Seattle may be an “early to bed, early to rise” kind of city, but that doesn’t mean we’re without a healthy population of night owls.
Whether you’re finishing up some work, cramming for an exam, or taking advantage of a late night creative spurt, sometimes you need a quiet place to work away from home.
Hunker down at one of these late-night studying spots around town, open even after the sun’s long gone:
Hellbent Brewing Company | Beer’s a brain food, right? It’s hard not to get creative after a beer or two. But jokes aside, breweries can offer calm atmospheres + pretty solid bites later into the evening. This one’s open until 12 a.m. Friday + Saturday and until 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
Armistice Coffee Roosevelt | While most of Armistice’s locations close early in the day, its Roosevelt coffee shop stays open until 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Cafe on the Ave | For the serious late-night workers, this U District diner has hours on Friday + Saturday that run until 2 a.m. But weeknights can still be a refuge with a closing time of 11 p.m.
Tea Republik | Camp out here until 10 p.m. Sunday-Friday or 11 p.m. on Saturday — plus, there’s nothing a warm mug of loose leaf tea can’t fix.
A few more pro tips
- While the Seattle Public Library’s branches don’t stay open super late, a good portion of them have hours that extend until 8 p.m. during the week.
- Bars can get pretty rowdy on the weekends, but visiting on a weeknight can help you avoid the regular crowds + get you out of the house for the evening. Also, some have rad late night happy hours.
- If you don’t mind spilling some extra cash, coworking spaces like The Cloud Room offer membership packages that come with 24/7 access to their office.
