Goodness, look at the time! Our Seattlest Happy Hour is right around the corner--next Monday, the 16th. We're going to get all Obama on your ass and change things up by moving locales to Bimbo's, home of the all-day Monday happy hour. Specials include $2.75 wells, $3.50 margaritas, $3.50 bloody marys, $1 off pitchers, 50¢ off drafts, and $1 off nachos. Look for us at a row of tables either towards the back (to the left of the bar) or along the front windows. Usual time (5-8ish), but Monday is also the holiday, so if you're a patriotic American, feel free to show up early. See you there! more ›

Also worthy are Jalisco's various locations and, of course, Mama's Mexican Kitchen in Belltown. Or take it one step further and head to Tacos Guaymas in Greenlake to catch Pedrito Vargas y su Grupo Ashe. more ›
