Bad Albert's

3pm to 6pm daily
All day Monday
score:
Nestled at the south end of Ballard Ave. lies Bad Albert's--not to be confused with the cartoon, Fat Albert. Open eleven years this month, Bad Albert's has become one of the Ballard's mainstays. While the rest of Ballard Ave. becomes more gentrified, Bad Albert's has been growing a fun, regular crowd by serving great food and drinks at decent prices. The employees can't say enough about how great their owner boss is, which is worth patronage for that reason alone. A great guy deserves a great crowd. This rainy, Wednesday there was space available both at tables and the bar.

Ballard Bar and Grill

Seattle, WA 98107
2067829024
3pm to 6pm Monday thru Friday
score:
Located in lovely Frelard or Ballmont, whatever you would like to call that murky area between Ballard and Fremont. The Ballard Bar and Grill is a huge space with many games to play, pool, darts, video. Happy hour is offered from 3pm to 6pm, but that is the only information the bartender would divulge. She was too flustrated (my mother's word for being both flustered and frustrated) to talk about the specials.

Good ole Charlies, seems like it is been on Broadway since Broadway was Broadway. Once it was trendy with it's high wooden booths and stained glass, now it is just a fun place to hang and get drunk. With over six hours of happy hour daily, Charlie's draws mostly a young crowd and some regulars at the bar. This Friday night there was plenty of space available both at the bar and at tables.

Collins Pub

score:
Collins Pub owner, Seth Howard, has turned an empty store front into an after work hot spot for people of all drinking ages. 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.

score:
Floyd’s is a it of sports place, thirteen televisions on all of them having something to do with ball. Floyd’s has a great draft beer selection. Twenty-nine in all, some being constant, others on specials. Unfortunately, draft beer is not on happy hour. Floyd’s gets very busy and does not offer happy hour before Key Arena events. But they do offer drink specials. On this Wednesday afternoon, the long bar offered many spots and the tables were empty. If you have to wait a minute for your beer, remember the Floyd’s motto, “Don’t be a pig, don’t have a cow.”

FX McRory's

(206) 623-4800
3-6pm daily
score:
Everyday FX McRory’s happy hour has a draft and speciality drink on special, and they have print outs of monthly menus of what those will be. McCory’s has 30 drafts and claims the world’s largest collection of bourbon, so anything is possible for happy hour. This rainy Friday night the crowd was sparse in the lounge. The only people at the bar were three very young and friendly young men with empty glasses, and hopefully cab rides in front of them. The bartender blamed the weather and lack of an event for the poor happy hour turn out. Which was perplexing as happy hour isn’t available at FX McCory’s during large events at Safeco and Qwest field. The low attendance could be due to Happy Hour being over at 6:00. Office workers are just getting started and it’s over-- kinda like my love life.

No pool, no darts, no outdoor seating--just Hooters! Never a problem with the service, each waitress is required to stop by your table and say “Hi, these are my breasts.” On this cloudy, Thursday afternoon, the joint was rocking, fun and full, but tables were still available. The food is standard fare, but where else can you see young girls dance and shake it?

Jabu’s is a fun little place divided into two drinking areas. A small u-shaped bar at the front door for intimate conversation and a larger area for pool playing and big screen TV watching with comfy couches. Between the two spots, seats are always available. This reviewer’s favorite part about Jabu’s is Monday Night Bingo. Soon one of those mini disco balls will be mine! And remember, at Jabu’s smiles are always free.

As the name and the graffiti in the restroom implies, this place is home away from home for Australian and New Zealanders. The air is thick with down under accents, but going against the stereotype, the Sheila next to me says she comes here because she doesn’t get bothered. The Kangaroo and Kiwi offers food, beer and even candy bars from the homeland. This sunny Wednesday evening the crowd was small, but rowdy, making us wonder how crazy it gets later in the evening.

Nara Grill’s looks are deceiving---on the outside, not so much--on the inside, lovely. Nara Grill has beautiful lighting and soft music playing. It is a great place for satisfying your sushi fix while watching the Mariners. On this cloudy Wednesday night Nara Grill had only a few regulars at the bar. Stephanie the bar manager, said she has a large group of regulars who always come in and wondered why it was unusually quiet, and just as the words came out of her mouth, eight people walked in. Two of which wanted to see my Nara Grill happy hour membership card. I told them it was in the mail. $5 drink minimum.

Peso’s has the busiest and most popular happy hour on Queen Anne. This sunny Thursday night there was no room left at the bar, but some tables were available. Peso's offers over 24 items on their happy hour menu, some of the favorites being lamb taquitos and crab & avacado spring rolls. The decor of Peso’s is old world Mexican with many “Dia de Los Muertos” artifacts hanging from the walls. Music is supplied by a computer with 7,000 songs, with each bartender having their own playlist. Three TVs were broadcasting three different sporting events. The service was fast and friendly and happy hour is available in the restaurant, so it’s kid friendly. Their are 24 items on the happy hour menu, ranging from appetizers to soups and salads. And if you ask for the expanded menu you will find hot sandwiches for $5 to $6. No drink specials are offered and there is a $3 beverage minimum. Chips and Salsa, are $2 during happy hour, and free during the regular lunch and dinner hours. Note: Happy hour goes to 5pm on Key Arena event nights.

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.
