The brewing cooperative Flying Bike has announced it will open a bricks-and-mortar location in Greenwood. After a year of searching, the group’s board of directors is settling down and hoping to open its doors in early 2015.

The Ballard Beer Company will be opening any day now, and when it does, you’ll be able to knock back several pints from local breweries without leaving your bar stool. The watering hole will dedicate several of its 15 taps to beers from neighborhood breweries.

Wine Enthusiast has released its picks for America’s 100 best restaurants for wine; Canlis and Wild Ginger made the cut for Seattle. Elsewhere in Washington, Walla Walla’s The Marc and Woodinville’s The Herbfarm also made the list.

Skillet has launched a happy hour at its Ballard and Capitol Hill restaurants. The “Golden Hour” menu is available daily 3–6 p.m. and 10 p.m.–close, and features “re-imagined Skillet favorites” like a smoked-lamb corndog, new cocktails, and cold beer.

Happy hour is also new at Tilth, every day from 4:30–6:30 p.m. on the patio, at the counter, and in the sunroom. The menu consists of classics like duck burgers, Theo Chocolate ganache cake, and Skagit River Ranch steak tartare, plus monthly seasonal specials. A rotating drink menu currently includes a lavender daiquiri and a Pimm’s Cup. E
