Queer/Bar
Queer/Bar offers live drag performances every Friday and Saturday night, with DJs throughout the week. Blocks away from SIFF Cinema Egyptian, it is a great spot for a cocktail before and after a screening!
Capitol Cider
One block from the SQFF24 festival, Capitol Cider is one of the top five independent cider bars in the country, offering gluten-free cuisine. Bring a ticket stub from a screening for a free order of hand-cut fries. Everyone is welcome.
Lost Lake
This 24-hour diner promises "the stiffest drinks on the Hill" and "no pretentious deconstructed anything, just real food for real people at great prices." The atmosphere is retro-Twin-Peaks-y, and there is pie. Just steps from SIFF Cinema Egyptian.
Comet Tavern
Capitol Hill’s former dive icon ups it game with a rehabbed new look heavy on recycled wood and neon, plus dining booths, vintage pinball, pool and Skee-Ball and entertainment that ranges from DJs spinning vintage vinyl to live bands. With 24 taps and a beer can lineup that ranges from run-of-the-mill to craft, no one will go thirsty.
Pony
The gays know how to have fun: They know it, you know it, I know it, and Pony is more fun per inch than anywhere in town, if not the world. Just blocks from SIFF Cinema Egyptian, Pony is a great option for a cocktail at almost any time of the day.
Union
Union is the newest addition to the Capitol Hill gayborhood with a relaxed atmosphere, cocktails, cold beer, delicious bites, music videos, a fireplace lounge and year-round outdoor patio, bring your friends to meet-up, relax and unwind.
Poquitos
At Poquitos we strive to present delicious Mexican cuisine prepared with ingredients that are the best of both worlds - outstanding local sourcing for our meats and produce; unique and direct sourcing for items essential to honoring the culinary traditions of Mexico.
Pelmeni Dumpling Tzar
At Dumpling Tzar, we serve up everyone’s favorite comfort food: dumplings. In the Russian Pelmeni tradition, they’re pillowy bites of beef or potato (your choice), topped with a variety of delicious sauces & condiments. Our Capitol Hill location also offers dessert dumplings (Nutella, anyone?!) and craft cocktails, beer, and wine.
Eltana Wood-Fired Bagels
Eltana’s bagels are hand-rolled for chewy deliciousness, wood-fired for more handsomeness, and smaller than most, along the lines of the bagels found in Montreal. The bagels taste good, and the cafes are pleasant. Also: soups, spreads, and sweets—from Syria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and all across the Levant—along with regional wine and beer.
Saint John's Bar & Eatery
Named after the 1905 apartment building in which it resides, St. John’s brings affordable, unpretentious food and drink to Capitol Hill’s Pike/Pine corridor.
