/r/Seattle, where do you go to relax, code, get some decent drinks and maybe a little food?

As a Belltowner, I like Bedlam Coffee as well as the Uptown Espresso on 4th and Wall.

Cafe Ladro is always a good place. There are bunch around and the adirondack chairs outside are always great.

You get my standard late-night reply: The Hurricane. Downtown, no more than 10 minutes on foot away from Westlake Station. Open 24/7, and really fits the greasy spoon image. The whole menu's available all the time. No energy drinks, just sodas...though they do have a bar and coffee, if you want those items. I think they may have a wifi setup there too.

Downsides: There are times of day where it won't be even remotely quiet. The bathroom's always a wreck, too.

I guess it doesn't meet your lateness requirement, but I love the 10th floor of the central library. Sadly, this isn't a good week for it (being closed and all).

I also have spent a lot of time in the basement of Stumptown (on 12th). I've gotten tons of coding done there, but unfortunately I don't know their hours.

Edit: scratch that. Stumptown is open until 10pm.

Vivace at Alley 24 is open until 11, has the baddest ass coffee evar and decent wifi & pastries. there's also pizza and a deli on the block. From the 72 Fairview stop, it's a 10 min walk.

Cyberdogs is essentially a hot-dog stand, they are tiny, and there's very little around there. If you're getting the 72 from near UW, you could get a 43 to Capitol Hill, there's tons of great places around there. Vivace on Broadway has wifi and is open late, Caffe Vita on Pike is even better and is right near a ton of great food & drink options.

in UW:

both trabant and sureshot close at midnight. I dunno about sureshot, but trabant doesn't have many food options. Luckily, you're at 45th and the ave, so it doesn't matter. Plenty of food and booze options nearby.

on Cap Hill:

Bauhaus is open until 1am, has good people watching, no booze, and pastries (including ding dongs!). It is also a short walk from the convention center bus stop.

Vivace on Broadway is open until 11, has better espresso than you've ever had, has IPA + sammiches + salads + other food options. The 49 stops a block away, or you can take the 72 downtown, hop over to pike, and take the 49 or 43 up.

Online Coffee on Olive is open until 1am, has some pastries (but is close enough to Broadway and especially Dicks). Dunno about booze. 43 is ideal for online.

I prefer Vivace and spend a ton of time coding there. I loves it. I'd also be happy to pair with you, tho it has been years since I did any considerable python. Just don't tell me you've been coding on Twisted or I may go homicidal (again).

Belltown Pizza @ 1st and Wall.

Wifi is "RealEast", get the long-ass code from the bartender.

I mostly go to Kate's Pub on 45th just west of I-5 (and near the U District, or in it, depending on where the district starts and stops) for food and beer, and happy hour 4-7 with half off all food, but I believe they also have free wifi. They're laidback, the food is good, the beer is good. It might be too loud to do much work on a weekend night, but otherwise, if you can work in noise, you could try there.

I'm guessing they have standard coffee, but I know they have soda.

Watertown on 12th and Cherry is nice. It turns into a bar at night, but you can hang out and get your stuff done in a nice environment whether you want to drink or not.
