It’s official! The main music, drinks and dining room is now non-smoking all the time. Two years back, The Mirabeau Room was called Sorry Charlie’s and was one of Seattle’s oldest, smokiest dive bars. A great joint where Howard Bulson played jazz piano nightly. Seattle’s wannabe and superstar singers would wait their turn to sing a couple numbers from the great American songbook with Howard backing them on the piano.

Fast forward to a couple years back when a group of us took the joint over, gutted it, renovated it and invited in a whole new generation of people. David started by making certain nights non-smoking in the main room. Now it’s non-smoking altogether with the back enclosed lounge remaining a smoking area. The smoking ban (I-901) may change that … but we’ll see.

Now, let’s go get some drinks!
