Viv and I walked into The War Room, a new club on Capitol Hill, recently. I had noticed that the deck was open, but when we walked in, the interior space was completely empty.

All of the hung art – and possibly the club logo – is by Stewart Fairey of “Obey Giant” fame. The club adertises free wifi. Geeks of Seattle, abandon forthwith the locked-down wifi at the Elysian!

Of course, I must note we just stuck our noses in, thought about helping ourselves to the unattended bar, and then went on to Bill’s for pizza. So who knows what sort of tax Mr. Fairey’s art imposes upon the drinks.

We did not go upstairs, but it sure seems to me that the whole roof is an open deck, and one thing the $ill always needs more of is outdoor public drinking establishments.
