New owners make Just Left right

By Scott Kringle

Last October, The Just Left Pub and Grill in Lynnwood was fully acquired by two special people � Mitch Clark and Robyn Malcolm. Mitch retired from BMW of Seattle after sixteen years and became a co-owner of Just Left. His now fiancée, Robyn Malcolm worked for Sharkey's Bar and Grill and Ritchie D's in Mountlake Terrace . She's also worked for GT's North before coming here to Just Left.

�We have never owned our own place before,� Mitch said. �We want to turn it back into a dart bar,� he added. Both Mitch and Robyn said they now have a new dart coordinator � Tracy Williams.

Just Left is a Harvest Darts location and currently has six dart boards and a very colorful dart-related past. They also prominently feature two pool tables ready for play. They've got video golf games and a wall-full of pull tabs to choose from.

�We have nine employees right now, Travis, Jackie, Jimmy, Mike, Beth, Shauna, Heather and Greg, and they are all great people to work with,� Robyn said. �We will still have a lot of the events that we put on here every year, including the very popular Sand In Your Shorts annual summer dart shoot, the annual golf tournament in June, horseshoes, poker events and even the video golf tournaments may return to Just Left.�

�Our goal is to make this a family place again,� Robyn continued. �And we are going to try hard to make it that way.� The story of how Robyn met Mitch is a funny one. Mitch was one of three owners of the pub in 2004. While working at Just Left as a bartender back then, Robyn, who had never met Mitch before, saw him walk into the office and start carrying out computer equipment. Being the model employee that she is, she did what any other good employee would do � she ran and told the owners what was going on.

It was then that she met Mitch, and they all had a good laugh. Now, a year and a half later, Mitch and Robyn are going off to Hawaii in February to get married. They said that they would throw a big party at Just Left when they return.

Just Left is one of those ultra-comfortable locations with a bunch of big screen TVs, great for all your sporting games and, of course, an awesome set up for dart tournaments. With an amazing and efficient staff that cares, the Just Left Pub will quickly become one of your favorite places to hang out.
