Tervelli Ultralounge 

On the rare sunny day this unseasonable summer, you can expect to wait at least 20 minutes to be seated on the patio at Kirkland's popular waterfront eatery Olive You. During happy hour, the cute and charming Mediterranean restaurant serves $3 beer and $5 house wine, as well as half-price appetizers like garlic-feta fries and pita bread with five (!) types of hummus. But what many patrons fail to realize is that the restaurant's adjacent room, Tervelli Ultralounge, offers the same deals, typically sans the crowd and wait. It’s cozier, too: Chandeliers and a fireplace provide a warm glow; and the couches are covered with a generous supply of throw pillows. So skip the patio, get comfy in the lounge, and be careful not to spill—red wine pairs terribly with suede. ERIKA HOBART
