Bars are notable for staying open late, but I’m not really familiar with alternatives that might operate similarly. I think many cafés (at least around my area) tend to close a few hours earlier by comparison, which would be my go-to for an alternative otherwise, so what other options are there?

    Whataburger, Winco Foods, insomnia cookies, Denny’s, and other diners come to mind. Since covid, hardly anything is open late anymore.

    You might be able to find some other places local to you that we won’t know aboht, if you satay up late and use the “open now” option on Google maps.

        Lol my wife and I absolutely used to go to 24 hour grocery stores at like midnight on weekends back before we had kids. We both love cooking so it was fun to slowly peruse the aisles looking for random things we hadn’t noticed before and coming up with ways to use them.

        Lame I guess, but neither of us likes bars that much and we couldn’t afford to go out that often anyway.

        Different strokes for different folks, and all that :)

        Night owls still need groceries and it’s best to shop when you’re more awake and alert. When I worked a graveyard job, Winco was a lifesaver. I thought if better to include more for those who might be interested.
