Late Night Eats At PAX

Everyone!
Got into Seattle Wednesday night, well after all the restaurants downtown were closed up. That being said, my brother and I stumbled upon this place on Pike St right outside the convention center called Cyber Dogs. It's veggie hot dogs, but don't let that detract you, 'cause these things are AMAZING. Lots of different hot dogs to choose from, and they all come stuffed with a remarkable amount of deliciousness. These are fork and knife hot dogs, no doubt.
In any case, the owner happily served and entertained my brother and I until almost 3am, feeding us and talking to us. She told us she'd be open super late during PAX, so if you're starving for a bite around 2 in the morning, you seriously can't go wrong dropping by and grabbing a delicious dog.

The place has a funky local staff, a great bar-closing drunk crowd, and walls decorated with crayon drawings (usually from aforementioned drunks).
However, it's not within walking distance... you could take the 358 bus, but the last one heading back to downtown leaves around 12:37am... so that doesn't make for great late night experience. A cab ride from the convention center to Beth's probably is about $10 or so... or if you have a car it's super easy to find, check their site out. (It's right on Highway 99 which goes straight to downtown)

Can't say the food is fabulous, but they have a huge menu and it's certainly passable for 3AM fare!

Also, I talked with the owner guy of Taco Del Mar at lunch today while ringing up... they were busy so it was very hurried... but he was talking about how busy he was going to be this weekend and how "it goes until 3am!" I don't know if that means he's gonna be open all night this year... but it'd be smart of him if he was.
they are open till 2 and only accept cash. make sure to get the fries.
This would be more of a better choice for a quick late night bite!!
Aye, Capitol Hill is open very late, and there is everything from Thai Food to Indian.
However, if you have a car, I recommend just going north a couple exists to the University of Washington district where most resturaunts and bars are open till 2-4am (depending on if they serve alcohol or not).
But Dick's Drive-In on Capitol Hill is an oldie-but-goodie for late night foods
Strider's & Friends recommended places to dine!
Ok so I have been reading the forums and I see a few people talk about the eatery places closing around nine and the needing of a guide. So I'll tell you all what I know, this is to be passed on to the programming guide and to be printed and passed out if you staffers wish it. Razz
first off, to start the following places are INSIDE THE CONVENTION CENTER: star bucks, 2 subways, a pizzeria, and a taco del mar. also they serve pizza inside on carts ($5 for a personal) and drinks and chips.
There is a mini mart that's right next to the entrance of the convention center. They have a lot of quickie food and a good assortment of energy drinks/healthy drinks too. He's open till like 11pm or so. Rumor is he extends his hours if there is a good flow of customers coming in.
There is a McDonald's outside the convention center, about 2-3 blocks going left starting at game works. Decent food for when your in a tight pinch. Open till 10/11 pm I think. Also another one on the corner one block south of west lake mall, by the metro bus tunnel/Macy's.
Also two places I notice most new people miss. If you willing to pay 8 to 11 a plate. There's the cheesecake factory, really good Italian food, and of course awesome selection of cheesecake. (Note: cheesecake factory is RIGHT next to the convention center, cannot miss it!)
Also, there's a grill right inside game works, and their about 7-12 a plate, but their food is good, and their open till nearly 12 on the weekends (Friday included) and they have a nice bar to boot. (The bar is split off from the gaming floor/restaurant)
For those willing to travel a bit, there is a Dick's eatery near the Seattle center/P.S.C./space needle. The most cheap and BEST (IMO, don't quote me) to get burgers/fries/milkshakes Smile open till 2 AM, and way cheap! Their located 1-2 blocks from the space needle the/key arena
For those 21 and over there's this quaint little bar called 5 point that's across from the fisher plaza/ near the pacific science center. Their food is HUGE and they have a good selection of drinks and brews (in most cases) ((try the country fried steak, very yummy!))
Another common mistake I am seeing is that some people are forgetting there's a monorail at west lake mall, 2 blocks over that takes you to a BUNCH of eatery places, Seattle center!, though....they close around 10/11pm thou. So use it if you want lots of choices,
same with west lake mall (where the monorail begins) there's some good choices there too, including bubble tea! But the west lake area closes at 9/10 on weekends, so be careful Razz ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION , NEW THIS YEAR TO THE WESTLAKE MALL, P.F CHANGS AND A SUSHI TYPE PLACE RIGHT NEXT TO BOBCHINE xD (I must be slacking, cannot believe i forgot those! :O )
Lets see...there's a couple good pubs in pike place market, don't know what they really serve, but the one inside pike place market has a really good rating.
Also right across the street from the front of pike place market lies a johnny rockets, pretty good, just not cheap like dick's, but a better assortment of milkshakes.
There's an ivers on the waterfront (right near the ferry docks, forgot which pier number) their open I think till 10/11pm their prices are a bit crazy (since it be seafood) but it's a dine in and the red chowder is to die for Smile
There's also a red robins on the water front, right next to the victora clipper tours boat launch (on the pier, just like ivers), pretty good, but crowded at times. Prices are about $10 a plate
For those who want really good pizza (and unique!) try zeeks, right across from fisher place and near Seattle center. Their pizza is just awesome, and the prices are not too bad, they even have brews too. But it's considered an all ages eatery.
Also in the mall (pacific place, one block down from game works) that's almost right next to west lake lies a movie theater and 5 eatery's up top, they close at 9/10 pm. A fair warning though, all the places are awesome, but the prices are a tad high, so these places might be used for a good first date/hang out with friends? the following are inside: Johnny rockets/ todais (Really expensive, but all you can eat!!!) / some kind of Greek place/ a Mexican restaurant/ and a pub that servers American type food.
Rumor (needs to be confirmed) taco time 4-6 blocks north of the convention center, warning, may be a bit of a walk
GROCERY STORE: 4 blocks east on Madison and 8th (?) full assortment of food for those who choose to go green or non greesey
Subway south 3-4 blocks then take a left
And if you want quizno's....from where this subway is, I THINK go down another block and it's right next to a smoke shop.
Also there is a terreiaki shop (cheap!) almost right across from johnney rockets, just go south of the convention center about 3 blocks or so.
Lets see...there's a Fox Grill sports pub now open, just to south one block and take a right, past the nike store, I heard their good, their prices for drinks are a bit shady thou, so I hear.
Also, this was a vague suggestion, but if you just go north of the convention center, you'll find a slew of restaurant's there (to who posted this, if I could at least get some street names on this?)
Also for those who would like a small drink or two, there is a Washington state liquor shop on 3rd & Madison (not food, but for buddies who just wish to celebrate a little) (note: if I catch you holding room parties or getting too drunk in public, I'll get my boxing kangaroo to beat you one Razz also minor consumption is bad!)
Also another mini-mart two blocks south of macys, decent selection, but prices be a tad high for soda and such
Dragon fish cafe/restaurant : it's the place inside the paramount hotel, decent hours and rumored to be good for it's price. also a happy hour and group discounts?
Shiro's (type : jap?) on the corner of 2nd & battery. Said to be a good place. Need a better review if possible
Shaito's japanese bar (type: jap) on 2nd and lennora. No data exists for this place, if someone knows of this place, please submit a review. (Warning: if assumption serves correct, this may be a bar too)
Uwajimaya' (type: all types of japanese food, including a bakery, also there's a grocery store inside filled with the works of anything asain oriented) this place WILL be a hot spot folks, I can promise you that. They have a food bowl place, a bubble tea with MANY selections, a thai place, even this wierd burger place they just put in X_x will get address soon :O
Oasis (type: japanese) a place right across from uwajimayas, then have pool, some card tables, and a few tv's. Good place for people under 21
sushiland: near the seattle space needle, an all you can eat sushi bar (cheaper then todai's, if rumors are servering correct) I need the addy guys! xD
There is a cute sushi bar (Sushi Kudasai) inside the Century Square building on 4th between Pike and Pine. And a FANTASTIC one (my personal favorite) called Umi Sake House in Belltown on 1st and Blanchard. (It's a bit of a hike but well worth it, and buses are free downtown)
Century Square also hosts a Starbucks, a really cute panini shop, a taco bar, a chinese place and an italian place.
The Rock Bottom Brewery at 5th & University is awesome. Typical brewery food.
Gordon Biersch Brewery in Pacific Place is pretty cool. Typical brewery food.
There's a small hot dog stand (I think it's called Dog in the Park) across from Westlake Center, next to Sephora that is FANTASTIC. Average $4 for a kielbasa or bratwurst, $2 for standard all-beef frank. Smile
The Crumpet Shop at Pike Place Market makes for an awesome cheap, quick and easy breakfast that's not fast-food.
There's a small chinese place in the bottom level of Pike Place Market (near the comic shop!) that has awesome, cheap hombow.
Von's at the bottom of the Roosevelt is absolutely THE BEST EVER. Kinda pricey but completely worth it for the level of service and quality of the food you get. Smile
The Noc-Noc is a bar on 2nd and Pike that has a good happy hour. Cheap food and drink, decent quality.
