SOME KIND WORDS ABOUT THE BLUE MOON

"The scariest bar in Seattle." -- Tom Scanlon, Seattle Times

"I hear that place is a dump." -- Ricker, KISW-FM

"This place is a total stinking dump." -- Gustav Linden, Seattle WA

"If you've seen the bar in the first Star Wars movie, this is as close as it gets in real life." -- Anonymous, pubcrawler.com

"There seems to be a large majority of homeless drunk people who really need to wash their balls and asses." -- Clay "Stinky" Eldrege

"Look, I majored in History, crew [sic] up in California, and consider myself a very open minded person. But even walking by the Blue Moon just makes me cringe." -- Johnny H., yelp.com (again)

"Incidentally, you probably know that the Blue Moon Tavern is famously the one-time hangout of Theodore Roethke. While this lends the place a certain infamy, the place is still a dive." -- Mike Pope

"Kerouac, Ginsberg, Dylan Thomas and Tom Robbins all drank here. The current patrons don't seem like they'll win any Pulitzers or shatter the world with original thinking because they're too busy just sitting around just having a beer. It's a dive." -- Maria C., yelp.com

"When Seattlest Dan and Seattlest MVB were in there recently we hadn't been sitting for ten minutes before some woman from Alaska dumped the contents of her purse on our table and sprayed us with cheap perfume. She got 86'd about 20 times and every time she returned she'd show up at the table looking for her phone and her coat." -- Dan Gonsiorowski, seattlest.org
