Located in downtown Kirkland, the Wilde Rover is a popular Irish pub that appeals to as many college kids as it does retired folks. The gorgeous space boasts sprawling wooden floors, an outdoor deck overlooking the water, and a stage for the many bands that provide live music. Loyal patrons know all too well that Wilde Rover offers both an early- and late-evening happy hour daily, serving cheap pints and grub like curried chips and Jameson whiskey wings. But for absolute proof of the pubaE™s beloved status in the neighborhood, look no further than trivia night, a regular Wednesday occurrence that draws almost as much of a crowd as St. PatrickaE™s Day does.
