Chan Seattle offers a happy hour that's genuinely worth your time, especially if you're there for the food.

Metropolitan Grill

Metropolitan Grill's happy hour is a real deal for foodies, with significant savings on a good selection of high-quality bites. While the drink savings are merely meh, the stellar food offerings make this happy hour well worth a visit, especially for an early dinner.

3pm–5:30pm Mon–Fri

Marin

Marin's happy hour is a "real" contender for your late afternoon cravings. The food deals are excellent, especially if you're into seafood and shareable plates. Drinks are a "meh" situation, offering only slight savings, so don't come here just for cheap booze.

Premier Meat Pies

Don't bother with Premier Meat Pies for the happy hour food; it's mostly a sham. While the Pint of Beer offers a decent 41% discount, the food deals are practically non-existent, making this happy hour a miss for anything more than a quick, cheap brew.

2pm–5pm Mon–Fri

Cortina

Cortina is a "meh" happy hour overall. While the food offers some decent deals like the Casarecce Ragu and Little Gem Salad, the drink savings are underwhelming. It's not a total bust, but don't expect significant savings across the board.

2pm–6pm Mon–Fri | 4pm–6pm Sat

Polar Bar

Polar Bar is a "meh" happy hour overall. While the food deals are passable, the drink savings leave much to be desired. You might find a decent snack, but don't expect significant discounts on your beverages.

3pm–5pm Mon–Fri

Banyan Tree - Indian Chinese Grill

This happy hour at Banyan Tree is a definite "meh." While there are plenty of items on offer, the blanket 10% savings across the board means you're not getting any truly exciting deals. It's better than nothing, but don't expect to be wowed.

2pm–5pm Every day
Meh

Alder & Ash

Alder & Ash's happy hour is a solid "meh" for food, but since we couldn't verify drink prices, it's hard to say if it's truly worth your time. The Herb & Sea Salt Fries offer a decent, but not spectacular, discount. You might find better deals elsewhere.

3pm–6pm Every day

The Shop by Porter

Skip The Shop by Porter for happy hour. The food savings are a joke, and while the drinks are a bit better, it's nothing to write home about. You'll find better deals elsewhere.

4pm–7pm Every day
Meh

Queen City

Queen City's happy hour is a "meh" affair. While the drinks offer decent, though not spectacular, savings, food savings remain a mystery. You might find a slightly cheaper beer, but don't expect a culinary steal.

4pm–6pm Every day
Meh

INDNON Cafe & Bistro

INDNON Cafe & Bistro’s happy hour is a "meh" affair for drinks, and we can’t even tell you about the food. While the drink selection is extensive, the savings are merely passable, making it a less-than-thrilling prospect. You might find a better deal elsewhere.

3pm–5pm Every day
Meh

Serious Pie Downtown

Serious Pie Downtown's happy hour is a "meh." While the drink selection is decent, don't expect massive savings. The food savings couldn't be verified, so stick to the drinks if you go.

3pm–5pm Mon–Fri
