Except the Big Time brew pub. We typically started there and usually bought our kegs there. I loved it for the shuffleboard table.
Count me among those who hated it when I couldn't even smoke in dive bars anymore. I really couldn't think of any reason to go to them after that. I wasn't even a smoker except at bars.

Sloop Tavern
Big Time and College Inn were always my favorites after my (shout out to @MikeDamone) Earl’s phase (which I still remember). Those weren’t true dives but more like classic European style pubs.chuck said:I dont really remember the names of bars I went to in Seattle, even the ones in the U district.

You could buy single cigarettes at 7-11 too after the fight
They whoever they are stopped that. Too bad. -
Used to prefunc at Dantes by everyone drinking 2 pitchers each. Then head out to various destinations. Lox Stock was I think newish at the time and felt too refined for my tastes but they had dollar well drinks.

The DuchessMy first Blue Moon experience was quite interesting...The Crazy 8's were playing on a Sunday night, and I was with a large group (8-10) in town for a wedding. We cased it about 6pm, and there was a line. We dropped $50 on the bouncer, and said we'd be right back with the rest of the group (this was 85-6ish).
Things I remember: it was determined that there would be no drinking from glasses...when someone wanted some beer, they would tip their head back, and one of us would pour it from the pitcher into their open mouth (and, yes, we had women with us). We had conga lines that went thru both restrooms and behind the bar. And lastly, it was the first and only time I ever walked out of a bar shirtless...csb -
I guess they are the ones who won the fight because they were non smokers and didn't gas after 15 seconds.RaceBannon said:

I would vote Blue Moon because it had that vintage dive bar customer service whereby the bartender would treat students like complete garbage.
One time right after I graduated I walked in and was so fucked up I just said "give me whatever your favorite beer is" and the old salty dude just rolled his eyes and shoved a bottle of Sierra Nevada at me. I respect that kind of "I hope this kid is driving so he can just roll right off of the the I-5 overpass" vibe.
College Inn wasn't a dive bar, it was like what you'd get if you've ever been to Estonia or some other pissed off Eastern European country, but it was my favorite and had a shit ton of pool tables too. -
The DuchessI just can't vote against the Duchess. I used to live pretty close by and have probably drunk more pitchers of "Husky Beer" there than any other place. Too many memories and CSBs. Plus where else can you find Sonny Sixkiller at the bar most days.

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off....Zoo Tavern in Eastlake.

At one time, the zoo was owned and operated by 5 hippies - I used to know their names. There was the grizzly chick who was there most of the time. The quiet dude in the sailor's cap. The tall handsome hippy guy. Two others.... Loved that place. There was some regular with a limp named Zody who was quite good but occasionally still cheated at pool. What's become of it?louism2wash said:Zoo Tavern in Eastlake.
