    Duchess Tavern in Ravenna | Dim Lights & Stiff Drinks (1)


    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 the epic beer selection at the bar and what's required to get your Beer Hunter trucker cap. Lou hacks into the jukebox to judge every music patron from the past decade. Oh, and The Beatles. Recorded live at Duchess Tavern on 01/02/2022.

    • 10. Marco Polo Saloon in Georgetown

      43:14||Season 4, Ep. 10

      The sign out front says Saloon but we've been told Georgetown's Marco Polo is actually a Bar & Grill. We like the sound of saloon better but we won't turn away from a good bar. And grill reminds us to not miss the famous broasted chicken at Marco Polo. If you don't know what broasted is then you'll definitely need to listen in because we not only talk about the history of the great Marco Polo saloon/bar & grill, we also get into the history of how KFC totally ripped off the the Broaster Company's revolutionary chicken perfecting technology.

    • 9. Parkway Tavern in Tacoma

      01:22:31||Season 4, Ep. 9

      Special episode! We partner with Shea and Jody from the Rainy Day Rabbit Holes podcast to bring a big ol' heaping helping of PNW history. We get in to Tacoma's salacious backstories, blowing glass (not to be confused with glassblowing), Surf x Surfwest music festivals, and we ponder the size of Sasquatch's junk. All this conversational goodness happens at the fantastic Parkway Bar & Grill Tavern mere days from their 89th anniversary. Shea and Jody are Tacoma homies so we head down south from Seattle to check out one of Western Washington's most iconic drinking establishments. Where's Tacoma? Google it.

    • 8. The Tin Hat in Ballard

      44:33||Season 4, Ep. 8

      Is it Ballard or Phinney Ridge? Does Rainier taste better on draft or in tall-boys? Can you still find smokin' deals at your local thrift shop? Listen to this episode from The Tin Hat to find out. With all the tasty micros on tap you might think this is a snooty hipster bar, but fear not! Dive runs deep at The Hat and you can still Flatline. You just can't get a $1 hot dog unless you're a secret Stonecutter member.

    • 7. Eastlake Zoo 50th Anniversary

      49:04||Season 4, Ep. 7

      Has it really been 2 1/2 years and 3 DLSD seasons since we've recorded at the Zoo? And has it really been 50 years since a bunch of hippies bought a bar just so they'd have a place for the softball team to drink for free? Yup. In this very special episode, we join the Zoo crew to celebrate their 50th anniversary. But the history doesn't stop at [checks sliderule] 1974 because these dive bar vibes go all the way back to 1934 - even earlier if you wanna shop a convenience store.

    • 5. Al's Tavern in Wallingford

      49:28||Season 4, Ep. 5

      Wonderful Wallingford is home to Al's Tavern, spitting distant from other Seattle classics Taco Time, Dick's, Ezell's, and The Erotic Bakery. Better bring cash and don't order the corndog. You're SOL if you want Rainier on draft. Luckily you can get a tall boy to hold you over (for now) until the brewery riots subside. Recorded live at Al's Tavern on 04/18/2024.

      Our first pudding shots! We're at Leny's Place in Tangletown, nestled between Wallingford and Green Lake. This neighborhood bar is known for great burgers and unique liquor concoctions such as jell-o shots and "mystery shots." But we're here for the historic dive atmosphere and of course, the pudding.
