Is there anyone in Seattle who doesn't know about the Tractor? Regardless, the hub of Ballard's live music scene deserves some props. Hell yeah, what up Tractor? Alt-country rules here but Rockabilly, folk, and indie rock fill in the gaps. Every fall Bettie Page and Stray Cats lookalikes spill out of the Tractor and their retro rides for the Rockabilly Ball. The open space is perfect for live shows and they keep it real with cheap beer and Jack-n-Cokes. Go ahead and order your Martini with extra olives. It will still come in a plastic cup. I've never seen anyone eating here, but supposedly they offer an excellent selection of TV dinners. I'll have to remember that the next time I want to get my Swanson on. Discarded cowboy boots and tractor tires decorate the space, rounding out the good ole' boy theme. But the best part is the huge horse painting on the wall next to the bar. My boyfriend questioned where one would put such a large painting of a horse in a house. I'm just happy it ended up at the Tractor.
