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.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Lunch at Seattle's oldest bar | Jules Maes Saloon

 

Jules Maes is the oldest Saloon in Seattle. They've been slinging drinks and serving yummy eats since 1888. 


I've walked by Jules Maes historic building countless times over the years, always curious about the interior of this Georgetown bar. Since our sons are back in school, my husband and I decided to check them out for lunch. The bar is dark, and its walls are covered in artifacts from the past. The saloon gives off an "old timey" vibe. We grabbed a table by the window, so I could get that gorgeous natural light for my food photos, since it was only mid-day. 

I started with a Whiskey Sour and my husband had one of their specialty drinks, something fruity and blue. I liked my drink a lot and it was made just right. The menu at Jules Maes is your typical bar food, but the dishes are all taken up a notch. The food is made from scratch, and you can taste the quality. We shared the Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich. This dish has chicken thigh, goat cheese, bourbon syrup, buffalo sauce, all sandwiched between two homemade waffles. It also came with really fresh and perfectly fried Tator tots.  

The flavors of the sandwich were spot on. We loved the creaminess of the goat cheese with the spice of the buffalo sauce. The chicken was full of flavor and juicy. The only thing we didn't love was the waffles got a little soggy from the buffalo sauce. This was a pretty big sandwich, so I'm glad we shared. The other items look tasty on the menu, too. I'm sure this won't be our last visit to Jules Maes.
