"The whole place is pockmarked with band stickers from performances past, the ancient leather barstools sink, and wooden booths look like they may have been carved from some local lumberjack’s backyard. Fancy cocktails aren't a thing here, and the slim snack selection includes Tim's Chips and beef sticks, but that's part of the appeal. Basically, the Blue Moon Tavern is paradise for those who like live music and cheap beer." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo

"Stepping into this 87-year-old University District bar and live music venue means you’re stepping into history. The Blue Moon was a hangout spot for both 1940s beatniks and Nirvana. It still hosts a lot of shows and an art night where patrons take out their sketchbooks." - Meg van Huygen
"Blue Moon Tavern, a family-owned bar in the U District, Seattle, has been kept afloat through a GoFundMe effort, government loans, and a temporary coffee window. Its story was featured in a PBS special aired on January 19." - Gabe Guarente
