Store Sign of the Store FrontVoted Best Dive Bar of 2007,the Five Point in Seattle’s Belltown is a great way to get the party started… If the party started at 10AM.

From the moment you walk in you feel as though you’ve stepped into Titty Twister (minus the strippers and vampires of course).

The Jukebox at the Five Point was a crowd favourite. We could have easily spent hours there simply queuing up music (3 songs for $1). Unlike other establishments, the Jukebox covered all musical tastes. It is stocked with great hits spanning oldies like The Specials to Seattle favourites Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. A quick note though: Hip Hop at 10:30 is not a great idea.

Sampled were the following menu items:

  • Chicken Fried Steak
  • Huevos Rancheros
  • Grilled Cheese
  • Omelettes
  • Poached Eggs

The portions were huge. I enjoyed my Huevos Rancheros. The comments were positive for the Chicken Fried Steak. The Omelettes and Grilled Cheese were rated “good”. The poached eggs however received a failing rating due to them being over cooked. But to be fair, the Five Point is not the place to go for poached eggs. It is way too anti-establishment for that.

Coffee was decent, the pop was as expected. Avoid the Caesars at all cost. It would seem that Americans confuse Caesars with diluted Bloody Marys.

The great food combined with the great service, awesome men’s bathroom, average drinks all give the Five Point the following rating:

    for anyone thinking of stopping here next time you’re in seattle (do it!), I think splitting a chicken fried steak would be the perfect ghetto breakfast.

    BTW - nobody mentioned the gross “hashbrown” patties they make down in seattle. Stay away.
