"Vietnamese restaurant Ba Bar serves happy hour at its original Capitol Hill restaurant from 1 to 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. to midnight daily, and from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday at the South Lake Union and the U Village locations. The restaurant knocks a few bucks off cocktails, and serves up discounted snacks like crispy imperial rolls and the excellent Sài Gòn wings." - Harry Cheadle
"This Vietnamese spot’s Central District location always comes in handy for a comforting stay-awhile lunch—and you can do the same thing at U-Vill. Expect the same sticky fish sauce caramel wings, blistered imperial rolls, and restorative phở as the original. But it's not as fun—just slightly more spacious and in closer proximity to several gallons of Aesop soap." - Aimee Rizzo

"Grab a Botanist & Tonic to go with the crispy imperial rolls plus garlic crab noodles or five spice-rubbed duck supreme, at the U-Village location of Ba Bar. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Capacity: 50 Ba Bar is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town—and at the University District location, you can reserve the back room for up to 50 people. There’s a $2,000 food and drink minimum for dinner on weekends, and the price is slightly less than that ($1,500) if you book lunch or a weekday." - Aimee Rizzo
