About This Podcast
The DLSD crew explores an eclectic and eccentric collection of dive bars, historic taverns, and interesting drinking establishments in the greater Seattle, WA area. We've set out to document those bars that have a seedy backstory and interesting history behind them. But we’re not just talking about these taverns in the quiet confines of some home studio somewhere. No, we actually haunt these awesome watering holes and record live at the diviest of dive bars! In each episode we visit the bars where bad decisions and future regrets are made...so you don’t have to. Featuring producer extraordinaire Bob Trombley from the Pike Place Podcast. Also featuring Brad, Lou, and Jeromy, the knuckleheads responsible for Three Friends In Search of a Podcast.
