Happy Hour Heaven in Everett

You don't have to travel far to find a great deal on dinner.

When Sunday hit and we planned to go on our bike ride, I was pooped. It had been a long weekend and I just needed a break.

So, we took one of our readers' suggestions and checked out The Irishmen in Everett. It's always helpful when you hear about a place by word of mouth. It just makes you feel like it's not such a big risk to try a place out.

We both were in the mood for some down to earth dining and relaxation. Driving through downtown Everett, it was like a ghost town. Not many people were out and about, despite the warm weather. I kinda liked that though.

I even asked Hubby if The Irishmen was open because it seemed so quiet and the door was closed.

"Well, there's only one way to find out," Hubby said, reaching for the door.

As we walked in, it was clear the place was open. TV screens were broadcasting the Lions and 49'ers game and people were scattered throughout the surprisingly spacious bar.

"Ooh. I like this place," Hubby made a dash for two tables pushed together in the center of the restaurant.

I was thinking he would go for the cute little romantic table in the corner, away from everything.

"Okay, we can sit here if you want." I hopped up on the bar stool seat next to him. Just as I sat down, I realized why Hubby picked the spot he did.
