#1323 #S793 - Bottleneck Lounge, Seattle - 12/21/2010

A hodgepodge of a neighborhood bar that seems like a lonely last stand among the French cafes of Madison. A nifty little place.

#1318 - The Pumphouse, Bellevue, WA - 12/14/2010

Just across 405 from downtown Bellevue you step into the Pumphouse and it's like suddenly you're nowhere near Bellevue.  The decor isn't Bellevue, the staff isn't Bellevue and the clientelle are not Bellevue.

No augmented breasts and white striped shirts, just a blue collar crowd eating burgers and drinking big steins of beer.  It's as if you stepped over the highway and into Sequim.

Update: Harlow's closed in Sep. 2011

A new divey bar from the owners of Moshi Moshi and Bricco.  It's in a great space and successfully feels like regulars have been hanging in it for 50 years.
