Happy Hour Guide

The Irish Emigrant The Irish waitress, with a timbre of melancholy and fatigue, calls you "hon" and "sweet" while bringing you a $3 pint of Harp during happy hour (4 to 7 p.m. daily). "Thank you," you say. You take a bite of your $3 Macho Nachos that are short on cheese but big on filling. The sun falls on your face out on the outdoor deck, and you look around at summer college students and off-the-clock painters sipping cold ones and talking about Professor Davis, Edgar Martinez, and the joy that comes with sunshine. The beer is good, and the $3 fare (from half-pound burgers to a beef stew that no one seems to order) is simple and does what happy-hour food should: satisfies. And that's how you feel at the Emigrant: satisfied. OUTDOOR SEATING! 5260 University Wy. N.E., 206-525-2955.

Ivar's Salmon House It's like a trip to Tillicum Village, without the boat ride and with a full bar. Could it get any better, really? Yes! The bar is called the Whalemaker Lounge! And it has a great view of distant, forgotten downtown! And happy-hour well drinks, draft beers, house wines, and appetizers (chowder with garlic bread! Calamari! Clam strips and chips! Caesar! And more!) are only $2.50! 3:30–6:30 p.m. and 9–10 p.m. weekdays. OUTDOOR SEATING! 401 N.E. Northlake Way, 206-632-0767.

The Monkey Pub This pub doesn't monkey around when it comes to happy hour. From 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday (and all day on Sunday!), this comfy Roosevelt hangout serves up $2.50 wells and microbrews, not to mention free pool at the Monkey's well-lit tables (if you can finagle your way to the front of the line). But wait: There's so much more! Monday night is taco bar night, so order a round o' tequila and pass the hot sauce. Of course, you could also relieve your hunger pangs with calzones from Pete's Calzone next door. And turn your attention toward the hit-filled jukebox. 5305 Roosevelt Way N.E., 206-523-6457.

West Seattle

Duke's The boats outside the windows gently rock and the generic marine decor soothes; and Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., Duke's has $2.50 wells and Red Hooks, and $3.95 "Duketails"—a stupid, stupid name for six very tasty extra-strength kamikazes. Very nice appetizers, such as the delectable calamari steak strips, are half price; you can take them to the waterfronty outdoor seating and pretend you're the drunken sailor they wrote that song about. OUTDOOR SEATING! 2516 Alki S.W., 206-937-6100, WEST SEATTLE; 901 Fairview Ave. N., 206-382-9963, SOUTH LAKE UNION.
