I was at this bar on Saturday night, and what I witnessed was not just bad service--it was dangerous, negligent, and a textbook example of how bars lose liquor licenses. There were approximately 15 people in the bar and two bartenders working (one male, one female). Despite the low volume, they had no control of the room and kept switching positions behind the bar while the situation steadily deteriorated. Multiple patrons were clearly and excessively over-served. One young woman was passed out unconscious in the bathroom. The man she was with asked the bartender to check on her, and the female bartender refused. Had other patrons not stepped in, that woman could have woken up alone, scared, and locked inside a closed bar. That is not just negligence--it is a serious safety violation. The male bartender was drinking alcohol while working and actively encouraging violence. He continued serving an obviously intoxicated man while instigating him, telling him he could beat up another customer. This happened openly, in front of the bar, with zero concern for consequences. Two patrons who were actually helping de-escalate situations and looking out for others' safety were 86'd and treated poorly, while the real problems were ignored. Meanwhile, the female bartender was encouraging her boyfriend to fight other patrons, and the male bartender joined in by antagonizing already drunk customers. One confrontation stemmed from a customer simply asking for a real glass instead of a plastic one. This is not a "rough night." This is gross incompetence and reckless behavior behind the bar. Over-serving, refusing to check on an unconscious patron, drinking on the job, and encouraging fights are exactly the kinds of violations the liquor board takes very seriously. If you are the owner, consider this a warning you should be grateful this came through as a review and not an official complaint. Because what happened Saturday night is absolutely the type of situation that gets reported, investigated, and documented. These bartenders should not be working unsupervised--if at all. They put patrons at risk and put your business directly in the crosshairs of regulators. The customers who were 86'd while trying to keep people safe should be allowed back. The staff responsible for this behavior should be removed before someone gets hurt and your liquor license becomes a discussion instead of a guarantee. This bar doesn't just need better service--it needs better judgment behind the bar. Immediately. read more

Not local? Not welcome.... Pudgy, pierced, purple-haired bartender trundled down the bar after about 5 minutes. Carded my 35-year old wife. Fine, but took her Washington State ID down to another bartender to look at it for 5 minutes. I asked her what was taking so long and she pouted and said it was a non-standard ID. Huh? You're a barrender and never seen a non-druver WA ID before. We left to find a more friendly bar down the street. read more

Once in a while you accidentally stumble upon a bar that makes you glad that you did! What a great place! Love the Ambiance and the Relaxed Vibe this bar has. I had a Whiskey Sour that was one of the most balanced and smooth that I have ever had! The Bartender was great and friendly! Beyond reasonable prices + FREE Pool!! I will be back!! read more

Oh yuck!! This place is seriously disgusting and just reeks. Service was friendly, these ladies are really working hard and they got a good tip. But the drinks are average and kind of pricey and the place just reeks of mold and piss. And what about all these little flies in the men's bathroom - that cannot be healthy. With some fixing up this place would be a lot of fun and could be a real goldmine. But right now? Hard pass, there are much better places in Enumclaw! read more

Zero service. Was just there tonight for an hour with a party of 10 and not once were we offered drinks. Two of us also stood at the bar for 20 minutes while the bartender walked past us. read more

I feel like people these day can't respect a bar that feels like home. This is a place to meet good people and memories!

Hehe. Cool place to hang. Free pool. Chill vibe! We don't have a kitchen but we have an air fryer & fried snacks. ALSO cheapppp drinks.

Good little dive bar that's perfect for watching the game with a cold drink. Definitely a throwback to the 80's style with a few modern touches. Bar is over 100 years old so lots of history inside. This is a get what you see place so be open minded and just enjoy. read more

Sure is fun to get in an argument with the bartender for ordering some food from the air fryer 40 minutes prior to closing. Mental health is in short supply around here. Plenty of options within a two minute walk. read more

Wow. I have never had a bar maid as rude as Tammy in my life. Kick me and my daughter out and said not to come back if she is working. Now the best part. She said I was talking to loud. REALLY. It's a tavern not a church or library. I was talking to a veteran that had a grenade go off in is face his left side of his face was damaged badly he lost his left eye and hearing isn't that great . I'm almost 60 and have never been kicked out of a tavern in my life till Tammy. Worst bar tender EVER. read more

This place is a dump. People here are old and gross, drinks are poured so weak, and there is always at least one group of drunks sitting around the bar talking out of their asses about something. The one star is for the fact they have free pool here on Sunday & Monday nights, and have better than average tables for a bar. If you are looking to save a little cash, play pool and are in the area, then swing by, but DO NOT make a trip out here just to save a few bucks on pool... read more

Fun place to grab a beer on the way back from riding up at Crystal Mountain. Found this "wooden nickel" from one of my trips to Crystal Mountain. Not sure how long they've been in business, but safe to say it's been longer then 20 years ; ) read more

My friends and I stopped by here after riding at Rainier. We walked in, and asked to see a menu. We were really hungry, and there was no real substantial meal available. We politely said, "thank you" and left. One of our friends was using the restroom, so he left right after we did. He was greeted with "What the hell did you guys want, faggot?" So, unless you like knuckle-dragging company, keep a wide berth. read more

I've been in a few times and the service was just ok. Mostly the bartenders are on their phone or just chatting with a friend. I couldn't believe it when one bartender completely ignored us when we were trying to play pull tabs. She was playing pool!!!! What is wrong with people! I thought they would want to make money. We finally got one drink and left. Something needs to change. read more

Great little hole in the wall. $1 Jello Shots. Friendly staff. Try to avoid the food but pizza is really delicious. I think it's Degornio. Really really really need to update their TVs. Flat screens 40" are only $339 at Kohls on Black Friday. Just saying... read more

They need more staff. There was only 2 bartenders taking orders clearing tables and making food. We spent most the night waiting in line to order a drinks. read more

3 pool tables, 2 dart boards. The bartenders and patrons are friendly. I like the place but what do I know, I'm just an old gross guy. read more

Ski Inn Sports Bar - outside at night - Lounges Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

Great drinks,great prices, friendly service, lots of pull tabs, tv, it's what every working man's Bar is.

This place is the quintessential dive bar of Enumclaw. It has this weird vibe and accompanied by the odor of stale beer and body odor. Their beer selection is limited to mainly domestic brews and the jukebox is far too quiet. There are pool tables and a really creepy "Living Room" like setup in the back with a stinky overstuffed couch and rear projection big screen. I haven't given up hope. I think this place would be 100x better with a stage and some live music perhaps. The staff seem nice enough and there's a pinball machine in the back, so there's that. read more

We stayed in the Park Center Hotel just across the road from this tavern.. The Tavern is friendly, laid back. Plenty of snacks to buy, three pool tables and video games. Great jukebox audio. They will bake you a Digiorno pizza in 20 minutes. I will go back there when I'm next in Enumclaw. read more

Why not. Lots of things to do here, games, etc., wish they had a deep fryer and served food. They should bus in customers as there is not a lot of action going on here. Hire some young chicks and add some food and who knows, the Ski Inn might make it back on the hot spot map. Only place in town with a pinball machine. WTF?! The only place! read more

It looks like it would be a dump from outside, but it's very large and pretty nice inside. They have three pool tables, foosball, and some other games, as well as pull tabs. I just stopped in on a Thursday afternoon before an appointment and it was dead, but I received good service and I like the environment. Overall not bad at all. I would come back if in the area on a Saturday night for some food and drinks and fun. read more

It's a dive, but cheap strong drinks, horrible food, definitely eat before hand. unless you like chicken nuggets made out of a microwave, and that's no joke. pool tables and darts are good to go here, but you will have to deal with some of the regulars who are a little off kilter. read more

This place puts the "dive" in "dive-bar". Smokers huddled and almost blocking front door. No good parking. Not really friendly to newcomers. read more

This bar is the shit and if you dont like it we dont want you here anyway ya damn degens from upcountry.

Very unfriendly place. Bartender is very rude and unprofessional. They need to replace her asap. I am a local and will not being going back to this bar after how poorly we were treated by the bartender. We sat at the bar, ordered a drink and then it never came. We asked a couple of times if our drinks were on the way after waiting forever... Her excuse as to why she wasn't bringing us the drinks we ordered, after waiting 20 minutes was, "well can't you see the beer tab is broken!" Um, no we can't see that, and we had not ordered beer! read more

Following the Country music festival in early September, a group of us went to this local little bar for a drink. We made the mistake of asking if we could order food. The bartender yelled at us, asking if we "couldn't tell how backed up" she already was. Okay... So my friends asked for a pitcher of beer and a mixed drink. Then... I asked for water (I was driving). She asked for my ID then looked at me and told me to "get the f@¢& out of here, I'm done with you!" At first I was confused and asked her, "excuse me"? I couldn't think of anything I had done wrong. But she kept telling and swearing at me, so I grabbed my family and friends and left. I was stopped by several other customers asking why she went off on me. I have no idea. But better not ask for a glass of water! She was very rude and none of us have been back. It's a shame because we used to really enjoy going there. read more

The place has a good atmosphere & the people are great (including the staff)!!! The big problem is the smell of a urinal misbehaving. That, and when you flush in the men's room you can hear it running out on the ground underneath. NOT A GOOD THING! If you can get past that it's a great place to hang out. read more

If I could leave negative stars I would. Usually I'm a chill person who works in retail and thinks reviews like this is corny but I've never had an experience like this before. A bartender trying to fight you?!?!???!?! I walked in with my friends on a Friday night all of us young and trying to have a first bar experience at 21 and it was awful. Men playing pool gave us the table to finish and the equipment they were using to play to have a game. My friends and I were like yay these men gave us a table let's try pool and the bartender yelled at us that we "disrupted an unfinished game" and continued the night staring at us like we were un welcomed. We tried to make the most of the night like ya whatever maybe we did steal someone's game even though others tried to help us and when last call came around the bartender yelled " that's someones special playing stick I can't believe you'd steal that too put it back " and other discrepancies. Even after to SIMPLY LEAVE the bartender tried fighting the boy we were with and fighting me for standing up for him? The people around apologized "the bartender had a bad night" I can understand being mad at irrational customers and etc but to have this problem wirh my friends and I and wanting to LITERALLY FIGHT US. I had to be held back because she said some discriminatory comments to a person of color is crazy. Just don't go here... please. read more

Hand written sign on front door states "Now open 11:00 am to 2:00 am. I stopped there tonight 5/3/13 at 12:15 am and as I walked in the bar lady and cust. said they were closed! REALLY ?? sign says open daily till 2 am. Drove across town for nothing. Last time I'll take a chance to go there from midnight on. Fair warning to all the owners have no clue on this place. Go to Rainer or Seeders if going after midnight. Don't waste your time coming to Ski Inn. read more
