You may recall that back in October, I spoke to Melinda Sontgerath, owner of the Hardware Store on Vashon Island, about her plans to open 50 North, a restaurant and event space just across the street from the University Village.

Well it’s open, has been since New Year’s Eve. If you hit it between the hours of 4 and 6pm you can catch a happy hour menu with $5 appetizers and drink specials. Among those $5 apps: gluten-free fish and chips and corn beef sliders with apple-pumpkin hash. Among those specials: all wines by the glass are discounted to $6.

Here’s the website.
