Never coming here again. Bartender was a super rude woman. Very awkwardly came up to us from behind…read morethe bar and said she had never seen us there before, made us go around the table and introduce ourselves by name. Very offputting start. Before i could even finish my sentence saying i forgot my ID and if its ok to show her a picture she cut me off to sternly say "no its never ok, actually" then went on to try to guess my age. We had to get up and leave. I understand not having an ID but she definitely had an attitude that screams i hate my life. Wont be coming back.

It's hard to believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. My husband and I decided to come here for…read moretrivia nights to be help quell my depression when the kids go to their bio dad's for the weekend. Then I saw the concerts, the art nights, the craft nights. It really is a social space with a ton of personality and the service is excellent. Often, I am mean girled with small businesses. Heck, I am mean girled in big business but that sucks less because it's cheaper and more convenient. The women who work here are kind to me and my family, even when busy and overwhelmed. The vegan cod is excellent. It's become a team name with my husband. I am eating the broccoli salad right now and am literally making love to it with my mouth. Is it the sunflower seeds? The red onions? Man, it's refreshing, small and guilt free (unlike my double screwdriver). This is a positive space. They help the community, no matter what they look like coming through the door. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Went here for my first ever burlesque show only! Got no food or drinks, but I did walk past the bar…read morewhen I entered, and I love the coziness of it all with the leather couch chairs in a circle. Reminds me of being at home with the set-up. Service was nice! Shoutout to the volunteers holding down the stage and ensuring that tips were being collected after each performance with mindfulness of the audience that they may be in the way of. They even offer exchanges for singles if you brought cash and want to break it. No need to stop by atm if you forgot to do so before the show. 15 minute intermission at the halftime of the 2-hourish burlesque show, which was enough time to do what you need. I think that they have bathroom here, but unsure of the cleanliness because I did not go. The stage that they perform at is cutely decorated with sparkly streamers and the volunteers do their best to clean the stage after each performed so that no slip-ups happen...and thankfully that did not occur during my time there! I like that the burlesque was prop-heavy for some performances because apparently it is not common in the burlesque scene. The emcee, dulce, did a great job to ensure that the crowd was enjoying their time while performers got ready. I wish that for the ticket, they specified how long the shows were. All tix said 1800 or 6PM start time, so pls look at your entire ticket order because you may be out in for the late-night show at 2100 or 9pm...espscially if that is what you ordered. anyway, the performers were super duper great. No complaints. Got my money's worth for my general admission ticket of $28.52. It is near the vip chairs, but vip got more crowd interaction with the performers dancing on them. if u want that, get vip tix! Not that much of a difference in pricing from what I remember. Another thing was that it would have been nice if they listed who the performers will be on the ticket order or on the front of the spot when you enter the door. Just better advertising would be nice so that even more people can see the talent!! Parking was good with the side street. Car did not get broken into...Read the signs, though! Usually, the side street parking is on the weekdays from 0800 to 1700, or 8AM to 5PM.

We'd been meaning to try this place ever since we moved to Oly a few years ago, and man we should have tried it sooner, it has become our favorite pizza along with (but entirely different than) Old School. Oly Taproom is a great place to eat and chill, or to meet friends, have a conversation or people watch, and on nice days they often open the garage door type windows making the inside seating feel like part of the outside, which is cool. As a bonus, after your meal, the Percival Landing boardwalk is right across the street, so you can take a walk and take in the lovely views. Besides the beer on tap, there are more in the coolers, as well as some soda options (and I think iced teas?). I'm not a big beer drinker but the staff is always great about helping me choose the right one based on my preferences, and because there are hops in the pizza sauce, the pizza & beer combination is especially delicious. But for non-beer drinkers, the pizza is still super tasty and the sourdough crust always cooked just right.

Had a great time at Oly Taproom and would absolutely recommend it. They have a really solid…read moreselection of beers with a nice mix of local and regional options, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy whether you're experimenting or sticking with a favorite. I didn't try the food on this visit, but everything coming out looked good, especially the pizza. It's definitely on my list for next time because it looked like the perfect pairing with their beer selection. One of the highlights was getting to interact with one of the owners during the visit. That kind of personal connection really stands out and makes you want to continue supporting places like this run by people who clearly care about what they're building and the community around them. Overall, Oly Taproom feels like the kind of local spot worth returning to again and again. I'll definitely be back.

The 2022 Bourbon County proprietors imperial stout is the finest of any stout I've ever tasted. The vibe in here is somewhere between classic taproom and 70's cafe.

Is it the ample bleu cheese crumbles, candied pecan chunks, or dried cranberries??? It's all of it. Maybe it's the low lights and inviting sense of brewery in the air. Maybe it's just the beer.

Place with a little slow, but that was only because I was there within the first half an hour opening. The place is very clean, very organized and they had merchandise and a very visually appetizing from within. The BLT came out and it was very good. The sun-dried tomato mayo was phenomenal. There was a lot of bacon and the tomatoes were very crisp and fresh which had added a bunch of flavor to the sandwich. I would definitely come back again if I live closer and check out more items off the food menu. I did end up buying merchandise which was a tin sign and some stickers to go home with.

We were in Olympia for a visit to The Evergreen State College and since we were in town, a stop at…read moreState & Central was mandatory. We've eaten here several times over the years, this was the first time we eat dinner here. Fam. Let me tell you, the very reasonable lunch size portions? They're significantly bigger on the dinner menu. Almost disturbingly so Being able to get a selection of interesting regional beers is always a draw, tonight was no exception. And the pretty good lunch menu is expanded for the dinner hour - as well as the portion sizes being expanded. I ordered the fish and chips, my partner ordered the bar steak (which was New York strip), and her daughter ordered the salmon burger with fries. Because it was a special, we also got a giant order of poutine. Despite being in almost at closing, the service was absolutely spectacular. We very nearly had the place to ourselves, so the overall vibe was very homey and welcoming. As noted, the portions were enormous. I opted to finish my fish at the expense of the chips. My partner wound up with a significant take home portion as did her daughter. Couldn't possibly have been happier about our decision to stop in. Since we seem to have a new Greener in the family, I'm sure that we will be in Olympia significantly more frequently. And frankly, I am pretty happy about that, just based on being able to stop in here on the regular again.

My daughter lives within walking distance to this restaurant for almost a year but we had never…read morestopped in until now. Our bad! It's actually a solid pub grub. We walked in at about 5:30 on a Thursday and it was busy but still had a few open tables. We were greeted warmly by our server. She recommended the blackberry margarita and we both said yes please! It was delicious. I got the Juicy Lucy and my kid got the Chili Burger which is open faced. They both were pretty good. The total before tip came to $74. The reason I knocked a star off is because the few available tables when we arrived were all dirty, one with plates and cups still. Another thing I see now looking at my receipt is that the burgers were both 50 cents more than what it says on the menu. $1 more is not huge but I don't like the feeling of the "wool being pulled over my eyes". Especially when the burgers are already $20 each. That's a lot of money even during these days we are living in. Will probably come back here, I might need to hit the casino on the way there to pad my pocketbook first though.

I have been to this location twice now and both experiences were awesome. The first time here Steve and I split a stout which totally hit the spot. The second visit was just as spot hitting when we got the Rongo New Zealand Pilsner. Flavor features with this beer are crisp and perhaps a hint of orange. I am very excited to see New Zealand Pilsners becoming more common as the first time I had one I was totally impressed and it's great to see this beer type steadily getting more popularity. This is another great tenant to the Tumwater Craft District Market. You can easily spend an afternoon grazing off of the good food and drinks at this location and Mount Olympus really adds more of the fun to that.
