Bamboo had a fantastic view of the Seattle skyline and the Sound from it’s sidewalk seating. As the name implies, Bamboo has a tropical theme and decor, making it really fun on a sunny, nice day. On this sunny Thursday, the crowd was sparse, but then it was Cinco de Mayo. Zac, the bartender, says they get busier for the late happy hour then the afternoon.

Broadway Grill has a big happy hour area, plenty of room for everyone you know. Nikki, the bartender, was busy, but we never waited even a second for our drinks. And she was really great about making sure we got happy hour last call. This cloudy Thursday, the bar was full, but plenty of space was available at tables. Happy hour is available throughout the restaurant, bar area and sidewalk seating. What makes the Broadway Grill so fun is the large skylights and actually trees growing. Now, who doesn’t like to drink next to a tree?

The Capitol Club is a place most people don't think of for a Seattle happy hour, but they have unique food specials and killer outdoor seating, a balcony that overlooks Pine St. So you can do a drive by and see if there is room for you and yours. If not, there is plenty of room in the bar. While your soaking up the sun and realizing that nothing matters, and what if it did, have a Harlot, a Capitol Club specialty martini that is a mix of Vox Raspberry Chamboard with fresh raspberries.

It is the kind of place where the suit and sweater crowd mix happily, a true Seattle Happy Hour. The Collins Pub has only been open 10 months, but come on down because they have a 20 year lease. Start with one of the 22 beers they have on tap, then after happy hour, switch to one of the 58 bottled beers they offer. No lack of choice here. No happy hour food specials offered.

Salty’s on Alki

3-6pm M-F
score:
This sunny Thursday there were few patrons at Salty’s happy hour. Which is unfortunate, because Salty’s offers the best view of the Sound and the Seattle skyline in West Seattle. And the happy hour prices are nice to look at as well. Salty’s offers some of regular menu items at discount prices, not just a few appetizers. Happy hour is offered in the cafe and patio, where kids are welcomed. During the summer months, happy hour revelers can take the Water Taxi to Alki from Seattle’s Waterfront. No reason to drive.

score:
Serafina is a charming little Italian place at the south end of Eastlake Ave. During the summer they have a back patio surrounded by a lovely garden, but this fall eveing it was abandoned. What makes Serafina's happy hour special is the food, which is not the typical happy hour food. Instead, they offer the appetizers available on their regular menu with smaller portions. Happy hour at Serafina is a great opportunity to sample the treats of one of Seattle's most beloved restaurants.

score:
On this stormy Friday, late in to the happy hour, the bar was full at Sport, but there was plenty of room at the tables. Sport happy hour is still in the processed of being defined and offered so early in the day to accommodate employees of Fischer Plaza. Currently the specials are only available in the bar and the outdoor patio, which has a great view of the Space Needle. Sport offers five TVs for sport viewing and gets downright crazy before events at the Key, although happy hour isn’t offered when there is a sporting event at the Seattle Center. Take advantage of bartender Marcus Nates’ awarding winning martinis and watch poetry in motion.

Sully’s have been a Phinney Ridge Saloon since the 1920s and has the look and feel of an Irish cottage. In addition to the daily happy hour, Sully's has happy hour all day on Sundays.

Sully’s doesn’t offer food specials during happy hour, but has very reasonable priced pub grub at all times, Like $2 grilled cheese sandwiches and $2.50 for a hot dog.

The War Room has a surprize-the happy hour lounge is an upstairs, outdoor deck! Surrounded by bamboo and supplied with heating lamps, it is the perfect place on a summer evening. The bambo hides the bar from the street and cuts down on the traffic noise. The area is small so not cohesive for large groups, but perfect spot for a date or some serious girl talk.

Opened in 1999, the Waterfront is very fancy and beautiful place. It is a crap shoot on available space. On this sunny Friday night, there were plenty of spots available at the bar and on the outdoor deck. But we were here a few weeks ago and had to cancel our review, as we couldn't get a space. The view from the Waterfront is as amazing as the name implies, not only of the Sound, but of the Space Needle and Myrtle Edwards Park as well. Happy hour is available only in the lounge and outdoor deck.

The Zig Zag Cafe is where Murray, Seattle’s most beloved bartender, has been for two years. Nestled on the Pike Place Market’s Hillclimb, Zig Zag is a pretty happening place. Cool and dark on the this Thursday evening, even with the patio doors wide open. The Zig Zag Cafe offers eighteen cocktails on it’s happy hour menu for $5, beating out the usual price of $8.50. The bar was full, but there were spots available at inside tables and on the outside patio, where a slender view of the Sound can be seen. Zig Zag has a great happy hour if you feel the urge for an exotic cocktail, curling up in a luxurious, semicircle booth and thinking up ways to kill your boss.
