This is a great local hangout. Excellent service. Good selection of tap beers. Reasonable prices and some of the best wings in town. Very active pool tables as they host the local tournaments weekly. read more

This place looks a little seedy, but it's not. The bartender is friendly and attentive. The menu has burgers galore, wings, and a few dinner pasta meals. The menu doesn't say it, but the bartender told me, any of the burgers can be made with a chicken breast substitute. Points for that! This place serves the same beef patty in its burgers that most bars do, but here the cook has the good sense to cook it to less than the charred and tough hockey puck standard of most other places. Burgers are a pleasant surprise and nicely done - all done with bacon. Drinks are less expensive than other establishments and just as good. Another plus. Worth giving a try. We'll be back. read more

My co-worker and I went last night to play some pool. This place is great! You play pool by the hour, and the food! Wow! It was so scrumptious! I have my other favorite bar to go to! For being a bar, they have a wide variety on their menu that includes salads and burgers and dinner items! read more

Blue Diamond Pool & Grill - Mushroom burger with steak fries - Bars Near Me - Salem, Oregon

See all

Absolutely LOVE this place. The servers are always the best. I always get beer but my hubby is a drink man. And today was his birthday and she did him pretty well in the drink department. I absolutely would recommend. read more

Great bar! Great food! Feel like I could enjoy a beer there anytime after work. Will be back again.

I used to love this place but they recently hired a new bartender who is the absolute worst. She has a terrible attitude, and treats customers like shit. Yesterday, I witnessed her arguing with a customer who is a regular there about whether or not she can play pool with quarters, which I know from seeing here there that she always does. The bartender refused to allow her to do this, and the customer left. She also was heard in the back talking about the customer to the other employees while she was still there, by the entire bar. Just left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be returning. Sucks because this used to be a great place. read more

Love the crew, and the new felt. Dinner specials are always delicious with Frank on deck. Great place to shoot a few games and enjoy a beverage or two. read more

Amazing service. Thursday night it's the place to be. Bethany is the best of the best. Chili cheese tots! read more

Blue Diamond Pool & Grill - Bars Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Atmosphere is old school chill. Food was pretty good - better than standard bar faire. Bartender/Server/Cook might have been the same person. - hard to tell when all are absent from view 95% of the time. Our order was late, but at least the server/bartender/cook plainly explained that she "forgot we were there". Great place to play a casual game of pool while invisible. read more

I went to blue diamond grill the other night and was shocked at how rude the bartender was toward a customer that just wanted water. the bartender was arguing with the cook and then once the customer asked for water the bartender cut her off and told her " we learned waiting in line in kindergarten " she made me feel very uncomfortable. I just wanted to pay for my food that I ordered and left feeling very bad. read more

Came in for a good Christmas night and was served by the worst bartender. Just a bad attitude,slow and so rude. Do not recommend

Absolutely amazing service. Great drinks. And the food was fantastic. Got a sampler of wings when I didn't know what flavor to order read more

Blue Diamond Pool & Grill - Bars Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Bartender- pretty much nonexistent Food - should have paid me to eat it (wings were burnt) The beer being cold is the only PLUS I could find in this "fine" establishment! read more

First of all, BEST WINGS IN SALEM. PERIOD . The bartenders (Especially Chelsea) are so friendly and very accommodating. The atmosphere is great. Lots of nice pool tables AC is keeping things cool along with the great drinks and many good food options. Tacos on Monday and toastadas on wednesdays are a great happy hour option. You can't go wrong here! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY! DO NOT GO HERE!* Absolutely the worst service I've ever recieved from a bartender. For someone who has "been bartending for 20 years," her customer service was absolute garabage. Unfortunately, some of the people I was with had left due to her attitude and comments towards us, very loudly from the bar. An example: "WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?" It made everyone VERY uncomfortable, and not to mention upset. She had an attitude right from the start, and was upset that I made a comment about my drink (which I hardly drank). I ordered food as well, but I needed to leave. I proceed to the counter and asked to cancel my order and to pay my tab. She absolutely refused to give me a refund, proceeded to the kitchen, and brought out another table's food. Once she was back in the kitchen, she hurried and put my food in a box. Even though I had asked her to cancel my order, and I was NOT paying for it. She argued with me. Reached across the counter and pushed the boxed food towards me, and told me that I was absolutely not getting a refund. Aggressive! At that point, she turned to my friend who was next to me, and made some negative comments to her. She told us to leave, after a big, aggressive heavy sigh. Word of advice, Blue Diamond: GET RID OF HER! She's a negative liability and is losing you money. read more

Stop on by the food is good nothing special but better than fast food and you can get a nice beer or drink here and play some pool read more

Blue Diamond Pool & Grill - Beer - Bars Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Are you kidding me. Called ahead to make sure they had availability for a group of 7 to eat. They said yes. Show up ten minutes later. No one greeted us, okay seat yourselves, no big deal. Sit at the table for ten minutes, nothing. One of our group members walked over and grabbed menus for everyone off the reg station. We all decide what we want, still no one comes over or has even acknowledged us. Wait at the bar to ask the bartender who to order from. She informs us the kitchen is already getting ready to go home (it's around 840) and all we can get at this point is fried foods. THANKS FOR TELLING US WHEN YOU SEE US SITTING THERE AWKWARDLY FOR 15 MINUTES CLEARLY WANTING TO ORDER FOOD. 1 star experience. read more

If you like bad service and being double charged - this is the place for you! Do yourself a favor and avoid all the bars owned by these people. Their poor choices in staff make this place very unpleasant. For my purposes - Internet, fairly priced menu and decent service - the Blue Diamond fails and I will not be returning. Try next door at Cheers... Appropriate prices and fantastic service! Also, get your first domestic beer on Sunday for just one dollar! read more

Best burgers and fries, so far the best food I've had at a bar...prices are great...Paco is a great cook, friendly service...I'm from Los Angeles and Salem needs help in the food dept...Most bars serve OK food. But Blue Diamond to me is the best so far...those other comments that rate Blue Diamond low, well what can I say there all from Salem...the need to get out more...leaks happen, service gets slow everywhere during Happy Hour... So enjoy yourself when your out... read more

Service there is horrible, bartenders are almost always outside smoking when you need a drink. The only thing keeping that place alive is the pool tables lol which is sad. I went to grab some balls for the table and was denied because my license had some scuffs on it. Not ripped, unreadably and was actually told to leave because it wasn't valid lmfao.. what a joke. read more

You gotta try the food or you're missing out. Daily specials plus tons of wings. Portions are large and prices good. Cook Tyler will make you order if you ask read more

Blue Diamond Pool & Grill - Holy moly! This janepeno burger blows my mind and my tastebuds! Thanks Tyler! (Made mine with chicken) - Bars Near Me - Salem, Oregon

First time here, and it wasn't bad. I appreciate the parking area, walking in it's pretty spread out, and there's a variety of alcohol to enjoy while eating, gambling, or playing pool. They do need to update the menus because what I wanted was no longer available, but good substitute offers. While not my favorite spot for food I did enjoy the pool tables and video lottery. read more

I'm only giving this place 3 stars because there are still some friendly staff who work there. But one particular tall, skinny, bartender who works the weekends, I wouldn't recommend going in while she's working. Worst customer service from her and always multiple complaints from others about her. read more

Food was great. Bartender was very nice. I recommend going here. Prices aren't bad. 2 buck PBR all day can't beat that.

Awesome food.. Specially because this is a "Bar" not a restaurant. Have you guys never been to a bar before? You seat yourself.. You go up the bar to get drinks and order if they're the only one working.. Figure it out people, and quit complaining because your lazy! read more

One employee whose job is to tend to the bar and pour the drinks, take food orders and serve food and drinks to the entire establishment inside and the outside patio. We ordered a couple of drinks and were ready to order a couple of steak diners when suddenly the volume on the jukebox doubled or tripled and started blasting rap music out of a speaker about 10 feet from our head. When the sole employee finally came to take our dinner order and we asked if she could turn down the volume while we ate dinner. Her response was well they put money in the juke box and paid for the music. I responded I was not going to order dinner if I I had to listen music blasting while I eat. She just shrugged. Talk a bout a poor business model. One person to make drinks and serve the entire establishment. Prioritizing the juke box over 2 customers who were ready to order steak dinners and drinks and spend $75 + walk out the door is pathetic. If we were there at 9:00 on Friday night loud music would be expected but not during dinner hours. Great wings and drinks just be ready for poor service and bring ear plugs. read more

Great atmosphere, plenty of pool tables and buck hunter, not to mention all the video lottery. .IF PAMELA is behind the bar, you will be blessed with a professional attitude, beautiful face,and fun conversation. .. read more

We have tried this place in the past and it was not good. Very busy with only one bar tender and no cook. We stopped going here but decided to try it out again. They have improved so much! Good drinks and even more so good food! They have always had such good food! read more

Horrible experience, got a table under a leaking roof. Ordered food then left to play poker, the food was delivered before I knew it was getting wet, but the sever knew (1 OF 2 PEOPLE WORKING ON A FRIDAY ) and their only response was ,oh I'm sorry as I was given the entire bill. Very slow on service,will never return, and will tell everyone to stay away that I know. read more

Good pool tables, great big burgers, really good wings. Big deck, good parking, friendly staff.

We tried going there for lunch today (03-28-2015) They were supposed to open at 11:00, we showed up at 11:15 and they were not open. A manager or worker was there outside, but he was the only one there. There were no other employees there. He also told us that no minors were allowed at all (we had our 3 yr old son with us). To me a place that one isn't open when they are supposed to be and they don't allow minors EVER, isn't worth ever trying again! TERRIBLE! read more

Close to home, very good food, the staff has gotten to know us and that makes us feel welcome. Always a easy choice for us.

Came in on thanksgiving evening. Had a seemingly good time until it was time to go home and cash out. The bar tender informed one of our friends who paid separate from me that her math was off on her signed receipt. Indeed it was, but she then very angrily informed us that she was paying us to be there because we didn't tip her enough. I have never been told to tip more because I was being paid to drink at a bar. I handed her $3 more. In contrast I shouldn't have. In combined we spent over $60 and were being treated so unprofessionally. I will never go back and will let everyone I know how we were treated. read more

If I could rate this place in the negative I would. Not only was the bartender the rudest person I've ever met who after taking my food order, I told her I was still thinking about my drink order, my friend tried to order and she told us rudely she can't take more than one order at a time, then gave us attitude and continued to tell the cook loudly to take his time making our food. Then after hearing this we canceled our food order tried to refuse us our money back on food we never got, tried to take our drinks away and kick us out because we canceled our food. I've never seen such horrible service and met such a disgusting bartender. Do not come to this place. read more

I enjoyed the blue diamond and visited frequently over the summer/ fall months with friends. On January 6th I attended a gathering for a friends birthday party with my husband..we gave the bartender "Chelsea" I believe, our credit card to start a tab and planned to later close out with cash,(something I do almost everyone I am there)..we left around midnight with a tab of a little over $60 tab..my husband handed the bartender $75 and we took our card and headed home..a few weeks later I noticed a charge on my visa statement from blue diamond, I called and was told to contact Raymond or Amy at Windjammers(another one of their establishments) which I did and waited patiently for about 6 weeks for any acknowledgement..I checked in about once a week and finally was told that Jason would call me back that day no matter what(2/20/17) and he did. I explained what had happened he told me he would do some research and get back to me. Jason called me on 2/21/17 to let me know that the bartender on 1/6/17 remembered me and my husband and that we tipped her $5 and paid with the card..which did not happen..and he told me that he had tried to help me but that is what his bartender said, I then inquired about surveillance video to see the transaction and he was quick to end the conversation with me..it isn't about the money as much as it is about the bartender that over served us alcohol and then took advantage of us for a $75 tip( I am assuming is how she remembers us from 6 weeks ago) and the establishment owner that allowed it and isn't taking responsibility for it. I really loved having a drink and unwinding here on the weekends but I will not go back to any one of their establishments and I will make sure that everyone knows what happened and how they run a business... read more

The staff is very friendly, the place is very clean and the food is great, best burgers or wings in town bar none.

Hmmm Sunday funday not so much fun at the blue diamond on Sunday's! Group of 4 wanted to have a few drinks and play bar olympics pool tables good dart board not working and the bar tender not to anxious to ask for a second drink! Sorry bad service! read more

Wouldn't go back. Only one person working,so service was slow. They do have nice picnic tables outside and it seemed fairly clean, so they get two stars. Due to one of their tables being wobbly, my boyfriend's full jack and coke was spilled. We asked if we could get another one because of this and the bartender acted as if she would replace it no charge (as most places would have). Everything is well and good until we go to pay the tab and have been charged for the replacement. Didn't want to fight it as we were very ready to be done with the place and said bartender was nowhere to be found. We won't be returning. read more

It's what you were looking for and more! Don't let 1st impressions fool you. Paco makes THE BEST, no really, forget the fancier places for twice the price. I kid you not. Trust me on this.... once you try, you'll literally be dreaming of these finger licking wings! They so insane! I don't think there a place IN THE STATE that makes wings like this. I was driving to one place was driving like 10-15 miles to get to my dream wing place. I'm converted! And it's in my hood! Try the PARMESAN GARLIC WINGS OR THE LEMON GARLIC WINGS. If you don't like them, I wish I could give your money back!!!!!! No. THAT GOOD. They have a burger with chili fries, BUT BE HUNGRY MAN. It's solid trucker food. They have drink specials. Try Moriah's Marionberry Truffle shot. She's hilarious! Honest. Customer comes first. I must add the pool clubs have started to come here now.... food is solid. Service is warm. Prices are lower than the rest. It's catching on. Catch the wave! This is your new all around spot for Friday Karaoke, pool competition. Solid food prices below the rest & twice as good. Give it a shot and be impressed. Tell them Theresa sent you. Chef: Paco! Bartenders: Moriah and Bethany. read more

The only reason Im giving this bar 2 stars is because 1 particular cook has made us really good meals but........ they have some serious staffing issues! We went in for lunch at 11:30 (they supposedly open at 11) it was obvious that the bar tender had just showed up( with wet hair no less, which is one of my biggest pet peeves!!!!!! come on get your a** up on time,dry your hair & get your a** to work! its not hard!!) she had to count the till , turn s**t on (juke box, keno screen, lotto) ...and so on and so on. We have NEVER seen the same bar tender in there. The next time the bar tender had the juke box turned super loud to rap, we could not hear each other talk and the next time we get there at 11:05 ( remember they open at 11:00?) and the place was dark and locked up. As we are leaving, a small car with a girl driving rips into the parking lot( probably with wet hair) so... I give up. read more
