"Bellevue doesn’t have any true rooftop bars to speak of, but Lincoln Square’s Living Room Bar is just about the closest you’ll get. The focus here is on “the Porch,” a huge outdoor seating area with a fireplace, swing chairs, and elevated views of downtown Bellevue. But what many don’t know is that this place happens to have one of the best happy hours in the entire Seattle metro area. Come for the views between 3 and 5 p.m. and stay for the generous pours of wine (there are several choices on happy hour special), discounted well drinks, and truffle fries." - Brianna Gunter
