#1531 - Lit Cigar Lounge, Snoqualmie, WA - 7/30/2011

If you're going to do the casino experience, then this is the type of bar you want -- a bit ostentatious, a bit swanky, a bit intimate -- with overstuffed chairs and over-contented people puffing cigars and sipping bourbon.

#1530 - Club Sno - Snoqualmie Casino Lounge, Snoqualmie, WA - 7/30/2011

Not my kind of crowd, not my kind of vibe, not great cocktails, but worth a visit for the view.

#1529 #S906 - Fine Diner, Seattle - 7/30/2011

"Fine Diner International Cuisine" was a strange placed that was open for just 2 months in the space of the former Seattle Crab Co. and the short-lived La Bera Cafe.  The space now hosts Patty's Eggnest.

The Fine Diner was an odd affair.  The decor was very sparse -- big, blank, green walls; and when we visited, there was a portable stereo blaring 70s hits (e.g. "We Will Rock You").  The food was of generous portions and reasonably good, though not what one would typically envision from the phrase "fine dining."  Cocktails were of the most basic sort. 

It's regrettable when someone's new business doesn't work out, but in some cases it's less surprising than others.
