Cutters Bayhouse The real views are in the dining room, which overlooks Elliott Bay. The happy-hour specials are available only in the bar, but its view of Pike Place Market ensures prime people-watching from 3 to 7 p.m. Just-off-work downtown professionals gather here for the extended happy hour and its seafood deals, including half-price sushi. Plates such as the cajun shrimp ($3.95) are big enough to share; also try the meaty crab-and-artichoke dip or the delicious calamari-nacho fusion dish (both $4.95). There’s only one beer on the menu (Cutters Amber Lager at $2.95), and specialty cocktails—including the sweet, mysteriously colored Blue Lagoon with Absolut mandarin vodka, pineapple juice, and rum—run $3.95 to $4.25. 2001 Western Ave., 206-448-4884.
