Recorded the dark, spooky basement of the Merchant's Cafe, the crew discuss the building's often scandalous history, including that the upstairs was once used as a brothel, as well as the "seamstresses" who worked there. This episode is continuation of our quest to find Seattle's oldest bar, and the Merchant certainly has a long history spanning back to the late 1800s. So join us as we explore the historic bar's red light history, as well as our regular segments including "whatcha drinking?" and "where are we?" Recorded live on June 9, 2022.
