Galway Arms

This laid-back neighborhood pub has free live music almost every night of the week. The smoky bar can get rowdy, so grab some friends (and a seat) and kick back to enjoy the show?which may include an authentic Irish brawl. Happy hour features $2.50 wells and microbrews with different menus from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. (including beer-battered fish and chips and a fabulous, if out of place, hummus plate, all $2.95) and from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. ( with heartier food, at heartier prices: $4.95 for the award-winning clam chowder and Guinness stew). Both menus include fabulous French fries for $1.95. With happy hour twice a night, seven nights a week, one might be inclined to become a regular. Sunday-night darts anyone? 5257 University Way, 206-527-9868. UNIVERSITY DISTRICT
