Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Where have all the dive bars gone?

    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.

    I fear the Little Red Hen's days are numbered. The Green Lake gentrification is nearly complete. I always had a love / hate relationship with the place. Loved the cheap beer and great live cuntry music. But I can't dance and therefore had no game in that venue.

    There are no dive bars. Only hipster gin bars that are owned by a large chain.

    Now safer too

    It's vastly cheaper to drink at home. The service is far better as is the music.
    Except that fucking faggot Jay Inslee says that's not allowable now in his dictatorship.

    Inslee isn't relevant to the demise of the dive bar.

    While the Duchess isn't technically a "dive bar" I can remember swilling $3.00 pitchers of "Husky" beer and chain smoking cigs 20 years ago. Not a fancy bottle of liquor on the shelf to be seen. That was 20 years ago. I like reeking of smoke and spilt beer when I leave a "divey" bar.

    I liked the "Hilltop" on top of Queen Anne. Place where coveralled men would show up after being paid in cash. They had Budweiser, Rainier and Brew 66 on tap. That's it. Good Jukebox, and the pool table broke, so it was free for a while. Played my best pool ever there, as a poor college kid being challenged by older guy "free beer to the winner" I made some amazing shots.
    I like the $1.50 pitchers of Hamms at Dante's also. Loved the air hockey. Not sure if that's a dive bar or a college bar.
    Went to a few places around the Kingdom back in the day, I think they all went away and are Condos now.

    Not entirely related but it sucks balls the College Inn closed down. Most unique spot on the Ave and all I need is Mac and Jacks on tap.
