On Friday, Po Dog doyenne Laura Olson quietly opened the doors of her new place in Ballard. The space at 2016 NW Market Street was originally announced as Queen of Norway, a joint endeavor with then-fiance Chris Pardo.

Now the space is a decidedly nonfancy watering hole with rope and anchors and portholes and nautical touches aplenty. Plus it's adjacent to the Ballard Po Dog, so your voyage can also include a decked-out tubesteak.

Eater Seattle has some background on the bar and its partnership right over here. Hours are 4 to 2; here's the Facebook page if you want to keep track of the goings on.
