With Still Liquor opening last week, Seattle University’s The Spectator took the opportunity to survey speakeasies on the Hill:
Tavern Law: “If you want to get tanked while studying Tort (sic), Tavern Law is the place for you. But a spot on The Bar is practically a requisite for frequent entry; their beverages don’t mix well with your typical college budget.”
The HIdeout: “Though the patrons don’t conform to any trend, The Hideout is shamelessly a hip locale . . . If Moe Bar were more expensive and less flooded with inebriated hipsters, it would be The Hideout.”
Knee High: “If your wallet ever feels overstuffed, Knee High Stocking Co. is worth checking out at least once. If nothing else, the doorbell shtick is priceless, and a few of their signature drinks will make even “Free Bird” sound like perfect background music for ‘secret’ drinking.”
Chez Gaudy: “Gaudy also has amazing ambience. Everything about it suits its name: chez makes for luxury, gaudy makes for gaudiness.”
A fun set of reviews for the most part though chez is to luxury as . . .
Is anyone else extremely annoyed by this term as I am? The Prohibition was almost 100 years ago, so what constitutes classifying an establishment as a “Speakeasy?” Boarding your windows up from the inside??
And now my beloved Chez Gaudy is included in this criteria?
just out of curiosity, what is that “sic” doing there?
tort law is an actual subject, right, so what’s the mistake supposed to be?
it’s either “tort law” or “torts”
YA BURNT.
