Support Small Business Series
The Swantown Inn is a small Mom and Pop, family owned business. In this series of blog posts we want to highlight other small businesses. Some we frequent often, some less so, but if there is a choice between a chain and a local option we almost always go for the local.
Cove, Cynara, Chelsea Farms
Cove Olympia features a Happy Hour menu Monday – Friday Noon – 5pm, & 8pm – 10pm and all day Sunday making it a great spot for lunch or late night or a family Sunday meal. They feature a larger menu of $6, $8, and $10 items. Its priced so you can try a number of items, especially since its so hard to decide. When we dropped in we had the Single Truffle Burger w/Fries, cup of King Chowder, and Half Steamers. They were all delicious without breaking the bank.
Cynara features an amazing, though limited Happy Hour menu daily from 3:30pm – 5:30pm in the bar. They have three items that are $5, and two that are $7 with a drink purchase. We had the Grilled Onion Burgers with fries, its hard to beat that at $5.
Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar has a Happy Hour menu Monday – Friday 4:00pm – 5:30pm, Saturday & Sunday 3:00 – 4:30pm. When we went, we sat at the bar without a reservation and had a great meal featuring fresh and baked oysters, fish and chips, clam chowder, garlic bread, and a great conversation with the fresh oyster chef.
There is no wrong choice between these three. We happened to end up at these because of timing and what we had going on in our day. We did say that we needed to take advantage of these happy hours more often. We like trying new, and new to us restaurants and being able to try different dishes and support our fellow business owners.
