We have two local participants in Seattle that are primarily bars, though both serve food: one is a country/western themed gay bar (Timberline Spirits) and the other [appears to be] a yuppie-ish Irish pub place (Patty Coyne's). The former is a once-a-month joint that does not take AMEX cards; I have not yet been to the latter as it is a newer addition. They are only a couple of blocks apart though.
As for scoring miles: a $100 gift cert at a place that only gives miles on Sun/Mon would currently yield DL 2200 miles: 100 (purchase) + 100 (double miles on DL AMEX this month) + 1000 (iDine elite) + 1000 (as 100/150 minimum for 1500 mile bonus).
