Recorded in the dark, spooky basement of the Merchants Cafe, the crew discuss the building's often scandalous history including the upstairs that was once used as a brothel as well as the "seamstresses" who worked there. This episode is continuation of our quest to find Seattle's oldest bar, and the Merchants certainly has a long history spanning back to the late 1800s. So join us as we explore the historic bar's red light history as well as our regular segments including "whatcha drinking?" and "where we at?" Recorded live at Merchants Cafe on 06/09/2022.

We kick off season 2 of Dim Lights & Stiff Drinks in one of Seattle's oldest bars, the Central Saloon in historic Pioneer Square. With drinking and debauchery roots going back to 1892, the Central lays claim to being Seattle's oldest saloon. But is it really? We get into the history, the booze, the tall tales, and especially the music. The Central also claims to be the birth place of Grunge music so of course we gotta unpack that. Our old favorite segments Where We At and Whatcha Drinkin' make their season debut, and we lay the groundwork for an epic 4-episode series of Seattle's oldest dive bars. Buckle up!

Recorded live at Slim's Last Chance Chili Shack & Watering Hole in historic Georgetown. Since this is the final episode of the season, we reminisce about all the awesome dive bars we've visited over the last few months. Plus a sneak peek of great content coming next season! It's super loud around here but we still riff and jive over beers while the bachelorette party rages in the background. Once the house band Billy Joe Show starts jammin' we gotta wrap it up so we can down some kick-ass chili. Tried-and-true segments of Whatcha Drinkin' and Where We At are present with hearty discussions about the Georgetown and SoDo districts.
