THE FEEDBACK LOUNGE was conceptulalized back when we were in the 4th grade, only then it was a treehouse and we wanted to serve Kool-Aid to any kid with proper ID.
Over the years we pursued our modified vision of owning a bar we couldn't get kicked out of. In April of 2008 we signed the lease (in crayon) and took over the old Beveridge Place Pub (formerly Digby's, The New Deal Tavern, Blue Moon...).
On May 1st, 2008, we started destroying it.
A year of tearing the walls down and rebuilding the place to look like the Tukwila version of VEGAS, we finally made it to the top of Barstool Mountain: Six overflowing 40-yard dumpsters, half the Rain Forest, one million nails/bolts, 150 miles of new electrical wiring, 802 gallons of paint, multi-syllabic swearing in various languages (including ancient Atlantean) and a pledging of our firstborn to Home Depot.
Here's the photo story of our perilous quest, a sort of
"Lord of the Rings," but with sledgehammers...

The Wicked Witch of the West is buried under here somewhere.

The original bathrooms were 6'x8', the doors of which opened right into the main bar area. Let's just say one bowl of bad chili could ruin a whole night of business.

Progress = Pain. More Progress = Aleve™.

The bright lights shining through the window were angels coming to impart the message that the Ark was only partially built.

Paint can cover many a drab surface, but it can't disguise the heartbreak of having to clean it up.

Once the shiny metal H-Vac system landed, its followers were ready to be taken to the Land of Heating & Air Conditioning.
