Dim Lights & Stiff Drinks

Special episode! We partner with Shea and Jody from the Rainy Day Rabbit Holes podcast to bring a big ol' heaping helping of PNW history. We get in to Tacoma's salacious backstories, blowing glass (not to be confused with glassblowing), Surf x Surfwest music festivals, and we ponder the size of Sasquatch's junk. All this conversational goodness happens at the fantastic Parkway Bar & Grill Tavern mere days from their 89th anniversary. Shea and Jody are Tacoma homies so we head down south from Seattle to check out one of Western Washington's most iconic drinking establishments. Where's Tacoma? Google it. Recorded live at Parkway Tavern on 07/21/2024.Learn more about Shea and Jody's awesome podcast Rainy Day Rabbit Holes: Pacific Northwest History and Humor (https://www.rainydayrabbitholes.com/)Follow the Dim Lights & Stiff Drinks podcast on Facebook (DLandSD), Twitter (@divebarsseattle), YouTube, and Instagram (seattle_dive_bar_podcast).

Is it Ballard or Phinney Ridge? Does Rainier taste better on draft or in tall-boys? Can you still find smokin' deals at your local thrift shop? Listen to this episode from The Tin Hat to find out. With all the tasty micros on tap you might think this is a snooty hipster bar, but fear not! Dive runs deep at The Hat and you can still Flatline. You just can't get a $1 hot dog unless you're a secret Stonecutter member.

Wonderful Wallingford is home to Al's Tavern, spitting distant from other Seattle classics Taco Time, Dick's, Ezell's, and The Erotic Bakery. Better bring cash and don't order the corndog. You're SOL if you want Rainier on draft. Luckily you can get a tall boy to hold you over (for now) until the brewery riots subside. Recorded live at Al's Tavern on 04/18/2024.

Our first pudding shots! We're at Leny's Place in Tangletown, nestled between Wallingford and Green Lake. This neighborhood bar is known for great burgers and unique liquor concoctions such as jell-o shots and "mystery shots." But we're here for the historic dive atmosphere and of course, the pudding.
