Nominated for: BEST Neighborhood Bar
Seattle's Blue Moon Tavern first opened its doors in 1934. Founded by Hank Reverman, the tavern was an instant hit with students who, under state law, had to trek one mile from campus to buy a beer. During the 1950s and 1960s, Blue Moon welcomed an assortment of radicals, artists, writers, journalists, beatniks, hippies, and wannabes. After a long decline in 1970s, the Blue Moon rose anew under management by Three Fools, Inc. In 1989, it was threatened with demolition. Although a popular preservation campaign failed to secure the Moon official landmark status in 1990, developers were persuaded to spare the tavern and it continues to pursue its eccentric orbit to the present day.

This is hands down the BEST bar in Seattle. You never know what amazing people you will meet. College professors mixed with random homeless. Everyone has a place and a value at the Blue Moon.

The BEST ever. The history and sheer strangeness of this place makes it one in a million. Everyone is welcome here. Everyone.
