While I will miss Unos as well, I humbly submit Redbones for your late-nite nomming needs. On most evenings the upper room is quite empty by the time they switch over to their snack menu (10:30 PM).

Can they handle a yearly unannounced party of 20?

Well, you may recall that they never faltered when accommodating a certain monthly post-game-demo watering, some years back. Granted, it probably half the size of the group I know you're thinking of.

They can and they did for my birthday party about two years back. I thought my guest list was 5, it quickly turned into 25. The owner came out and had us all seated, together, with drinks in front of us in 20 minutes flat.

I've definitely had better ribs elsewhere (my current love affair is with A Taste of Soul in Everett), but that's the kind of agility I like to see. :D

And I will admit that Redbones is not awful as far as GF goes (they have an ingredients menu) and will liquor you up cheaper than Unos.

On the down side, Redbones is usually unbearably loud when I've been there; I don't know how enjoyable the yearly unannounced party would be in the din.
