DOWNTOWN—The 35th anniversary party for cocktail bar Oliver's Lounge, located inside the Mayflower Park Hotel. Tan Vinh has a little history about the bar, its controversial origins and a guy named Murray Stenson who started working there in 1977. Stenson will in fact be guest bartending at tonight's celebration from 4-8 p.m. (yes, there are drink specials). [Seattle Times]
GREEN LAKE—Also in the realm of bar anniversaries, Über Tavern is turning five. As befitting its reputation as a formidable beer bar, Sunday's celebration involves four "extra-special kegs," some drink specials and promises of "some very special surprise bottles." [WBB]
