Beyond the salacious history of Waterwheel, we get into the bizarre blue laws that popped up after prohibition (along with a shameless book plug). And a trash-talking Texan who picked a fight with Alaska. You can head down to the Waterwheel 365 days a year, even on St. Swithin's Day. Our Whatcha Drinkin' segment includes shade thrown at pumpkin beers, even though they're delicious, plus the delicate dance of weed and beer. And Sweet Lou drops some knowledge about the Up house. Recorded live at the Waterwheel Lounge on 10/20/2022.

Well, actually recorded in the dingy nautical-themed dive bar at the back of Baranof Restaurant. Famous for inventing Marie's Salad Dressing way back in the day, the Baranof is now known for cheap hangover food and one of Seattle's best-loved dive bars tucked way in the back. This joint has as many stories of drunken dive bar clientele as it does of illegal shenanegans. Our Whatcha Drinkin' segment is sidetracked by fantasies of epic karaoke sessions and beer brands that have transcended greatness. Recorded live at Baranof Restaurant on 09/22/2022.

And don't you dare call it billiards since this is a snooker table, bitch. Plus an Iron Maiden pinball machine thrown in for good measure and some epic graffiti. Mad bartender skills come shining though with the Whatcha Drinkin segment, complete with uppity 50/50 beer concoctions. The Where We At segment goes deep into the amazing decor, accoutrements on display, and dilapidated houseboats. Unfortunately we don't quite crack open "the chest." Recorded live at Eastlake Zoo Tavern on 01/06/2022.

None of our dads used to drink here but they totally should have. Only cool dads drink here. For this episode, we get the owner Dan to come tell us all about the history of Darrell's and the evolution from music venue (a piano bar!), to mafia hangout, back around to music venue with live local acts. We barely get a word in edgewise, and Dan sets the stage - see what we did there? - for epic Satan's Pilgrims music. Recorded live at Darrell's Tavern on 12/02/2021.

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.

And be sure to check out the Facebook and Instagram pages for pictures of the Pike Pub's fascinating NW beer history museum. Recorded live at Pike Pub on 11/11/2021.
