The Two Bells has been around for a long time. They have transcended their dive bar beginnings without giving up their soul. nice neighborhood tavern but more importantly the best (non-fast food-see Dick's Drive In) burger in Seattle. Hand formed patties served on french bread, I love the Blue Burger. their sides and soups are always good. Catty-corner from the Charlesgate Apartments that I used to manage.

Skip the old Seattle Underground Tour and check out Beneath the Streets. This is how they describe themselves: Beneath the Streets focuses on factual, historical information that details the birth of our city, 1890’s architecture, and several other stories including the Klondike Gold Rush, Skid Row, and the Coast Salish Peoples that first inhabited the area.
One of their tour guides, Jim Gall, and I used to always get called into the same auditions back in my acting days and I still get confused for him from time to time.
