A restaurant or coffee shop you half remember visiting while drunk. In most cases the location of the restaurant is mistaken. If a drunk forgets something and tries to retrieve it the following day it will seem as though the restaurant was an apparition, as there is no restaurant where they believe they ate.
Its called a phantom diner because the scenario is very similar to a popular ghost story genre - a man has en experience with strange characters at a bar, on a ship, on a train, only to return the next day to find the setting has been abandoned for many years, or is just gone.

"I swear I was at a diner on 45th and Oak Street last night and left my phone. I took a cab there this morning, but when I got there there was no restaurant to be found. It's like it just vanished"

Get the Phantom Dinermug. A TV show (on Netflix) about a teen girl who forms a band with three ghosts.
Julie (the main character) has had trouble playing music since her mom died, which led her to being kicked out of her performing arts program at school. When she meets three ghosts (Luke, Alex, and Reggie) while cleaning out her mother’s music studio, she forms a band with them, and is able to find herself again through the music that they create.
Many other plots occur during the show, such as the boys trying to figure out how they can “cross over,” in order to escape the control of an evil ghost, and Carlos (Julie’s little brother), trying to hunt the ghosts, along with his aunt.

Person 1: have you seen Julie and the Phantoms?
Person 2: yes! I can’t believe they haven’t renewed it for a second season yet!
