It's that time of year. Not springtime, stupid, I am turning older, yet again, and want to celebrate this fact with you!! "How can we do that?" you ask. It's easy, let's incorporate the two greatest things in the universe: drinking and............. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!! We're gonna Drink the Link! "What's that?" you ask. Starting at the Sound Transit Link Light Rail's SeaTac Airport Station, we're going to go to each stop and enjoy a nice adult beverage. Here's the plan!
| Arrival Time | Station | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 14:00 | Airport | Pilot House |
|
House Why would you go into the airport if you weren't trying to catch a flight? Because you're drinking the motherfucking link. |
||
| ??:?? | Tukwilla | China Pavilion |
| Run down Chinese restaurant rumored to have strong drinks. This cannot not be amazing. | ||
| ??:?? | Rainier Beach | Nate's Wings and Waffles |
| Owned by basketball's own Nate Robinson and operated by his family! | ||
| ??:?? | Othello | Huarachito's |
| Something about margaritas. | ||
| ??:?? | Columbia City | Columbia City Ale House |
| An alehouse in Columbia City. | ||
| ??:?? | Mt. Baker | Cafe Ibex |
| You'd think Mt. Baker would be better. You really would, but there's no housing stock to speak of by the train station and it's this weird bar desert. So we're going to grab a drink in an Ethiopian restaurant that is basically the only place with a full bar. | ||
| ??:?? | Beacon Hill | Oak |
| Same people who do Redwood! | ||
| ??:?? | SODO | Ghostfish brewing (fallback to Orient Express if they're out of beer) |
| Gluten free beer made with weird other grains. Or a fallback option of a place made entirely of trains. | ||
| ??:?? | Stadium | Hawk's Nest |
| Reasonable sports bar. | ||
| ??:?? | International District | Fort St. George |
| I was tempted to select that really sketchy bar at the corner of 5th and Weller but that may be the one place in Seattle that I find genuinely frightening. | ||
| ??:?? | Pioneer Square | Collins Pub |
| One time Eli wanted to get beer but was very adamant on not crossing any bodies of water or going south of downtown. So I picked the most south westerly bar in downtown for spite. This is that bar. It is also one of the best beer bars in Seattle according to a book. | ||
| ??:?? | University Street | Italian Family Pizza |
| $1.50 Bud lites and Bud heavies. Big pizzas. There are approximately 0 things wrong with Italian Family Pizza. | ||
| ??:?? | Westlake | Nightlight Lounge |
| Reading the reviews of this place I saw the word 'cheap' so many times. I'm not sure how I didn't know about this. | ||
Holy shit that sounds amazing, right??? Here are some more words in list form:
