The birthplace of grunge. The young lady behind the bar was quite knowledgeable and extremely willing to share some of the stories of the bands and people who have played there. Going through the photos and posters on the wall is an amazing journey. An easy walk from the Pike Place Market.

Half dive bar, half music venue with lots of history. Menu was pretty small and missing some classic bar food staples, but the food we got was pretty good and draft list had some solid options.
