Top 10 Happy Hours in Seattle Southside

I personally have always found that a restaurant’s Happy Hour is the best way for a customer to sit down and really get a chance to see what a restaurant has to offer. I mean come on, good food and drinks at affordable prices so you can actually afford to order everything on the menu, why wouldn’t you take advantage of happy hour?! For you, we at Seattle Southside gathered a list of the top 10 best restaurants to visit during happy hour. Hopefully this helps you narrow down your restaurant search at the times you’re starving.

Relax in the swanky atmosphere and unwind from your day with deals on select appetizers. Fried artichokes, 13 Coins sliders and the crispy brussels make a tasty meal at a price you'll love.

We’re pretty confident in saying that Moctezuma’s Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar offers such a great selection of authentic Mexican cuisine that one could not possibly be disappointed. With a dim and warm atmosphere (seriously, there’s fireplaces all around), you can feel right at home. The happy hour at Moctezuma’s just tops it all off. Every day the main happy hour specials rotate so each day of the week you can try something new, but they also have a standard happy hour that gives you a wonderful price off of not only appetizers, but entrees as well. Let’s not forget the drinks, delicious margaritas, and of course tequila, are all offered extensively to all guests.

Named one of Seattle’s best seafood restaurants, Duke's Chowder House serves some of the freshest seafood in the city. Their yummy entrees and “duketails” (cocktails, but better!) can guarantee each and every guest a rewarding experience. Not only is the food so delicious, their happy hour was also voted one of the top happy hours in the area! Happy hour offers a large selection of appetizers, salads, burgers, and sandwiches all at a happy price, and also drinks specials that include $5-$7 specialty "duketails" and $5 beers.

Let’s just start off and say that the view from Anthony’s HomePort (especially on a beautiful sunny day) is gorgeous! The restaurant overlooks the Des Moines Marina so you get views of other islands, the Olympic Mountains, and also South Puget Sound boating activity. This is one of the perfect places to enjoy amazing and fresh seafood, while enjoying breathtaking views. To add the cherry on top, Anthony’s HomePort provides a wonderful happy hour as well. $5 appetizers, oyster shooters, and burgers, and drink specials that change by the season, so year-round you get a wonderful selection of all of the specialty drinks for the happy price!

Some of the highlights of the menu include Pork Belly Cubano Sliders, Drenched Chipotle Fries, Smoked Marrow Bone, and drinks from local craft beer to the Barrel-Aged Interurban Boulevardier.

Kaihana Sushisaki is personally my favorite place to go for sushi, especially during happy hour.
