But, like all else in our once diverse city, this area's coming up in the world, as evidenced by the invasion of the first pioneers, the hipsters. The crowd's a fine mix of young tattooeds and good local drunks, including a gentleman in a fantastic suit and totally pimpin' hat. Karaoke night on Sundays is rumored to be a love fest of Seattle's rock scene, and there are free-range cats to pet. The new colony of the superhip postgrunge set with some fine local flavor. The Benbow sure is weird, in a really, really good way.
Drinks are cheap, service is appropriately curt.
