#501 - The Boiler Room, Portland (Old Town) - 6/3/2006

Not a bad little place if you're in the mood to deal with karaoke.

#500 - Pala Lounge, Portland (Old Town) - 6/3/2006

Pala Lounge - Fairly swanky, with Balmese antiques and a nice loungey bar off the main room. I liked it.

#499 - Amazon, Portland (Old Town) - 6/3/2006

Unremarkable upstairs bar in Old Town. It seemed like they were just starting to get things off the ground and trying hard to build a scene when I went. More karaoke on a weekend for now though.

#498 - The Spot Sports Grill, Renton - 5/29/2006

Start be envisioning an absolutely generic sports bar. Okay, you're done.

Est. 1962

#497 - The Hukilau, San Francisco - 3/12/2006

Not much tiki to speak of at the Hukilau. In fact, there didn't seem to be a tiki in the place. The feel is of a college haunt for beer drinking and burgers, with only a passing nod toward the tiki theme. The drinks came with umbrellas in the straws, rather than fruit garnish.

(Last two bars posted out of order because I forgot about them from SF trip.)
