…far away from the hustle and bustle of Queen Anne ave., rumored to be one of the first bars to open after Prohibition. You’ll find a place where you can forget the day’s worries and relax with a pint or a stiff drink and banter with the best regulars in town; it’s also the only place on the hill with pool tables and dart boards. So grab a friend and come down and catch a game on one of our flat screens, or pick some tunes on the Internet Jukebox and try to convince the bartender that The Beatles are better than The Stones.
