Description: Simultaneously upscale and low-key, Sonya’s
comprises a windowy front lounge and a deep, dark back bar.

Location: Belltown, where Sonya’s rests quietly next to the
most haunted building in Seattle.

About that: Once upon a time, the unoccupied space
immediately adjacent to Sonya’s was a mortuary, and according to lore,
it’s still swirling with paranormal activity—ghostly figures,
dissolving walls, etc.

Good news for the skittish: The closest thing Sonya’s has
experienced to paranormal spillover is a single incident from 2007,
when a bottle is said to have supernaturally launched itself from a
counter to the floor.

Happy hours: Mon–Fri 3–6 pm.

Happy-hour drink specials: $1 off all alcohol drinks.

Happy-hour food specials: Selections from a $2.99–$5.99
menu (including sweet-potato fries and a barbecue pork sandwich).
