McCormick & Schmick's Harborside - dine & dash

though i was only present for a few minutes before being called away for an emergency meeting of the Justice League (my super power is complete awesomeness), i managed to order and scarf down a $2 burger and fries. i can't say it was the best burger i ever had, but you just can't beat the price. i hear the drink specials were not as good (i think i stiffed some clubbers with my bill), but cheap grub and harborside view are reasons enough to go back.



yours truly,

Moe Bar...get fried.

I am going to have to throw down the term "old school" here. A very 70's rocker feeling going on at the Moe Bar, but maybe it has something to do with its history? Go figure.
The bar next door to the live-music club Neumo's, the Moe Bar is, in my opinion one of the happiest of happy hours on Capital Hill in Seattle. Easy access to any hill dweller and one of the closest drinks to Seattle University. I am a huge fan.
You can order mall bites off of the Fish Fry (a neighboring restaurant's) happy hour menu and enjoy fried cod, catfish, tuna etc. while you drink a 2 buck well, and spend even less for beer. Fried potatoes and fried zucchini are the gut BOMB. A fun-frenzy of Cheez-its were delivered to our table in a wide mouth glass along side our drinks. A classy touch.  Beverages were tasty and inexpensive. My favorite combo. 
The atmosphere at the Moe Bar is laid back and easy. People watching is interesting, lots of black eyeliner and tattoos. Usually one or two bartenders pouring makes for some spotty attendance at your table, but not spotty enough that I wasn't asked a time or two if I wanted another. Yes please.

Liberty

Hands down one of our favorites. 
Cap Hill branded sushi, fresh squeezed drinks, comfy sofas, cool magazines, and happening neighbors. The Liberty off of 15th is thee most happening place for happy hour. Dude, they serve absinthe. Absinthe out of a Art Nouveau server that was made especially for the serving.
Well before we started calling happy hour...happy hour club, we were hanging out at Liberty. In fact, we have thrown down there plenty of times after the name was created as well come to think of it. I still have those Craigslist posts that we all composed together. Like spin the bottle, only different.

Bandits Bar

Word. The day is upon us y'all! After weeks of Happy Hour Club parading our fine selves about, I am up and gettin' myself to the blog spot. While the process of having a great time at the end of the day relaxing and enjoying each other is great, the blog somehow makes this all feel so official! To celebrate, someone by a round!! Joke.
Do I need to post about our last experience? We gave Bandits Bar a teetering 3 on a scale of 1-5? I dig that the bar tenderest was very hip and timely with drinks and food. A friendly redhead serving a Colt 45?...bonus. Dogs lounging around inside puts a smile on my pout any day. Outdoor seating was iffy as garbage trucks off of Denny are pretty noisy and made Steve grumpy. The Space Needle view keeps your neck cocked. Yes, I said cock. Jamie walked and Jess bussed. Steve and I shared a ride. Stale-ish food was served to us on paper out of reusable baskets...anyone see a GREEN theme here? Thought I would give it a try at least. :)
