My toddler had space to play without interrupting anyone. I ordered fries right off the bat for said toddler and they came out quickly. Amazing fries and fry sauce, the sauce has a little bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. For the table we had motz sticks and fried ravioli. The motz sticks had a nice cheese pull and were decent. I wasn't a fan of the ravioli, just personal preference. I ordered the working man burger and wow was I impressed with the HUGE well cooked patty, smoked cheese, bacon and garlic aioli. I could honestly only eat about 1/4 of the burger after the appetizers. I can however confirm the burger and fries reheated well at home in the microwave.

We found this fun pub in Crescent Bar for dinner one night. It's away from the busy and bustling…read morearea further South and has pretty decent food. The restaurant theme is airplanes decorated with airplane items throughout. The interior is large with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and bar area with seats. As others have said in prior reviews, the menu can be limited at times. We went on a Sunday night during Watershed weekend so it made sense that they were out of some items. For example, we were told there were no burgers or paninis available that night. Too bad as I had wanted to try the tri tip panini. Darn. We ordered flatbread pizzas. I had the Spitfire which had smoked pork over BBQ sauce, cheese blend, red onion, black olives and mushrooms. I read in a different Yelp review that they smoke their own pork, so I had to get this one. It was by far, the favorite one! My wife tried the Falcon which has ham, pepperoni, sausage, salami, bacon, marinara sauce and cheese blend. For some reason this one was sorta "meh". Maybe cuz we had the wonderful Spitfire flatbread to compare it to? Along with dinner I tried the Beach Bum (another prior Yelp review recommendation!) which is a beer of half Kona Big Wave and half Mango Cart. This beer blend is perfect for hot Summer nights! Overall, we had great service from the do-it-all bartender. He was super nice and friendly and the prices were reasonable. I would return when in the area in the future but would go earlier in the day to try some of the other items before they run out.

This used to be the Sand Bar, and thankfully, it is not as sleazy as it was under that name!…read more Their patio is covered and has a trellis and vines on one side, and they apparently allow smoking out there (is this even legal? I thought smoking had to be 25 feet away from all entrances?). We went to see a band there and they were playing outside, but the patio was full of smoke so we opted against listening to the band and sat indoors, which was fine until they opened the door and let the smoke into the building. They have a bar outside as well, but it is cash only...so bring cash if you plan to listen to a band play here. The food was really good, so I'll throw a 2nd star for that, but I doubt we'll be back. If you're a smoker, this would be a great place, I suppose, but I quit over 10 years ago and don't want to sit in a place that reeks of smoke. My party left after we finished our dinner and went somewhere else.

The service is friendly and very good; I don't take these for granted. I get quick response from an eyelock from the guy behind the counter, who knows what I will be ordering. A homie. I can order with an eye lock. I like the food that I wouldn't make at home. Normally I would give 5 stars, but not tonight. The bar is a little awkward for a small person, but the staff know what to expect from a regular customer. So I sit at the small table in the window where I can order with an eye-lock and a raised eyebrow. The only thing that The Tav lacks is a place for a woman to hang her purse under the table or bar. This leaves me hanging my handbag off my knee. This is annoying, and completely unnecessary. I brought this to the attention of a courteous wait staff member previously. When I inquired again , I learned that the message had been relayed. Apparenly it has not motivated any plan of action. This is a problem I could solve in an hour, with the tools and hooks in my own house.

It was memorial day weekend (Sunday) and my friend who's a local, told me about a 90's night they were having there because of the holiday. I was like sure! It sounded great! Me and some other friends showed up and it was PACKED! The parking lot and the inside. We got lucky cause some other friends were there before us and they actually held a table with enough seats (there was going to be about 10 of us) and we had a place to sit. Coming in, they had a small dance floor, a DJ, and a table full of older looking 90's games! Sorry, Rubiks cube, Uno... a bunch of stuff! :D The line for the bar was pretty long, and it didn't help that the workers were going a little slow... I don't know, maybe they were understaffed or something, but the line took forever. Whatever, I made sure I ordered enough drinks to get me going for the night, I picked up Uno from the front table, and got a game going with my friends while we drank and waited for the rest of my buddies to show up. They announced a Karaoke contest and everyone told me to sign up so I said sure! The DJ was really good. Playing mostly 90's or early 2000's music for the theme. I ended up getting 2nd place for the contest :( But I still had the best time out, in Kennewick, here. I loved it. I couldn't comment on their mixed drinks and their food as I didn't order either but the vibes were all there and it was honestly a night to remember (or what I CAN remember) haha. Thanks for hosting. I'd definitely come back if I could!

I stopped putting in music far before 1:45 (the bar says it's open until 2) and I mentioned this and was just told To contact the manager in the morning. Poor service and poor communication.

**Ripple Tavern: A Glorious Watering Hole That Betrays Its Own Name**…read more Let's get one thing straight--the **Ripple Tavern** is an absolute treasure. The booze selection? **Exquisite.** Whether you're craving a craft cocktail with the precision of a master mixologist or a whiskey so smooth it makes time stand still, **they've got it all**. The bartenders? **The best in the business.** They're friendly, fast, and somehow remember your drink order better than you do. This place is a **haven of hospitality**, a **sanctuary of spirits**, and a **cathedral of good times**. But here's the thing--**where is the Ripple?** I walked into the Ripple Tavern expecting one thing above all else: **Ripple Fortified Wine**, the legendary cheap nectar famously chugged by **Redd Foxx** as Fred G. Sanford on *Sanford and Son*. And what did I find? A **complete and utter absence of Ripple**. None. Not a single dusty bottle hidden behind the bar, not a forgotten case tucked away in the back. **A travesty. A betrayal. A crime against nostalgia itself.** Imagine the audacity of naming a bar **Ripple Tavern** and **refusing** to serve the drink that made junkyard philosophers out of America's finest. How dare they rob patrons of the chance to channel their inner Fred Sanford, hoisting a bottle, delivering an impassioned rant, and clutching their chest in mock heart attack fashion while hollering, "Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join ya, honey!" If ever there were a place where such theatrics should be encouraged, **it is here**. And yet, **Ripple Tavern** refuses to complete its destiny. The oversight is so egregious that I fear a disturbance in the cosmic order--*Sanford and Son* reruns may now play slightly out of sync, junkyards across America may feel inexplicably lonely, and somewhere, deep in the heart of television history, Redd Foxx himself may be shaking his head in disapproval. Still, five stars. **Because even without Ripple, this place is a glorious den of liquid joy.** But know this--if ever they decide to **right this wrong**, if ever a bottle of **Ripple Fortified Wine** finally takes its rightful place behind that bar, then--and only then--will **Ripple Tavern** achieve **true greatness**. Until that day arrives, I shall sip my whiskey with dignity--while quietly mourning what could have been.
