Great place to go for dinner and to listen to some fantastic jazz. The food is good, it's well prepared and relatively quick, depending on how busy they are. Game weekends are a bit crazy, so if you don't like big crowds you may want to go in a different night. read more

Ricos has fabulous ambiance and an okay menu that is on the same great level as other restaurants in the area such as Burch n Barley, Zeppos, South fork, The Land bar, The Foundry, and Paradise Creek Brewery downtown. They are all on the same level and a pretty comparable price range. The only restraunt that's better AND more expensive is The Black Cypress. You will be fed well enough from any of these fine locations. And don't forget to consider Sella's Pizza which is local to Pullman and also very high quality. There's another pizzeria with thin crusts, but I hate it, so I won't mention it. If you must have it, ask your undergrad because I could careless. read more

We've been here a couple of times on our visits to Pullman. It's one of the better options in town. The ambience is nice and the bartender was very friendly. read more

Visiting Pullman stopped at Rico's. Had yummy drinks, appetizers, food and service was also great. Love the old bar and the character of the place. read more

First time here. Great service from Dominique. Good drinks and good food. Will be back.

First time! We got the fish and chips and the French dip, both were DELICIOUS! Our waiter was wonderful, I love to have someone that can get into a conversation even if it's just about them for a moment. The experience should be pleasant for both parties and I hope that it was for him as well! 10/10 Recommended and will come again!! We can't wait to try the other items on the menu! A plus too is that if you're sitting outside then your pup can join as well! Thank you John! read more

Rico's Pub - Loving eating with mom&dad! - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Slow but friendly service. Menu variety fair. If pub atmosphere is your desire than this hits the spot.

Ordered a drink, waited awhile with no service, found out from the server talking to a newly-seated guest that the kitchen had an hour delay. And yet the restaurant was mostly empty at lunch hour. read more

Cool little bar in this tiny town of Pullman, WA. This pub felt pretty authentic upon entering. Classic pub style bar w/lots of bar seating. One wall was all exposed brick that gave an old feel and cool vibe to the pub. I sat at the bar, to which Honna(spelling?) greeted me and gave me a menu. I opted for the fried fish tacos (they could not get grilled fish, oh well). The tacos were pretty decent. Crunchy, not too greasy and good flavor. This was a Tuesday around 6pm, so it wasn't too busy. It looked like it was kind of a hang out for WSU students (this is a university town). The back area looked to have maybe a pool table and hang out areas that were a little more modern. Good drink menu, they have quite the variety. read more

Rico's Pub - Rico's outdoor warm seating! - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Arrived at 10pm. Fryer was down. I understand, so we ordered what was available. The waitress said that the kitchen was open for another hour. We placed our order and an hour later... while the table that sat down after us was given food, she came and told us it was going to be 20 more minutes because she put our order in later... do you mean you forgot to put our order in? Beyond disappointed. read more

I ordered takeout from here due to many businesses in the area closing early. The burgers were tasty but very overpriced, a handful of not so great fries. They couldn't provide plastic cutlery for a salad and no ketchup! I ASKED THE GENTLEMAN WORKING FOR BOTH AND HE SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY OR KETCHUP PACKETS! I was staying in a nearby hotel with my family ,I was disappointed to say the least. I didn't get any drinks but when picking up my order the place looked really cute, maybe just go there to drink no takeout!! read more

We went on a slow Monday evening. After a dismal 15 minutes of f-edupedness, we realized all but one of the staff were new hires in training. But they ended up doing great! The kitchen totally came through with delicious food! The Cougar Gold grilled cheese with bacon was awesome - I don't think my son breathed between bites. The blue cheese bacon salad was so good that I am trying to make the same at home. We will return. read more

I hate to be THAT guy, but this has been one of the worst dining experiences I have ever experienced in my life. After working in the restaurant industry as a cook, I know that being understaffed is a problem and having new cooks can also add to that fire. However, there is no reason to bring three entrees out to a table after an hour wait, then another entree 20 min after that, and then waiting almost another hour for two of the last entrees. Is it too much to ask for a family to eat together at the same time for a graduation celebration? Not to mention I have asked for a beer (in a bottle) and never received it. I will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Came here a little while ago. Loved the atmosphere but the service was absolutely atrocious. Staff standing around and not helping each other to check on tables. They were not busy but our food took well over an hour to come out. It also took a long time to get our check even though staff frequently walked past our table. We saw a couple come in to order takeout and they were told to stand at the far end of the bar. There they stood while the bartender messed around for several minutes doing mundane tasks while the customers stood there without even menus to look at. We will not be back read more

Do not judge from the outside! I was so surprised upon entering into this European style of pub! The pub features tall ceilings with large bookcase filled with old style books, sports and a friendly waiting staff. Parking was plentiful. Service and food were prompt! I appreciated that we could order either breakfast or off the lunch menu! Although I didn't partake mimosa pitchers arefor $12! This is definitely one of if not my favorite pace in Pullman by far! Can't wait to go back! read more

Everyone in town was raving about Rico's. It's bar food....? Going to see if they can make a proper Nlack n Tan.

A Pullman staple! Great atmosphere, even better food and drink! Locally owned and operated to boot.

the nerds drink is exceptional, the staff is friendly and it's a cool vibe def recommend read more

Rico's Pub - Nerds Cocktail - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

I really wish I could give this pub 5 stars. The atmosphere is phenomenal! Brick wall, book shelves, pool tables upstairs and live music down below. Not to mention Tuesday night trivia that is quite enjoyable.... But the service. Last night I waited about 10 minutes at the bar to even order a drink and wasn't able to order food until the waiter/waitress came to take my order at my table, which was another 10 or so minute wait. So if you're coming here to grab a quick bite, this is not the place. If you're coming here to spend an hour or so, enjoy the atmosphere!' read more

My go to spot for... breakfast, of all things, in Pullman. Great drink menu, tasty breakfast food and helpful and kind staff. The interior of the bar is gorgeous as well. Their lunch menu is also fantastic, with great burgers, sandwiches and more. Honestly I'd recommend any visitors in Pullman to visit here. read more

Solid bar food, excellent service. Stopped in after walking around town. Quickly offered a table and menus by friendly bar tender who was short staffed. Ordered sandwiches and crisps- fun venue. Definitely worth checking out again when love music is back read more

This place is great. The Thai peanut salad was great. I had it two days in a row. Great spot and nice patio out front for people watching. Inside is awesome and very cool. A must see spot. read more

As I sit here reading reviews and seeing the Snarky remarks from "Business Manager" Tawny I vividly recall my experience several times at this establishment prior to Covid. Food-Great! Service-non existent. I had to go to the bar for our check. Then was billed for the wrong table and Food. I spoke with shift manager who basically said " we employ college staff"... Zero effort to rise above and lead by example. Give your money to any other establishment in Pullman. This place doesn't deserve nor appreciate your business. Adk Tawny herself!! Tawny, my experience was prior to Covid, as I stated above. Twice was enough for me. You are the woman I spoke with. You are the woman that told me you had an outdated payment system which was the reason I couldn't get a receipt for our lunch. You also shrugged your shoulders in regards to our absent server. You are part of the problem rather than part of a solution. I won't return based on reading these current reviews as well as your passive~aggressive response to customers. As a seasoned veteran, which you claim, you need to check your attitude at the door!! read more

This place is beautiful inside you wouldn't know it from the street! This is a gem for sure. We went for breakfast this morning and I'm so happy that we did. I had a Bloody Mary that was a great start to the morning. Biscuits and gravy With two eggs- fabulous Monte Cristo-perfectly done Best part was the service. They were busy but well staffed and very competent and friendly. Can't wait to go for happy hour:) read more

Rico's is an iconic and Historic Pullman pub with lots of wood--a lovely antique bar and bookshelves in the central dining/bar room. The food is good in a classic pub style (solid fish n' chips, reubens, burgers). Extra entertainment is a billiards room upstairs and live local music and dancing downstairs. Under 21 aren't allowed in after 8 pm. read more

While we might have been here during the winter break, this place was still really awesome. I love the old library feel as well as the awesome 75 cent popcorn! Of course onion rings are the best and the chicken strips.... The mixed drinks are well priced--honestly, try being a college student on the Eastside, then come talk to me about expensive cocktails. Lots of choices for beer-and they do have a happy hour where they knock down their pints to 3.50. Its a great place. Go! If you are in the area... read more

Rico's is the best bar in the history of the planet! It truly is no better place on earth. A great beer selection in the best college town in America. Popcorn for a buck, drink beer with your best friends and love life. There's really nothing else to say about heaven. read more

Rico's Pub - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

just visited here & the bartender mixed up my friends ID & sent it home with someone else. Super disrespectful towards my friend & making it seem like it was her fault, being rude & overall not accommodating to the fact they lost her ID. Don't recommend going here read more

Don't have the fish!! I got the most expensive fish and chips. The fish was greasy. Heavy batter. The fries were suit skimpy which amazed me since I got only 3 small pieces of fish for 16 dollars. I would assume I would get some fries to fill up in. They did bring a few more fries when I mentioned it. We had 6 people and the sandwiches were very good. Don't have the fish!!!!! read more

Rico's Pub - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

This is a very cool pub in downtown Pullman that looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie. Don't let the name fool you, it's got so much character! Lots of beer on tap, drink specials, great pub food, pool tables, and even an old MS. Pac man machine. read more

Let me start with the positives: it's a cool looking restaurant. The decor gives it a retro London look. There's a 20 foot book case with vintage literature and board games available for patrons to use while in the establishment. Also, there are open mic-nights and some live performances throughout the week. Now, the service is three times less than par. No one came to take my order, so I had to go to the bar. After 30 minutes, a server finally asked if I needed anything. This was after I picked up a drink and brought it to my table and someone from the back of the house brought my food out. The table next to me sat down after me and the members of that party had their orders taken before I was greeted. read more

The food is, well, pretty much bar food. Drinks seem pleasing. But what I go for is the atmosphere. A more sophisticated feel, but fun and social. Now and then I've seen people do homework here and I know that professors often drop by. If there isn't live music it's a nice place to have a chat. You can play pool upstairs too. It reminds me very much of a Harry Potter pub. read more

Excellent service and food! Love the French dip and salads. We can't wait to return when covid restrictions are lessened to eat inside. Atmosphere and staff are friendly and welcoming! read more

The food is expensive for a bar in Pullman, as are the drinks. It is crowded and loud at times. However, they do have a great variety of beers on tap, their coffee and liquor drinks are great, and their food is tasty. However, they don't know how to many some basic mixed drinks. No bartender should have to look at a recipe to make a Long Island Iced Tea. The atmosphere is nice, it sort of looks like an old fashioned library. As a grad student I can't afford to go there often, but it is a good place to go once in a while. read more

A very class joint, established in 1909. A lot of character, dark wood tables and chairs, 3 smallish pool tables and 2 pinball machines upstairs, and a downstairs area that houses their music performers. Quite frequently you'll find some live jazz by local residents as well as WSU faculty/students. Overall, it's the best bar in the Pullman/Moscow area if the college sports-bar isn't your thing. Their beer selection isn't the greatest, but it's decent. The food is decent, nothing more, but their popcorn is the BEST in town. This is the kind of bar you could take your laptop and homework to study with, and get away with it. Free wi-fi. No longer a smoking bar since Washington State passed the no indoor smoking law - inside is very clean now. It's just about the only bar in the area I will frequent. read more

Rico's Pub - Nabbed from online - Burgers Near Me - Pullman, Washington

This place has so much potential, yet fails on so many easy-to-fix things... the good: great food... decent drinks... BUT.... HORRIBLE management; employees eating at the bar, employees taking up bar space while eating their own food "from home", employees reaching over the bar to refill their own soft-drinks... off work employees treat this place like their own basement bar... an embarrassing trivia machine taking up bar space... it is sad... this place could be so cool... it is historical and has a great kitchen, but bar management of employees seems the likely culprit of my poor experience. And sadly, the owners think it is a good idea to literally put a "non-cash charge" on every bill (vs. a cash discount when paid with cash)... ridiculous and offensive... who wants to see an actual charge on every bill paid with a debit card?? are they crazy? this place could be SO cool, but is known locally as a place with bad service and bad decisions... and I am new to the area, and can say this with many data points; poor management is seemingly ruining a potentially incredible local landmark. It is sad. read more

Takeout was ready fast and their food is always super good! Love the fried cookie dough

I've ordered the Bleu Cheese burger (I can't remember if that's the actual name) on two different occasions--it was great both times. And of course, the bar is great as well. Nice place to go for beer and some pub grub. read more
