Edlinger Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Would anyone have any interest in a Seattle Pub Club this Thursday, March 19th? It would be an excuse for family guys and gals to sneak out of the house and gym rats to stop for a cold pint on the way home from the climbing gym. Someplace not crowded so we could get a big table or tables if a lot of people show. It seemed like the trend of the older pub clubs was Ballard, Phinney, or Wallingford. The Sloop in Ballard is close for all the Stone Gardens folks. A newish (or at least reinvented) bar called The Copper Gate in Ballard is about five or so blocks north of the Sloop. It is pretty awesome and the Copper Gate has Carlsberg for all the ice climbers! As some of the best all time trip reports have shown, you'll meet partners for your next near death climb or ski!!!

Peakpimp Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'd love to come out and put some more names with faces from CC.com! I'm in Lake City, any north end establishment would be just fine for me. Jens once told me that this used to be a regular occurrence and perhaps it could be again? -Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindawg Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Dwayner 'n his buddy "pope" will show up, but only if we can get a ride from BIG LOU! [img:center]http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/504/HRH_Lou.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Prost on Greenwood and 73rd/74th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Peakpimp, I'm game. I like the Copper Gate idea. Aquavit is the order for all the Norskes like myself. The Reading Gaol on 65th (near the tin hat on the west side of Phinney) could accomodate a crowd and is never ever busy. Prost is cool but it seems often crowded into a small space and hard to squeeze in a group in one of the corner tables. My vote is someplace really slow so we can rule the joint. Copper Gate, Readng Gaol, or Sloop anyone? How does 7:30 sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Michelle and I will come and put a party patina on the gate. We've never been there. It should have table seating for a pub club (not just booth seating). I agree with Jens about Prost. It's too small for a pub club. M&I have been waiting for a new pirate-themed pub called Pillagers to open up at 86th and Greenwood where the Tully's used to be, across the street from Naked City Grill. Aaaaaaaaaaargh!

mattp Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mr. Klenkinator: what do you have for show and tell? The muffler bracket that the jeep left behind on ??? peak? And Peak Pimp: the broken tooth ice screw from your last montaine adventure? And Dawg: a photo of you and the bandits facing off at your last dig? Let's make this a night to share! Ballard is great. It is definitely out of the way for anybody who doesn't already have a reason to be in that part of town but we've been to West Seattle and Monroe in times past, and (within reason) "out of the way" may be more something to complain about than a serious deterrent. Still, though, if we are going to have more than one event it'd be a good idea to focus on locations closer to I-5 for the next one. As for times, there have always been some earlier folks who want to show up at 7 and leave by 8:30 whereas others won't even show up 'till 9:00. Rarely have we stayed out must past about 11:00 on a week night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Looking at the original post, though, I realize: Thursday is out for me. There are two other events that night - and both involve people who have in the past attended PubClubs. Wednesday or Friday or...have fun and don't drink so much beer you don't want to do it again...

AlpineK Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah another CC type has an event that evening. Forced to pick I'll have to say no to PC this Thursday. Other Thursdays I'd go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Quite honestly, I can see doing the event next Tuesday instead (March 24). Aaaaaaaaaargh, matey, it looks like the Pillagers Pub is now open (as of last weekend, I guess): source I'll have to check it out with Michelle this week.

catbirdseat Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It has been three months since this last feeble attempt at a Pub Club. Anyone interested this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Why go to the pub when you can go to the crag this time of year. CBS, are you in town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yes for the time being, I am living here in Seattle. I'd be up for climbing at North Bend one of these evenings. Any night Wed-Fri is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
