We jet (metaphorically) over to Roanoke Inn Tavern, Mercer Island's oldest drinking establishment. The crew experiences a dive bar first: blabbing on about the history of this vaulted tavern without any drinks in front of us! Imagine the horror when we realize our highly-anticipated Round Two is actually just round one. At least we get to recount the days when the Roanoke was really an inn, along with all the questionable "etcetera" activity that took place. Recorded live at Roanoke Inn Tavern on 06/19/2025.

Special episode! We head back to an old UW stomping ground to visit the College Inn Pub on University Way. Revisiting this classic basement bar in the U District is bittersweet because it's the last few days before this beloved Huskies haunt closes its doors - possibly forever! It's loud as heck in this ol' Inn but we manage to get a word in edgewise and talk about the pub's history along with a doozie of a ghost story. Help us stay hopeful that the College Inn Pub will reopen and stick around for another 50+ years! Recorded live at College Inn Pub on 06/13/2025 - Friday the 13th, just two days before closing!

Join the DLSD crew as we say farewell to the Merchants Cafe...sorta. In this episode we go over some history and hear the tales of Molly Malone and more! Vicious rumors of the demise of Merchants are way overblown so we do what any dive bar patron would do, we go along with it. Egg's on our face! Recorded live at Merchants Cafe on 12/30/2024.

This Pioneer Square music and drinking establishment opened less than a year ago, but we're giving Baba Yaga a free pass because the building it occupies has so much Seattle dive bar history. Plus, Baba Yaga is just dripping with all the dive bar vibes we love. Join the crew as we explore dive bars past, present, and future in this historic 1890's Pioneer Square landmark. To keep it real, we're joined by the Prince of Pioneer Square himself, Lloyd Gregory. Recorded live at Baba Yaga on 10/17/2024.

Special episode! Historic Wallingford turns Murphy's Pub into a roaring '20s style speakeasy. Celebrating Wallingford and Murphy's rich history in the best way possible: decked out in 1920s prohibition attire and drinking hootch on the down-low. The DLSD crew (well, 2/3 of the crew) was there for the live music, charity auction, and old fashioned speakeasy fun. Recorded live at Murphy's Pub on 09/22/2024.
