It's fun to get to share people's favorite neighborhood joints -- long after they've moved out the of the neighborhood. So, we all know that I'm partial to the Nite Lite and the Mecca -- the hang outs of my youth. Recently I got to check out Karl's favorite places. I have to say, they rock -- and rock hard. Why did I never hang out here?
Dexter and Hayes. Even for a Saturday, we were able to get a table. Everyone was friendly and nice. It had a nice, mellow vibe. A place where you could just hang out with your peeps and have a pint or a cocktail and a chat. I would go back in a heartbeat. Plus, you never have to wonder where it is, hence the name.
Molly Maguires. A cute little joint in Ballard with a "vintage" pool table in the back. The shepherd's pie was yum -- served with soda bread, it was more filling than I expected. I had to have a Guiness because when in Rome....the clientele runs from the bawdy, salty, "vintage" Ballard folk to the metrosexual male duo who converse intimately at the bar. Love it.
