My boyfriend and I live in different towns and where we love getting together and socializing with friends, we have made this place just for us. We call it "our secret bar" when we want to get out together on an evening and not run into anybody we know. We love the patio. It is so cute and has some private little nooks where other patrons aren't so close that they are overhearing our conversations. The wait staff is always so nice. The drinks and food are/is always good. We love the potato skins. read more

Super nice staff, service is prompt and has a nice environment. Food was great as well

Great people, good food and very good selection of beer. I made new friends. Just a fun bar. read more

I want to love this place because it's close to my house but it misses the mark on a few things. They don't have a fryer. They give you lays chips with your sandwiches. 2/4 of my visits the staff seemed annoyed we were there and ordering stuff. We could see that they were busy and we were very patient. It was weird and off putting. Oh and the parking lot is small and a one way in/out. All that being said, the patio is big, the drinks are cheap and the bathrooms are clean. So depending on what's most important to you, you might like this place! read more

Pints is fantastic! Random find while driving with the dog along I5. Dogs allowed on the patio Staff are great! Plenty of beers on tap as well as a full bar Enjoyed the hummus platter and a Reuben. All of it was huge portions and tasted great! Really love the outdoor seating but they have a nice old school bar inside. Definitely recommend stopping in! read more

It's always nice coming to Pints for a cold one after a busy morning. I do love the round bar, it gives a great feeling of community. Plenty of TVs to catch the games, regardless of what sport you want to watch. The pretzels are the size of a steering wheel and delicious. Great selection of beers. I'd probably stop in more for a Mimosa or French 75 if they had something other than Prosecco to make them with. Good Vibes read more

Pints Barn - a pint of beer on the bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

I'm of two minds about this place It's a great location because when I finish walking the dogs at Tumwater Falls, it's fun to stop by to get a nosh and a beer. It's also across the street from Western Meats so you can stop by there afterwards and pick up some steaks or meat pies for dinner. I also like the blue collar ambiance of the day drinkers here. They're definitely locals and they're a nice quiet group just hanging out. When summer rolls around, this place is a lot more fun. The hipsters come out and hang with their dogs in the patio, ordering cheese plates and charcuterie boards and mangoritas. I'm all about that and when the weather is warm, this is a really fun place to hang out. The thing I'm divided about is the food. Everything I've had is mediocre. The charcuterie board is heavy on salt, from the mustard to the sauerkraut so even though the parts are tasty, it also ends up all tasting the same. The sausages we had were also a little too spicy for my taste and the only one I liked had no spice. The cheese plate is nothing of note. I never remember the cheeses I've had here, and I like thinking about cheese. Still, I'm giving this place four stars because when summer comes around, it's a fun place to be. Turn on the string lights in the back when the place gets dark and it's quite lovely. read more

Super delish food, friendly staff, good drinks. Had the buffalo chicken sandwich and a blackberry cider ! yum. Love the vibe here. Will def come back! Ty pints barn! read more

Stopped by Pints Barn today with my mother and my service dog, and we had such a great experience. We ordered the hummus plate and a few beers--both were excellent. The food was incredibly fresh (I literally watched our bartender, Laura, slice the vegetables by hand!). Laura was warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. It's not often you find a place with such genuine service and attention to detail. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommend! read more

Food and service was phenomenal. Cozy comfortable atmosphere. Easily recommend for a work party, bros night, or quick stop for a bite

You have to stand in line at the bar for your drink. Ambiance was busy but everyone was nice. Extra love for the bartender who was half Pete Davidson and half Freddie Mercury. Specialty drinks were around $10. Not terribly strong. Overall, the bill for two gals in bad relationships was just under $50. The deep fryer was out but... did I mention the bartender? read more

We had lunch on Saturday and it was so good!! The pretzel and cheese were perfect and our sandwiches were amazing!! They had my favorite backwoods brewery beer! Our bartender/server was great! Can't wait to go back read more

Wow, what a great find, cool place, great atmosphere, great food. Will make this a regular stop as we're passing through.

Staff is efficient and friendly. Great beer selection and an awesome outdoor patio for warm days. The Chuckwagon is the best beef sandwich I've ever had. Great place for lunch. The only thing they need to add is French or sweet potato fries to the menu. read more

We live a few hours away from Tumwater, but whenever we drive through the area - we always try to stop at Pints Barn. It's an amazing place with great food, awesome decor and atmosphere as well as friendly staff. Thank you, Kaia, for taking such good care of us during our visit a week ago! read more

Order the chicken tikka masala pizza. You will thank me. It was super perfect. Amazing Yumminess!

Ok second time here. Waited to see if it was a fluke that this local bar had great sandwiches. Well yes, they are amazing. Rueben is outstanding and the Chuckwagon was amazing today! I will come back anytime when o want a sandwich and beer before my Costco run!!! Come and check this place out do t think just order!!! No picture cause I ate too fast. read more

Excellent rueben. Guiness on tap. Got to get the right server, or eat outside. Olympia has an amazing patio.

We're from out of town and we were really looking forward to eating here after visiting the park nearby. Unfortunately, we barely made it through the door before we were told we could not eat there. We were in a group of all adults and one 10 year old and without even saying hello the bartender said "it's 21 plus." Mind you it's noon on a Friday at this point. We asked if we would be able to sit outside since we wouldn't be in the bar area and were told no. She did provide us with an additional place to go, but her delivery was not friendly or kind and she said it right in front of everyone including the child with us. Very unpleasant experience for the 45 seconds we were allowed in there. I understand rules are rules (even if they don't seem to make much sense), but it could've been handled much more kindly and professionally. read more

Nice place, good bar food and great drinks. Quiet, not huge, outside looks nice as well, I wish they had more than 2 dart's board and that it wasn't in front of a table so you're not blocking someone's view or Vice versa. read more

Excellent sandwiches. Good prices. Perfect tavern atmosphere. Nice crowd that hangs out in afternoon too.

We were looking for an evening light dinner and brews - found both here. Ordered inside, sat outside to take advantage of nice weather, comfortable and roomy though the ashtray was overflowing and stinky. Sandwiches were fine, the beer list was varied and I was able to choose a small serving - loved that! We were in the Tumwater location. read more

Food is good for the price. The service prompt. A sports bar vibe. We will be back.

Great Burger, friendly hosts and good atmosphere. Local beers on tap were great. Also good music.

Beer selection wasn't even that great for a place called Pints Barn. Service was slow and unfriendly. Atmosphere was slow and gloomy. Won't be returning. read more

Burger was great! For a Friday night I expected the atmosphere to be a little more lively :-) staff was somewhat friendly definitely the patrons of the bar were more friendly :-) possibility of coming back 50-50 read more

We stopped at the Pints Barn on our way from Seattle to Long Beach and loved it so much that we made sure to stop again on our way back. This place has an adorable fully closed-in patio with a Sasquatch motif and other goofy art. It also has many sections (great for social distancing) and dogs are allowed! What an awesome place, we so wish we had one like that closer to home. read more

A great place! Right off I 5. Had a great cheese and sausage plate! Staff are excellent! A must experience!

My friends tire blew on the freeway and she pulled into the parking lot of the bar, where she was greeted with the friendly bartender who put her spare on for her! Who knows about the food, but the staff is stellar! read more

The patio area makes you feel safe, the staff is great and the food is amazing. Thanks for being open during these challenging times, when all you want is a cocktail and some apps! read more

I haven't eaten here. Only been in for beers. It's got a fun atmosphere and great people watching-- what more can you want?! I'm sure we'll stop by for drinks again in the future. The patio is nice in warmer months! read more

I don't know a lot about the bar and the food, but the people were incredibly friendly and kind. My car broke down and they came out to help, gave me and my dogs water and were just plain friendly. If they are giving that service to a lady who never even bought anything from their restaurant, I imagine they have great service inside the bar too! read more

It seems surprisingly hard to find a bar in Tumwater. The bar food here was so unappetizing and overpriced that we ended up going somewhere else for dinner. The drinks were a little on the pricey side for a low key bar, but it was fine in terms of drinks. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Great owner! Great staff! The perfect location to meet with friends and indulge in something tasty and feel at home. Nicole the bartender is delightful and kind. The back patio area is great in the summer and comfortable even when temperatures dip low thanks to heating lamps and a little bit of coverage. Depending on your company, you can have fun and get a bit rowdy with friends, belly up to the bar and socialize as the locals come in or find a quiet corner with your love. read more

Great experience! Was staying at a nearby Airbnb but this bar was everything we were looking for! Definitely a neighborhood feel with great wait staff. Loved the outdoor seating area! read more

Next to the old Olympia Brewery. Fun place for good drinks and friendly people and great staff. Good strong drinks and good food made fresh. We will be back every time we're in Olympia read more

Great surprise spot when we had pulled off the freeway! I'm glad we found it. Had some really good tacos and beers at great prices. Bartender was awesome as well. read more

The 3 stars are a mix. Service is great. Considering on a Seahawk Sunday where the place is packed they have ONE poor girl serving the entire place I give her personally 5 stars. She does a great job, though of course she can't get to everyone quickly because... One of her and dozens of customers... Hello? But she makes the rounds as she can and is super friendly. Major kudos and job well done. We tipped huge for her effort. Note to owners: give her some help on game day! We had a table of 4. Everyone's food was dismal. Seriously terrible choices, cmon already get a fryer please. They offer a very limited menu. A few sandwich types, a couple burgers. Dogs and barely warm chili. The scariest item was a $15 cheese board with "pickled products". Ugh. Are we talking pickled pigs feet? Pickled beets? Pickled eggs? One little pickle from a jar? Nobody dared to order to find out. The nachos come out with a huge pile of chips but they clearly skimp on ingredients when there are tons of customers and they didn't shop the day before. Or they were busy Saturday too and were running low on everything. They had a thin layer on the very top of a few dollops of chili, (cold), a sprinkle of olives, same barely spread sprinkle of cheese. That left zero toppings for the tons of piled up dry chips below. Nearly inedible. Another person at our table got sick all night after having turkey soup and a side salad. Salad had mushy old chopped tomatoes. The lettuce was nice, no brown edges. A few sliced cucumbers and those awful over crunchy seasoned croutons nobody ever eats. The soup was tasty he said but the turkey in it was a little gray in color, he thinks it was old and he got sick. The pretzel and cheese, no, just no. So bad. So zero stars for food. The prices are not great for beer, even during happy hour. They don't discount the wine at all and offer a really really bad selection charging $8 a glass for undrinkable gorge. Their Cab is the worst. I guess this is a beer bar but expect a $50 bill for crappy food and bad drink prices for 2 drinks and inedible food per couple. Watching the Seahawks win a game with a bunch of really fun fans is the only saving grace since their Tvs are placed awkwardly around the room forcing you to sit crooked or at bad high tables to try to crane your neck at dim screens blinded by beer and pub lights. We will go again but not often and won't be getting much food from this menu. We do enjoy the staff service thus the 3 stars. Cause the rest is below a one star review worth. read more
