  2 0 The cha cha lounge on pike between 1st n 2nd LP answered in Alcohol 10 months ago | Report 5 comments by NumberSix, LP, and Black Beetles in Amber… 1 1 They're not very cheap, even at happy hour NumberSix commented 10 months ago | Report 1 0 You might be right its moderate prices but I like the atmosphere...I've been there on many occasions where they serve 2$ rainers and bud... LP commented 10 months ago | Report 0 1 They're cheap and the drinks are strong every single time I've been there. Black Beetles in Amber commented 10 months ago | Report 1 0 If you go at happy hour, you're right, they're a pretty good deal. I don't really think $2.50 for a pint of Ranier is all that cheap but it's not expensive, I guess. I think I've been spoiled by gay bars, since I definitely wouldn't call the drinks at Cha Cha especially strong. Great nachos though. NumberSix commented 10 months ago | Report 0 0 They aren't gay bar strong, no. But their booze is comparatively, they've always been good for that in my book.

  1 0 There are no true dives on the hill. You'll only find moderate to expensive. But you can fix that. Strangermart sells groupon style coupons for Captain Blacks, Cha Cha and the Lookout, so you're basically drinking for half-price. Nothing for the Lookout right this second, but Captain Blacks and Cha Cha currently on sale. I recommend Captain Blacks for better deals and more breathing room. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Shop LMNOP answered in Alcohol 10 months ago | Report 2 comments by Black Beetles in Amber and LMNOP… 1 0 Aren't the groupons usually food-only? Either way, diveyness isn't a good metric of cheap booze, plenty of trashy places will stiff you on the drinks anyway. Black Beetles in Amber commented 10 months ago | Report 1 0 This is Strangermart, and it varies from deal to deal. Strangermart coupons are good for alcohol at every place I've listed. In the case of dive: True, there are trashy places that will stiff you on drinks. And they have some in Capitol hill. I wouldn't call any of them dives. A dive, by definition - mine, anyway - isn't pre-fab, isn't pretentious, is a little rough around the edges, and has an average well of around 3 bucks to 3.50 with bottom-shelf beer for a buck or two, and not just at happy hour.

  1 0 This is likely entirely too late for your birthday, but on the off chance that you're still poor and interested in economical boozing on the Hill: (1) The Redwood is your friend. Insofar as booze goes. The happy hour was just shortened, but still runs from 4 to 7. The $3 wells are about as cheap as they get on the Hill (though, if you're looking for an early funk for less, try the happy hour at the Broadway Grill). The real deal is the $4 beer/shot combo, and $6 pitchers. And swill beer is always $2/pint, $1.50 can, less during happy hour. Pours vary, depending on your barkeep and how much you tip, but are generally solid. Food is normal prices, but the burgers are solid. And the tortilla chips are fresh made and beautiful. (2) I second the StrangerMart recommendation. But be advised that those coupons are delivered by mail (or were the last time I used them), and so you need to plan a couple days in advance. Captain Black's happy hour is meh booze-wise, but the food menu is the shit. $3 deep-fried mac-n-cheese? Yes. (3) The Monk. Thursday nights. People tend to forget about their long running cask night. 3.00 or 3.50 buys you an imperial pint of generally severely potent cask aged microbrew. They don't sell this shit in pitchers. For good reason. Don't forget to try the doorbell, but you really have to hammer on it these days. (4) If you or any of your friends has an iOS device, get the Cocktail Compass app. It's not comprehensive (you won't find the Redwood or the Monk on there), but if you're happy hour hopping on a budget, it'll help you bridge the gaps between late night happy hours and afternoon ones. And remind you of useful all day ones. For example: The Cha Cha, while generally above average price-wise, has a happy hour all day on Sunday and Monday. Happy drinkening. vombatidae answered in Alcohol 9 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Try the Crescent. It's a karaoke bar but if you hate that it doesn't start till 9, so you could get trashed first and then leave. Drinks are pretty cheap and if you tip your server decently they are exceptionally strong. It's a dive but in a fun way, not a might-get-shanked-in-the-bathroom way like some of the cheaper downtown spots. Warning--it gets extremely crowded late Fri/Sat nights, and sometimes an excessively fratty crowd will amass. As a bonus, you might get to see Star, a truly Wagnerian individual with a walker who screams the most righteous, profanity laden version of "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman that I have ever heard ("Gimme a m*therf*kin' good reason, ya c*cksucker, and I'll turn this sh*t arooooound") Side note: Crescent is very gay friendly, so if that's a problem, don't go (of course, they are also very straight-friendly, etc. It's pretty much a whole mess of everyone over there.)

  0 1 Best value will be found wandering between the liquor store and grocery store with a brown paper bag; just be nice to people and don't litter. Happy birthday... may your fortunes improve this next year. mister_fusspot answered in Alcohol 10 months ago | Report 1 comment by Black Beetles in Amber… 1 0 Eh, a flask isn't too terrible of a suggestion.
