love the maple leaf, love it.....since the day i moved to manette district i would walk up to the ole maple leaf( only crawling distance from my apartment) and feel like i was automatically family!( was there to help raise the new flag pole). not snobby and clickish like manette saloon or boat shed. these guys are there to drink and have fun without the bullshit. 25 cent pool( can u beat that), original pool games, original atmosphere, its like cheers in the northwest. the maple leaf is like an extension of your family ( i was new to the region and these guys took me in and took care of me like they had known me their whole life). the bar cat "" patches"" still holds a place in my heart even though i live in atlanta now. the back yard is a paradise for drunken fun... Andre is the man in charge of this elaborate setup. this leaf regular sets maple leaf sporting standards and makes them interesting whether u like it or not. and by the way.... if you have been drinking to the last minute of legal time...guess what?...u can buy beer to go...wow! the 2 years i lived in this region were the best because of the great people at maple leaf ( these guys r the best , most honest, always have your back... group of great fellas and ladies that ever crossed the puget sound or the hood canal) !!!!!! and by the way.. if your old school steam ship navy...stop on by..there r at least 2 or 3 dudes there that steamed back in the day.....
