The Seattle Weekly is promoting the new book Seattle's Best Dive Bars: Drinking & Diving in the Emerald City by SW's own managing editor, Mike Seely. They've given us a little preview of the book by posting Seattle's 10 most intimidating dive bars. Lake City got a lil' shout out (YES!) with The Rose Garden. I've never been there - but judging from some of the other picks (Joe's in the ID is seriously scary!) I can only imagine that it lives up to it's whopping 1.5 stars on Yelp.
I was fortunate enough to get asked to participate in a Lake City pub crawl last year (which rocked! highlight? being serenaded by the country singer at the Rimrock). The Rose Garden didn't make the cut - in fact - I don't think anyone even thought of it as an option. Has anyone braved the intimidating crowd at the Rose Garden?
