Description: While Shadowland is located in West Seattle, the
bar’s oddly sparse decor and rows of identical furniture units simulate
a Belltown-lounge atmosphere.
Why Elvis would have eaten here: The happy-hour food menu
features, among other things, his $6 namesake—the Elvis sandwich,
consisting of peanut butter, banana, and bacon on toasted rye.
Why Elvis would not have drunk here: Continually grieving the
loss of his mother, Elvis hated beer (Gladys died of cirrhosis);
according to David Adler’s The Life and Cuisine of Elvis, even
the sight of a beer can or bottle made him uncomfortable.
Happy hours: Daily 4–6 pm and 10 pm–midnight.
Happy-hour drink specials: $2 rotating tap (Guinness, Stella,
more), $1 off bottles (including Leffe and Zatec), $6 select glasses of
wine, and $4 rotating mixed drinks (Captain Cokes or Tanqueray and
tonics).
