1. 13 Coins Seattle - Closes at 11pm
Savor upscale diner classics and enjoy retro vibes on a romantic weekend dinner trip.
A Seattle institution since 1967, 13 Coins Seattle is a popular local restaurant, pub, and gathering place, equally packed for its famous breakfast omelets as for late night drinks and food after the theater or when everything else is closed. The cozy atmosphere, comfortable and spacious booths, and high-backed captain’s chairs around the large bar and open kitchen make 13 Coins a place for a company lunch, family gatherings, or a friends’ night out. The menu is large and diverse and has something for everyone. Don’t miss their famous Hangtown Fry with oysters, bacon, green peppers, onions, and eggs frittata-style. There is live music occasionally. Their second location is at Seattle–Tacoma Airport.

If you think that people’s tastes have changed since Beth's Cafe opened in 1954 near Green Lake, then you may be surprised by the line of people outside of this Seattle icon, even on a Sunday morning. A greasy spoon in the best sense of the word, Beth’s is a true temple to blue collar workers’ food – massive plates with delicious, homemade comfort food. The place is basic – no frills, no unnecessary decor – but the biscuits, breads, muffins, and corned beef hash are made in-house and the portions are so huge that you have to come really hungry or work in construction. Their famous 12-egg omelets are served in a pizza pan and the coffee keeps coming without you asking for it. It is great place to come after a night on the town, hangover or not, they are open 24 hours a day.

3. Lost Lake Cafe & Lounge
Eat comfort food and sip cocktails on an exciting late-night trip.
For a 24-hour diner, Lost Lake Cafe & Lounge is surprisingly upscale. The charming, colorful mid-century decor, paintings on the walls, bright light, and tables on the sidewalk make Lost Lake attractive to all sorts of clientele, from young and hip to tired truckers after a long shift. One of the few places on Capitol Hill open 24 hours, Lost Lake is very popular, but the food they serve also has a lot to do with it. They offer breakfast 24 hours a day and what they consider breakfast food covers just about everything. Some outstanding delights include the Lost Lake French Toast, which includes Bailey’s, Frangelico, Kahlua, and Grand Marnier. The lunch menu is equally rich and they offer a nice range of local craft beers and cocktails to go with it.
