Real class starts with amazing architecture and it doesn't get any better in Spokane than the Davenport Hotel. A stunning stained glass ceiling greets you just inside The Peacock Room, a superb lounge. Marble and gilt accent the granite tables, where you can relax in upholstered arm chairs or perch on the leather pub stools around the bar. The Peacock Room features a daily drink special and today happened to be their frothy and fabulous Key Lime Martini. Stoli Vanil vodka is mixed with sweet and sour, pineapple and whipped cream to give the drink a fluffy, dessert-like mouth feel. Happy hour is 4 - 6 p.m. daily when appetizers feature reduced pricing. The Cougar Gold Cheese Dip is the most popular for a reason. Hot melted cheese meets roasted garlic, shallots, pepperoncini and olives served with toasted bread - scrumptious! Or try the Fresh Dungeness Crab Cakes with special house sauce - I like the cakes extra crispy. Date night is every Wednesday when you can enjoy an appetizer, a choice of four entrees and a dessert for $24.95. The Peacock Room is tasteful and elegant, yet still accessible. Where else can you get Foie Gras at the bar? The Peacock Room is inside the Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane at 10 South Post Street.
Press sits snugly inside the space next to Qdoba and Quiznos on Grand across from Sacred Heart Hospital. Fresh "pressed" juice is what makes their martinis so special - in fact the lemon drop is one of my favorites in the city. The lemons are fresh squeezed, and a dash of fresh orange juice gives this traditionally tart martini a sweeter side. The sleek stainless and black lacquered look belies the neighborhood feel. Press is a place where hospital interns watch the Zags play and girlfriends meet for an upscale cocktail. Greg the bartender makes a delicious drink and doubles as a server extraordinaire. Happy hour is 3 - 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. - 2 a.m. daily with $4 well drinks (get the fresh juice mixer), and $4 house wine. Some beers are always just $2 including Moose Drool, Trout Slayer, Fat Tire and Dales' Pale Ale. Live music by Dan Conrad Thursday nights starting at 8 p.m., and Saturday night features a mix of jazz, classical guitar and singer songwriters from 8 - 10 p.m. Press opens early Sunday at 11 a.m. starring a Bloody Mary Bar - choose your own spices and garnishes ranging from artichokes hearts to prawns, pickles and pineapples. Prepare to party Sunday nights (25% discount for service industry) with a DJ starting at 10 p.m. Press is situated at 909 S. Grand Boulevard in Spokane.
This was a stop that I will be making again in the very near future. Make your way to the lounge and find that it is probably busy, noisy, and everyone will be in a very good mood. Why? Discounted drinks and buy one, get one free appetizers, of course! Tonight I had the nachos, a Greek appetizer plate, and two beers for under $20. The best part for me? The elusive Copperhead Ale by Red Hook is on tap here! Its been so long. Well, hello%u2026
So if you like great wine and great food you should actually head down to Niko's and see what is happening. They have one of the best happy hours now and their food is still great. Check it out.

Happy Spokane Bar Parties
Hello Everyone,
Happy Spokane has a unique opportunity for bar owners. We like to have what we call a HappySpokane.com Bar Party. What we do is come to your establishment, usually on an off-night, and help promote a party. There will be drink and food specials and prize drawings. We will be Twittering, Facebooking, Emailing and telling everyone to come up for this event. Very minimal cost with a great potential of getting folks in the door who may not otherwise visit. Email us today to book your party.
I can tell you one thing. PJ's has a great happy hour. My buddies and I went up there on Tuesday and found out that they have $1.50 well drinks and you can double it up and make it tall for $2.00. I know! Totally crazy. They have music and lots of pool tables and pretty much everyone is super nice. This is a great local bar that is a great place to have a drink with your friends.
* Although we would love it if every bar would update their happy hours, it is not always the case. Please make sure, before you head out, that the content contained in HappySpokane.com is correct. We cannot be held responsible if the bar has changed their happy hours without notifying us. If you find that a happy hour is incorrect on our site please fill out our contact form and let us know. We will update it as soon as possible. - Happy Spokane Staff
