Top Vegan-Friendly Happy Hours In Seattle

The struggle is real: Going out for Happy Hour in Seattle with friends, and being consistently disappointed by the lack of substantial vegan food options. REALLY? What year is it?

Sorry, but... we just can't eat any more house olives and greasy french fries!

No wonder our friends think we are malnourished...

And modifying every other non-vegan happy hour plate to death is a pain for everyone involved. And it usually doesn't arrive as expected after all the fuss.

What's a hungry vegan to do? We can't JUST drink cocktails and not eat, because we all know what happens next...

Headaches. Headaches are what happens next.

Fortunately, there are some kick-ass restaurants where you can enjoy a very vegan-friendly happy hour in Seattle!

So let's get right to it.

Life On Mars was voted "Best New Bar" by Seattle Magazine in 2019, and for good reason.

Well, a few good reasons. One of those is Happy Hour. This Seattle bar and restaurant only serves vegan food, and their Happy Hour specials are de-freakin-lish. Burger & Beer for $10; Cauliflower Wings with four sauce choices served with vegan ranch or bleu cheese; Phish Tacos, and Disco Fries all discounted and dang delicious.

Plus, $10 cocktails, $10 beer and a shot, and $10 NA cocktails.

Their Vinyl Happy Hour, where customers choose the records to spin, pairs well with any dish.
