Instead of focusing on what Belltown has lost, we’d like to inject some positivity in the form of BBQ sauce on an overlooked aspect of this often scrutinized neighborhood.
Many Seattleites associate the Frontier Room with the kind of desperate meat-market weekend scene that most First Avenue bars seem to thrive on, however such oversimplifications ignore what is possibly one of the best happy hours in the city.
In a town that is lacking decent BBQ, it is a shame the Frontier Room’s menu goes without notice. Corn-fed Nebraska beef, bacon-wrapped prawns, pulled-pork mini BBQ burgers, mac-and-cheese and more, all for $3 apiece until 6:30pm weekdays! Alcohol, schmalcohol, it’s all the same but where else in Seattle can you get real BBQ for the price of a couple of Dick’s burgers?
If you can’t stand the desperation of the single boozehounds that come out later, we understand, but for the love of everything inexpensive and BBQ drizzled you owe it to yourself to try this gem out.

Purists are going to argue endlessly about the relative merits of each of these establishments, but IME, each has/has had outstanding offerings (consistency at some of these places does, however, sometimes leave something to be desired).
