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.

Celebrating National Beer Day at Old Stove Brewing

 

A perfect day for a beer! A hoppy Guava IPA from Old Stove Brewing. 


Since today is National Beer Day and the weather is actually warm and sunny for April, I decided to go grab lunch and a beer at Old Stove Brewing. They're located on Western Ave at Pike Place Market's MarketFront. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with gorgeous scenic views of Elliot Bay, The Seattle Great Wheel, and the Olympic Mountains. The sun felt so good as we sipped our drinks and dug into our lunch. I had a Guava IPA which tasted fruity and hoppy. My husband had a cocktail, something peachy and delicious. 

We shared a large Ceasar Salad and the Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese. The salad was so fresh and had anchovies in the dressing, which we really enjoyed. The pretzel bites hit the spot and tasted almost too good dipped in the cheese. We soaked up the nice views while we ate, and the sun felt amazing! I really recommend this spot, especially right before or after wandering around Pike Place Market!
