Restaurant Details

  • The Hurricane Cafe (one of the city's few 24-hour joints) keeps trying to reinvent itself, seemingly fighting the fact that it always has been and always will be the noisy after-show ritual of Seattle's late-night crowd. The wait staff's generally lazy (with a few exceptions), and the food is always half-assed, but who gives a fuck? It's 4:00 a.m. and you want to eat.
  • Features: Bar/Happy Hour, Cheap Eats, Good for Groups, Late-Night Dining and Open 24 Hours
  • Cuisine: Diner and Pub Grub
  • Serving Hours: Open daily 24 hours
  • Price Range: $

Bar Details

  • Open all night, the Hurricane is a good place to get drunk and then eat a gutbomb to make sure the next morning doesn't hurt. You can also walk in at 6 am and order a drink, which on some nights (mornings) has its appeal. Don't let the old weird dudes at the bar scare you - they are there because it's their home.
  • Hours: Daily 24 hours (liquor served from 6 am-2 am)
  • Happy Hour: Mon-Thu 5-8 pm; Fri 4-7 pm ($1 off wells and micros, $2 burgers).
  • Features: Full Menu, Happy Hour and Billiards
  • Scene: Dive

fuck that host john in his ugly face with a dogdick

Walked into the Hurricane after about 7 years of refusing to step foot into the place because of horrible service, horrible food, and automatic gratuities.

Didn't even make it to a booth, because the gap-toothed ugly motherfucker named John who took our names at the fancy hostess podium told us "They've been waiting for 20 minutes,Get the fuck out of here" when I asked him why he sat two tables of people that walked in after us. He never gave us a time-line how long the wait would be.

He also responded with "Do you see anywhere for you to fucking sit?"

I quickly pointed out the 4 kids sitting in the first booth, drinking coffee and playing RISK. We could sit there right? I mean we want some M-F'in pancakes and bacon and hash browns...we can't? are they VIPS?

What about the table of three gangstahs sitting there with NOTHING but their fucking cell phones? we can't take that table either? Really? We want to buy food, and lots of it. I just got off of work, cooking. I don't want to make myself food.

My brother remenisced on times past when the chef at the hurricane would come out of the kitchen and hurl biscuits at people who were just sitting there drinking coffee for hours....and kick THEM out, so people like me who wanted to eat FOOD and spend MONEY could sit down.

For what it's worth I'm glad we didn't make it to a booth...because we decided to go to beths instead. Which still kicks ass just like it always has.

The owners of the hurricane flushed minnies down the toilet ( or whatever they changed the name to, I can't remember.... )it's only a matter of time before they kill the hurricane as well.

Best of the Late Night Joints

Seattle is rapidly becoming a staid city of losers with six figure incomes who get married before age 30 and have kids before 35. There is hardly any night life here anymore, and with Minnie's, the U-District IHOP and other 24 hour restaurants having closed, there doesn't seem to be many antidotes. One of the very is the Hurricane. Less pricey than 13 Coins, better food than 5 Points, and more conveniently located than any other 24 hour establishment, I hope the Hurricane never closes. Yes, the service is slow, but the waitstaff is friendly and the crowd is diverse. If it's 3 AM and you have nowhere to go/eat, head to the Hurricane.

food is awsome if you ar drunk,

first bar I had ever been to in seattle didnt have my id. and didnt get carded despite the fact that I can easily pass as a 15 year old freshman in high school. good jukebox. people there are kinda weird. nice staff. food is kind of generic, what you normally expect from a place called the hurricane. beer selection is awesome. this place will always have a special place in my heart cause I first discovered dark beer there.
