mattp Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Catbird- It has been nearly a year since we've been to the Eastside. Find an interesting place over there and then drum up some support so that some Eastsider's can be expected to show up. Hint: sports bars and fern bars have generally not been popular with this group. Spanker speculated there has got to be some old-school Chinese restaurant with a bar in the back that might have some charm to it. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Not nearly a year but closer to 5 months since we had it at the wanna be irish bar in (Celtic Bayou) redmond. It was an ok place to go since smoking was only allowed outside. Which is fine for me and seemed ok for everyone else. It's just the factor of getting people to show up that is important. Quote

I'll show...name the place. I'm outta town next two weeks. Quote
jon Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 The Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond areas in general don't have the bar atmosphere as of those in Seattle. Don't know about Issaquah. The Mustard Seed in Crossroads is alright, not sure if people would like the 8th St but they have good cheap food. Quote
JoshK Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 issaquah is about the equivilent of redmond...boring, lame bars and full of giant SUVs Quote
JoshK Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 BTW, somebody remind me...whats the name of the place in bellevue, near 8th, and near the barrier motor dealership there. it's pretty sleazy from what I remmeber... Quote
allthumbs Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 rest your rump at the Cedar Stump good beer good bands lots of local farm gurlz it's in the sticks no fuzz for miles around Quote
Dan_Larson Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Is it the Pumphouse or the chinese joint on the corner? Quote
mattp Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Jon - Good cheap food is a definite plus. How's the staff at the Mustard Seed? Quote
David_Parker Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 I thought music and low smoke were some definite plusses. The bartender was fairly friendly, as well. If we went back, all we'd need to do for the later arrivals is figure out (in advance) where to go "after hours." It's possible if I spoke with the manager, we could get beer in pitchers. Guess we could move to the O&T later. Who showed up after I left at 10:00? Quote

jon Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Jon - Good cheap food is a definite plus. How's the staff at the Mustard Seed? The staff have teeth. I'm not sure if they have servers, but the place is pretty big and lots of pool tables. Never eaten there. Only problem is that is pretty deep in Bellevue. 8th street is pretty big and has lots of pool, a good drink selection, and the food is good and cheap, but can get a little stuffy at times but probably not a worry on Tue night.
