So I'm back in town for a while and finally caught up on real life stuff now back to happy hour reviews.
A while back I heard that Denunzio's down in Pioneer Square had happy hour. I went with a friend and we walk in and ask and are told they did not have happy hour. As we begin to walk back up the stairs to leave Lugigi tells us that for us there will be happy hour!
$4.00 wines red or white and $4.00 plate of food, consisting of pasta, chicken, bruchetta, sausage, polenta and I can't remember the other one. We tried some pasta, bruchetta and the polenta, if you don't like bell peppers let them know because every dish was smothered in them but the food was ok.
The place is in the basement of a building and kind of has a fun house look and feel to it, it's not some place I'd go again for happy hour unless I needed a good laugh, Lugigi is one funny man and he can sure turn a shitty day into a not so shitty day just by talking to you.
Over all I'd give Denunzio's a 2.5 cheers our of 5, the food nor the wine did much for me and I have no idea what their real happy hour days/times are.

Crimson C in Pioneer Square
Crimson C is a nice place to stop in before an M's game for happy hour or during the ArtWalk to take a breather from all the art.
They have happy hour Monday through Friday from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, one of the longest happy hours around town.
The food now is kind of a Thai fusion, and not that but and it's cheap, they offer $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 plates with a nice variety and even something for the vegetarian if you have one.
Like their food they offer $2.00, $3.00 and $4.00 drink specials, beer, well and wine, again a little something for everyone.
What I like most about Crimson C are their comfy chairs and couches in the front of the bar, you can just sink into them and take a load off. But be careful they are so comfy if you have one too many drinks you might start dozing off. The rest of the decor is pretty nice I love the mirrors on the brick walls and red wood walls really warm the place up. And on a plus the ladies room was clean and fully stocked even at the end of happy hour.
Over all I'd give Crimson C a 4.0 cheers our of 5.

Mitchelli Trattoria in Pioneer Square
Mitchelli Trattoria use to be what I considered a hidden gem of a happy hour spot in Pioneer Square unfortunately things have changed over the years. The martinis (classis, gibson, dirty or fruity) are now half the size they once were, use to be served in martini glasses now served in what appears to be a cordial glass and their prices went from $2.75 to $3.25. When you consider it would take two drinks to make a normal martini you'd be paying $6.50 which is not a very happy hour special to me. $3.25 for a normal sized martini at happy hour is a good deal, half the size not so good.
They still have their $1.00 pizzas which are the size of a bread plate, so yes they are small but they are worth the buck you pay and you are offered a few options: Italian cheese, margherita, BBQ chicken and pepperoni. I've had the cheese and marghertia and have enjoyed both. Besides the $1.00 pizza they also offer the following for a $1.95: calamari fritti, Caesar salad and a baked artichoke-spinach dip, the calamari and salad are both good deals.
If you don't like martinis they also have beer and wine for $3.25 a glass but the wine isn't that great and they only offer the beer special on one of their drafts which never seems to be one I like.
Over all I'd rate Mitchell's 3.0 out of 5 cheers, the do have both food and drinks specials and free Wi-Fi access if you need it. Oh I guess I should mention their happy hour only runs Monday through Friday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
