#1755 - Leatherheads Pub, Stanwood, WA - 4/28/2012


 This is cozy, two-story brewpub is half firefighter museum.  It is run by some ex-firefighters out of a 1929 Spanish-style building, moved to its current location in the 1950s and serving as the West Stanwood Volunteer Fire Department until 1963. It serves fairly typical modern brewpub food and beers.

Est. 2009 - Building constructed: 1929

#1754 - Conway Pub, Conway, WA - 4/21/2012

The Conway Pub & Eatery -- referred to as the "Conway Tavern" by almost everybody -- is a big, fun place in the middle of nowhere, except that it's a small ways off Interstate 5. Like many fun bars in the middle of nowhere, it caters to bikers, but also has a mix of little old ladies viewing the tulips, kids, locals, and more.  It is in the lower part of a barn-like legionnaires hall, with a large "oyster garden" patio outside.  Knut Bell often plays there.

The Conway has a decent beer selection and serves basic bar food, though it's known for its pan-fried oysters (I am incapable of eating/judging oysters). It is said to have been established in 1932, though I do not know how soon after prohibition ended that it started as a bar. It is the lively mix of people that will likely bring you back.

#1753 #S1022 - Serendipity, Seattle - 4/18/2012

The older (2008) cafe portion of this restaurant is very kid friendly. Fortunately, the newer bar portion that runs alongside it is fairly cut off from the wretched little beasts, and one can sip a cocktail and enjoy a Mariners game in relative peace.

There didn't seem to be a lot of cocktail expertise, but there is a good selection of beer and wine and some nice spins on "comfort food."

#1752 #S1021 - The Nook, Seattle - 4/18/2012

Update: The Nook closed in early 2014

This fairly tiny space squeezed into Magnolia has a nice wine selection like the previous occupant Swirl, but has a more relaxed vibe, serving sandwiches and small plates.  I had a nice conversation about Seattle bars with the bartender Nick.
