Region: Downtown in Pike Place Market.

Description: A cozy underground cabaret whose lurid red
walls, costumed waitstaff, and Toulouse-Lautrec–style murals
evoke a 1900s-Parisian-dance-hall theme.

Evidence suggesting all of Seattle’s ghosts are bar-haunting
alcoholics
: Like the Rendezvous, the Can Can has experienced its
share of supernatural activity, such as spontaneously lit candles,
mysteriously overturned silverware trays, and unprompted scraping
sounds.

Happy hours: Tues–Sun, 4:30–6:30 pm.

Happy-hour drink specials: $3 well drinks, $3 draft beer
(Peroni, Hale’s Troll Porter, Kölsch, others), $4 wine, and $5
specialty cocktails (such as the Ringmaster, which consists of
apricot-infused rye whiskey, Averna, and peach bitters).

Happy-hour food specials: $3.99 appetizers, including
three-cheese macaroni or chicken skewers in honey-mustard sauce.
