The People's Pub

More info at my new site, SeattleBarBlog.com

If you like German food - go, enough said.

I ALWAYS get the Brats x 2 with Strongbow apple cider. The Happy Hours specials change daily. It's a decent happy hour, but that's not why I go. It's a great pub with a great atmosphere, especially in the rear.

Speaking of the rear, that reminds me - there's also a front part, away from the bar, a little quieter so depending on your crowd, or yourself, you can have a slightly more subdued experience if need be.

There's also a decent assortment of board games, including chess, and yes I've played chess there. There's a juke box too, decent as well. Go there and go again.

Holy carp (yep, that's right, CARP!), don't miss this happy hour. It's so good, it's the only one I have memorized. It's 4-6 and 10-1am. All the great appetizers are $4 and holy carp, the nachos. Have the nachos, they're as big as your head...two heads I might even say! It's best for two people, but even if it's just yourself, go for it. You can have the rest later, donate it, or leave it. Any way you look at it, it's not a waste.

Sorry, no drink discounts, but man oh man, it's worth it for the appetizers.

The great atmosphere is out of this world. If you get to sit by the fire, it's pretty warm, so dress in layers, The Glen would not steer you wrong. It's close to the rest of the great Ballard Pubs that you can walk, stumble or taxi too, especially People's Pub.

The Great Nabob

More info at my new site, SeattleBarBlog.com

Yes, The Great Nabob is might I say great. It's always been low key, yet good energy flows. As far as the happy hour, it's moderateley priced, and the food is first class.

Happy Hour - Monday - Friday 5pm to 8pm - updated 2/28/05
Monday $5 Jaeger & PBR
Tuesday $2 Pints of Manny's
Wednesday All Wine 1/2 price
Thursday $4.50 cosmos
Friday $4.50 Lemon Drops

Update - The place can fit more people now. If you've been there, you know there's a pool table in the back left. Well, now the area has an entire left hand side, so almost double the original drink and get happy space, which can be used for so many things....getting drunk, picking up women, eating, making a fool of yourself, gawking, passing out...you get the picture.

At this fine establishment, I had both a white and black Russian, drink that is. They were both great. To be more precise, my white Russian used the remaining cream, then I wanted another I asked the bartender to just go ahead and add more Kaluah, and he did. Very good.

The live music that I've caught there has been tasteful, nothing overbearing. So, yes, I will be back as I have already. Very nice.

For happy hour, I go there at 5:10pm on 1-5-06. Overall, I'd go back. This is based on 2 cape cods ($3 each) which tasted like they had the right balance of vodka and cran, very good. The food was good, although it was supposed to be bread sticks with cheese, it turned out to be a really small pizza w/o tomato sauce, but hey I need some vittles while I eat - $5. There were only drinks specials, which I confirmed with my server.

As for the details, from what I can remember all gin and vodka drinks were $3 each, and the select happy hour drafts were less than that.

The website indicates drink AND food specials. When I got there, there were only drinks specials, strike 1, heck that almost counts as two strikes. The server wasn't very helpful in telling me exactly what was on happy hour prices and mumbled a bit.
