The End of the Crazy Fish?
This could be the end of an era — a loss for Downtown Port Angeles and the Clallam/Jefferson County music scene.
The Crazy Fish — 229 West First Street, Port Angeles — is for sale. The owners, Cypress Vollmer and Molly Tucker, are burned out after the Crazy Fish’s four-year run. Hopefully they’ll find a buyer who will keep the business going.
Stephen Farr, who's in charge of Karaoke Night on Tuesdays, said: “"This is the most diverse, fun bar in Port Angeles. It's the only bar I'll work at. It has entertainment for the older crowd and the younger college crowd too. We should do whatever we can to keep it here.”
The Crazy Fish has a jazz/blues jam on Wednesday nights; open mic on Thursdays and live bands (including a lot of local groups) on Friday and Saturday.
Out of the three businesses in that same building that preceded the Crazy Fish, none of them lasted longer than a year. And here's some Port Angeles history: the Lady of the Lake was last seen alive in the upstairs hotel of the building that’s now the Crazy Fish. And the Lady of the Lake is the name of one of the Crazy Fish’s most popular drinks.

I really can only see one business model working in a place like that: turn it into a bordello. They could do some kind of 'half price' tuesdays to get in more clientel on the off nights.
I sure hope somebody local will buy it. Failing that, somebody from the Seattle area. It's a great opportunity, with a lot of customer loyalty, and I'd hate to see it close. Port Angeles is lucky to have such a great place.
perhaps if they'd try and sell it themselves instead of trusting a crazy person to sell it.....they would have sold it by now and not needed to do the "desperate" move of an item in the newspaper.
Fear not, friends! The PADA is coming to the rescue! Capitalizing on the success that Gary Coleman and Mr. T made of Shop 'Til You Drop last Thursday, the PADA are sponsoring a Save The Crazy Fish benefit featuring appearances by Danny Bonneducci, Todd Bridges (if he can get out of jail) and Charro ("cootchie-cootchie, Port Angeles!")!
If you aren't excited, you're already six feet under!
Ok, fine, they can sing at the jam tonight, but I'm not letting them play my guitars!
Well, at least the Junction will get more customers if the Crazy Fish closes.
If only someone would bring back disco.... but alas.
Karaoke anyone? Personally I sing like a poorly tuned weedeater and I think everyone should listen to me as I belt out Disco Inferno while extremely intoxicated.
