Where have all the dive bars gone?

This is a spin off from @YellowSnow’s poast about the closing of the Tug Tavern (RIP).
The West Seattle blog article mentioned Poggies in the junction. It’s still a dive but for how long can it survive? It’s in some prime real estate.
I think West Seattle still has the Yen Wore and possibly the Admiral Pub but longtime dives like the Alki Tavern, Ralph and Sally’s and now the Tug are lost to history. Fuck, even the lounge at the Maharaja got renovated and is no longer a seedy looking place.
Is there a point to this thread other than me trying to remember some of the snotty dive bars I’ve been to in west Seattle? Probably not.
What local dive bars are still kicking in Seattle?

My liver thanks me -
Back in my day, we had taverns. You got beer and you were happy. Fuck all these places selling fine spirits.

Lake City Way has grimy shitholes, but they are probably all out of business after this COVID bs.

It's vastly cheaper to drink at home. The service is far better as is the music.RaceBannon said:Its cheaper to drink at home

Although Seattle was great in the 80s
Pioneer Square -
When I lived in Greenwood, we found a few to hang at...Korthaus (gone), Little Red Hen, Molly McGuire's, Hattie's. Used to go to Harvey's on 99, but it was getting pretty dicey by the time we moved. The last (legit) one I was in was the Bethel Tavern, to see a buddy blow harp a few years ago...I stood out like a sore thumb, in a Tommy Bahama shirt, shorts and flip-flops, drinking IPA (I'm part of the problem), and everyone else was in Carhartts, boots, and suspenders drinking Rainier tall boys.
