Woodinville, Washington

This place is a classic hole in the wall saloon. It was probably a tavern when Hank Williams was a household name in country music, and it just keeps getting older and older, and better and better. Bring your new ride or your beater pickup and a big appetite for mouthwatering burgers and other delicious entrees. It's a locals' tried and true hangout, where welcomed strangers can relax and easily blend right in to the fun rhythm of the evening.
