| Two 120-pound pigs will be roasted on premise and served
with coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and corn on the cob. Tickets to
the event are $15.00 and include entry, food and entertainment. Draft
beers will be offered $3.00 pint, with $5.00 Crown & Coke and Cuervo
Margaritas. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the O.P. or the day
of the event. Seattle's Bravest Charity was created after the 1995
fire deaths of four Seattle Firefighters at the Pang Warehouse Fire.
Originally known as "Seattle Firefighter's Benevolent Association," it
has since grown into an organization with a broad scope, capable of
providing support to our community and entities within the Seattle Fire
Department. |
| About the Old Pequiliar Public House: The
building at
1722 Market Street in Ballard that is now home to the Old Pequliar
Public House (a.k.a. "The O.P.") has lived many lives. Originally a
private residence, The O.P. did a stint as an appliance store before
taking on the persona of the Valhalla Tavern in 1962. The business
changed hands and names several times, during which time a previous
owner renamed the tavern "The Old Pequliar" after the English ale. In
August 1996, Carl Rogers purchased the business, added a kitchen to
serve classic Irish pub fare, and expanded the bar selection to include
liquors. The O.P. is a neighborhood favorite that draws a loyal
following of locals for its highly popular Trivia Night competitions,
spacious outdoor deck and laid-back comfortable atmosphere. The O.P. is
open Monday-Friday from 12:00 PM to 2:00 AM, Saturday-Sunday 10:00 AM to
2:00 AM, with Happy Hour offered twice daily. |
