Summer Happy Hour at Ray’s Boathouse

July 2, 2026

Summer evenings were made for waterfront dining, and there’s no better place to unwind than Happy Hour at Ray’s Boathouse. Whether you’re meeting coworkers after work, catching up with friends, or simply looking for Seattle’s best happy hour, Ray’s pairs fresh seafood, handcrafted drinks, and unbeatable Puget Sound views for the perfect summer tradition.

Join us in our 1st floor Boathouse and enjoy Happy Hour in our air-conditioned dining room or on our breezy outdoor deck overlooking Shilshole Bay. With sparkling water views, passing boats, and stunning sunsets, it’s everything you love about summer at your favorite Seattle restaurant.

Our Happy Hour menu features guest favorites made with the same quality ingredients Ray’s is known for. Start with a cup of Ray’s Pacific Northwest Chowder, snack on Penn Cove Mussels or Pacific Manila Clams served with fresh baguette, or indulge in crispy Fried Calamari with aioli. Pair your bites with a classic Daiquiri, an Old Fashioned, a refreshing glass of rosé, or a local beer for the perfect waterfront pairing. Our menu changes seasonally, so there’s always something new to discover.

As one of Seattle’s most iconic waterfront restaurants, Ray’s has been bringing people together over exceptional seafood and unforgettable views for decades. Whether you’re stopping in before dinner, celebrating the end of the workday, or making Happy Hour your evening destination, you’ll find the perfect seat waiting for you.
