#812 - 5th Avenue Tavern, Seattle - 5/6/2009


A nifty, old neighborhood tavern -- one of the oldest in Seattle. Like any good neighborhood place, it has no spectacular features (though there's an interest mural wrapping around the back room), and its continuing attraction depends on the quality of conversation among the regulars. So it's nice to find people like James the bartender and Dan the long time regular who love to talk local history, whether its what the area was like 100 years ago or what the local music scene was like 15 years ago

I'm happy to see this. MY parents owned the 5th Ave in the 70-80. Betty Lynch and Walter Peel.

Thanks for the info. I'd love to hear any more you might have on the history of the bar.
