This month's Slog Happy is THIS THURSDAY at King's in Ballard (5225 Ballard Ave NW—you can get to it on the 18 or 44 bus routes). Slog Happy doesn't officially start until 6 pm, but their happy hour kicks off at 5 pm and includes $5.50 sliders, $2 pints of Hamm's ($6 pitchers), and $3 wells until 7 pm.

Right now, King's also has a three-star rating in our reader reviews!

Hayleyra says: "OK, I love onion rings but King's has the best I've ever had. Ever. I'm serious. You must have them."

Hollywood says: "Seriously...I am not looking to go to a bar and have 18 kinds of martinis...I want a good selection of beer and some stiff drinks...Kings has both. These guys make awesome burgers. This is a place to listen to good tunes and have some drinks with friends, and the back bar is the best kept secret in town on a sunny day (okay it's Seattle, any dry day will do)."

And Ronan says: "I've taken a lot of friends to King's, and we all love it. The burgers are great (the sliders are damn tasty) while the selection of beers on tap affords a great variety."

See you Thursday at 6 pm!

(And for those looking for something to do afterwards, Throw Me the Statue is playing the Tractor that night at part of the Noise for the Needy festival. That's just down the street from Kings!)
