Duchess Tavern in Ravenna 21.01.2022 44:21

We go true-crime drama when we dive into the salacious history of Duchess Tavern. Felonies! Intrigue! Crooked Cops! And high stakes pool games. Recorded live at Duchess Tavern in Ravenna where belligerent Huskies and an occasional mass murderer are known to hang out. But don't even think about loitering around here if you're not willing to join the Beer Hunter club. "Whatcha drinkin?" gets into th...

Pike Brewing at Pike Place Market 09.01.2022 49:00

Hey! This isn't a dive bar! Yes, it's true - we veer away from our normal dive bar hangouts and head to the Pike Pub around the corner from Seattle's famous Pike Place Market. This classy establishment is home to not only the great Pike Brewery, but also it's founder Charles Finkel. Charles chats with us about beer, wine, the local microbrew scene, and international booze history. A can't-miss epi...

The Sloop Tavern in Ballard 24.12.2021 45:06

Recorded live at The Sloop Tavern in historic Ballard, a stone's throw from the Ballard Locks. But more importantly, a stone's throw from Lake Union and a couple more stones' throw from Lake Washington where the famous Sloop Tavern Yacht Club races, cruises, pirates, and meets at The Sloop afterwards for a few pints. For unknown reasons none of us order a Slooper-sized 34 oz. beer. But we do rambl...

Includes staples "Whatcha drinkin?" and...

The Cabin at Richmond Beach 27.11.2021 49:15

Recorded live at The Cabin in Richmond Beach, Shoreline. Built in 1927 and opened as a bar in 1933, this historic tiny tavern served longshoremen and lumber mill workers for decades. Steadily sinking and settling over the years, The Cabin now has a quirky tilt that gives this local watering hole a whole lot of charm. This episode features the ubiquitous "Whatcha drinkin?" and "Whatch got?" segment...

Recorded live at Woody's Bar on Aurora. Formerly Echo Lake Tavern, formerly Joe's Tavern, and formerly Melby's Tavern on Echo Lake (circa 1933).
