FREMONT — After 25 years in business, Fremont's The Dubliner has closed. But the space isn't sitting empty; the Hotel Hotel Hostel, located above the former bar, has expanded into the downstairs space. They serve pizza and beer to hostel guests and local patrons alike. [Fremont Universe]

CAPITOL HILL — Capitol Hill's IHOP saw some police action early this morning. Around 1 a.m., a man walked in and, implying he had a weapon, demanded cash. He left with $150 and is still on the lam. [Capitol Hill Seattle]
