Any good places downtown for Happy Hour!

When I went to PAX in Bellevue I discovered this time honored American Tradition at our Hotel's Bar. It was like $1 for a beer and $1.50 for a Highball. Being Canadian and a Bartender up here, I was amazed at this Tradition, but last year our hotel just had a restaurant in it that did not up hold the Practice. Does anyone know of a place close to the Convention Center that has some good Happy Hour specials?

    Taphouse has a happy hour, but it's not nearly as cheap as that. $8-$10 beers discounted to $5 or so. Their appetizers are delicious.

    The Hilton had a decent happy hour last year. Drinks were something like $3.50, but they were poured heavy and used mid-shelf liquor (Beefeater for gin). I think their appetizers were also discounted, but we didn't try any.

    The Red Robins around here are... sub par. I only go there for their milkshakes and bottomless fries.

    The Triple Door has the best happy hour in the downtown area. There isn't a huge selection of drinks, it is select mixed drinks and 2-3 types of beer, but it is the cheapest happy hour ever at $3/drink (for the good stuff). They also have amazingly good appetizer-size food for $3-5.

    There was some place that was in the bottom floor of the Red Lion.. I can not recall the name right now... but had two happy 'hours' a day with a whole pile of discounted appetizers. Was pretty darn good.
