Editorial Reviews

Review

"Informative, witty, and wonderfully atmospheric, Seely's thirsty travelogue should leave even the most pious Washingtonians praying that there'll be honky tonks in heaven." - Tom Robbins


Product Description

"Informative, witty, and wonderfully atmospheric, Seely's thirsty travelogue should leave even the most pious Washingtonians praying that there'll be honky tonks in heaven."-Tom Robbins

"Seely, managing editor of the Seattle Weekly, is a genuinely funny writer who doesn't need to get snarky to get laughs...A fair amount of Seattle's heritage resides on pages of 'Seattle's Best Dive Bars,' or at least reminders of a pre-pretense city...He's penned a neat little book. Raise your cups and do something for the town's culture."-Joel Connelly, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"It has some seriously funny moments. It also has the lowdown on an impressively large number of watering holes the likes of which I’ve never even heard, let alone experienced firsthand."-Jessica Voelker, Seattle Metropolitan

"Is this the greatest book ever written? As a native Seattlite, and long time connoisseur of dive bars, I would have to say yes. Mike Seely, who is managing editor of the Seattle Weekly, really gets it right about these places."-Greg Barbick, Blog Critics.org

Seattle’s Best Dive Bars offers opinionated reviews of one hundred of the grittiest and grungiest drinking establishments in the Emerald City. If you want to avoid the tourist traps listed in those “other” bar guides and find out where the anti-globalization, anti-Starbucks, anti-Microsoft crowd goes to get wasted, then Seattle’s Best Dive Bars, like its predecessors from New York, San Francisco, and Chicago, is your guide to the delightfully filthy underside of Seattle bar life.

A native Seattleite, Mike Seely is the managing editor of Seattle Weekly, for which he writes a food column called “Bottomfeeder.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about Seattle but were afraid to ask, April 15, 2009
By Daniel Peter Morisseau IV "dpmiv" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You really need this book. Say you're in the mood for an Elk burger and a PBR, but you don't know where to go. Well, if you had this book, you'd know: Ed's Kort Haus is the place. What bar feels like Applebee's but isn't? This book will tell you. Say you're a foxy cougar on the prowl, and you want to find out where all the UW frat boys are? This book will tell you.

I suggest buying several copies, at least one for every vehicle that you own, so that a copy may take up residence in the glovebox, next to your AAA maps, and your registration. You won't want to be nestled knee-deep within greenwood looking for the Rickshaw when you realize that your copy is in the other car.

And, they make the perfect gift! What better way to tell friends and loved ones that you think they're out of their league at those swanky belltown cocktail bars? This is your book.

A well-written, easy to read, and informative compilation. The author obviously did their research ;)
