Both current and old-school drinkers enthusiastically recommend this NW dive for early-morning drinking: Breakfast can be served to you in the bar, and there's even a happy hour ($1 off drinks) from 7-10a.m. Says one reader of the lingering Joe's effect: "Many years ago, my favorite 8a.m. drinking spots were Joe's Cellar [and the neighboring Gypsy]. But I can't remember for sure."

Daily breakfast starts at 9a.m. at the Radio Room, opening up its full bar (and $2.50 Miller drafts) to morning drinkers. Says on commenter: "Occasionally, during the weekday, I am at Radio Room on NE Alberta drinking orange juice mimosas at $7 for a pint... I go for a workout at the gym down the street and then reward myself with mimosas."

The Marathon invited several Eater readers to get exclamatory: "Everybody knows the best place to drink before noon is the Marathona Tavern on Burnside!" And here's why: The spot opens at 7a.m., serving up ridiculously cheap beers and an infamous "$2 Deuces" breakfast special. If you can manage to pass up a cheap egg breakfast, another reader argues "their gyro is unbeatable."

Airports and train stations are usually accommodating to all-hours drinkers, and Wilf's Restaurant — inside Union Station — just makes the cut, opening at 11:30a.m. But according to one frequent traveler, "I'm at Wilfs at the train station 2-3 days a week... and I gotta say they make a mean Bloody Mary! And I think it helps me being there right at opening because the bartender is always a lot more generous with my pour."

N. Williams's hybrid "coffeehouse and tavern" the Waypost opens for breakfast at 10a.m., and one commenter recommends their "$3 mimosas [available] all the time (grapefruit or orange)." Bonus points for the friendly neighborhood vibe and an outdoor patio for morning patio drinking.

This neighborhood spot opens up for breakfast at 11a.m. weekdays (9a.m. weekends) and caters to drinkers mostly looking for a little hair of the dog. One commenter writes that along with Joe's Cellar, the Limelight has "the best drinks and breakfast."

Says one reader of the best morning drinking experience, "The darker the better. The more old people, the better." Thus, according to sai reader, My Father's Place is a must-visit stop for early boozing. The dive bar/greasy spoon opens at 6a.m. for early breakfast crowds looking to wash down eggs with a stiff pour.

This 66-year-old N. Lombard spot opens for breakfast at 9a.m., meaning the daily beer-and-shot-of-the-day pairing can be had alongside breakfast scrambles and French toast. Says one reader, the spot "is a great place to drink during the day. A true neighborhood bar with friendly staff and tasty menu."

This 28th Avenue stalwart opens for breakfast at 9a.m. daily, meaning its house-vodka infusions and $2.50 PBRs can be had well before noon.
