Great little bar, get the potato skins. Good service whatever the issue was it is gone!

If I wanted to be ignored and treated like an insignificant part of the room, I would just stay home. Unless you are one of the "regulars" you are pretty much seen as an outsider and can leave anytime. It is truly an interesting business model. read more

Food , service, everything is great except one bartender who works in pull tabs she pulls the pull tabs behind the bar "for customers" but in that ignores other customers to make money ... many people have reported her to the gambling commission and got in trouble at a job before and the owner knows and doesn't do anything just sucks when it's the one bar with great pull tabs around! Shady and makes it hard for others who come in more regular! Sad! read more

My poker league plays here, and the league invited me to check it out. I finally came in to see. I have never seen such disrespect from a fellow Hebrew bartender or barback. Who knows? I was waiting to order a drink for 5 min while the other bartenders were doing nothing, and then the same fellow Hebrew bartender kicked my brother out of nowhere while playing poker and winning. This is how they treat their veterans. We did not get to try the food to make our judgment. I'll make sure to let the rest of my league know never to come here at all. Salute to the ones that only play poker here. It was an awful place that singled us out, and we were winning the poker game. Again, we will never come here. read more

It is 65 degrees in here and they won't turn up the heat. Since the weather has turned its empty and I bet they wonder why!

One star for - Only walked here from the martini place. Wasn't planned. Heard they had pull tabs. Fun cheap way to gamble small Kine. My first pull tab. $1, $5, $10...2nd star for service. They had dart games our group played. They had the 'touchtunes' where you can control the music. Plus, because our group has a guy that has so much coins to use towards over taking the first/next song to play. I had their root beer and it was nasty. But everyone in the group had fun, enjoyed the music and games. Our server was Johanna. She was okay. Return, nah, not in a rush to. read more

One of the bartenders here is always super rude to me and everyone im with. he always has an attitude and tonight he waved his pen at me to sign my receipt after two seconds of waiting. highly do not recommend this bar. go to glow or the blt. read more

It's OK. It's a big dive bar with drinks and pool tables, darts. No ambience. I don't go out of my way to go here.

The bartender I had who was (M probably 30+) was my absolute favorite. Food A+. Drinks A+. I made bestfriends here tonight. Highly recommend. read more

Not a terrible place. Never eating here ever again. Took my wrap home to eat later in the day and there was a USED BANDAID in the wrap that made it into my mouth. Absolutely disgusting! read more

The pizza tasted like mold . The service was rude and absolutely non-existent. We finally got asked. "Let me see your id!" We show our ids. He answers the phone and walks away... 5 other people walk in front of us. Workers. They ignore us too. Then the guy on the phone come out of the kitchen and says what do you want"? I order my shot and beer and say "do you have a menu?" He says no... we don't have a menu. I said do you have food? No we do t have food or a menu! Wtf? I came here on a Sunday to watch the football game and eat some wings. Thanks for the horrible service. I will never return. Way to sell me what I came into spend 100$ on . We were only 3 people and just wanted some beers and food! I eventually told the bartender that we came for food. He says ok we can make pizza. He brings out this moldy ads crust pizza covered in cheese. It wasn't even the toppings we ordered. It's amazing that they can still serve food here. read more

Nope. This place is a hot mess. I would not come back here if they were offering free drinks. The customer service is pretty terrible even or a dive bar. They truly take care of their regulars and everyone else is essentially invisible. The place was trashed from the floors to the tables and the bar top. Luckily we only stopped in for a moment while we were waiting for a table at the restaurant in the same parking complex. I ordered one beer and didn't even finish because it got to the point that I was just desperate to pay and leave. Good luck to anyone who ventures into this dumpster fire. read more

Stop in for a beer grow old waiting for service. Service is non existent. Could not tell you about the food, but based on other reviews... pass read more

Our first stop in Washington last weekend was at Babalouie's in Bonney Lake, on the way back to our friend's home in Puyallop. We played some darts on their electronic board (which I never like because I feel like every 3rd dart doesn't stick in the board) but it was still fun! Our group of 6 finished off a table full of food and drinks for under $200. I ordered the chicken wings ($8.49) and was pretty disappointed with them, but everything else was good. Deep friend pickle spears ($6.49) were popular, as well as the "small" nachos ($8.49 - they aren't very small!) and the chicken quesadillas ($8.49) were prob my favorite. Bud Light, Coors Light and Michelob Ultra are all $4, Jameson is $7, PBR is $3.50, Mannys is $5 and well tequila is $5. Tracie was our server and did a good job of keeping up with everyone's appetite. I'd def go back if we lived in the area! The place is big and it's clean inside, from the bar to the bathroom! read more

Bunch of low reviews.... can't see why. Been here a couple dozen times and It's a great place. Bar food is good, drinks are good and the staff if great. Remember this is not some liberal pub that caters to the entitled "Karen" attitudes. Remember they are here to serve you beverages not be your servants. read more

There aren't a lot of choices in Bonney Lake but if you are looking for a decent local spot, this is worth it. Good drink prices and good service. read more

My friend and I wanted to find a place to wind down and this was conveniently close. Our waiter was very attentive and professional and knowledgeable with their drink and food menu. Tables and chairs were spaciously apart which was a plus. Their garden salad was delicious especially with the garlic cheese bread on the side. I would recommend this place! Absolutely great customer service. read more

Their TWO star review is generous. My friend spoke highly of this place and was excited to go play darts for her birthday. Upon arrival not even half of our party was granted entrance because they "have been drinking" allegedly in their vehicle (one girl was finishing pizza from dinner, no beverages what-so-ever involved). My partner and I were granted access long enough to use their restroom and then we realized the rest of our party was escorted out while several employees argued at the front door about "whose call" it was to not allow them in. The "bouncer" was friendly. I was excited to try their appetizers and enjoy the rest of the evening until they ACCUSED our friends of drinking in their car and therefore not granting them access. If they were truly wasted beyond serving I would have understood but this was not the case. read more

This bar smells like pee. I have been here maybe 5 times and it always smells like sewage and primarily pee. My friends have also confirmed this. Gross. read more

Super bad service. Food quality has gone downhill. Pizza came with very little sauce. No one asks if we needed drink refills.

WARNING: This is a bar- A very CHEAP bar. If you go here expecting edible food you need serious help. The bar itself is okay- Mainly the people I know go for the HUGE pull tab section and playing pool. Its also okay if U want to watch some sports on a Sunday afternoon. But, as said DON'T EAT. One night i went for a smoke outside and this dude who looked like he was on meth- dirty-skinny-outside smoking and he looked stoned (at the very least). He was sitting outside on the pavement. I asked him whats he doing up there (smokers tend to chat with the others outside) and I found he was on break from the kitchen. I had just had something to eat there (fried food) ... I ran inside to puke- Literally I made myself puke. I will NEVER EVER eat there again- but, I will probably have a few drinks some other time. Also, The bathrooms are filth. As a girl its nice to be a tall girl- Then I am no where near that toilet. Good luck. read more

Weird location/space in strip mall. Ok basic bar food and drinks. They do have pool and games to play, but layout and decor need some updating. read more

We went to Babalouie's last night to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. It was a perfect bar. The service was incredible. I don't know why there are bad reviews for service. We had 13 people and they kept up with everything. At 9pm the DJ came on and pLayed great music along with taking requests. They have 3 pool tables, darts, pull tabs, a couple games, and a dance floor. So they have everything. :) we will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff for the perfect night! read more

Well since I can't go to this bar when a certain bartender is working it's been a year since I decided her service is worth no tip I feel harassed I know that I have not done anything to be banned from a place I've never been stupid drunk or disrespectful to nice good people who work there I just had an opinion and I'm free to decide if the service is worth tipping and due to no tip the employee can ban me from entering the bar when she is working. This is bull poop. Grow up and get over yourself. These random bad reviews will continue so I can earn my position of being banned for only decent bar in Bonney lake. read more

Decided to pop in here for some coin-operated pool table time after field work. Actually felt pretty cool walking inside. Cool, dim lighting. Dining seating. Cool bar spread. Jukebox. Spacious open ceiling. Small arcade with a decent bowling game (the curveball directions are weird to figure out). Me and co-worker played some pool with locals. Most seemed like truck drivers and regulars, which of itself can be good or bad: Good for being extra friendly/homey. Bad for wondering "who're the new faces" in their local spot. Some non-Yelp review(s) helped shed light on that (they seemed to copy&paste it around). We felt pretty good I think. My co-worker actually had a good time with the truck drivers/regulars playing pool while I was spinning a ball rolling balls. Great conversation, talking about guns, hunting, and truck stuff. The bar owner(?) even came to check on my co-worker and his food. Both of us were checked; always a compliment for age. ;) It's strange going someplace where you're used to seeing different people most of the time then coming to a local usual spot out in the sticks. First time impressions can affect that, as well. Not bad, though, I'd probably go back if offered the chance. read more

My experience overall was not that good, the bread gave me food poisoning I shat myself 2 times on the way home but I did end up getting laid by some European chick so that's a plus read more

Worst service ever. Fat bar tender was rude, stuck up, she smelled like bubble bee tuna. Food was cold, garbage was everywhere, the toilet was clogged and overflowing, had a giant turd in it. Place is thrashed inside. What a dump. At least I was drunk, before I got there, which somewhat made it bearable. Will never be back and do not recommend this place for anyone. read more

Clean place, cheap drinks but seriously could not cook pre cooked boneless chicken wings TWICE!? Sent them back once because they were still frozen. Allegedly they made "fresh" ones that were STILL cold in the middle!! Seriously!? Sent them back again and told them forget it I'm not trying again. It was ridiculous. They were pre cooked obviously but you can't even make them warm? The only thing they did was take those off the bill, no effort put in to caring about having a returning customer. Food probe... invest in one or invest in someone who knows how to use one. Only reason I went was because the BLT closed but this ain't worth it. I will go to sumner to find a descent bar. read more

Well the horrible. Blonde bartender is chasing away business!! She looked at my Nevada license and even when providing her a debit card and multiple forms of ID including my social security card she said since it was out of state and I couldn't confirm the numbers on the street (even though I confirmed the street city and zip) she wouldnt allow me to drink and had a total B.I.T.C.H.Y attitude I will never return read more

Great place to cool off and relax, not too upscale, not too "hip". Just watch out for those locals. ;) read more

Service is non-existent. Cocktail waitresses spend too much time bs'ing either with co-workers or what appears to be regulars while ignoring others. Asked 3 times for a particular item which was never received. Would give it 0 stars if I could. Service this bad on a slow afternoon I couldn't imagine a packed house. read more

Honestly, this place used to be okay but recently it's been a total sh*tshow. All the waitstaff/bartenders seem to do is gossip behind the server station, smoke and forget to put in drink orders. I ordered a drink and it took almost 45 minutes to get to my table. Now, I'm not impatient and can understand wait times and whatnot but the bar wasn't even full lol. Definitely won't return. This place is the definition of a dive - diving to the depths of hell to find the worst restaurant. read more

This place is totally unprofessional and has the worst service. Let me preface this by saying we hadn't had a single drink before we went here. When we got there the song "Get Low" was playing and we started dancing. The cocktail waitress came to the table so we stopped dancing to get An order in. I asked the waitress for a double vodka Red Bull and they said "yea, not gonna happen". Talk about rude. Hadnt had a drink all night. I've gone there multiple times and they've never been so rude as tonight to my bridal party. When I called and talked to The manager she was so rude and very unprofessional. Cussing on the phone towards me and saying that my friends are sloppy and "fucking sluts" Let me just say I was wearing heals. Something I NEVER do because I'm 6 feet tall and wearing heals makes me a giant so yea! In 4inch heals I was dancing walking etc just fine. None of us were being sloppy none of us were doing anything to seem drunk because we hadn't even had a drink!! The manager called all the bars in the area too saying not to serve us and when we left and went to another bar they served us because they saw we were not drunk and very sober. Won't be returning ever. And will make sure no one I know goes there. read more

The service in this place needs to change. All employees are either outside smoking or hanging out with regulars. I can see why it's so empty in here. The bar, games, and pool area are huge. Just no patrons and terrible service. read more

Vistited out of state and decides to check this place out with some friends. Handed them a government issued valid id from California. Because my state doesn't require us to change to a horizontal until the license is expired they would not accept it which was fine. But then after i decided not to drink and stay and play a game of pool with my friends they told us we had to leave because they couldn't accept a vertical license even being in there regardless if it is valid or not. Do not recommend any out of state people go in. Will not be returning next time horizontal license or not. read more

I've been here a few times one of the bartenders smoke way to much and you have to wait for drinks. It's not to clean and smells. To top it off I asked for a drink and to close my tab she didn't and told me to add the drink to her tip on top of what I wanted to tip her!!! Wait what.. read more

I do not care if you are a bar or not- monitor and assess the amount of alcohol you serve people! THAT is one of the jobs of being a good server!You should not serve 7 shots AND 7 beers (yes 1 of each at the same time) to one person in one hour! I don't care how much money you think you will make. The server last night was doing this to not only one guy- but 2! One was 1/2 the size of the other. Do you have your license to serve liquor. You should probably take the class over .. Ridiculous!! One of them even drove. If they would've gotten pulled over- your establishment would have been in big trouble! read more

If you find yourself in Bonney Lake after 9pm on a Monday night looking for a place to eat and drink, just go to Babalouie's because they are open. When I saw the colorful neon name of the place, I wasn't sure what it was, but I soon found out. It's a sports bar-kind of dive bar type of place with pool tables and plenty of seating at either booths, tables, or the bar. The menu has a decent number of selections including apps, burgers and sandwiches, salads, and pizza. We ordered a works pizza and drinks. The pizza was pretty good bar pizza with a fair amount of toppings, and the drinks were worth it, as the bartender was good with the pour. The service was fair with the amount of people she was handling. Take note, if the place is really busy, I could see the possibility of it getting backlogged. The prices are average, but they are more on the good side of average. I love that they have a pinball machine! read more

Exactly what I expected when I stopped by with the exception of $1.00 a game for pool. That's just outrageous for a bar table in Bonney Lake. I've got no problem paying for pool, and I often pay well to play at Parlor or a place like that in Bellevue, but $1.00 for these tables was straight robbery. Drinks were reasonable, but not poured as strong as I'd expect for a dive bar like this. Waitress was friendly and attentive so they have that going for them, which is nice. read more

We frequent many local establishments & gave this place a second chance. The positives: Food good. Cold drinks. Service attentive. The glaring negative: They so overcharged us. $70 for two people?! What is this?! Cheesecake Factory?! And we didnt even order any steaks! Just 2 Happy Hour items & Happy Hour priced draft domestic drinks! C'mon! Only logical reason is they charged us regular price for drinks. And what's worse is they knowingly overcharged us. The plain Jane looking long haired blonde older bartender is a crook!! Beware. read more
