Hattie's Hat in Ballard

Explicit content warning

03/25/23 • 41 min

Nothing anchors a neighborhood like a good dive bar, and Hatti's Hat has been a staple in Ballard since 1904. Booze, gambling, and...soft drinks? Sure. Like a few dive bars we visited in season 2, Hattie's Hat has an epic mural painted by a famous local artist. But this mural's got a crazy story behind it and we're more than happy to embellish that story on air. Definitely no trash-talking the classic Brunswick bar because that thing is just plain awesome. However we will debate railroad-vs-shipping transportation because we're clearly experts in the field. Recorded live at Hattie's Hat and Aunt Harriet's Lounge on 03/01/2023.

Old 5th Avenue Tavern in Maple Leaf

We put the "old" in Old 5th Avenue Tavern by discussing the memorabilia in Maple Leaf's oldest watering hole. But that's not all. We also name-drop, shamelessly plug, pull some tabs, and freak out about criminals drinking right next to us. Real mystery beers on tap plus a special barely-legal guest! This neighborhood hangout is quite possibly Maple Leaf's first and - arguably - best dive bar. Recorded live at Old 5th Avenue Tavern on 02/15/2023.

Fiddler's Inn in Wedgwood

Folk music flows as easy as the drinks at Fiddler's Inn in the Wedgwood neighborhood. Don't get Sweet Lou started on the spelling of Wedgwood because he'll lecture you on classic English porcelain. Fiddler's is part cottage, part dive bar, and part local music scene. But it's an entirely good time and the band's literally right next to us! Recorded live at Fiddler's Inn on 03/23/2023.
