Seattle, Washington is one of the United States’ most beautiful and exciting cities. Its unique location on the Puget Sound gives the city lots of green spaces, water activities, and dramatic views of the skyline against Mount Rainier in the distance. After a day visiting Seattle’s icons like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, you’ll want to check out one of Seattle’s great food spots. The city has expanded greatly in the past few years, and so have its restaurant and bar options! Since the beginning of 2018 alone, lots of new innovative spots to eat and drink have popped up across Seattle, meaning you don’t have to trek all the way downtown for an afternoon happy hour. Read on for our round-up of the best happy hours in Seattle, with diverse locations, schedules, and menu options!

3. Corner Spot


The Corner Spot is a new neighborhood joint in the Ballard area of Seattle that just opened in early 2018. Its owner formerly owned a cocktail bar right downtown near Pike’s Place and aims for this restaurant to be a quieter venture. However, the craft cocktails are still just as good! For a discount of up to four dollars on house drinks, go to the daily happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. In addition to cheap drinks, there are also discounted snacks to graze on.

5. Le Messe

Our patio is officially open! Come check out our extended happy hour and specials available everyday on our patio.

Posted by Le Messe on Sunday, 5 August 2018

The happy hour at Le Messe is elusive — it isn’t listed on their website, which means only guests who have done their research will know about it. In addition to its semi-secrecy, the other great thing about Le Messe’s happy hour is that it’s actually two separate hours: the first is from 5:00 to 6:00 pm and the second is from 9:00 to 10:00 pm. It’s a great option for those who can’t make an early evening happy hour or who simply want cheap but quality drinks and meals at night. Dinner-sized portions of their delicious pasta are half off, wines and cocktails are 7 or 8 USD, and a tallboy beer is only 3 USD!

7. Dottie's Double Wide

Posted by Dottie’s Double Wide on Friday, 11 May 2018

This funky little spot doesn’t look like a whole lot from the outside: the entrance is through half of an old aluminum trailer that was sawed in two. However, once you enter Dottie’s Double Wide, you’ll fall in love with this funky, kitschy bar. The bar is an old-school dive with dark lighting and velvet paintings on the walls. They serve classic drinks and yummy tacos. They also have a 3-hour happy hour every day from 3:00 to 6:00 pm — perfect for folks who are eager to start their late afternoon revelry! Enjoy deals like 3 street tacos for 5 USD, 2-for-1 margaritas, and 1 USD for other drinks.

Authentic, freshly made soba noodles are a rare find in the United States — Kamonegi is one of the few restaurants in the whole country to prepare them in the traditional Japanese way! They are made of 80% buckwheat and 20% flour and must be cut very carefully by hand with special attention. Any patron at Kamonegi will tell you that these delicious noodles are worth the extra effort, and they are served in versatile ways with hot broth, cold broth, and different toppings and flavors. They are also considered a common hangover food, making them the perfect companion to happy hour! Kaomonegi’s happy hour runs from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 9:00 to 11:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
