"The Chieftain is a spacious and boisterous (especially on weekends) college bar, but it occupies the former location of Doc Hamilton’s Barbecue Pit, one of Seattle’s swankiest Prohibition-era speakeasies. While the exterior has changed a lot since then, the interior retains the certain hideaway atmosphere that makes a pint here feel like just the thing — there are lots of cozy nooks, especially in the dining room area. (The food, however, is limited to bar snacks.)" - Mark DeJoy
