Really cool place. Definitely divey. But it's likely you know what you're getting into before you enter. I drank everything mezcal they could whip up for me. Maybe 6-7 drinks. Left barely buzzed...so their drinks are def being poured VERY lightly! Not thrilled as it's $$. But the bar itself all throughout is super cool, especially the booths in the back. I'll go back again but not for hard liquor... Just beer. Was originally going to give 4 stars cuz it's so cool but after thinking about the weak drinks and smelly bathrooms I'll go 3.5 but 3 vs. 4 since no half scores allowed. It's worth a visit for sure though.

Cryptatropa was such a fun spot! I love the horror/gothic/vampiric vibes inside and the drinks were absolutely delicious! This is definitely a great spot for anyone interested in live music, dark ambiance, and friendly CASH ONLY service! Come prepared to have a great time! There are also games and the local resident, Henry, available to say hello to/make offerings to! Haha! I will definitely be back anytime I'm in Olympia! Thanks for a lovely evening and the strong, but flavorful drink!

Cash only bar. Excellent service. Consistent with live music (I hear). I just really dig the vibe there. While it is dark, everyone is friendly. The mixed drink was rather good. $10. There is plenty of room, and you can maintain a conversation amid the music.

Super cool bar and great place in Olympia. Olympia is a chill place, but this bar is a spot definitely worth checking out. Great music and great ambience. Wish I could check it out when they have a dance night

Red glow.. so eerie.. so awesome

See all

The entrance is tucked away and then you enter a small, but tall space so you don't feel…read moreclaustrophobic. The music wasn't too loud so you weren't shouting. Almost every table was full. Cozy atmosphere. There were 3 employees that night, the woman who initially waited on us actually appeared to roll her eyes when we ordered. She seemed pretty rushed and just didn't want to work that night or something. The bartender was friendly and came for our second round and he actually seemed more welcoming and friendly. The drinks menu is a bit small (compared to other nearby bars). We got 5 drinks, one espresso one which wasn't great and the rest were alright. Nothing that made us go "Oh man, try that!" but they weren't bad either. The food, looks better than normal bar food, which I loved. We ordered "Balls of Gibralter" - North African meatballs, which were *SO GOOD*, so delicious EXCEPT the texture. The flavors were all amazing, but it was as if there was too much egg and not enough breadcrumbs because it gave the impression of being wildly undercooked, even though you could see no pink. If they were firmer, they would've been perfect. They seem to have a rotating grilled cheese special I wouldn't mind checking out next time. The ambiance-lovely. The service - meh The drinks - average The food - has a lot of potential

This was such a great find on our way to the theater! It's an old bank building and you can sit in…read morethe vault! Beautiful inside! They have a very unique and creative cocktail menu plus some amazing small plates! Our bartenders were so fun and friendly!

On my way back from March Madness in Portland, I decided to stop by this Irish pub to catch up with…read morea long-time friend. To my surprise, the place was packed with customers on a Sunday afternoon. I expected a slower pace, but it was anything but. The atmosphere was lively, with people playing pool and enjoying themselves. One of the unique features of this pub is a table game that many of you may not be familiar with. It's called Table Shuffleboard, and it's one of my favorites. I've played it a few times in Alaska, and it's a great game. To play, you simply request the pucks from the servers, and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. We ordered a couple of beers, which were fairly decent. I had the Irish Death, and my friend opted for some of the commercialized beers like Blue Moon. They also ordered some wings, which they said were very good. They recommended that if you want extra crispy wings, you should have them fried hard. The sweet potato fries were cold, but the bartender was quick to take care of that. She brought us a fresh batch in a matter of minutes. The customer service was excellent throughout our visit. I'm giving this pub a three out of five stars. I'd like to come back and try some of the food, especially in the game day environment. I'm a vegetarian, so I didn't eat much of the food we had, but I'll definitely come back and try it again. I'll also come at night to see how it is before I consider upgrading the rating. Overall, I'll be returning to this pub for a second experience.

We met up with some friends and had a wonderful experience…read more We were greeted by a kind and knowledgeable waitress Debbie. She returned several times asking for refills and if we needed anything. She is definitely a gem to this business. We appreciated her professionalism and sense of humor. Food was outstanding and fresh. Can't wait to return soon. Things to know: Seat yourself Bar to the left of entrance. Main dining to right of entrance. Family friendly (crayons and color sheet for kiddos).
