With nearly a dozen of Seattle's most venerable/notorious dive bars closing in just the past six months(The Canterbury, The Comet, Moon Temple, Streamline Tavern, and The Hurricane)
DBFF strives to celebrate and support the immeasurable importance of the local neighborhood drinking holes and diners that represent true Seattle.
