DLBottleThese days, the air is filled with the smell of conspiracy and the stench of corruption. Add ‘er all up, the nose sure brings out the craziness! The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight to ponder the political mystery and intrigue of our crazy times…all over a drink, of course.

We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the room at the rear of the tavern beginning about 8pm.





Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the 260 chapters of Living Liberally, including 22 in Washington state, eight in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find a chapter near you. Or you might consider starting your own chapter!
