FWIW, I am very well into my fifth decade and LOVE the happy hour at Sampan. I've never felt out of place there and have been treated royally. (OK, maybe they laugh at me behind my back after I leave, but the experience is still a great one! ;-)

Aha, so you're the other old head I see there at happy hour! ;-)

[60s Girl]

That would be me! :-)

I like Sampan, too; but I try to go earlier in the week, as it does get very crowded on Thursdays and Fridays. Two people can leave pretty stuffed for about $50 or so (including plenty of drinks).

There's also The Cooperage--they have a $5 menu with several sandwiches and apps. Fridays get pretty busy, but you can usually get a seat at the bar, unless an entire office is in there having happy hour.

Dandelion has a decent selection of snacks on special for happy hour but for my money, buck a shuck oysters is the best happy hour food special.

Sampan's HH bar food was too salty for my taste. And the place was very noisy and the age range skewed young. (Not surprising as it was a Friday.)

McCormick and Schmick's HH food is well known, well priced, and highly reputed. If you have no objection to chains, take a look at the menu online:

PS It's a PDF which is why I had to send you a link. The menu is updated daily. ~C.

Thanks for the M&S menu, it looks like some good deals on there. Too bad it ends at 6pm. To OP, I think you said on another thread you don't drink, there is a $3.50 drink minimum shown on the M&S HH menu.
