Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos. Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying. My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.

Come for the nice aesthetics but stay for the stiff happy hour drinks.

For food in an upscale setting on the eastside, try Earls Kitchen and Bar in Bellevue. Especially notable is their daily happy hour from 3 to 6 that is available throughout the dining room and bar. If you have kids, that's a win. We were able to get deals on our drinks and our sushi. Speaking of drinks, the cocktails were stiff, especially the Old Fashioned. Besides the Tuna Roll and the Dynamite Roll, we also ordered fries and the Italian Bread which came with olive oil for dipping. My husband loves his greens, so he alos had a side salad. I especially liked the fireplace and the wall of wine bottles. The servers and hosts were friendly and gave us fast service.
