Daphnie's Bar (Edmonds, Washington U.S.A.)


Daphnie's Bar 415 1/2 Main Street Edmonds, Washington U.S.A.they have a neon sign but I have never seen it working and it is hard to see. They are open 4 pm to midnight daily. Seating and space is very limited as it is a tiny but fun little cocktail bar.  The sit-up bar seats 12 people snugly, with granite bar top is a U shaped bar.  The only other seating is 2 small corner booths as you enter one on the right and one on the left and they to seat 4 people very snugly.  The only person working is the bartender, so you may have to wait a bit to gt your drink depending on how fancy the drinks a head of you are.  There are 4 different types of beer on tap.  Wine is also available.  As for food the only thing that I saw regarding food was in the front window and it said, "salami and cheese".  Their cocktail list have the following cocktails originating  from the 1870's to 1937 and they include the following: Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Cablecar, Sidecar, Aviation Cocktail, Corps Reviver and Lion's Tail.  They have their own specialty cocktail: Dez (2011 Daphnie's Bar) Gin, St. Germaine, fresh squeezed lemon juice, bubbles and lemon twist.  There is back ground music, but it can get noisy with everyone having fun and talking.  We met a wonderful couple who offered us seats at one of the tiny booths they were sitting at. A very cool place and we will be back fore sure.  Kinda feels like you went back in time.

Old Settler Pub 222 Cedar Avenue, Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia Canada   www.oldsettlerpub.com  This is a beautiful pub, it is a real log cabin building.  It boasts a beautiful 12 person sit-up bar that is split wood and thick varnish.  the bar kinda meanders around a bit.  There is a beautiful out side patio area that is good year around with floor to ceiling unobstructed windows over looking the Miami river.  This place has a great feel to it and lots of parking in front.  I have been here before but not for many years, and it is even better now. As for food, we didn't eat here but you can get breakfast until 1 pm, on the menu are Salads, Burgers, nachos, fish and chips, beef dips..... you get the idea.  There is a nice river rock gas fireplace in one corner.  As for beer, there are 8 different types and have rotating taps.

September 14 2019
Old Inn Tavern 502-3rd Street, Snohomish, Washington U.S.A. This is reported to be the 3rd oldest bar in the State of Washington.  It opened in 1898 and is a cool piece of history. You can't miss it as it is bright red on the outside!  When you enter, in the middle is the large 27 person rectangular sit-up bar.  The surface of the bar and tables are all lacquered split logs and are beautiful. 12 different types of beer on tap, hard liquor and wine. The prices are very reasonable too!  Must be 21 years older or over to be in here. In this half of the bar there are 2 tables for 5 and in between them 2 leather living room chairs. The other half of the bar which is down a step has 2 pool tables and one ping pong table At the front end of this area, they have 4 leather living comfy chairs and a leather comfy love seat.  They also have pull tabs and 7 TV's. As for darts there are 3 electronic dart boards. The bartender seemed to know everyone so I guess they are all locals.  Free popcorn for the taking.  You could classify this as a dive bar buy don't take that the wrong way.  If you go out the side door and around to the back you will find the patio area which had a wood burning fire pit. When I was there I was invited by some locals who were very nice, to sit with them.  They said the bar puts on a big food spread for Seattle Seahawks NFL games and is well worth coming for!  The men's room has a 3 person trough and posters as you may expect in a men's room for non politically correct times.  I thought they were fine.  One of the women there said they had nice posters in the Women's room too!  I didn't see any one eating and nor did I eat there so I can't tell you much about that.  All in all I liked it here complete with all the neon beer signs on the walls.  My partner advised it was OK but not her style and that is fine too!  I love the history of this place.  Definitely check this place out!!

Trails End Taphouse & Restaurant (Snohomish, Washington U.S.A.)


September 14, 2019
Trails End Taphouse & Restaurant 511 Maple Avenue Snohomish, Washington U.S.A.
They feature a square 10 person sit-up bar. With 26 different types of local Craft beer on tap I'm pretty sure you can find something you will like.  Hard liquor and wine is available to. I am only talking bout the bar side and not the restaurant side. There are 6 pub high tables and chairs for 4 people as well as a couple of lower ones.  There are 2 TV's.  For lunch I had the Meatball sub which had 5 nice meat balls with a marinara sauce and cheese on a nice big bun.  For my side I had the home made potato salad which was amazing!  The sandwich was very good, but messy.....I ended up using a knife and fork to eat it. One of my dining partners had the Cob Salad with chicken and it was very big and very good.  Another dining partner has the Spinach Salad with grilled chicken  and it too was very good.  When the bill came, it had a $5.00 service charge.  When we asked about the charge, the waitress advised they get paid minimum wage and instead of raising the price of the food they add a service charge.  Hmmmmm.  The food prices were on the higher side in the first place.  All in all we liked it here. Kids are allowed on the restaurant side.

Cabin Tavern (Shoreline, Washington U.S.A.)




Cabin Tavern 19322 Richmond Beach Drive NW, Shoreline, Washington U.S.A.  This is the  quirkiest, craziest pub, bar or tavern I have seen yet!  As you enter the bar you notice right away nothing is level.  The floor slopes like a funnel to the bar center.   The left side of the bar slopes from where it attaches to the wall to the other part of the bar is about an 8 inch drop over 5 or 6 feet.  The right side of the bar slopes about a 4 to 5 inch drop over 7 feet.  All of the tables slope towards the bar, it is hilarious!  The bartender/ waitress advised that the front part of the bar was moved in to its present place on logs back in the early 1930's and over the years the logs have rotted out, ground has settled and numerous earth quakes have caused the center of the bar to sink.  There is a sign on the wall that explains some of the history.  Built in 1927 and became a bar in 1933.  It was patronized by hundreds of sailors coming from ships docked at Point Welles as well as tourists.  As the sailors and tourists dropped off, it settled in to be well supported by the locals.  It is right in a residential area and not where you would expect to find a tavern. Across the street the beach is gone and there are now houses on the water.  It apparently is the 3rd bar in Washington State to get a liquor license when Prohibition ended in December 1933.  They  have 17 different types of beer on tap. I had a glass of wine that came in a larger than glass sized carafe and at a great price! You have be to be 21 or older to come in.   The menu  features, Burgers, Pulled Pork sandwiches, Taco and Caesar Salad, Quesadillas, Ruben sandwich, fish and chips, Clam Chowder and other sides. The patrons were so friendly and made you feel right at home.  The bartender was amazing and friendly too!  In the back part of the bar which is flatter they have a piano.  Out side they have a fairly large 2 tiered patio area and parts are covered.  I met an older gentleman who advised he started working at Boeing in 1965 working on the then new 747.  He said he and his buddies used to come here a lot as well as the Engel's Pub in Edmonds (also my blog).  We also visited others and had a great time! We met a great guy who is half owner of Leny's Bar and Grill.....We have to check it out too! We can't wait to ctheir first timome back soon!!  This place is not on the main drag or on any bar area, it is worth your time checking this place out!!!
May 8,2022
Finally made it back to this cool little gem! Nothing has changed here, just as great as ever. Took family there for their first time.  They loved it and in a matter of minutes you would have thought they were regulars. Dana the bartender / waitress was fantastic as usual! Kitchen did not open until 4. PM, but we had previously eaten at the Wing Dome.  Great to be back!

Engel's Pub (Edmonds, Washington U.S.A.)


Engel's Pub  113-5th Ave. S, Edmonds, Washington U.S.A.  www.englesbar.com  A great little bar that opened in 1934 and has always been a bar.  Apparently it was some where around the 8th bar in Washington State to get a licence after the end of prohibition. The main feature is the beautiful sit-up bar that runs along the left side as you enter.  It has a few curves and seats 20 people.  It has coat/ purse hooks all the way along under the bar. Across from the bar along the other wall is along bench with 5 tables and each of the tables has 2 chairs.  In front to the right as you enter is a pub high table that seats 8 people.  They have 15 different types of beer on tap, mostly craft beer.  Wine and hard liquor is also served.  For lunch I had the 2 tacos, and was perfect for a light lunch.  My lunch partner had the Taco Salad with ground beef and it is was very good.  It cost some where around $8.00. In the back there is a small room with a low roof and has a pool table and stools. There are 5 TVs through out and pull tabs too! The bartender was very friendly and the service was very good.  What a great little bar! We loved it!

The Sparrow Pub (Seoul, South Korea)


The Sparrow Pub Dongseongong 2(1) area of  Seoul, South Korea,  not to far from the Busan subway station.  It tried hard to be a British Styled pub but missed the mark.  they didn't have any wine, so I drank Soju, a Korean distilled drink and is quite popular there. You could buy wine by the bottle starting at abut %4.00 USD a bottle....no thanks!  The had various types beer available. A 1.2 liter beer ran about $6.00 USD, which is pretty good!  The menu was very amusing with very poor translation in to English.  Examples are:  "Hot God" ( pieces)....hmmm, should be Hot Cod.  "The Grass"  I don't know what that is but maybe salad.  "Corn Cheese"  pretty sure you don't get that in an English pub.  There is no sit-up bar like you would find in any English styled pub.  They did have a few \Union  Jacks hanging. Hey we gave the place a try.

Horses were pastured in the adjacent field.  Warren House Pub opened Summer 2001."  They have 7 beer from Bill's Tavern on tap and 5 guest beers on tap.  When you walk in the front door you enter what is called the dinning room.  It has 4 tables along one wall and 3 tables along the other wall, each seating 4.  The fireplace is at the end.  From there you walk in to the bar area where the 8 person L shaped sit-up bar is.  Across from the bar is the 3 rd area that has a pool table and a few more tables and chairs.  Off the back of that room are 4 video gambling machines.  \There is n outside patio area to the rear, as well as the parking lot. This is a pretty cool place with a pretty good feel to it.  We did not try the food here so can't fill you in on that.  Happy hour is 4 to 6 with $1.00 off Bills beer and well drinks. They also sell really cool T-shirts.  Check it out!!!
