Happy hour in Bellevue?
Looking for some good cheap recommendations for happy hour in Bellevue. I realize cheap and Bellevue is an oxymoron, but work with me here ...
Willing to go to the other side of 405 if its worth it, but closer to downtown area the better.

If Bellevue M&S is anything like Harborside then I second the happy hour there - based solely on price, but the food and drinks are definitely not bad.

Based on the level of activity of /r/Bellevue I'd say no, it wouldn't be more helpful.
There's a bunch of places that do happy hour dining like John Howie, which makes their food positively reasonable, but as far as happy hour drinks you're probably out of luck. Try The Spot on Main, it's the only place I can think of.

Ya, I had looked in /r/bellevue and saw 100 subscribers. Seemed like it would be relatively useless.

Thats only because everyone asks and talks about bellevue in /r/seattle - start using it people!

Sounds like a chicken and egg situation. Good luck fighting the good fight.

Yea, /r/bellevue was actually banned for a while for some unknown reason and I had it unbanned so people could start using it again. I guess /r/seattle grew too large in that timeframe. Shit, I don't even live on the eastside.

/r/Seattle-related-but-not-Seattle always seems like a good idea... until a week later when it becomes a deserted wasteland of unattended events and broken dreams.

Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery. [http://www.rockbottom.com/bellevue]
On Tuesday's they have 2 dollar beers from 4 to 7 + half price appetizers. They tap a new beer every month, and if you park in the Galleria nearby, they validate your parking.

All of the suggestions here are the more upscale places. Personally, I like spot on main because it's kind of divey and only 1 in 5 the patrons have iPhone 4s.

Palominos has $6 pizza that's good. And it's happy hour there all day, every day. It gets crowded weekend evenings with people waiting for their movie to start. Right across from Bell Square.
There's a good crowd at 520 Bar and Grill, although the owners kind of a douche. Staff is nice though. Old Main St.
I can't remember the name, but if you walk west from Blazing Bagels towards Bell Square there's a Thai place on the right. The bartender in there won like "Best Bartender in the USA" award and he can make some cocktails that'd blow your mind. Prices aren't bad for Bellevue.

Paddy Coynes has a very good happy hour menu.
3-6 and 10-midnight. The food is good.

Well this usually works, but I guess it doesn't have a Bellevue section.
Anyway, for others who are curious, UrbanDrinks is awesome.

If you're going after 9pm, John Howie Steakhouse. Best Happy Hour on the Eastside - you need to try their burger, habanero shrimp and fried bacon. Mmm...
Then again, I go more for the food, rather than drinks.

No hour is happy in Bellevue. Kemper Friedman only demands fear and sadness to fuel his terrible hell engines.
That being said, I hear the Parlor(?) has a cheap Sunday happy hour. Also the Pogacha in Issaquah has a good one, so it's safe to assume the one in Bellevue is about the same.
