After Work Drinks Meet Italian Fare on the Ave

Trade the workday for a stop on the Ave. Pauly's at Earl's is an unpretentious neighborhood bar and restaurant in the University District, serving Italian fare alongside a choice of casual drinks. Start with a drink, make food part of the plan, and keep the evening centered on one place. The setup suits an after work detour when a bar and something to eat are the whole brief.

The venue is open from 4 PM to 2 AM on Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, with Tuesday closed. That window covers an early evening arrival as well as a later stop.

Find it at 4333 University Way NE in Seattle. Online ordering is available through the venue website, offering another way to arrange food before heading over. Call the venue directly on 1 206 525 4493 for questions ahead of the evening.
