I love a dive bar, but this place just lacked any character to me. Has the feel of a strip mall…read morebar. Lots of plastic tipped dart boards if you are in to that, but otherwise nothing going on. We ordered a couple of beers, which were not good. I think we were the first customers of the day so the beer was kind of the gross stuff that was in the lines all night. Bartender was not particularly friendly. Beer was cheap though, $4 a pint. So nothing exactly wrong, but nothing exactly right either. Won't be back, Moses Lake has better options.

**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.

To give this review some context, my wife and I support pretty much all of the bars in town...Ten…read morePin, Rick's, Sporty's, Ripple, ML Tap House, Rock Top, Michaels, Paradise, Bob's, Enzo, Danny's...to name a few. This is a small community and the options are somewhat limited to be sure. Every establishment has it's quirks and that's to be expected...we LOVE a good dive bar. After trying to visit and it being closed on a couple of occasions, we finally went to Chilly Mack's for the first (and last) time last night, March 27, 2026 at 8pm. First thing we noticed was the musty smell. There's no carpet in there so you gotta wonder where it's coming from. Next thing we noticed is that there are only 2 other patrons in the entire bar...at 8pm on a Friday night. The barkeep takes our drink order and is quick to deliver. I asked why it's so dead and he said it would be packed after 10pm. (We'd just left Ripple and it was pretty busy.) That's the extent of our interaction with him until we tabbed out. Didn't ask if we wanted food, didn't check to see how the drinks were...all he did the entire time was talk to the two other people there who were obviously his friends. Actually, a couple of younger ladies came in about 10 minutes after we got there, got some drinks and were then ignored like we were. Couple of other things that caught our attention. 1. The menu on the board looked decent for a dive bar...but again, we weren't offered an actual menu or asked if we wanted food. 2. We understand that it isn't named "CHILI MAC'S"...it's CHILLY MACK'S...but wouldn't you wanna play on that and make damned sure you have the best chili mac and/or every viable variation thereof in town? This place has absolutely no identity. 3. There were 6 taps but only 4 being used. 4. Lots of TVs above the bar...that was nice. We finished our drinks, tabbed out and went to Rick's. We got there around 8:30pm and it, just like Ripple, was very busy. Hmmm. It's hard to imagine a drinking establishment (Chilly Mack's) can survive on only being busy after 10pm on a Friday night? With all that being said, we won't be visiting Chilly Mack's again which is very disappointing. We weren't expecting a lot...it IS a dive bar and we knew that going in...but this was not a positive experience. We wish the new ownership the best of luck for the future.

I have seen cleaner bathrooms at no name truck stops on the interstate highway. Is this where the restraint staff is expected to wash up before preparing all of our meals?!

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.

I use quotes because, as others point out had I read reviews, this isn't your traditional brewery experience. With the Ten Pin bowling reference, I figured this was just a bowling alley with a brewery. I'm a fan of bowling and craft beer, so I was excited at this prospect. Instead, the "brewery" experience is housed at their sports bar / casino bar. Rather than watching bowlers and the obligatory Big Lebowski on a tv while sipping craft brews, we were stuck with Chive TV and uninteresting college bowl games on the tvs and people buying pull tabs. Just not a very enjoyable atmosphere for enjoying craft beer, especially if you want to ask questions about their beers. As for the beers, they were a bit hit and miss. Once again enjoyed the Gutterball, as well as the Oktoberfest and even the Groove Pineapple Wheat despite not usually being a fan of beers that add pineapple (not sweet like I expected). The rest were a bit lacking in execution, and they were out of several IPAs/pales that were listed on the menu. We also had their wings, which were actually quite solid. If they were to move the taps into the production facility next door or better incorporate it into the bowling alley experience, we would consider coming again. But probably not with the existing setup.

Had a bite of Hubby's fish and fries and they were def house breaded and fresh for how inland we are. It does seem they like their soccer though, because only one of ten TVs had the nfl draft on, while all the others had futbol. It is a hispanic town, though.
