#889 - Spur Gastropub, Seattle (downtown) - 9/10/2009
Update: Spur closed on April 14, 2016
Spur is a fairly average looking bar with no really outstanding physical personality. But what makes it one of my highest recommendations is that every frickin' cocktail and every damn food item I've ever tried there has been fantastic. It's neither super pricey nor cheap, but if you go at Happy Hour (5-7pm Sun-Thurs, 11pm-1:30am Mon-Sat) you can get a couple dishes of some of the better food you've ever had and two or three really interesting and tasty cocktails for around $40. You won't know how great a deal that is until you actually taste it.
113 Blanchard, Seattle, WA 98121 - (206) 728-6706
Est. 2008 - Closed April 14, 2016 - Building constructed 1927

#887 - Al's Tavern, Seattle - 9/6/2009
Okay, I'm knocking off two bars that I was 95% sure I'd been to before a few times, but wasn't certain until I verified them from inside. Al's has been around since 1940, and has a classic, neighborhood bar, poorly rendered but oozing with local personality mural on the back wall. It's a quite pleasant neighborhood dive.
