A Terrible Beauty Irish Pub is about to open on June 28 and the owners Jenna Shannon Garvey O'Brien and Paddy O'Brien threw an invitation only preview party for friends, supporters and the media Tuesday, June 27.

Like its sister restaurant in Renton the transformed space is done in a "proper Irish pub" style with a tall back bar, dark wood, highly polished bar, comfortable booths, and an extensive menu offering everything from a massive Reuben sandwich, to the Ploughman's Platter of greens, meats and cheeses. Their full lunch and dinner menu can be seen here, and their brunch menu, served on the weekend is here.

As an Irish pub they feature beers such as Guinness of course but also Smithwick, Kilkenny, and Boddingtons. The full list includes 28 beers on draft. On the whiskey side they offer a range including Jameson, Tullamore Dew, Bushmills and others.

This party was a test of the kitchen and the staff and as Jenna put it, "We have to push ourselves to the limit to see what's working and what isn't so we can get it right." While there were some issues, no one was unhappy as they enjoyed a few beers while cheerful Irish music played. For the party it was pre-recorded but as a rule you can expect live music to be played many nights of the week. "Terrible" Karaoke is a likely addition for certain nights of the week as well.

This is a family restaurant so it's not a quiet place (though there are quiet corners). It's meant to be a place where family, friends and associates can gather and enjoy good food and good drinks in a convivial atmosphere.

Still being readied inside the pub is their Irish Market. Literally a store inside the restaurant that will sell t-shirts, hoodies, glassware, plus import foods,specialty bottle beers, and a variety of take home food items including chicken curry pies, Cornish Pasties, sausage rolls, and Bangers Irish Sausages.

They are open every day at 11:00 am for lunch with a Saturday and Sunday Brunch starting at 9:00 am till 3:00 pm.
