( 206-328-7837; www.highlineseattle.com ; 210 Broadway E; 11am-2am Mon-Fri, 9am-2am
Sat & Sun; Capitol Hill) From the guys who ran the late and much-lamented Squid &
Ink vegan cafe in Georgetown comes this bar-restaurant hybrid (mostly a bar, but with
the distinct advantage of serving hearty food until 1am). As the door guy put it, 'We
have lots of games, cheap booze and a full vegan menu' - he strongly recommends the
biscuits and gravy for brunch. There's also live music.

Sat & Sun; 12) There's a tug of loyalties with Stumptown, Portland's coffee pioneers
founded in 1999 by Duane Sorenson, who hails from Puyallup near Seattle. Stumptown
practically defined the new third-wave coffee movement when it opened its first cafe in
downtown Portland, selling fair-trade, single-origin, home-roasted coffee with an em-
phasis on taste rather than cup size.
The ethics served to inspire just about every other indie coffee roaster in the US, so
it's hardly surprising you'll still find a sizable contingent of Stumptown loyalists, espe-
cially among the Seattleites who congregate in this busy nook, one of two Stumptowns
in Capitol Hill.
