In the print edition of last week’s Bar Exam, a grave (and troubling to the Examiner—hello, mind?) error was committed. Let it be known, over at the Alki Tavern, Thursday is $1 taco night (Tuesday is $1 burger night). One dollar, people—less than the water taxi (which is the best thing in Seattle, if not the world) to get you there from Pier 55 on the waterfront (last boat back on Thursday is at 7:10).

The column in question has met with mixed reviews from Alki Tavern regulars—to wit:

you know what you need to come there more often the patrons at the alki are like a family . i am certain that you are one of those capitol hill messabe bag carrying yuppies who is living off mom and dads money so you need to realize that you need a change from the comet,sattelite or in your case neighbors get off capitol hill explore seattle and quit being a stuck up cunt

P.S. thursday is taco night

Hello Bethany,

I wanted to thank you for yet another great review of the Alki Tavern in The Stranger. That “one-man welcoming committee” behind the bar is my son Gill and you hit it dead on with the reference to “the Dude”. Your article caught the true essence of the Alki. My husband, Gill Sr, especially liked your remark that the Alki “doesn’t give a damn and never will”. After 31 years, why start now.

Just for the record; it’s Taco Thursday. On Tuesday we have Wimpy burgers, same deal—$1 build your own with the same guy in the kitchen and Gill behind the bar. Not as many bikes but that may change with the article in The Stranger. So come on down Tuesday. The burgers and beers are on me. Thanks again for keeping the Alki alive and well.
