Ivar's Acres of Clams (waterfront tourist gag)

Ivar's Acres of Clams was founded by Ivar Haglund and its flagship waterfront restaurant on Pier 54 has been a long-standing Seattle tourist attraction. The restaurant and the Ivar's brand are closely associated with Seattle's waterfront dining and clam chowder offerings. Locals often jokingly refer to Ivar's as an essential stop for visitors exploring the downtown waterfront.
