I haven't been to the Pastime in quite a while, but so glad I went back. Our service was over the top excellent! The food was delicious as well. We will definitely go back! read more

Nice place to hangout and eat but Watch out for your vehicle when you park it on the street. People will hit your vehicle and damage it and just drive off and not care. Makes you wonder is it worth your vehicle going there? Be wary. That is the reason I'm giving it a one because people like that destroy a place. It's a shame. I personally don't ever want to leave my vehicle unattended there ever. It's not safe.... read more

We went in Sunday night with my brother & sis-in-law for dinner. It's an old place, rustic but interesting. I ordered a patty melt that was delicious and the other 3 peeps had the Sunday special,cheeseburger with fries. They said they were good, a little salty, but enjoyed them. I had a dirty martini w/ gin,simply perfect I thought and they had a beer and soft drinks. The bartender/ waitress was very nice,friendly & quick with our drink orders. The menu was full of sandwiches, burgers and salads. Along with lots of appetizers it was hard to decide what to have! Overall we were happy and will definitely be back for more! read more

Worst experience and food I've ever had. Dogs in there everywhere and you get your food and you get hair in your food. Gross. Dirty. Owner was so unprofessional. read more

The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. Recommend for locals and those just passing through Castle Rock. read more

Pastime Tavern - Patty melt, chicken bacon ranch sandwich, and handcut fries. - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

Okay... well now... Not what I expected. Honestly in a small town, with a bar named Pasttime, which is the same name of a bar where I live that smells like pee This place is actually refreshing. Clean for a bar. Not a dark dungeon. Heard the food is great but didn't indulge. The bartender Patrick was fantastic. Extremely nice. Attentive and pleasant. Not gunna lie, I know usually 8 times out of 10 small town bars can be full of people who don't like out of towners. But this was not the case as we were respectful and nice. Also for the "Horn-Y Room" *photos included* read more

Still five stars. The prices for the specials is better than I've seen anywhere else. Usually we order a well drink and it's usually strong depending on the server. We've had need to pass through nearly every week and this is our go to destination for our return trips. If you're the kind of person that prefers a hipster ambiance and paying $15.00 for a tiny shish kabob skewer, then this is not the place for you. On the other hand, if you like a place that's been around forever and has the feel of a couch that's somewhat stained and worn with some stuffing coming out but hugs you like an old friend, then this is the place to go. read more

We decided to explore Castle Rock for Valentine's Day. Winding up at the Pastime at lunchtime, we were initially unsure of our decision. We were clearly being sized up by the locals at the bar when we walked in. Everything changed when our friendly server showed up at our table. Quick to offer beer tastings for the tap, she set us at ease. We ordered the Hawaiian burger and the mushroom/Swiss burger and split them. Wow! The burgers were delicious! Juicy, flavorful... yum. The first and ketchup were average. Tots better than fries. That's the reason for 4 out of 5. We will go back to Castle Rock for those burgers. read more

An ok place to use as a watering hole but the food has gone down hill drastically. The service is hit and miss. We won't go back under this ownership. read more

Cool local spot with friendly and welcoming service and good drinks. Will definitely go back!

We have loved coming to this local pub for the last year since moving to Castlerock, but now I want to make sure that I give a critique of this great little bar. Judy served us this evening, and I could not believe how good the food was and the diligence of the management and making sure that our food was good and drinks were served on time. This is a great place to stop, if you happen to be by Castlerock, Washington. Everything is priced right and not too expensive and the food was served fresh and hot and right to our satisfaction. I can't wait till we come here next time. read more

I come here at least once a week. I love the atmosphere and the staff is always amazing. Friday night clam chowder as well as taco Tuesday is to die for. read more

I love that they have the pull tabs game! We sat and played for an hour and I can tell you, it's very addictive even if there is no brain power required. It's like the slots and you get excited winning a quarter. I also love the cabin-ish decor of elk horns. Not that I would ever kill an elk, or any other animal. But, I can appreciate the feel of being somewhere far outside the city. The fact that they have a room full of elk horns and call it the 'Horny Room" is hysterical. I can never get enough bar food, so this is a great spot for that. Not that my doctor and cholesterol level would thank me. I think this may be the only bar in town, so it has that going for itself. lol Kidding aside, small town people are nice and the staff was great. If you are passing through, go in for a burger or some pull tabs. You may walk out a winner and make enough to pay for a beer! lol read more

Not that great anymore. We go on Taco Tuesday every week. We meet with friends that go most Tuesdays. We don't know how the tacos are going to be from one week to the next. It probably depends on who makes them. Sometimes they are stuffed full, sometimes have very little in them. Sometimes no tomato, or no olive,sometimes very little lettuce. If you want jalapenos you may or may not get them. If you don't want jalapenos you may get them anyway. They can write down the order and still not get it right. We get charged a different price from week to week, even though we order the exact same thing every week. We all used to enjoy getting together on Tuesday at the Pastime, but we may need to find another place for Taco Tuesday. I have to admit I am sad about this, because I have always loved this bar and have spent quite a lot of time in it in my younger years. read more

Fantastic burgers and hosts ... great place. Just passing through town and stopped in ... glad we did.

Pastime Saloon is truly a good place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. If you're in on a Tuesday, you will find that, although it's not a Mexican bar or restaurant, they have a really good Taco Tuesday. They have both hard shell (corn tortillas) and soft shell (flour tortillas) that are FILLED. A great bargain. The atmosphere is friendly, the service very good and the prices are reasonable. read more

I love this dive bar for many reasons: Met my fiancé here Poker every Monday at 7pm Mix drinks are always stiff Wide selection of tap and bottled beer Tons of pull tabs Huge burgers n to me some of the best bar food around Bartenders always there to replace your drink Just a down to earth home town bar read more

Great spot in the humble Northwest. Choices abound for your thirsting body. Lots of beers and liqs for your desire. Classic American-bar decor. Great pub food if I do say so myself. Seriously. As with this area in the country, the locals make this place extra enjoyable. If you're lucky, you'll even get to see the horse that bartends here from time to time... read more

Great burgers, home fries and chicken salad! Bartender's always friendly. Drinks are inexpensive and well made! read more

Pastime Tavern - Monday night poker! ;) - Bars Near Me - Castle Rock, Washington

I was in the area with friends for a camping trip. We decided to go into town to grab some drinks and we were bored and felt like our time was wasted when we chose to give our business to this joke of a bar. First the bar tender had an attitude and was rude before we even ordered drinks. Once we had ordered, we did not get our drinks for Almost 20 minutes even though the bar was nearly empty. This was the worst service that I have ever experienced in my life and I would be embarrassed to ever take anyone I knew here again. 10/10 would not recommend. 1 star is generous. read more

This place was awesome waitresses and people were amazing. We had such a great time there. If we had to be there again would definitely come back. So cool so nice!!! read more

Great place for really good service, good all around food, good friendly people in a rustic eclectic atmosphere that is geared to the loggers and hunters of the PNW. They serve me up one of the best hamburgers I've had and when they substituted a salad for me in place of fries, they didn't charge me extra. And their salads are more than just lettuce with a crouton! I also ordered peanut butter on the side, as I like that on my burgers, and they don't charge extra. Plus you'll get a good strong drink as well. The only complaint, if it is one, is that the pool table is a little too well 'loved' along with the cue sticks. other than that, I'm as happy as a clam at high tide there. we will go back! May even become a regular LOL! This is a great place... read more

My husband and I decided to give this place a whirl for lunch a few days ago. We split the seafood platter. It is worth every cent that they charge. My side salad was presented very well and I do believe that the tartar sauce and bleu cheese dressing was homemade. I highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat. We are adding the Pastime to our regular dining rotation. read more

I love this bar!!! Me and my fiance come here often love the staff the owner is even great... Good food, great prices and amazing conversation!! read more

We came in at 9:30 pm. Starving. Every other place around was closed. We got awesome service from Clayton and amazing food. I am so glad that this is where we ended up tonight!!! read more

Great atmosohere, service and food. I enjoy the burgers and krinkle cut fries.

The pasttime is the best bar in town. I enjoy the food but the drinks are on point! Plenty of seating pick your music watch a variety of sports and shows on multiple tvs. One pool table with seats near it to watch read more

Meh. Really nice people but it could use a few things. The food had potential but you could taste the oil they cooked it in as if the oil was old. Prices are reasonable but it needs to be cleaned up a bit in many aspects. read more

This is my favorite place after a long workday. For the most part, the bartends are personable. They have 10 cent pulltabs for fun stuff, and the food is good. Would be nice if the menu would vary some, but it is big enough to keep you interested. read more

Great find. Awesome waitresses, excellent burgers, good choice of beer. And the bar is amazing! 1928 carved dark wood ... paneling and antlers everywhere. read more

This is one of our favorite spots to enjoy a strong drink and some fantastic food....although the slapjaws can ruin your evening if you go before the wives call them home. Treat the bartenders well and they will be sure you leave satisfied. read more
