    French dip
    Miriam L.

    Had a great night at Nicole's. Decorated really nicely for the holidays and the staff was really nice. Tried the French dip and cheese curds and both were good. Others in my group tried the cocktails and commented there was only one vodka cocktail but they did like the one they had...will def be back!

    This bar is amazing. The service was great. The vibe was just so welcoming and fun. Nicole hosted our group with so much love, even donating to our pet food drive. This place went above and beyond. Thank you!!!

    Great food and drinks. The wait staff were kind and recommended some of the drink specials. The food was fresh. We were with a small group, and all the food looked amazing. The location has a few private rooms. A few booths and some high and low tables. Things to know. 1. Parking can be scarce. After 5pm parking on streets are free. 2. You will be charged a fee if you use credit cards. So bring cash. 3. They have a great happy hour menu. Plan on going back again soon.

    When we first moved to Olympia, there were not many bars that I was a fan of because most of them are dive bars. I finally found a bar that I feel comfortable at and that is Nicole's bar. It is a fun and safe environment and I enjoy the events with live music, dancing and they have a wonderful DJ as well. We love the happy hour and best cheese curds around. It is a great place to host a party, date night or girls night! 10/10

    Good food, relaxed ambiance, and quality service. I ate lunch here with my parents and we really enjoyed the wings, soup, and burgers!

    We came in at 9:15 AM on Saturday, and Nicole's had just opened up for the day-we were seated and ordered our food within 10 minutes, and were out and about in 30! I ordered their Avocado toast. This was a wonderful choice-not only did it taste amazing with the avocado, toasted wheat bread, sun dried tomato and pickled onion, and hot sauce (I added myself), but it was a very good value for what I ordered! I appreciated that our waiter brought out the avocado toast in halves so we could all eat our dishes at the same time-I had four pieces total, but they brought out two to start and brought two more. Normally this would all be plated together, but we had to get going due to our own plans. This was so considerate and helpful to us. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Excellent service, and what a cool spot!

    Rude employees, drinks are over priced. I paid a cover but all the tables were taken or reserved. I would not recommend this establishment.

    Loved the food! We had a group of six and everyone was happy with their meal. I loved the clam…read morechowder! It wasn't what I think of when ordering clam chowder but it was delicious! The fries are some of the best fries we have a in a long time. My smash burger was delicious. The person with the classic burger was very happy. Two in our party got the raspberry rhubarb spritz (no alcohol) and loved them. They were surprised the drink came with a free refill. Great service! And OH! The Happy Hour! Great food at wonderful prices. I would love to see the HH later in the afternoon so we could better justify a drink! I did have issues with the menu. It is not well laid out. Difficult to read with all the items lined up in paragraphs, squished together. I kept thinking it was information to read about the restaurant. The Happy Hour menu was a lot easier to read and order from.

    Angie was an awesome server helping with popular (not just the most expensive) choices. We went for…read moredrinks & snacks. Creative cocktail menu - but with all the staples. No skimp on my Bulleit Old Fashioned - it was a FULL pour cocktail!! We had yummy Chicken Wings (Peanut Sauce) / Fish Tacos / we split the Crab Roll with fries (expensive but worth it.) The Baby Boomer/GenExer muzac was nice as was the decor. We've been during live music - they have a perfect setup for a live band - but didn't do full menu that night. This visit was intimate; Angie (and all the staff) made it an enjoyable experience.

    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).

    I can go to the Crypt dressed as I want, grab a drink and a booth, sit in the darkness and be alone…read morewith myself and my copy of Frankenstein, if I so desire. In other words, it's just my thing. I don't need a bar to have a food menu. I don't need it to take credit cards. I don't need it to have TVs lining the walls or be blasting the latest dance music. I do need it to be a place where I can nurse a few drinks and be with myself (or my friends) without such distractions, and the Crypt fits that bill perfectly. BTW, if you need to have the aforementioned things, there are a dozen other places for you to go near downtown. If you want to be more social, or party with a bigger group, they have a patio. It's actually really nice out there during the summer, hanging out with the other weirdos. It's a shame we can't have clove cigarettes anymore. If you know, you know. They usually have some awesome events going on most nights of the week, too, with a little something for everyone. On the bar side, the drinks are excellent (try the Rose Rickey) and the staff has always been friendly. The seasonal cocktails can be pricey, but they're damn good, and you're worth the treat. Go there.

This place is the worst goth/metal bar I've ever been.
