Seattle is an expensive city to live, work, and eat-in, as we are all way too familiar. So, thank god for some awesome happy hours that make it ez to eat some good food. When I first moved here, I started compiling a list of places w great Seattle happy hours, so whenever I meet someone for dinner after work, I know a good spot.
Many of these places don’t post their happy hour online, so you will have to go in and check. These should all be accurate as of May 30, 2026, but these could change. So it goes.

1. jackson street pizza lounge
jacksonstreetpizzalounge.com · @jacksonstreetpizzalounge
- i love their pizza. I think this place might actually be my favorite pizza place in Seattle, and I love going here both for their cocktails and their pizza. Last year I threw a BYOP party (bring your own pizza), and then we all voted on which one was our favorite. happy to say, Jackson Street’s El Pastor won. Everyone loved it, so definitely check this place out.
