This is my "go to" martini place in Olympia! The drinks are well made and balanced. I always get a gin martini. The bartenders are friendly and the service is great. I'm never waiting. It also has an old school atmosphere. Perfect for a martini after dinner. read more

Cheeky Martini Lounge - Decent drink selection - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Such a fun experience, great people, and a good vibe - always. Highly recommend! Great food and drinks - everyone who works there is super friendly. read more

Checked it out last night (Saturday) and was really happy with the service, quality of drink ingredients, and the overall vibe of the venue. Service was wonderful! We never had to ask for refills and we tried quite a few of the martinis amongst the five of us and were not disappointed by a single one! Of note - with vegan ingredients, I left feeling lighter and a more refreshing feeling from the drinks rather than weighted down and uncomfortable. If you're looking for a cool place to sip a fancy drink at a decent price point, check them out! read more

Cheeky Martini Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Super happy to see this delightfully spacious & dark lounge still going strong. I remember seeing the grand opening updates with a cool kind of dark, whimsical, somewhat witchy/goth and "cheeky" aesthetic and thought, "alright, I need to scope it out." Just a few years later... ta da! Inside still holds true. Spacious dark speakeasy with a side of "cool weird(?)". I dig the astrological touch in the bar shelf arc wall elements up top. The menu size seems just right for the kitchen size. A pleasant mix of super wholesome salads and small bite nibbles. Next time, I can try some o' dat. They used to be 100% vegan but added egg white options for drinks. For now, I asked George(?) if she/they could whip me up a nice simple-not-too-frilly mocktail. After a few preferences, I tried my 1st ever 0-proof spirit (Ritual) with a nice refreshing taste mixed in from them. I hit a weird buzz feeling near half-way through so I just stopped; after a few moments I could take a few more sips. Welcoming & cool staff. Tucked away right there in downtown Olympia walking distance to many cool spots in town. Whether you're a curious new mocktail drinker like me (I usually do NA beers) or a seasoned buzz slushie, this unique spot is worth a shot (no pun intended). Pull up at the bar seats and eye the glorious neon bikini butt after dark. read more

Delicious hand crafted cocktails, so glad I found this gem, and great music btw. Service was excellent, will definitely be back. read more

Cheeky Martini Lounge - Spicy Pineapple Marg. Highly recommend - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This place has been on my list of places to check out since it opened and inspired me to take a trip to Olympia. I'm loving all the new vegan places popping up here. I love the idea of a vegan martini bar and even though I hate paying high prices for fancy drinks, I had to try it. This place is teeny and very intimate, kind of giving you a speakeasy feel especially with all the current covid precautions. I imagine it fills up fast during non covid times and may feel a bit cramped. There's a food menu and I opted to have the cheeze plate and found it all to be quite delicious. Sounds like they use Miyokos cheese which I love. The bruschetta and tapenade that came along with it were very good as well. My martini was fabulous, I have never had such a delicious drink, could be since I don't often opt for these types of fancy drinks, but I like to believe this one was extraordinary. My partner opted for a much more boring drink and I think he made a bad choice. I do hope to make it back here again someday, hopefully in a time when things seem more normal, but I am happy the remain open and able to provide tasty vegan options. read more

Simply the best, love this cocktail lounge and the great people who work there. We've visited Olympia twice this calendar year and loved the Cheeky Martini both times. Not only are their drinks fantastic, but we were treated like we were regular friends. Even with 4 months between our 1 night visit/, per trip, both of these amazing people remembered us! Such a nice feeling and SO much fun, I highly highly recommend if you like friendly people and amazing cocktails! read more

Janine was so professional. the cocktails are actually creative and so much variety. highly recommend.

A cool place in Olympia to visit if you're in town. They specialize in martinis and it's a cute little place to enjoy them in. I had an espresso martini and it definitely was one of the better ones I've had in my lifetime. My one complaint is the price of the martinis. It's probably the most expensive martini I've ever paid for. Outside of that, servers were nice. This is a smaller bar situation, so definitely consider coming with a smaller crowd or stopping for a quick one on your bar run! read more

What a fun awesome place to grab a cocktail before or after dinner. The staff is wonderful. Made excellent recommendations, the wife and I had a great experience! Will be back for sure. read more

Cheeky Martini Lounge - Cheeky whiskey sour, yummy. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

A woman owned, downtown, vegan, martini bar? Yes. Yes. Yes. I had a blue Hawaiian martini and it was so tasty. We split an app board which had vegan cheese that I was a bit concerned about. It did have a different consistency but it ended up melding well with the nuts, bread and jam they had on the board. This will be our new favorite date spot. They are open late too which is great for downtown. Give it a try! read more

Great cocktails and food. Old school lounge vibe. Great place to sit and catch up or to rev up before a show.

Fun ambiance and yummy food/drinks. Unique daily cocktail and great service + conversation.

To begin with, the staff are just charismatic, delightful, and so charming. The martini menu is fun, evolving and seasonal...also quite delicious! I will admit that I made a face at vegan cheese, at first, but wowza!!! It was so good! Be aware of your surroundings or you'll miss it! It's a small door on a busy street on the corner of 4th and Washington...don't miss it! You'll be enchanted with the ladies behind the bar, the ambiance of the cozy setting and the delights from the bar! read more

I came here with a girlfriend for happy hour. It was pleasant and I had a really good dirty gin martini in a cool glass. The bartender was really nice and informative. My friend tried the bartenders choice and she was served a very creative drink we were so impressed! It's a cute place for a date or night out with friends for fancy drinks. read more

It has the trappings and décor for a martini bar. The staff is nice and seem capable. The small plates during happy hour are a great value and good themselves. The humus is very nice, the warm pita bread that comes with it, is an added touch. The happy hour prices are inline with being a value, after that I would be very hesitant to pay that much for their drinks though. What I noticed is that very little of their liquor is a recognizable brand. It seems to be a distributers "special brand" with labels that are fanciful and made to have that boutique look. The liquor inside is nothing worth noting and best used with mixers. The bar tender uses a jigger, which to me is not a good thing and supports the idea that it is all about the margins and the reason for the generic boutique booze. The place is a nice addition to the area and does encourage returning verse drinking at one of the dives around the corner. read more

The chocolate martini was to DIE for! And dairy-free?! You wouldn't believe it, they are better than the ones at the Chocolate Bar in Vegas! I also tried a cocktail made from mezcal that was delicious too. The ladies who work there are so sweet, a nice change from some of the bars in Olympia. I will be back for the rest of the menu! read more

Stopped by after a show at Washington Center. Great drink selection, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Such an amazing queer cocktail experience. Try the vesper! Best shared with friends. Delicious.

Really fun spot Great cocktail menu Food menu is even better Food prep and presentation rocks it Cocktails not so much Be prepared to wait a while for the drink and maybe even ask for it to be modified as the bartenders are still feeling their way read more

Great place. Love the atmosphere. Terrific cocktails. Highly recommend an old fashioned

Loved it. Definitely a ladies night place as I felt the odd one out. The vibe was great and a wonderful dive bar atmosphere. The drinks were on point and Janna and the rest of the staff polite and engaging. While the food was small, the flavor was wonderful and still filling. The price was reasonable for what still feels high end. Will be back as one of my fancier places to go to. read more

How lovely! What a delicious and delightful discovery! Best martini I've had... and my rabid vegan friends are going to love this place!

Let me start off by saying my itty bitty (3 sip martini) was delightful. But here's where the problem starts. We were LITERALLY the only 2 people there. It took over 10 minutes for the poor bartender to 'look up' how to make the drink.... despite the fact it was a menu item. Then to add insult to injury it cost 15.50 (which is not only COMPLETELY OVERPRICED-after all, it's next door to DILLINGERS which is CHEAPER & BETTER) but the list price is $14..?? So how the girl ended up charging me $15.50 is a bit confusing. Overall, COMPLETE DISSAPOINTMENT! Went accross the street to the Spar. Don't waste your time, or money. I Know I won't make the mistake of trying this place again. Total rip off read more

As a martini lover I was hopeful when I heard a new spot had opened on 4th. Here is my tea on the situation: Interesting and off putting service, Expensive options, and poorly made martinis. Always shaken unless specified? Beware! Ask to have your martini stirred if this is your preference, their standard is to shake. Hope the owners educate themselves on the craft because it's hard to see how this will fit into the beverage scene in Olympia if you can walk down the block and get a better martini for half the price with nicer ambiance. read more

My girlfriend and I recently moved to Olympia and have been trying so hard to find our place in the bar/nightlife scene here. Cheeky offers a classy, cozy retro ambience with strong, tasty drinks.

We love Rumors and the owners so when we found out about their new venture my husband and I couldn't wait to check it out! He had the pecan pie Manhattan and I had the pumpkin apple butter martini. Both drinks were to die for!! We didn't have snacks during that visit but we will definitely be regulars and try some food next time. Super cute decor as well! read more

This place is AMAZING. The drink selection is wonderful, they have classic options but with fun little twists. We wound up trying the Cheeky Queen, hot toddy, ginger snap old fashioned, rodrigo Roy, and pecan pie Manhattan. Our bartender Jennifer was so knowledgeable and made a killer cocktail. The environment is so intimate and comfortable. This place is a must. read more

Super yummy, fresh martinis. Fun spot and nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely go back
