Best Happy Hourt in Seattle
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

09/26/2007 Posted by malsquad

My girlfriend and I went here last night as part of the New Urban Drinks program several restaurants around Seattle did in September. We went directly after work, and we found a seat right in the bar/lounge right away. Shortly after we sat down, our server brought us a menu. Because it wasn't specifically marked what was or wasn't part of the New Urban Drinks special, I asked our server, who informed us that it was actually Happy Hour until 6 and that (amazingly) it was even cheaper than the NUD. What a fantastic Happy Hour BOKA has! All food items are half off, and many of the drinks are much cheaper as well, including wines, beers, and wells. We got 4 plates: a very good sized caesar salad, sole fries (like fish sticks, but amazing), bruschetta, and mac'n'cheese (very good as well). My girlfriend got a lemon drop, which she said was very good and was served in a really cute cocktail glass - only $7! Total, the bill was less than $30. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful as well, really chic without giving off an overly pretentious vibe. Jazz was played over the speakers, and all the people in the bar/lounge area were very nice looking. I think that many of them had been staying in the attached hotel (which is also one of the sleekest hotels in the city), because a lot of them were well dressed businessmen. All-in-all, it was an amazing place to come for Happy Hour - my new fav!

Pros: Best Happy Hour ever, really inexpensive

Cons: Probably gets crowded on Friday/Saturday as bar/lounge is small

Editor's Review

A decidedly artistic backdrop and impressive seasonal menu brings a pleasantly modern option to downtown hotel dining.  See the full editorial review.
