawn O’Donnell’s started as “41st Street Bar & Grill” in Everett in 1987 and then was renamed “Shawn O’Donnell’s.”

After 17 years in their original location, they moved to the 128th Street location in a newly built facility.

Eventually, O’Donnell’s expanded into Seattle, Spokane, Mount Vernon, and Butte, MT, for a total of six locations.

“St. Patrick’s Day is all about Irish Hospitality. We love sharing our heritage, traditions and Irish food with the community. We have a lot of fun events to bring people together. Guaranteed to be a great time.” —Shawn O’Donnell Sr.

Here are some of the fun activities Shawn O’Donnell’s has planned to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year:
