Seattle’s Best Dive Bars | Eater Seattle
"Could there be anything more Ballard than a dive bar with a giant king crab framed on the wall? (A: No.) Smoke Shop is where the fisherman go to blow their paychecks when they get off the boats from Alaska, and that’s the crowd it caters to, so don’t go in there gettin’ fancy with them. There’s nothin’ fancy about the menu either — it’s wedge salads, tots, and Juicy Lucys, alongside Ballard-brewed beers and some strong-ass likker pours. The diner side, called the Ember Room, has booths and a pinball arcade, and they serve food late (uh, for Seattle)." - Meg van Huygen
