Le Coin’s owners branched out into Ballard with this Champagne bar that also has a streetside window where you can get tacos and sometimes other stuff. So there’s a lot going on here! But let’s focus on what’s important: $2 oysters. From 3 to 5 p.m. on days when the Garrison is open (Thursdays through Mondays), a huge chunk of the seafood-focused menu is half off, which means that the oysters — big chonky Treasure Cove lads — are just two bucks. To wash that down, try a $10 cocktail or a glass of bubbles.

On the surface this is a sports-y wing place, but the sauce here has layers, it’s tangy but also has notes of cumin and even a bit of sweetness. We’d be happy to pay full price every time we’re in West Seattle, but on weekdays from 3 to 5 p.m. (and all day Mondays) a half-dozen wings are just $9, and you can get a burger plus a wing order for $14. (Is there anything that makes you prouder to be an American than the idea that wings can be a side?)

This meat-driven destination steakhouse in Greenwood offers one of the most tantalizing happy hours in town from 4 to 5:30 p.m. daily. It’s the only time they offer their blue cheese butcher burger, a meal in itself and a steal at $10, and an even more enticing option when accompanied by an $8 Tom Collins or a few $5 beers.

This Wallingford Japanese grilled meat specialist has one of the last remaining oyster happy hours selling the bivalves for less than $2 a pop. From 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, oysters go for $1.75, baguette sandwiches cost $5, and the $6 drink menu includes draft beer, sake, and cocktails such as the Japanese 75 with yuzu.

Bar shmar we’re gonna treat Donna’s like a pasta restaurant. After all, it has chef Peaches (of the infamous Italian-American nightspot Vito’s), and it has dishes like creste di gallo with romesco and delectable little bits of sausage. Best of all, from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday all pasta is only $10... and if you’re more of a night person it’s $10 from 10 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday.

The Varchetta Brothers long ruled happy hour in Seattle (Barolo, List, Cinque Terre), and that remains the same at their U District classic, where the steep discounts run all day on Sunday and Monday, from 3 to 6 p.m. daily, plus for an hour in the evening (8 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday). The entire bar food menu is 50 percent off, bottles of the house red, white, and rosé are $28, and well drinks are $8 each, plus you can get a bottle of Veuve Clicquot for $65.

Vietnamese restaurant Ba Bar serves happy hour at its original Capitol Hill restaurant from 1 to 5 p.m. daily, and from 2 to 5 p.m. at the South Lake Union outpost (Monday through Saturday), and the U Village location (weekdays). The restaurant knocks a few bucks off cocktails, and serves up discounted snacks like crispy imperial rolls and the excellent Sài Gòn wings.
