"Located right beside the Fremont Bridge, the Nickerson Street Saloon announced it was closing for good on Halloween night; the building was originally constructed in 1928, became the 318 Tavern in 1948, and in 1995 was bought by bartenders Chris Gerke and Jay Farias and became Nickerson Street Saloon. It has been a beloved local watering hole for blue-collar workers from the nearby industrial zone, but the building is slated for demolition with a five-story mixed-use apartment and retail complex proposed for the site; Instagram account Vanishing Seattle has shared more details and memories of time spent at “The Nick.”" - Eater
