Or you can bring in food to eat from any of the restaurants in the area or just eat some yummy free popcorn! We've had so many Christmas, Birthday & Super Bowl parties here & they even encourage potlucks! Definitely give this place a visit.

PEOPLE OF EARTH: If you haven't experienced the pure chaos that is Boots Tavern, you're living in…read morethe shadow realm of hospitality. This establishment doesn't just serve drinks--they serve EXPERIENCES, specifically soundtracked by an endless loop of Smash Mouth, Avril Lavigne, and *NSYNC that would make Carson Daly weep tears of frosted-tipped joy. The bartenders here don't just pour drinks--they're like spiritual guides through the realm of grain alcohol enlightenment. They've got stuff so potent it could strip paint off a submarine, and they serve it with the kind of confidence usually reserved for bomb disposal experts. Their signature drink, "The Y2K Bug," comes with a mandatory signing of medical release forms and a brief consultation with your next of kin. But let's talk about their commitment to the early 2000s pop music scene. The jukebox exists in a temporal loop where it's perpetually 2003. "All Star" plays every 47 minutes with the precision of an atomic clock. I once witnessed a group of investment bankers completely lose it during "Bye Bye Bye," performing the original choreography with such passion that Justin Timberlake probably felt a disturbance in the force. The weekly karaoke nights are the stuff of local legend. Every Thursday, the entire bar transforms into what I can only describe as "American Idol meets Thunder Dome." Last week, someone performed Britney's "Oops!... I Did It Again" while dressed as a fully-operational vending machine. The crowd went so wild they had to replace three load-bearing walls the next day. The regulars here have developed their own bizarre ecosystem. There's a group that shows up every Tuesday wearing matching bedazzled jumpsuits, and nobody questions it. The staff has started timing their drink service to the exact moment Christina Aguilera hits the high note in "Beautiful." Five stars. Would absolutely risk permanent hearing damage from singing along to "Who Let The Dogs Out" for the 47th time while sipping something that could probably power a jet engine. Just remember to bring your flame-retardant crop top and your signed liability waiver. P.S. The bathroom graffiti is exclusively written in boy band lyrics. It's basically a museum at this point.

The beer tap selection is great and there are even more tasty bottled options in the cooler. They have Rainier on tap - which is heavenly in itself. They have food menu options are of classic bar food favorites cooked to order on a grill by the bar. Unfortunately, the vegetarian options are limited to fries or tots or onion rings and maybe a salad. A black bean burger option would be a welcome addition. All in all, a solid hide away for a pleasant pint and unique environment while exploring the foothills of the Cascades.

It has to take a few. They have indoor tables and bar seats as well as a back patio. They have basic bar drinks, they serve great food like burgers, fries, onion rings, etc. This isn't a destination for striking up an hour long convo with the bartender because she is busy serving drinks, frying burgers, and cashing people out. It's iconic.

I ordered a cosmopolitan and the bartender Kate was the absolute sweetest. She was worried about not making my drink correctly but she actually made it perfectly!! I loved every sip, it was the perfect amount of citrusy and sweet! My friend ordered a blue moon and was surprised when the bartender offered him an orange slice to go with it. He said it's supposed to come that way but normally bars don't offer the orange slice. My friend and I stuck around for hours chatting with the bartender and some of the other patrons. We even played a couple rounds of billiards. I love the local vibes at this bar. If I lived within walking distance, I would honestly come here more often.
