Few spots in town get as cozy and convivial as the back room at the Owl ‘n Thistle, where the house band spreads a rootsy pop vibe most weekends and the downtown post-work crowd mingles with blue-collar types over beer, booze, and tasty snacks. The warm, wood-hewn space has the feel of an English pub, especially when you remove to the adjoining dining room, with its cottage atmosphere. In yet another room off to the side, you can break from the music and throw darts, play pool, or relax with friends. That’s a lot of options under one roof, and that’s why the Owl ‘n Thistle keeps its loyal crowds coming back year after year. 808 Post Ave., 206-621-7777.
