Tonight after showing a property, my husband and I went to downtown Kirkland for an evening out. We decided to try the Wilde Rover Irish Pub and Restaurant, which has a live band on Saturday nights. It was only 8:30 pm, so we avoided a cover charge.

The band "Weatherheads" started with a Beatles song at 9:30, and heated up to a slew of 60s & 70s rock‘n'roll favorites. In no time at all there were dancers getting in some aerobics out on the dance floor. It was a mixed-ages crowd, friendly, and I am so glad smoke free now.

They have excellent food, and when the weather gets nicer, a really pleasant outdoor eating area. This is one of the few remaining night spots with live music and dancing in downtown Kirkland, at 111 Central Way. This is a fun place to go if you want an evening out!

I really like shopping at my local Kirkland Safeway store, Live Search Local: Safeway Stores located at 12519 NE 85^th St, Kirkland WA 98033. It is actually located on Rose Hill, in Kirkland. I guess that I am partial to Safeway because I have learned their products, their specials, and their similar layouts in Safeway stores from Alaska to Arizona.

The employees at the Kirkland Safeway store nearly always call me by name during checkout. They usually ask me if I want help with my groceries out to the car. That is rare customer service these days.

Best of all, they are not pretentious. They offer good service at a fair price, which is what most people with bills and mouths to feed need. It is always nice to chat with one of the local high school kids on the way to my car.

If you are moving to Kirkland, I recommend giving this neighborhood grocery store a chance for your business.
