McCormicks Restaurants (Multi-locations) Only at this Lake Union location in the 9-story 'AGC' building you'll find McCormick's Harborside ...they are SeattleBarFly's numero-uno! The Happy hour sports a few $1.95 items like the cheese quesadilla, a $2.95 1/2 lb. cheeseburger, and more offerings changing monthly at $2.95 to $4.95. Lately, my fave is the ahi tuna roll.. nice. McCormick's has a posh interior with great views of downtown across the marina... all make for a great 'take-your-1st-date' location, or, enjoy a spiffy off-site business meeting. Generously-poured drinks. Mon.-Fri. 3-6 p.m., and 10 p.m. to midnight; Sat./Sun. 4-6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Three locations: 1103 First, 623-5500; 722 Fourth, 682-3900; and 1200 Westlake N. (called The Harborside), 270-9052. Tell Barkeeps Damon, William, or Pete that you heard about them thru SeattleBarFly. OUTDOOR SEATING!

Ivar's Salmon House -One of the best happy hours in Seattle! It's like a trip to Tillicum Village but without the boat ride, and better the deal with a full bar. BooYeah! Could it get any better? really? The bar is called 'The Whalemaker Lounge' and it offers one hellova great view of downtown Seattle (twilight is best!) located at canal side.. kinda under the ship canal I-5 freeway bridge. Take your date there and act like a big cheeze with plenty of happy food at a great price... and get into the view at downtown Seattle for awhile. Ahhhaaa.
