The iconic Paley’s Place may be a little pricey for a casual dinner, but during happy hour you can find the Paley’s cheddar-topped burger for just $7. It’s simple but excellent, with cheddar and grilled onions, served on a delicate poppy-seed brioche bun, with optional bacon for $1 more. It’s served with a side of pickled veggies and can be found Monday to Thursday, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and Friday to Sunday, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. 

Everyday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at this Mediterranean spot in Northwest, the Painted Hills burger with white cheddar, bacon, crispy onions, and barbecue sauce is $9, and that includes a side of pomme frites. Grab a glass of house wine for $5 or a margarita for $6 to go with it. 

The Bluehour burger is a stalwart made from ground steak trimmings and topped with whiskey smoked cheddar and an indulgent foie gras aioli. It's $8 at happy hour, from 4 to 6:30 p.m., on Monday through Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday, from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. 

Vitaly Paley has a way with burgers, so he’s getting a second spot on the map. The flat-top burger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, bread and butter pickles, cheddar, and dill mayo is only six bucks for happy hour. Belly up to the bar for it from 2 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 3 to 6 p.m., on the weekend. 

The happy hour menu is extensive here, and has three $6 burger options: the miyako burger with avocado, red jalapeno, and teriyaki; the Saucebox burger with Tillamook cheese, daikon slaw, and peppered bacon; and “The Berg” burger, with Thai curry aioli, togarashi, grilled pineapple, and chicharones. Maybe just bring some friends and get all three, Tuesday through Friday, from 4:30 from 6:30 p.m., and on Saturday, 5 to 6 p.m. 

The juicy, flavorful Clarklewis burger is grilled over oak as rare as you like it, and topped with pickled red onions, tender lettuce, and mustard aioli on a brioche bun for $7. Add a farm egg, white cheddar, or pork belly for $1 to $2 more. Happy hour is 4:40 to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, but you'll have to order the burger before 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. 

Trifecta's epic double-patty cheeseburger, oozing with pimento cheese on a housemade brioche bun, is one of the best burgers in town. And at happy hour it's five bucks off, bringing it to $10. That makes it the most pricey burger on this map, but it’s worth it. Happy hour here runs Monday to Thursday, from 5 to 6 p.m.; Friday and Sunday, from 4 to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays from 4 to 5 p.m.

Nate Tilden’s Bar Casa Vale offers a fine range of wine, sherries, and Spanish drinking snacks, and the Spanish-inspired burger, at $7 during happy hour (and only during happy hour), is another reason to make the trip. It’s topped with mahón cheese, shredded lettuce, and a romesco sauce that offers a slightly smoky kick to the burger. Get in here from 5 to 6 p.m., or after 10 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. 

The Jersey Burger at Rue isn’t technically a hamburger, as it’s a country pork pate rather than ground chuck. Still, topped with American cheese and special sauce, served on a potato bun, and wrapped in tinfoil, it’s somewhere between a fancy ham sandwich and an elevated fast-food burger, and it’s delicious. It’s just $7 during happy hour, served 5 to 6 p.m. and 9 to 11 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday; 4 to 6 p.m. and 10 until midnight, on Friday and Saturday; and 4 to 6 p.m. and 9 to 11 p.m., on Sundays. 

The menu at Cafe Castagna has taken a Middle Eastern slant (again), but the legendary burger is still there for the long haul. At happy hour (Tuesday through Friday, from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to close), you can snag it for only $6, with swiss or cheddar on a seeded, toasted bun. You can also find it on the Sunday Happy Hour, from 5 to 9 p.m., each week. 

Happy hour here is Monday through Friday, from 3 to 6 p.m. and Sunday through Thursday, from midnight to 2:30 a.m. At those times you can find a six-ounce Columbia River Reserve burger, with kimchi, green kale slaw, and a wasabi mayo on a Grand Central brioche bun for just $6. 

There are a number of burgers on the Killer Burger franchise’s “crazy hour” that are $2 cheaper, but there’s one vital reason to go here: the famous peanut-butter-pickle-bacon burger. It’s just $7.95 Monday through Friday, from 2 to 5 p.m., and it comes with a basket of fries to assure you hit your weekly sodium intake. Wash it down with $1 sodas. 

Yes, it used to cost $2.95, but it still almost sounds like a joke when you hear the happy hour cheeseburger “with all the fixings” at this iconic steakhouse is only $3.95 during happy hour at the bar. Happy hour runs from 2 to 6:30 p.m. and again from 8:30 p.m. to close, seven days a week. Grab a burger and hit the green.
