Skillet and Tilth's Happy Hour; Smith's Canada Day Party

HAPPY HOURS— Skillet and Tilth now have happy hour. Skillet's "Golden Hour" runs daily from 3 to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to close at its Ballard and Capitol Hill locations; Tilth's happy hour stats up tomorrow, running daily from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. with a menu that changes monthly. And pregnant ladies: A reminder that in addition to empanadas and booze, La Bodega serves tropical virgin drinks, including Guava No-jitos and Morir Sonandoas, a Dominican drink that tastes like a creamsicle.

CAPITOL HILL— Smith's fifth annual Canada Day Bash happens July 1. Smoked maple-cured brisket and poutine are on the menu, with cinnamon whiskey shots for $6. Plus, a Canadian tuxedo contest. [EaterWire]

'BUCKSWIRE— Beginning next week, Starbucks will raise drink prices between around 10 to 15 cents. The increase will affect many drinks on the menu; the company says that the price hike is solely linked to the rising cost of Arabica coffee and not its new tuition program. [-EN-]
