NEED TO KNOW
Opening Hours
This is caffeine-addicted Seattle, so some coffee bars open as early as 5am and
close at around 11pm, but 7am until 6pm is more standard. Bars usually serve
from lunchtime until 2am (when state liquor laws demand they stop selling
booze), although some don't open until 5pm and others start as early as 7am.
Variations from the norm are noted in individual reviews.
Ha-Ha-Happy Hours
The term 'happy hour' is a misnomer: most Seattle bars run their happy hours
from around 3pm until 6pm. As well as reductions in drink prices, some bars also
offer happy-hour deals on bar snacks, appetizers or even full-blown meals.
