For many years, from at least as early as 1948 into the 90s, this location hosted the "Meet Me Here Tavern." (I'd love to find some a picture or two of this place.) It became the Greenlake Ale House in the 90s, and then the popular Kangaroo and Kiwi was established in 2001. I did not go there that often but I have a few fond memories of the old places -- including the Greenlake Tavern erupting in screams at a shot of Bobby Ayala warming up in the Mariners bullpen, and some Aussies at a Seahawks game at K&K yelling "Kill 'em! Kill 'em!" Here's wishing Olde 99 good luck.

I have a great many memories of the old "Meet Me Here" Tavern, as my parents owned it between approximately 1958 and 1962. Alas, I don't have any pictures of it from that era. There was the usual jukebox and a shuffleboard and a "U" shaped bar.
