Those of us at Buzzed Boomer love dive bars. We love live classic rock. We appreciate a properly prepared Martini (thanks Lindy)! We love pool tables. We crave a great burger. We love having our favorite IPA’s on tap. How about a place offering breakfast and great specials? And we’re grateful for a bar powering through the Covid disaster that closed so many restaurants.
Elmers in Burien, Washington is all of that except…. it’s really too nice to be called a dive bar. It WAS once a dive bar but owner Rachel has been steadily upgrading Elmers. And it looks great and it feels great. Our kind of place!
Not from Seattle? Elmers is a short ride from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and not far from a light-rail station if you’re visiting downtown Seattle.
We hadn’t been to Elmers in years but we’ll be back!
