Our Seattle Happy Hour guide is your ticket to after-work fun around the Seattle area and Eastside. Written by Seattle locals - it gives you the "down and dirty" on the specials you can hook up with. Consider using a Seattle limousine service or affordable Seattle taxi to make your night-out safe, comfortable, and fun...
Downtown Seattle is the place to hang out with the office workers blowing their paycheck in swanky restaurants. From the Metropolitan Grill's incredible happy hour specials to McCormick and Schmick's seafood discounts - you can booze it up and pay a lot less. You get top restaurants - many of which offer both an early - and a late night happy hour. Don't forget the late night Seattle happy hours after a movie or a show - come hungry.
Our downtown Seattle happy hour listings have been lovingly updated in March 2009. The hours and prices are based on the restaurant's own response to a direct survey. If you do find a significant error - please email to qualify for a free drink coupon.
