As I said in my previous post-Our Seattle Bar Thoughts, there’s is a time and place for all types of bars, ranging from the high end expensive cocktail bar to the no frills cheap-ass dive bar. The type of bar we go to depends on where we are, who we’re meeting up with and what type of mood we’re in.
Perhaps we go to a certain bar if we just want a quick drink. We may go to another if we want to comfortably lounge a bit and have few. I think if you look at your own life, you looked for certain types of bars at certain periods of your life. When you’re young 20-something, you might favor a place like Ozzie’s or College Inn Pub. Maybe when you’re dating, you go to Canon or Knee High Stocking. When you have kids, you may go to Barking Dog Alehouse or The Loft. Also, the time of year plays a role. In the summer, a patio is a plus, because we Seattlelites have only a certain amount of outdoor drinking days in a year. Of course, a patio or a nice view makes no difference in the winter if it’s dreary and raining. But rest assured, there is a bar for all occasions and here are our Seattle selections:
