Happy Hour starts early at this New Orleans-inspired joint, where most plates are a mere $6 Mon-Fri 9am-11am. Choose from hearty dishes like Spicy Tasso and Tomato Confit scrambles, or Crawfish Etouffe. Whatever your option, be sure to end with a plate of beignets with chicory creme anglaise.
One of the most popular restaurant deals in Seattle can be had at this award-winning West Seattle spot, where Monday Nights mean fried chicken and a plethora of side dishes ($80 for 4 people), heaping plates of spaghetti and meatballs, grilled steaks and beautifully cooked fish--all for well under $20 a person.
One of the best restaurant deals in Seattle is located just over the bridge, at Bellevue's Monsoon East. Specialty cocktails go for $6, while $5 will nab you plates of lemongrass chicken skewers, Saigon sliders, stir-fried calamari with snow peas, and--our favorite--bo la lot beef (flank steak wrapped in aromatic la lot leaves.)
This classic, Neapolitan pizzeria recently started doing $5 pizza Happy Hour (choose from Margherita, Marinara or Salame) at all locations, though availability differs. Check www.viatribunali.net for hours.
One of the best under-the-radar ?Secret Late-Night Happy Hours? in town can be found after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, where $5 will get you a plate of whatever the chef feels like cooking that night. You might get to try items like geoduck risotto or maitake mushrooms with ramp puree, crowned with a fried egg.
OK, so this isn't technically a restaurant deal in Seattle, but it's a sweet treat nonetheless. From 4pm-6pm Mon-Fri, you can nab deep discounts like 25 percent off all cookies at this Tom Douglas bakery. (Sometimes, they have mini coconut pies for $1, too.) Deals rotate daily.
Monday nights at this West Seattle joint features Wagyu steak--3 different cuts priced between $15-18. Wash down your beefy plate with half priced wine (glass or bottle).
This sweet little Ballard spot is known for their high quality gelato--the Sicilian pistachio is one that frequently runs out. Looking for a bargain? Grab a pint from D'Ambrosio during the last hour they're open each day at a deeply discounted price.
Despite a rocky first year, Bastille seems to have hit their stride--and the patrons that flock here for lamb burgers and mussels and fries seem to agree. This always-packed restaurant serves up one of the best falafels in town. Check it out during their Happy Hour and get it for a mere $5 instead of $9.
From Sunday-Wednesday, enjoy free appetizer or dessert with the purchase of two entrees at dinner. Drink specials on Margaritas every Monday, and tequila on Tuesday nights!
Appetizers for $1? Well drinks for $2? It's not a typo--you'll find these deals (and more) at Madhu in Belltown, everyday from 4-8pm
Until Oct. 31st, enjoy a 3 course set meal at this swanky downtown steakhouse for only $39.
From Monday-Friday, enjoy an ultra-cheap $6 breakfast from Silence Heart Nest (a lovely vegetarian eatery) before 11am. Choose from items like Eggs Florentine and Grilled Marinaded Tofu with toast.
