My son lives close to here, we had walked by many times. He had just 21, I was thirsty...we went in. The food is amazing! We had a great time, happened to be trivia night, we laughed & was splendid! Don't let the exterior fool you! The staff were friendly & helpful, trivia was fun! read more

The Coug - Bars Near Me - Pullman, Washington

The Coug is a landmark bar at WSU/Pullman. The name/location has been around for 70+years and the history on the different venues that have been titled Cougar Cottage is very interesting. It has a small but very personal environment and if you are making the rounds on College Hill, this is a must on your list of stops. read more

Yummy. Much better than Cougar Country IMO. Great service and a yummy menu. I got the mushroom Swiss and added bacon and avocado. Make sure to let your kids write on the wall! Thanks for the friendly service and making us feel some welcome! read more

The Coug - The special was the mushroom Swiss burger. I was told to add bacon and avocado, which made it pretty damn amazing. - Bars Near Me - Pullman, Washington

First and foremost, I want to say I LOVE the atmosphere in the Coug. There is no other place that I have ever been that shows the same amount of pride in the surrounding area and the community. I gave the Coug 4/5 stars because until recently, it only served beer and Boones. As this is my 4th and final year at WSU, I did not spend as much time here until this year. People who were not avid beer drinkers tended to shy away from this establishment. However, now that their shelves are stocked with hard liquor, the Coug is a one-stop shop for all of the WSU population 21+. Stop in for some fries or tots and please, please order their mozzarella sticks. They are TO DIE FOR. Wash it down with an ice cold Blue Moon and eat the orange wedge to get your daily dose of Vitamin C. Happy Drinking!! read more

Fun place, but definitely would not go here for a meal again. Come here if you are wanting to drink beer and be loud and rowdy with some college kids, haha but don't come here for food. Was overpriced too. read more

Normally I love coming to The Coug but today at 3 o'clock my friends and I were refused service by bartender Kaycee Richman because we were "too intoxicated" even though we just came from taking our graduation photos with our photographer and our moms. The Coug lost a lot of money and respect today :/ read more

Great food , great vibes, lots of laughs!!! Until Kaycee enters the premises. Beware ladies & gents shes a bartender with a superiority complex. She refused us service at 3 pm on a Sunday when we were *painfully* sober and with our mothers. Not sure if she woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what the issue was. Needless to say she was incredibly rude, ruining our Sunday with her insulting comments regarding our supposed "drunkenness". She continued to point at us with the other bartenders the entire time we were here. We literally were shoveling the food we paid for down our throats, just trying to leave. SUPPPER awkward & super sad considering I love The Coug. read more

Can't come back to Washington without visiting The Coug! We were there yesterday and it was the same as always. Beer just seems to taste better here. read more

Good chips, burgers are on the raw side. Took my burger to the waiter and explained what was wrong, got "OK, alright" as response. Go to fast food chain for healthier protein. read more

My favorite place to drink in Pullman! Always a fun time! They make one of the best Long Island iced teas!

The customer service at the Coug is the best! The bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable about different drinks. I would recommend grabbing a Coug burger when you're there! read more

I think you guys all have your beer goggles on. This is not The Coug of the '70s. Service was... less than expected. I'll pass next time.

Love this place! Great beers on tap, and try a Cougarita if your feeling up for a challenge. The mac-n-cheese bites are crazy good. Cheers!

The food is ok, chicken strips, tater tots, fries, burgers, sandwiches. it's a bar. ok for a snack and a beer, but it's bar stools and high tables, not very comfortable. went once, dont need to go again. read more

Good food, cold beer. I'm not even a Coug and it was a good place to eat. Service was good, even when slammed by our baseball team families. Nice job with dealing with everyone and orders were correct and food worth the wait. I recommend the Coug when visiting Coug Country. read more

My group and me were cut off after 2 shots. We came in today for their $3 shots of tequila and they cut me and my group off from all their drinks except beer. I wanted an explanation why they would only serve us beer and not shots? They would not give us one except for a girl in Florida who was arrested for over-serving. I get that but why would you offer me a beer or a mixed drink but not a shot when the state looks as a single shot as the same as a 12oz beer or one cocktail? I tried to talk to the man in charge but he kicked me out in front of my whole group. They then asked him why did he offered me a beer and a cocktail but not a drink? I honestly just wanted an expiration other than a girl in Florida was arrested. That's a whole 'nother state, it just doesn't make sense. I liked this bar up until now. Btw V-hall has $2.5 shots on Tuesdays and doesn't stop serving me after two shots. read more

Only had drinks but a great atmosphere and a must for any parent or out of towner coming to the campus. The patio is a great place on a sunny day! read more

Don't come here boys, rude as hell, overpriced, shitty service, and they'll take your fake. Go to Valhalla, down the road, they were much more nice and better food. read more

A trip down memory lane for my mate. Great burger - blue and bacon - and so glad they had cider on draft. The fries were great too. Typical collage atmosphere, loud with few seats. You need a place like this once in a while. read more

Great classic burger. No frills here but that's not the point. Burger has a squishy bun and everything is delicious down to the American cheese anchoring everything in place. I loved that all the components of my cheeseburger was balanced and it was like taking a bite of WSU culture. Did not partake in any libations but I can see why this place would be popular with the students and returning alumni. read more

For students, fun atmosphere. Brought my parents here and the staff was VERY rude to them. Can't get over how they were treated here. Very disrespectful and very sad about this. This isn't the first negative experience I've had at The Coug. They definitely need to work on customer service. NOT a strong point for them, very disappointed... read more

oh the coug! I love you and your tasty burgers. I wish you served hard alcohol when I was there. Always a good time to be had here! xoxo

Walked in sat down no hi nothing. Sat for awhile and left and went to the office bar. Fast service and a lot friendlier

Amazing staff, well priced drinks and always a good time. No drama, no fights. Your group can share a table with other people and make new friends. read more

Gabby was wondeful, quick to service and helpful. Alex was an a$$hole and judged me for no reason, refused service and had to be apologized by Gabby for his rude customer service. Avoid Alex at all costs and this would be 5 stars read more

first time to order here. Ordered super cougs. It didnt come with tomato and theTWO DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS in the burger????????????? $15.90 for the total. A burger won't last in a shape and missing ingredients! Disappointed! Store wasn't busy! read more

Everyone coming to eastern Washington needs to come to WSU to have a burger and steak fries from this dive!! I got to meet the owner and shared a couple Black Raven Wisdom Seeker Double IPAs... Bob knows his crafties! I will never go back to Wazzu without popping in for a couple coldies and a real grease bugger... Coug is a real college experience! I had a mega burger with blue cheese and bacon that I shouldn't have finished... But I did!! Thank bob!!! read more

This place sucks. Not good beer or food. Don't come here if you want a good time. Fuck this place. I'm DD and they cut me off. You guys are dumb. read more

Awesome burger! Disappointed they ran out of Dayglow IPA but I won't take it out on them.

I have to give it five stars even though I am a Husky. SO awesome! They even had a veggie burger (you have to ask, it isn't on the menu). I am glad I didn't go to WSU because I would be an alcoholic right now from spending every minute at the coug. read more

Loved this place! Reminded me of my college days. Staff was extremely friendly. Bartender's dog was the best! The burger was very above average.......as in really good! Great time to be had. read more

Great, cheerful, staff. Good burgers, my wife likes the BLT. My parents went there for "coke dates" in the 40's, I was a regular when I was in school. Now my son is there and we spent some good time together last weekend. Tradition!! read more

I thought it was super inappropriate to kick people out an hour before actual close. By doing this and not properly notifying customers they kicked out people who were drunk and who weren't given ample time to figure out a ride home. Also, by kicking people out an hour early the customers where not able to properly plan the amount of drinks to have to be able to drive home. I was very disappointed in how employees treated customers. Employees were rude to customers trying to figure out how to safely get home. Normally I love the Coug but tonight I was severely disappointed. I don't like supporting a business that doesn't encourage people to be safe when leaving the bars. read more

How can you not love a bar that is called 'The Coug'?? I have spent many days and nights here and in my opinion, it is the best bar in Pullman. The staff are friendly, they have awesome deals on drinks especially during awesome hour, their bar food is on point, and the atmosphere is everything you want from a smaller bar. I love the Coug!! read more

Down and dirty college bar. Poor selection of drinks and an even worse bar experience. If you want to drink a few pitchers and puke on the floor then this is the spot. read more

The Coug is one of my favorite bars. It has a relaxing atmosphere. It is the place all Cougs want to go, and they offer a variety of drinks. I always enjoy my visits there. read more

The Coug is a classic college bar with decent food. Walls and ceilings are covered with graffiti and the sparse furnishings are sturdy and beaten up. The burgers and fries are tasty, though some of the burgers come with outlandish combinations of toppings. The beer is always fresh because Cougars drink so much of it. The jukebox is well stocked and loud. Not a bad place for lunch if you don't count calories, but quite loud and boisterous in the evening. read more

I would give it zero stars but that isn't an option. Two of us came in 7 minutes early and were told to wait until they opened, not even thirty seconds later and a large group of six maybe seven people came in and were offered service immediately. Then two more large groups came in right after another, so we went in line and waited to receive rude service. Very disappointed. read more

The Cougar Cottage is known to every WSU booze hound as the Coug or home. It is an iconic pub near the heart of greek row and campus. In its past years people enjoyed making it their own by marking or craving their name on the wall, tables, and bathrooms. Today, it is an overpriced, under staffed shit hole. A pitcher of Busch Light was 12 dollars which is quite overpriced for Pullman!!! I ordered a cheeseburger and fries and it took the two guys flipping burgers 40 minutes to get it to me, cold, and with only 9 fries. I asked for just a few more and once they were done with their conversation they promptly told me to get lost. Customer service and the food sucks. All the bars in town have Wing Wednesday and The Coug has, by far, the most bland, unappealing wings. If you want a cold pitcher and good wings go to Valhalla, its a half a block up the street. If you have never been to Pullman, walk inside The Coug for the nostalgia, but do yourself a favor and turn right around and leave. read more
