#2334 - Fish Tale Brew Pub, Everett, WA - 11/3/2013

This Fish Tale Brew Pub closed Sep 20, 2014

This was the second brew pub opened by Fish Tale Ales but in contrast to the long-running Olympia version, this one closed after just three years, maintaining that they could not draw enough customers when there were no events at Xfinity Arena across the street. But it's hard not to peg this one on Fish Tale, as the space lies at the corner of heavily traveled Broadway and Hewitt Ave, which has supported a large number of bars for over a century.

#2333 - Tailgator, Everett, WA - 11/3/2013

County tax records show the building currently hosting Tailgator was built in 1910, but there appear to have been bars at this address even further back from that, with the 1904 Polk directory featuring a bar owned by an E.E. Lynch here.  By at least 1913 it was the "Horseshoe Bar," and in 1947 it is listed as the "Eagles Club Room," before returning as the "Horseshoe Tavern" by 1960.

Known for a while as both "Tailgator Joe's" and "1805 Tailgator," the bar appears to have shortened its name to simply "Tailgator" in 2009. It is now a divey sort of sports bar, with cheap drinks and televisions downstairs, and a more dance club like floor above, which turns into Oakland Raiders central on NFL Sundays (Seahawks fans gather on the ground floor). It also hosts folks visiting nearby Xfinity Arena for concerts or Everett Silvertips junior hockey league games.

#2332 #S1181 - Aston Manor, Seattle - 10/31/2013

In the area industrial area south of Seattle's sports stadiums which once hosted the shacks of Seattle's Hooverville, this is a prohibition-themed EDM club -- which means you can get a bit better cocktails here than most similar clubs. But it is basically the stock techno dance club, with VIP sections and the other trappings considered classy by drunk 21-year-olds, and fun when you are in that sort of mood.

#2331 - Outback Steakhouse, WA - 10/25/2013

Unit 4612 is a standard Outback Steakhouse (which I quite like) with a little odder than normal people at the bar.

#2330 - Envy Bar and Grill, Poulsbo, WA - 10/20/2013

I searched this place in vain for something that would make anyone envious -- it seems like a boilerplate strip mall dive bar serving diner food (although with the bar separated from the grill portion by curtains). The bar at this location had an interesting name once -- the Mucky Duck -- but even that is gone now. So I searched the internets, and found this -- if you were at Envy on New Years Eve 2015, you could have seen a couple old members of Steppenwolf kick off their "Born To Be Wild 2015 Tour, which sometimes includes dancing girls and extended organ solo.

 Some people would be envious of that, no?

#2329 - Our Place, Silverdale, WA - 10/20/2013

"Our Place" seems like an old dive transported into a ski lodge and named like a gay bar. It is actuall set in an old Lutheran church, which later served as a furniture store. As you might expect from a place with the soul of a diver bar, the food and drinks were pretty basic bar fare. But our enthusiastic server Angie made it a pleasant visit, and it seems like its probably a fun place to watch a game or get a drink on a Friday or Saturday night.

#2328 - Old Town Pub, Silverdale, WA - 10/20/2013

Old Town Pub, Silverdale, WA

In 1911 to 1913, in the Old Town section of Silverdale, Washington, at the head of Dyes Inlet on the Kitsap peninsula, John Emel built a livery, with a dance hall and community center above that, and a top floor with lodging and likely a brothel. Emel also apparently ran a beer parlor there at some point, but there is no indication of when (although the description as a "beer parlor" indicates that it was after prohibition). I was informed that at one point it was "Pickles," a gay bar, but I haven't found any confirmation of that yet. The barn-like building is now known as the Old Town Pub (with eight people living above) and has been owned for the last two or three decades by Fred Lanouette, who once owned Seattle's "Backstage." It has a ramshackle, seaside charm, including tilting floors and armies of pigeons gathering on the pitched roof, with a classic neighborhood dive bar inside.
