Catch Up Over Pinball and Pasta This Nov 25
Challenge an old friend at Unicorn Bar, then carry the conversation to Serafina over wood-fired pizza or rigatoni bolognese. Check Thanksgiving Eve hours directly before settling your Wednesday reunion plans.
Capitol Hill to Eastlake
A Carnival Homecoming
Start Thanksgiving Eve at Unicorn Bar with a challenge to an old friend at the pinball machines. The bar is at 1118 E Pike St on Capitol Hill. Entry is restricted to guests aged 21 and over. A photo booth gives your group another way to mark the reunion. Downstairs, the arcade includes basketball and shooting games. Keep the first stop focused on catching up before the evening shifts to dinner at Serafina.
Supper After Pinball
Serafina puts the next part of the evening in Eastlake, at 2043 Eastlake Avenue East. Alongside the main dining room, an indoor bar area provides another seating option. Order wood-fired pizza or rigatoni bolognese as friends catch up over dinner. Susan Kaufman founded the restaurant in 1991. Longtime chef Christian Chandler now owns it. Check Thanksgiving Eve hours directly before planning this second stop around the regular dinner schedule.
Different Registers for Thanksgiving Eve
The reunion has two distinct registers in Seattle. Unicorn Bar sets up play through pinball, basketball and a photo booth, with its carnival details. Serafina shifts the focus to Italian cooking, including wood-fired pizza and rigatoni bolognese, plus an indoor bar area. Together, the venues frame a homecoming around both shared games and a sit-down meal. The contrast is in the kind of gathering each supports, not a promised route or schedule.
