Editorial Review for Five Point Cafe – by Paul Fontana
The Scene
The sticker on the cigarette machine reads, "Alcoholics serving alcoholics since 1929." Though partially based in fact, it's the self-deprecating attitude that's responsible for this watering hole's longevity. Dark, smoky and loud--especially in the evening--Five Point is that rare kind of spot where ashtrays are "cleaned" by dumping the contents on the floor, where the bartenders will axe a jukebox selection not to their liking and coasters occasionally whiz through the air. The floor is black and white, and so is the attitude--have a sense of humor or leave.
The Draw
Drinks are stiff and the staff is never shy, making this a welcome oasis for serious drinkers. The menu offers typical diner fare done right: Breakfasts are particularly strong, featuring endless hash browns that strike the delicate balance between crispiness and greasiness.

Good place to stop for food (and last call) if you're heading back to your hotel near the Space Needle from partying at the clubs downtown on 1st and 2nd Avenues. It's an 'in your face' type of bar w/ a greasy spoon type menu. Not a destination but a good place to end the night.
