When Appetizers Are Just Not Enough

Anthony’s Hearthfire Grill

Had your fill of nachos, tots and fries lately? Enjoy the benefit of happy hour prices but while enjoying a full meal at Anthony’s Hearthfire Grill. The pre-set Early Dinner Menu is available Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. For $21.95, you will be treated to a delicious appetizer, soup or salad, entrée, and dessert. Select wines, cocktails, and local drafts also available for happy hour prices from $3.50 to $5. Inside, the ambience is created from the large, panoramic windows overlooking the water. Sit outside on sunny days, even if there is a chill: blankets are provided.

Waterstreet Café and Bar

Whether you want to play games or sit and talk with loved ones, there’s a happy hour spot perfect for you.

Sure, going to a happy hour on a date might be a faux pas in some people’s books, but if you two can agree that spending less money on food and drinks is a good thing, it can be a beautiful start to your relationship. And at Waterstreet Café and Bar, the elegance of the room and food will make a beautiful backdrop for the date. With multiple food choices ranging from $4 to $10 per plate (all share-worthy sizes), and tried and true drink options, from $4 to $6, all palates and preferences will likely be met. Waterstreet Café is located in the Legion Building across from Capitol Lake. Happy hour is from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. daily and 9:00 p.m. to 12:00ish on Friday and Saturday nights. The happy hour area is within the bar; reservations are not generally allowed for happy hour tables, but feel free to try.

After Volunteering At West Central Park On Sundays

The Westside Tavern

Some restaurants, like the Westside Tavern, also offer happy hour deals on Sundays.

Transforming a corner lot into a beautiful park takes work, and a cold beer paired with garlicky, cheese fries is a treat after a long day of planting and weeding. The Westside Tavern is about a two-minute walk from West Central Park and offers happy hour all day Sunday, plus weekdays from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Well drinks and domestic and micro brews range from $2.75 to $3.75 and the few appetizers offered on the happy hour menu range from $4 to $8. Continue your time outside on the patio, or enjoy your drink inside while playing pool or watching a game. And, if you plan on coming every week, consider joining the Westside Mug Club. A one-time $60 fee gets you a personalized 20-ounce mug, a spot in the holding area, and four extra ounces each time you get a drink.

When You Need Space To Play Games

4th Ave Tavern

Not many dive bars have the adjective of being roomy, but 4th Ave Tavern is an exception. Known for being Olympia’s largest venue for live music, the Tavern is also a great place for a game-filled happy hour. There are seven pool tables, pinball machines, darts, and the ability to transform ample free space into a spectacular place for you and your friends to gather for a board game. Happy hour is seven days a week from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and offers $3 wells and $3 microbrews. No food discounts, but traditional pub foods and clams are on the menu.

When You Want A Chance To Win Discounts

Hannah’s Bar and Grille

Every drink purchased during happy hour earns one scratch off ticket that gives you the chance to pay less for your drink. Like the many who buy lottery tickets even though the probabilities of winning are less than one in a million, the thrill of the eventual payoff is worth each try. Even if you don’t win, happy hour well drinks and beer are 50 cents off for everyone. Also test your luck on the pull-tabs, arcade games, and pool tables while enjoying burgers and fries and chatting with Hannah’s friendly bartenders. Happy hour is from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. daily and all day on Sunday.
