Come early and catch the start of Happy Hour... Ocho, is moderately priced, good music, small and intimate, great beer selection, eclectic liquor selection, and a bar staff that makes wonderful drinks.  The food is adventurous, but not over the top as to not relate to the common pallet. It is located on the corner of 24th and Market, which allows it to have the longest sun exposure than any other bar in Ballard.  They also have just recently redone their outdoor seating to accompany more people comfortably.
