Ah, this is something.

The Five Point Café now has two little corrals of tables out front, so that you can drink beer and eat greasy-delicious junk food in the sunshine and/or while being lightly drizzled with a relentless misty rain.

The image just arrived in an email from owner David Meinert, who adds: “Our full food and drink menu will be served from 9am to 10pm daily, along with a view of the historic Chief Seattle statue, the monorail, Space Needle and some of Seattle’s more interesting people.”

Outdoor seating was gained via a permit that, at the end of 2010, was appealed by Five Point neighbor Tilikum Place Cafe and some nearby condo dwellers. The move to end service at 10 was part of the compromise with the neighbors, according to an earlier email from Meinert.

It’s supposed to be partly sunny and 58 degrees on Friday, April 30—summer weather, by Seattle criteria anyway. The three restaurants at 2200 Westlake—that shopping center at Denny and Westlake anchored by Whole Foods —are having a party to inaugurate their new outdoor-seating area.

Tutta Bella, Seastar, and the Bar at the Pan Pacific will all be serving a special lunch starting at 11:30; at 2pm all three places will break out their HH menus. That means $5 margarita pizzas from Tutta Bella, $5 Manhattans from Seastar (not to mention raw bar specials like a dozen oysters for $8), some sort of special party punch from Pan Pacific, and all kinds of other stuff that makes going back to work look like a pretty ridiculous idea.

A jazz singer will be on hand to entertain you. Wear your sunscreen.
