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.
"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
"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."
