No kidding. Thats why I brought a woman with me when I started at WSU so I didn't have to take a sheep home. Those sheep are fun to drink with though. Besides I thought sheep were initiation material for frat boys anyway.

I've seen lots of cool Taverns on various fishing trips. Always gotta stop, out of curiosity and to see what the local flavor is all about. But hey, what about Bubba's on Hwy 2, Sultan. I hit it after fishin' or boarding. There is carpet in part of it, but it goes well with the 1970's recliners too. Haven't hit that place in awhile, gonna have to soon.

exchange tavern in spanaway oldest beer hall in tacoma its on park ave south end of spanaway lake kinda a hidden little sht hole. but my all time fav is Skinny Dicks out side of fairbanks now that is a true fun little sht hole

Is that the one where they ask you to throw the peanut shells on the floor. I think I went there once when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis. I say I think because I was so damn drunk all I remember was people telling me that it was the oldest tavern in "bla bla" and "bla bla" and to put your peanut shells on the floor "bla bla burp" "here drink this".

I wanna check out the Aloha Tavern next time I'm headed out to Pacific Beach. Looks like a rough place.

Been there.. Walked in..promptly walked out.. Definately a locals only kind of place..

yep thats the one .shells on the floor

I don't get out much......

In random order....

The Bluebird Inn in Bickleton. I believe that it is the oldest tavern in WA. Pool table is circa 1910 Brunswick.

The beer joint in Skamokowa...next to the fairgrounds....only tavern I know that's been raided by US Dept of Fish & Game & Federal Marshals...good story there!

The Sea Hag in Ilwaco....good shuffleboard

Whistling Oyster in Quilcene...great shuffleboard and local character

The irish joint in Gray's River

The MT Bar & Grill in Roosevelt

Huntington's Bar & Grill in Klickiatat...BEST steaks in the WORLD!

The Logs in BZ Corner

The Drake Room at the Duck Inn in Skamokowa...great Bloody Mary's

Bird Creek Inn in Glennwood during elk season

Shanahan's Irish Pub in Vancouver.....(the girls all love me there!)

Ariel Tavern in Ariel

i always liked the brick in Roslyn tell it got famous

I've heard the Roslyn Tavern is da shiz....

Don't think it's still open but used to go to Ugly Eds in Raymond while working or fishing down there. Had to be the most warped floor in any place I ever went .Bar was glass covered with different $1 to $100 dollar bills under it . People put their names or kids names or whatever on them. Great burgers, or were we just not very picky?

The Winthrop brewery was always good to me. Three fingered Jacks was good to. Yes, until it burned. Sad day on the East side. There's some good people in that part of the state.

Speaking of the eastside...my favorite east or west is the Tamarack in Conconully. That's about as close as we can get to the wild west these days...seems something crazy happens every time I'm in there.

A local Seattle favorite was the old Frontier Room downtown. Easily the stiffest drinks anywhere, and the bartender / Ralph Machio look-alike was always worth a chuckle. Unfortunately now it's been yuppified.

The other night I was channel Surfing and as I passed Channel 3, there was some public access thing where they were in some real toilet of a bar somewhere.

Turned out to be the Liberty Tavern in Bay City, WA. They had the owner in htere talking about all the old junk hanging from the ceiling and walls. Looked worth checking out.


I used to go to The Frontier room back in days of grunge & punk. I took my wife there a couple years back saying "you gotta see this place!" and it was a bunch of pleather clad yuppies drinking espresso and smoothies. I about went postal.
