    Solid list from Thrillist.

    https://www.thrillist.com/drink/seattle/best-dive-bars-in-seattle

    Some very north end options on the list. Lenny's funny enough is or was owned by a retired history / gym teacher at Roosevelt. He and the old basketball / track coach used to be there and ogle the younger women. Can't blame them. Fizzy Izzy was fucking delicious. Some of the best tots I've ever had.

    I feel like Linda's is a place where people who want to be edgy but aren't actually edgy go to drink. Edgy try hards.

    Vote is for Blue Moon though. No place has the mix of shitty bands, mostly homeless clients, and underage drinkers a true dive bar should have.

    Seattle is generally blessed by a good bar scene, with lots of options for all types.

    I like to rep the north of the ship canal.

    No love for the Alki Tavern or the Moon Temple Cocktail Lounge.

    Bunch of North End Provincials on these boreds. Not even the Buckaroo.

    What's wrong with you people?

    That said, I was in the Blue Moon once with a hot lady friend who asked the bartender for a cleann ashtray, whereupon the gray haired dude grabbed the ashtray, dumped it on the floor, and tossed it back onto the table.

    Now that's a fucking Dive for ya.

    The Buckaroo was north of the ship canal.

    There. BTW, the old Buckaroo sign is in some bar in Georgetown, now. Saw it last weekend.

    Also, how is the Duchess on this list? When I was in school, it was Greek as Fuck and clean as a whistle. Nothing but Cali College Sweatshirts and backwards "Cal" hats, to ensure I'd know the posers were from No Cal, as if I couldn't tell.

    The Duchess checks all the boxes...

    - OG Seattle Tavern which didn't serve spirits until well into the 2002's
    - Shitty service from surely bartenders
    - Narsty bathrooms - ever tried to take a dump at the Duchess?
    - 80 year old furniture

    That it's popular with college kids due to proximity doesn't make it a classy, non-divey type of establishment.

    When I've urinated at The Duchess I've wondered what kind of bacterial growth was affixing itself to the bottom of my shoes.
    I was there in the late 90s with a teammate. The dude had to pinch a loaf real bad and proceeds to the stall which at the Duchess is basically zero privacy. Some drunken frat guy walks and in and say "bro - worst place ever to take a shit!".

    So my fren got stage fright and went outside somewhere to take a crap in the bushes.
    Stage Fright in the bathroom stall. Yikes
