Darts rule at the Pickled Onion Pub

By Ty Hughes

Chad and Susie hope to sign up forty teams for Fall season this year. In that vain, they’ve run two separate Sign Up Parties at the Pickled Onion Pub in the Renton Highlands. But you can bet that owner Sean will accept all last minute sign ups.

Everybody was out for some darts at least once last month, putting their team on the roster for the Medalist Fall League season. It was a full house, and Sean was a happy man. He leaned back in his chair, rubbed his belly and started in on some political rant. Jennifer, his gorgeous wife, kicked at my ankle for getting him started. Sean is a small businessman in America. He has an opinion, and is certainly entitled.

He agreed that having several options available to the players could be turbulent, but positive for the sport locally. He was proud to proclaim the Pickled Onion as an official Medalist location.

Sean was happy to accommodate Russ and his family, Florida’s new hotshot Medalist Operator. Russ is one buff dude, let me just tell ya. He owns six health and wellness stores throughout Florida, and lives in Navarre, a sexy beach community, right on the Gulf of Mexico!

Russ is stoked about taking Medalist to Florida, and the possibilities for growth. He and his wife both throw darts. They should do well indeed, especially considering Russ’ business savvy.

Sean, Chad, Susie, and the entire ‘family’ at the Pickled Onion are a great crowd of really nice people. They’re always taking in those wandering and homeless dart teams. Stop in and check out the Pickled Onion Pub on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon for some dart action. Chad and Susie have had amazing success maintaining the Pickled Onion standard for darts. Old timer, Cal and his wife, also Jen, were on hand for some butt-kickin’. Tracy was gearing up for his Limited Cup challenge the next day. They ended up winning. They kept the cash and the trophy stayed at Pickled Onion! Way to go guys!

Susie says the Birthday Bounties are huge. Sometimes they even have two Birthday Bounty teams, both worth cash money to whomever takes them out of the game!

Chad gladly hands over the microphone duties to Susie. “She’s got a lot stronger voice than I do”, he says. I’ve got to agree with him there. She was giving away a chance to win almost ninety bucks in their ongoing and progressive Bull Side Pot. Somebody pulled Stacy’s name out of the hat. She went up and hit one bullseye for a grand total of $28.00! Hey, it’s better than a stick in the eye! You know she drank for free that night. If Stacy would’ve hit a Hat Trick, she’d have tripled her money. But, since she didn’t, 2/3 of the Bull Pot will advance to next week’s tournaments, and keep on growing! Come on in and give it a try, it’s only a buck to enter. They’ve also got a 3-In-A-Bed Pot going too!

Pickled Onion wants to remind you all that their Saturday afternoon Bring is an excellent way to hone those darts for your evening shoot, wherever you choose to play. Come in and throw some darts!
