All the Meh you could ask for. Standard low rent bar with average beer selection and mixed drinks as long as they have 2 or less ingredients. We ordered a burger and the taco special. It was OK but nothing that would mage you want to go back unless it's just the nearest beer tap to your house. read more

Pretty much your standard local tavern with a clear emphasis on pool tables and those who like them. Comfy in a threadbare sort of way, we enjoyed a couple of fairly average burgers with fries as well as two tasty pints of beer, served by a friendly bartender who was kept very busy by an active clientele, at least half of whom were clearly regulars. Overall, nothing special or outstanding but, if you're thirsty and happen to stop by, you'll likely appreciate hanging with the locals for an hour or two. And, in a world of corporate-owned bars, it's nice to support a place that's still independent and has been around for decades. read more

I always stop here when in town! Great service, cold beer and stiff drinks! There are TV's to watch a game, pool tables and dart boards! Nice outdoor seating as well! read more

An amazingly talented woman bartender who is also a chef. Such amazing speciality handmade treats, soups, etc made at Cedar. Thank you Clair read more

On weekends, the best omelet I've ever had in my life. It's not on the menu, but the cook makes it great

Don't let the outside fool you. Spotless on the inside! We were there at a weird time - 3pm ish. One server/bartender, but she was really good. Pretty good beer selection - the standard offerings, plus quite a few Micros. We had Irish Death and Manny's. We had an order or gizzards and split a Philly cheesesteak and tots. The gizzards were pretty good, but not great. She forgot to put the tots in, so we ended up with fries. The fries were pretty good, but they were not tots! She offered to replace them but we just settled for the fries. The cheesesteak was supposed to come on a French roll. It showed up on white bread. Hmmmm. Really? It's a CHEESESTEAK! It tasted okay, but really not what we were expecting. So, maybe we'll stop in for a beer sometime. Likely wouldn't return for the food. read more

Me and my colleague arrived and immediately following inquired on pool table gaming with existing active pool player. We were met with clear racism, "fuck this chink" without any provoked behavior. It was immediately addressed for clarification/confirmation directly with the initiator. The initiator denied the act/words despite having 2 witnesses including myself as the closest/people who heard those words. It was addressed with the short dirty blond bartender and she laughed at the issue of racism. My and my colleague departed to avoid further conflict however, the bartender mentioned failed to address it with the instigator and continued to serve that person. Racism is not condoned my any business/establishment regardless. This establishment violates the EO policy which applies to every business. Legal action will soon to follow. read more

2nd visit. Nothing has changed. Stopped in for a quick drink. I appreciate the bar having Pendleton. Lighted, clean, friendly staff and patrons. Great lil' bar. read more

Cedar Inn Tavern - Let's have a Pendelton on ice. - Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Meh ordered an old fashioned someone does not know how to make them, nice enough place locals kind of place.

I love going here.I remember the first time I went there. I was with my bff. She Being born and raised in Oly, knew the atmosphere way better than I did. We met up around 4:30-5pm on a Thursday We just finished Bingo at O'Blarneys. When we originally met. It was suppose to be a stay for a couple, catch up, home early, kinda thing. ‍ HeeHee That didn't happen My bff and I decided to meet there and have a burger. She raved about them!! So, we ordered ourselves ciders & blue cheese and mushroom burgers I think it was. With Bacon!! Bahaha can't forget that. Everything's better with bacon!? SHOUTOUT To Whomever made their hamburgers!! OMGosh!! Delish is an understatement. I'm normally not a bun eater... OM, You have to eat it there though. Magic fingers. It's still very much the delicious burger when you think of the perfect juicy cheeseburger. It's just never the same, when you bite in to a delivered burger vs being there fresh from the grill. UNFORTUNATELY, (I know, that was mean of me) they don't do the burgers anymore for supper. Or something like that. So call first if you need the deets or stop by if it's related. I know the last 2 times my husband and I chose "Cedar Burgers", for our "night out" and were greatly disappointed, because they told us they're not doing them. So we haven't been back after the second or maybe the person who does them wasn't there?? Idk, so for whatever reason. Know, they we're great. During the day there are local regulars in and out. I've noticed. I can say this because I live nearby. I pass the establishment almost every time I leave my house. They just want it to be a mor fast paced bar with more snack food. If they do have the original burgers still flippen during the day I highly recommend. I haven't been in during the day. I'm going to have to stop in and check it out. Then update y'all. Cuz now I want a BCMB burger. Like a nice, big, thick, perfectly cooked, FRESHLY GRILLED/SEARED, it was incredible while it lasted . Just know (if it is still being served by the same maker I know they're scrumptious)!! If it's a new cook, I can't speak for them. I don't like eating burgers delivered. They get soggy. It's still good, but why settle for good when you can have fresh off the grill greatness!? Right!! They have good micro and cider on tap. .s SURPRISE, they had Poker night that night. (We both love poker). We ended up not eating our burgers. We played poker. Had the best time ever!! My handsome hubs, my high school honey... Yes he is. I refuse to say subscribe here and I'll tell ya how too.It's a lotta love, trust & support. It goes BOTH WAYS!! If not, I won't say you're doomed, but I will say you'll struggle like hell. Love is always out there. Lingering in the air. Some call it fate, some call it magic but what it is, is just magical energy sprinkling a little happiness to you & to me. Being equally special in each others daily universe. . Depending on the types and style of relationships nowadays we just gotta stop with the expectations, and always remember what brought you two together. We live in a crazy world nowadays. Don't lose that fire. out there-still happens!! 28 years and we're still goin strong!! If you haven't been to cedar. Yeah, I guess it would fall under the little dive bar category. However, don't let that discourage you from stopping in. Oh, no!! It is bigger than what you think!? Don't let the small entrance and well, use to be huge parking lot!! Lol (construction) deter ya!! There IS a large enclosed area designated just for smokers. There's, pool tables, karaoke , Poker (certain days of the week)!! Tables to sit at. A bar to sit at. It's a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Besides, the good food menu disappearing and starting to focus more on "Quick Bar Food" for evening food options. At least the last 3 times my husband and I have been there. That's what we were told by whoever was tending bar. This place is really fun & happening on weekend nights and event nights!! They do have dancing, Bingo on Wednesdays, A live DJ, Live Music. I mean. One Fri I went it was a younger crowd and the next time I went it was a mixture. Huge variety of culture (No Judgement) 21+ culture go here. I have never been here and NOT had a good time!! I live close so I usually Uber there Hey, why Chance it!? Like I said, I've ALWAYS had a good time here. Maybe I'll see ya there. Have a great time. Welcome to Olympia, Lacey if it's your first time. It's so beautiful here. Drink responsibly. read more

Without a doubt, the bartenders have been nothing but accommodating and friendly every time I have walked in, and you can tell that they've had their kindness tested times before, and yet, they manage to find the way when necessary, and overall that has to be the #1 thing is intention. I've only managed to order a burger once there, but the vibe was awesome. I relaxed and enjoyed. I just hope they can get a good cook in there! No complaints. Multiple areas to relax indoor and outdoor. read more

Great place to hang on a Friday night! Their lottery raffle is soooo fun! My friends and I look forward to letting off steam here after a hard week at work! If you ever here and sunny or Marvin are working- you are in for a treat! They are seriously so fun and make the atmosphere bumpin! read more

No more homemade, handcut fries!! Burgers are still great. Nice beer selection. Dive bar for sure

New owners, same staff. Owner making some upgrades and maybe some menu changes. They added some crunchy fried chicken wings with a crazy good sweet spicy sauce. Great addition to the menu. Don't forget the big burgers. read more

Cool little dive bar. Friendly staff. Stiff drinks. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and fell in love. It was fabulous. It had a lot of flavor and a perfect balance of cheese, beef, and peppers/onion. It was served with a side of fries - real potatoes fries! I will definitely go back again. read more

Great food and good environment, has covered smoking which is a nice addition. Beer pong tourney, pool, darts, DJ/Music. Good place to hangout with friends read more

I stopped in to have a burger and their homemade fries only to find out the management has changed. The fries were frozen instead of fresh and I have never had a mushroom burger with so few mushrooms. Also, the price hike was also unexpected. It was almost double from last time and lousy. The outside was cool due to the fact their heaters were on low to save money on Propane. When we turned it up a bit, we were scolded and told we should dress warmer. However, the heater the person who had scolded me sat under was turned on high. If She was the owner, she didn't win me over in any way. I won't bother to go back. read more

Great food and good drinks! Friendly staff and a lot of bar activities to do (pool table, darts, jukebox, big tv). They seem to have an event going on every night so it could be a fun place to check out if you're looking for something to do. Last time I went on a Saturday and there was a beer pong tourney and the prize pool was pretty big. Really cool cozy dive bar read more

Love coming to this place when I'm in town. My parents come every Friday after work, so I join them when I'm back from LA. Sometimes there is live music. Divey little place with a familial vibe. There are always regulars hanging out here. It's fun. read more

Cedar Inn Tavern - a pint of beer on a coaster - Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Just the place I like when I want a local place with typical bar food. Not fancy and shouldn't be. Straight up locals bars.

Excellent Burger! Had one with a draft Bud Light for a little over 14 bucks. I'm in love.

Best bar in the area. Fridays and Saturdays they have karaoke that starts at 9pm. Bingo on Wednesday's and starts at 7pm. Food here is awesome and cheap. read more

Gross. If you like a loud, dirty place that smells like B.O., beer burps and old grease, you've found it! Add in the group of loud, boorish and cackling drunks, and you're there. I'm not a snob, just observant. This place was just plain gross. read more

The cedar is a great local place with awesome food. They also host bingo on Wednesday's, Christmas ugly sweater parties, halloween costume parties and a dj every Sat night. read more

Stryker and Diamond Approve! Best service and food always. Back open for the 2021 year!!

Lousy service, took over an hour to get our food. They sure took care of the table of nine in front of us. They got their service right on time. read more

Great staff & Claire who runs the place is the BOMB! Daily lunch & dinner specials! Taco Tuesday, Wednesday is bar-stool bingo, lots of free prizes & bingo! Pick it up to go if your in a hurry! Drinks are always good! Ask Doug for a filthy, dirty martini! You won't be let down! read more

We've been to the Cedar many times and always enjoy the company of the old veterans that are a fixture at the place. On our last visit, we closed our tab at $160, only to see later on that the staff had added an additional $15 to our ticket. We will never go back. read more

I've been here a few times. I usually has the same slightly older military crowd. They do a karaoke night and have two pool tables. Its a decent place if you are looking for a night cap. No dancing or drama, just an easy going bar with a smoking porch out back. read more

This place has good food and beer. Definitely a home grown restaurant. The main reason I didn't rate it a fifth star was because some asshole was yelling across the bar to have a conversation with another patron. Yes, got it, it's a bar. But the restaurant/bar as a whole shouldn't have to be subject to a nuisance like that and the staff should make an effort to recognize when someone has had too much to drink or way to keep the environment enjoyable for everyone. The theme is awesome, cedar interior. There is a moldy mildew smell that I couldn't get past, another reason for not rating a fifth star. The bathroom smelled like piss, not surprising for a bar, but it is something to improve. read more

Came here for a social gathering. Ordered a blue cheese burger that was great. I love gourmet burgers, and this bar really blew my taste buds away. I don't drink alcohol, so I usually don't go to bars, but I can see me coming back here again just to get another burger. read more

It's just a neighborhood tavern. Nothing extraordinary. Staffs weren't bad when I was there at night for some beer however when my friend and I went there during the lunch time for some burgers, there were several seniors and starring at us it was totally creepy and a staff behind the bar, she didn't even take our order and just walking around and messing with her cellphone. So we just walked out. If you live around the place, go check out when you want some beer at night. read more

I love the small town feel of this place! Absolutely love karaoke night. Their chicken fingers are really yummy. The parking lot is small so it always looks crowded when it's actually not. The bartender is beyond friendly and attentive. I look forward to coming back!! read more

Fast, friendly service, heated smoking area, and pool tables that aren't beat to hell

First time visitor..Food was absolutely great..Bingo night was alot of fun..Will definitely be back

Under new ownership. Burgers are now not the best deal in town. Using a cheap cardboard bun, no more fresh cut fries and the burger patties are smaller.... back to red robin.... read more

We went to the Cedar Inn with some of our neighbors from 'Jubilee' and it was great. They said it was rather like a 'dive bar', but we've been in 'dive bars' and didn't feel the Cedar Inn qualified as one at all...It's clean, with cedar paneling [thus the name, I guess !]. On Thursday nights, [when we went] they have a cowboy type guy singing and playing his guitar..which is very fun !! What impressed us, is they make amazing drinks !!- I had the best Cosmo ever and it was $6.00 !! The burgers and fries were little overcooked, [especially the fries !!], but it was very busy, and everyone wanting burgers, so we gave some slack to the amazing woman who owns the place, was making drinks plus taking orders and serving everyone...[she is pretty amazing !!]... We will definitely be back..and I can't wait to order another 'Cosmo' !! read more

Love this place dj is super cool. Never feel like damn that was an exspensive beer. Bartender is super upbeat and works her little butt off and actually looks like she enjoys her job. All in all my favorite bar in town read more

Great lil bar looks like not much on the outside but inside is really nice. It's clean and has nice seats. Great atmosphere really nice people. The bartender is really friendly. Last night they had a live band which was cool. The other times was karaoke and mixed genres of music. My hubby loves to play pool too. So if you haven't checked it out it is a must! read more
