David Meinert, who co-owns and operates several high-profile places in Seattle, from the newly renovated Comet to Lost Lake Diner, recently purchased Grim’s on 11th Ave. Meinert, who is just as well known for his thought-provoking social media posts as he is for his businesses, seems to have an opinion on wide-ranging topics, from the NFL to Capitol Hill gang crime to music.

“I didn’t know you were writing tonight.†“I am.†“Cool, but the Young Evils hardly need another review right now.†She laughs a little, pours me a Manny’s. It’s Jessie, the owner of the Skylark Café in West Seattle. I settle in at the end of the bar, my usual seat in what has become my preferred pub when out alone because of its proximity to my apartment, but also for the Sunday brunch, the mix of live bands, the local artists on the walls.
