It’s no surprise this bar won best happy hour. Its $5 nachos are piled high and to the diner seem never-ending. Other considerations almost don’t even matter. With locations in Ballard, Redmond, and West Seattle, Matador offers happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. daily. Just leave a gig at the Sunset Tavern? Got a hankering for a bite and a beer before going home? The Matador is your oasis among the busy fisherman village crowds. And if it’s not beer you want, try one of the many tequilas.
