Not Seattle but honorable mention. Funny that none of my dive bars are on this list because no REAL dive bar would still be in operation. My dive bar days were 40 years ago. Can't even think of the main one we went to on 6th Ave by the old United Airlines Bldg

I miss the days of smoking cigs in REAL taverns. No booze. Just beer and shitty wine.RaceBannon said:Not Seattle but honorable mention.

The DuchessShout out to the original Swannies, where the old school beisbol dudes did their post-game drinking, Kingdome version.
Edit: 2 other also-rans...the Roanoke down the end of 10th, and the Korthaus in Phinney Ridge (RIP)... -
F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off....
I've discovered that the locals to Tacoma are very fond of The Poodle Dog. Shithole, but it's *their* shithole.RaceBannon said:Not Seattle but honorable mention.

Should have had the Roanoke on here. $1 taco night was an old Yella staple.Fishpo31 said:Shout out to the original Swannies, where the old school beisbol dudes did their post-game drinking, Kingdome version.

Earl's was kinda dumpy but always felt more upscale than some other close to UW spots.BleachedAnusDawg said:Earl's. Might not be divey enough versus the field here, but great spot to be overpoured and it was a block from my apartment during college.
Major ommission on my part with the Baranoff in Greenwood. That place is ruff. I once got put in a headlock by a 250 lb black lady there once. Good times.

Sloop TavernWhile not the greatest, Dante’s (RIP), The Viking (RIP - that was my go to watering hole for years) and Linda’s deserve honorable mentions.

I dont really remember the names of bars I went to in Seattle, even the ones in the U district. Too long ago and i drank way too much. I can picture different places in my mind but can't put names to them.
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.
