late-night bites
After-dark snacking
Late-night bites are snacks eaten after typical dinner hours, usually late in the evening or after midnight.
The phrase suggests casual, often impulsive eating—raiding the fridge, hitting a drive-through, or grabbing food after a night out: We stopped for late-night bites after the concert.
The term also describes restaurants that cater to this crowd.
