F.X. McRory's Steak Chop and Oyster House, one of Seattle's most popular bars and a hub for sports fans, was opened in 1977 next to the Kingdome by restaurateurs Mick McHugh and Tim Firnstahl. Famous for its Irish pub feel, 45-foot-long marble bar, and massive selection of spirits, the restaurant closed in June 2017 when the new owners of the restaurant's building at 419 Occidental Ave South decided to seismically retrofit the 111-year-old building's basement.

In this image Peter Carlson gets a fresh cup of coffee from server Marie Bouvet during a holiday dinner for the homeless at F.X. McRory's, which dished out 280 meals that day.
