Fun dive bar! Cozy environment. My friends and I stopped by after a wine tasting nearby and wanted to get some food and more drinks, of course. This was the best spot for exactly that! They have karaoke every night, cider on tap (my fav) and a full menu! read more

This is a solid bar. Karaoke is everyday of the week, heck yeah!!! The food and drinks are good. Vibes are chill and everyone minds their business and is friendly. The only con for me was cleanliness. The bartender was handling cash but then with bare hands immediately still squeezing and throwing limes in the drinks without washing her hands. But at a bar ya see this stuff sometimes so maybe don't get a cocktail or one with lime wedges to avoid cross contamination...lol but not lol. I still really enjoyed my time here so they still get a 5 stars from me. The food was what I came for along with the karaoke and damn the food impressed me. Had to get the cheese curds of course and the fried pickle spears. Yum. I did not expect the street carnitas tacos to be good but honestly they did that. The tacos and salsa were tasty and I'm picky so they def did that. I was very happy with the food here. The cocktails were good but nothing memorable. Karaoke everyday of the week is what I'm talking about! They even have a pool table in the back. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. The people doing karaoke were having fun and not judgmental at all which is super welcoming. Definitely had some talented singers doing the karaoke. My fav part of the night was the Karaoke DJ singing LMFAO Sexy and I know it!!! The DJ is so cool and vibes!! Can't wait to return! read more

I love this place! There aren't many good places in Redmond for drinks, but this makes up for it! There are happy hour options and specials every day of the week, and the vibe is super chill. It's very divey, but that's nice for Redmond. Food and drinks are crazy cheap! All the bartenders and people working here are the best. They're super nice and friendly, which has made this place one of my spots since I've moved to the area. I couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

I've been to Palmers a handful of times for karaoke, and ALWAYS had a great time, even when the place was slammed. I hyped up the place to some friends who had never been, and we chose to go there from a myriad other places we could have gone to. But the karaoke was extremely disappointing. We were 4 singers, and were all told it would be about an hour wait to sing, which we were totally fine with. After about an hour, our first friend got to go and sing. Then the KJ called out the name of another in our group. He went up to sing, even put some money in the jar when he went up, but the KJ wandered away to talk to people in the bar, which they had been doing the whole time we were there. When they came back, my friend asked when they would start the song, and the KJ point blank said "It's not your turn yet." We heard his name called, there was no mistake. Then the KJ called out another name. So we waited to see if they were going to call out my friend again, but instead called up a singer that had JUST SUNG 4 songs ago. And one singer had sung three times in the time we were there. I profusely apologized to my friends for feeling like I wasted the night by taking them there. The bar staff were super friendly, kind, and accommodating, so that was nice. But not going to come back to karaoke, it was a bad way to end what was a good night out with friends. read more

I came back today cause I came yesterday and the witches that took me her name is Maya. She is an amazing waitress and she's a bartender as well. She apologized yesterday. I really appreciate that but she did that right there. I am very happy that she did that I will continue to come back. I was gonna come back anyways, even with what happened yesterday. I understand that we're busy because only two servers when I came yesterday in The noon, but I understand but I appreciate that she does so much. I will come back again. I appreciate that you know they did that for me read more

Definite dive bar here. It was pretty slow when I went in but they do host events like trivia at times. I was looking for a spot to watch a game and don't think I'd recommend Palmers for that scenario. If you're looking to drink a beer and buy some pull tabs though, this is your spot. read more

A few months back I reserved a few tables at this place for a company karaoke party on a Saturday night with all managers (risky). Safe to say that everyone loved it and now I'm getting ready to book another party after multiple requests. The food is 7/10 - I loved the fried pickles and I had a couple wings which were good, but I'd try something different next time. Others ordered sandwiches and other sides and seemed to like them. The service was great as the KJ got all our names added to the karaoke list before he even got his set-up running. We also had a great server (I forgot his name - so sorry!!! I think it might have been Ian??) who started us off with a couple food orders and our initial drink order. The expectation was set for us that we would get a better experience going to the bar whenever we want another drink/add more food to our tabs. I love that they were honest about this from the get-go because it gets CRAZY crowded on a Saturday night and our tables were adjacent to the dance floor. Excellent people-watching entertainment. Karaoke starts at 8pm, our party got there at 7pm. Karaoke process here is that the KJ puts your name on a list, you give him your song when it's your turn, your name stays on the rotation until you tell him you're done. There are A LOT of names in the rotation. I sang my first song at 8:15 and my second song after midnight, everyone in between only sang once. Get there early if you want to sing early. read more

Great food, good prices and friendly fun staff, highly recommend this place! Great place to meet up for drinks and/or food

Palmers East in Redmond feels like the dive bar your mom might go to; unpretentious and barebones, but with a clean twist. It has all the elements of a classic dive: karaoke, loyal locals, and tasty bar food. But unlike your typical watering hole, Palmers surprises with tidy floors, friendly service, and even a decent wine list. It's got that Redmond charm where the grit is more nostalgic than grimy. read more

Great service great food good atmosphere friendly and attentive staff everyone's very good at their job especially Ashley and Katy. And Myia. read more

When I moved to WA in 2017 Palmers immediately became my home/favorite spot to be. The food is incredible with daily specials, a pool room and they have karaoke 7 nights a week. There's also trivia and really fun events like pumpkin carving for the family, costume contests for karaoke, karaoke games, poker and so much more. Oh, they also offer a huge list of nonalcoholic options with beer and mocktails!! The owner of this place we all call our chosen family, Tommy, is a compassionate, hard working man who takes care of his employees and customers. A diamond in the ruff. The rest of the staff are also incredible human beings. They are personable, quick, witty and a lot of them have been there for years. Some 20!! That says a lot for a business. They also have affordable prices for the downtown Redmond area where things can be a bit expensive. Great people, environment, food, entertainment and atmosphere. Kid friendly till 10pm when it's 21 and older. read more

Ashley has a proper accent. So much character. Great drinks and food. Wonderful. I love it all.

I'm a Tuesday lunch regular with my 'mates. We discovered Palmer's years ago. Tommy, you run a great place. Maya and Katie always treat us like we're family, know what we drink and what we eat. Although we don't get to see Katie as much as we used to. We love this place, always a greeting when we come in and a hearty farewell. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday after leaving Northwest Brewing for bad service! Walked into Palmers and it was like getting home after a bad day at work. Welcomed by the BT Maya. Super friendly helpful and beautiful smile. Appetizers were on point and the pitcher of Bodi was chill. Plus they have karaoke every night! Love this place! read more

Honestly I've been coming to palmers a couple times a year since I was about 13 and first moved to the U.S. it used to be good with friendly staff who were attentive but now that I'm older and in my 20s it's not the same. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're under the age of 30 or look younger because you will be ignored almost completely. This is the 3rd time I've come to palmers and I've had almost no service unless I flag someone down I am not asked if I want drinks or food even on a slow day. When I finally get my food and drinks and I'm done with them I will sit and wait for more than 45 minutes before I eventually just get up and wait in line at the bar to pay or get a to go box. I'm very disappointed because I remember how good the service used to be. I feel like they just expect young people not to tip so they treat them poorly but that's just not the case because I always tip at least 20%. Unfortunately I think I just have to bite the bullet and find somewhere else to eat and drink because going here genuinely just ruins my night with how ignored I feel. read more

First time into Palmers. The service was great. Our server, who we think was the owner was fabulous - very attentive and let us stay and visit without the pressure of moving on. The food was great, too. Definitely need to come check out Palmers if you've never been. We will definitely be back. read more

Great comfy bar! The staff have great vibes and are very attentive. They have specials every day with a standard American food menu that is affordable and yummy. We got got the cheeseburger with bacon and spicy sriracha fries (they have a good kick for sure) and the western burger with garlic fries. It was all solid good food, very flavorful and great for the price. The music can be a tad too loud when you just want to go to converse with friends but that's because they bring the DJ in around 8pm and they have karaoke at 9pm every night. Other lil tidbits, there's one pool table in the back. There's parking on the street and in the lot across the street. read more

100% will return again. Service was great, and the food was also surprisingly good! Everything is SO affordable so there really isn't a reason you shouldn't try this place out. 3 beers, 2 ciders, and 2 entrees (Reuben and French dip) were $50! Only sat on the outdoor patio, but it was comfortable. They have tents up and heaters still! read more

I've heard good things about Palmers and appreciate a good dive bar. They have a parking lot across the street which is convenient since street parking is limited. They also have TV's which is good for catching a game. The food was decent and they have a good selection of local beers. The reason I'm giving them three stars is because of the bait and switch when it comes to pricing. I ordered the soup and salad, which they charged me for. They also added an extra surcharge for soup and another one for the salad. I've never been charged extra for ordering something straight off the menu so these two extra surprise charges were unexpected and disappointing. I usually bring this up to the staff, but they couldn't keep up with the orders which meant that many customers had to wait quite awhile for their orders. They could probably use an extra bartender, although I know how tough it is to find staff so I don't blame them for the wait times. read more

First, the drinks here are really good! I got the shameless skittle one, and it tasted amazing. The cider wasn't bad either. The tacos were overcrowded with onions. You can tell by the picture that about 2/3 of the taco was onion. They seem to have some pretty good deals that I'm willing to come check out at a later time, even breakfast! The bar stool seating in the middle is a little close to each other. So getting in and out is a little difficult. All in all, though, it was just okay. Enough for me to be curious to return! read more

This is the only place open every night until 1am in Redmond. And yes, the have karaoke every night. It's divey but... didn't I mention is the o my one open? Beggars can't be choosers.

Slow service and the food wasn't very good at all. I didn't go inside at all but the ambiance of the outdoor seating area was fine. Seems like people definitely go here more for the stuff drinks than for the food. read more

Best place for karaoke and great vibes! Big John is funny and an all around awesome DJ.

Absolute favorite hangout in Redmond! The nicest staff, a dedicated owner who takes pride in everything he does, good food and very affordable. Karaoke after 9pm draws a young crowd, and people from all walks of life and all ages enjoy the place. Kids are welcome in the restaurant during breakfast and the day, and outside seating is a favorite for dog owners and people watchers. read more

Although i'm not a common drinker, I do enjoy watching the karaoke here. The atmosphere is good, though drunk adults can cause a ruckus at any time. A special thanks to Shane, a bartender who's always looked after me in times where I did decide to get sh*t faced here. He's a sweetheart and so are the others. I'll continue to come here for the foreseeable future. read more

My friend and I had a great time here and really enjoyed the atmosphere, great service, and the fun trivia night. The food sounds amazing, so I can't wait to come back for that (in-house Prime Rib!). They have a ton of great specials, including a burger special discount for motorcyclists and bicycle riders. Shout out to Marcus and crew for your friendly hospitality and great service! read more

I'm not one to write reviews, especially since I've loved coming here ever since I turned 21... One night I was out with a bunch of my friends for their birthday. I ordered a double and it tasted like a double. Ordered another double, again, it had 2 shots. Maybe its because I pound drinks, but all the rest of the drinks i ordered were WEAK - couldn't even taste the liquor. I ended up getting 6 doubles (12 shots) and was sober by the time i left. I should have been floored. We were only there for 2.5 hours. The bill was about $130 for my drinks. I even had all my friends taste the drinks to solidify my opinion that there was barely/no alcohol in them. The bartender even has the audacity to tell me to pace myself and drink water. I knew there was nothing I could have said to the bartender to convince them that I was sober. I want to come here again, but after paying $100 for cranberry juice and being belittled, AND missing out on jello-shots because they were "out" (it was 7pm), I don't think it worth the investment... EDIT: I would edit my review since I have been a loyal customer to Palmers for the past 4 years, my boyfriend and I even had our first date here, but one bad experience was enough to negate all the great things that have happened to me in the past. The response from the owner has solidified the fact that there was no regard for accountability and instead values blame to others. Also, weird how much of a deep dive the owner took into finding every drink that I ordered. Take my review with a grain of salt. The food is good, the drinks are strong (when made correctly), and karaoke is surely a source of nightly entertainment. I understand the law of refusing to sell alcohol to those visibly intoxicated, but I had no slurred speech, there was no instability with standing, and I was able to have an "intelligent" conversation with Tim after he told me to pace myself. I was barely tipsy... I did buy 2 doubles with my card; however, 4 doubles and a shot were bought for me. I'm sure the owner can fact check me by reviewing the video footage and see my group sitting at the booth where I proceed to receive my drinks. The video also shows how most of my friends tried my drinks with distain. The drinks cost around $8 a shot. My math seems correct if I'm basing everything off tax estimates and a 20% tip... My intent was not to slander a small business but rather highlight that something was not right that night. Now I'm more uncomfortable with the response than overpaying for watered down drinks. read more

GREAT breakfast and wonderful staff! The burger and cheese steak was amazing, clam strips (just having clam strips is a win) and Chicken Fried Steak were perfect too. Bloody Mary was a delight, and my family enjoyed the mimosas. read more
