I came here to see a local band play. There was $5 door charge, which seemed reasonable. Staff was very friendly and helpful, the interior was clean, and there are lots of tables . I opted for a glass of cranberry juice as I'm not an alcohol drinker, and the very large size for $3.00 seemed like quite the bargain. The parking lot is BIG, but definitely needs some maintenance work based on the potholes. The stage was big, the sound system sounded good, and the stage lighting was good. Overall, Cascade Bar and Grill provided a very enjoyable experience for seeing a band perform. read more

I and a few of the neighbors have been gathering there for the past 25 years. The bartenders are attentive, the food is good and the beer is cold. What more do you need in a neighborhood bar? read more

So you know when you want to grab a bite because you have personal issues going on but a drunk wants to sit by you even though you are sitting far away? And the biggest issue is the bartender! All we wanted was to enjoy our being together and order dinner but instead we ended up with a very drunk person not leaving us alone! It ruined our night completely! My dad had stage 4 cancer on top of other issues so we have always enjoyed coming to the Cascade Bar but after this we won't be back A bartender who allows this behavior to ruin customers dinners is a horrible bartender! Did nothing! Knew how drunk he was.. let him destroy our night. Will not be going back and thank you Cascade for having a bartender who allows this Miserable night thanks to this... Ps- said he was ubering? Yeah right! read more

Great service. Halibut is spot on and the fries are perfect as well. Clam chowder is clammy delicious

I like the staff. Really loved coming here for years but I just simply can't afford cascade bar and grill anymore. $11.50 for a shot of Baileys in a packet of hot cocoa? No. This is ridiculous. I know they suffered throughout Covid but we're way beyond that now and the prices should not be this high. Looking for a new local dive bar if anybody has any suggestions...? read more

Went to hear a friend's band play. Food is mediocre at best. Sound levels WAY too high - why do they do this? It's awful. Even with earplugs it was overdriven and unbeae.. A few days earlier we heard another band at Alberta Rose & it was so good - loud enough to be great but not painful. read more

Drive by this place all the time. Parking lot is always busy. Our son turned 21 today, so we decided to take him to a "real bar" on a Sunday afternoon Great choice!!! Drinks are strong, service is straightforward, and food is delicious. Place is clean. People are chill. Multiple tv screens, 3 pool tables, bar and table seating, and a stage. Pool table area is well lit, but other spaces are dim lighting as would be expected in a bar like this (love it). They offer live bands, karaoke, and pool (pool is free on Sundays). Totally cool vibe and old school like I like it!!! Food and drinks are reasonably priced. read more

I come to this bar so much. I love the karoake they have, and the DJ. They always play some good music. It's fun to just come and watch people vibe to karoake. They also have billiards, an outdoor smoking patio, and darts. The bartenders their provide amazing service, and always cut me off when I ask them too. They really keep their customers safe. I have had their food as well, and I am always satisfied with their menu. They also have half off appetizers during their happy hour. I find this bar affordable as well, and its a great place to go for a night out with friends, even if you don't like to sing. The live music is always something I enjoy. They have karoake Sun-Thurs starting at 9pm, and then live music from I believe local bands, on Friday and Saturday. I highly suggest this place! read more

Went there on Friday for the halibut. It was delicious! Great service and pretty cool place. The band was setting up. We didn't stay. We just went for dinner. Next time, we'll stay for the band. read more

Terrible service. It seems the Bartender is there to kill time with no attention to servicing customers? We sat down, waited 15 minutes and still never got served. And they where not busy. read more

Me and my friends have been coming here for well over five years, it is our neighborhood bar of choice. For us this is a great place to come during the day and have a delicious meal cooked by Carlos, Tina is usually the daytime bartender and she is incredible. Crystal is the manager and she is one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet. Like all neighborhood bars you're going to get a mix of customers, I have had the opportunity to meet some really incredible people here, and there are some others that I wouldn't call my cup of tea, but I'm sure they're fine people in their own regard and probably think the same about me . The new owners are implementing a lot of great changes, and it has remained my regular go to place for years. I would highly encourage you to come check it out during the day, it's a great chance to enjoy the food and atmosphere, they have a couple pool tables that people are always using, and if you're a cigar smoker like me and my friends, this is one of the only places on the east side of Vancouver, that you can enjoy a cigar outside, and still have some protection from the rain. Smoking cigars outside during nicer weather is a no-brainer! Cascades at night is definitely a very different bar the day. I've been here several times over the years at night, way more of a party atmosphere, like I said earlier, it's not really my speed most the time, but I have had some fun nights here too, that I still remember. read more

The food is absolutely outstanding. I hope Justin and his staff survive this pandemic. The burger my wife had was fantastic and the chicken fried dinner here is delicious, along with many other things including the fish and chips. Big outdoor party to eat safe this summer.

TJ's Cascade Bar & Grill - a plate of food - Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Me and my sister were in Vancouver for our 40th high school reunion, Our friend took us to Cascade, we had a good time catching up with good food and drinks for hours. I left my reading glass there, as I live in So Cal I couldn't just go pick them up. So when I called if they had them, they did !! and shipped my reading glasses to me free of charge. Not only was Cascade a great place to go, it was super friendly and kind !!! read more

Very friendly warm bar, cozy too. Nice TVs for football. Their drinks are great. I can't wait to visit again and see a live band! Oh and to play pool. I grew up driving by it for years. Glad I stopped in. read more

Decent food and great music Fridays and Saturdays. Fun, easy-going environment. A great local place - definitely worth checking out.

They just lost two long time patrons by expecting a $10 per person cover charge when we average a $75 tab Sorry but no bar is worth that price to occupy a seat and spend hard earned money. The food is good and the service typically good as well but not worth the admission price. Update: we spoke with management and have since become patrons again....they actually cared!!! read more

My first thought was, "how could anybody rate this only three stars?!?" ...then I saw the menu. I suppose It isn't THAT pricey, but it also isn't one of those Happy Hour (Almost) All Day joints. The decor is perhaps classic/Northwest-Tavern (but excellent condition) although the first $5.75 10-oz margarita could have been a bit stronger... (for only 75¢ more you can get "100 Años" ) The menu is full of choices and they even have Juliano's Pizzeria 12" pizzas "Made Fresh For Us" until 12:45 AM! With 18 brews on tap and a full bar with regular live music you almost can't miss! I think I could enjoy this tavern on a regular basis. Alas, it's a bit far from home, the bus transfers (Uber fare) would get my gruff and unless that Christmas Bonus / New Year raise comes through my pocketbook just can't handle it. More fun for everyone else though! read more

The most horrible experience we have ever had. Waitress was a joke, asked for catsup for our fries and she said, "when I get to it" wtf, I went to the bar and asked the bartender and she handed me it right behind the bar. I sat down to cold fries, they were so saturated in oil they were limp and of course they were served with no salt. We left and the waitress had the balls to run after us to pay for the fries. I said no, we didn't eat them, they were inedible, she said, she would call the police, I said please. We waited for 20 min in my car and we left. This was our 3rd attempt to eat there. Bad bad bad service. Food ???? Don't know, as we have yet to be served a meal, that was edible. read more

Not a bad place to hang out with friends, casual comfortable nothing fancy, but great to chill. Cocktails are amazing, service is ok, music- jukebox, food is typical bar fare. Nothing fancy- It's a bar! read more

This place is gross! Nichole is a PITA. Looks people over others when serving drinks and the owner needs to spend some money on cleaning. The bathrooms are borderline bio hazard. The seats around the pools tables smell of urine. I would suggest the health department drop in and take a look. It's too bad because it's a place with potential. read more

When I went up to buy more quarters for the pool tables, Ronnie, one of the owners told me she was going to enforce their new pool rules of two hours maximum, if someone else wanted to play pool. A little while later she comes over and tells my buddy and I we have to give up our table. She proceeds to tell my friends that it's the same people in there at the tables and that we play way too long, "it's ridiculous" she said. Who TF is she to tell me or any customer in there that what we like to do is ridiculous? Congratulations Cascade, you burned that bridge, and maybe I think putting tattoos all over your body is "ridiculous". Funny how that works, isn't it? I have never put up with that lack of respect from any business, any of my employers, or whoever, so why TF would I be expected to put up with it from them? This reminds me very much of Jim, the owner of Oscar's bar years ago, where my Brother and I used to play pool. We watched him power trip on people, until he went out of business. Smart move! read more

This place is awesome! It's very cozy, fun, clean and has the best drinks. Crystal, the bartender, has the best customer service. She's so sweet, personable and always has a smile on her face. Love Cascade! read more

I've passed this place many times on my way to the Chinese grocery next door. It always looked like a drab, uninteresting bar. But, one day I was on a search for a decent burger and beer somewhere in the Couve, so I decided to give this place a try and it was surprisingly good! It was definitely divey, but the interior is much nicer than the outside with pool tables and a dj booth. They have karaoke Sun - Wed and bands Thu - Sat with ladies night on Wed. I was there on a Tuesday, so there were a few people singing (very loud) karaoke. The beer selection was ok; we got a Boneyard RPM, a Shadow Ninja, and a Ninkasi IPA. For food, we got a burger and a Reuben. The Reuben was pretty good and the burger, while ordered medium, came back more of a medium-well, but it was charred properly (not the burnt or grey puck I have seen in so many other bars). It was a better burger than most bars I've been to in the Portland-Vancouver region. Although I did feel a tad out of place on a Tuesday, I will probably be back if I need a burger and a beer. read more

I came here on a Thursday night for my 21st bday and I had a great time. There was a live band playing, and the bartender was nice. I was able to get a free bday drink from them too. This may not be an accurate measurement of their service considering that all we ordered was drinks and we arrived after midnight. However the bartender was super patient in helping me pick out a drink that I wanted for my first official drink at the bar haha We had a great time and the place was decently filled for only being a Thursday night. Price is also fair/cheap. read more

Worst service that o have ever received at a bar. Ignored for almost 30 minutes to get a drink. I have been here previously when the female owner was working and it was great! read more

Love everything about this bar. Food and drinks on point. Theres always a fire out back with some great company. Pool tables are great and they have live music! Usually great local bands and sometimes a old school national act. read more

I've been here several times to watch my buddy's band and every time the bar service has been dog slow, there's usually 2 bar maids/servers on the floor during busy time and they're pretty friendly but their efforts to serve the masses are usually hampered by the bar itself as it seems they can't handle a packed house, otherwise its a cool little hole in the wall read more

It was definitely a dive bar. It wasn't bad though, the service was a little slow but not bad. They had a live cover band that was awesome! Also, pool, pin ball and a fire pit outside which was cozy. We got the mozzarella sticks, which were tasty. I got the pulled pork sandwich, which was so hot after 7 mins of being at the table that I burnt my tongue! Ouch! My boyfriend got the burger and said it was delicious. Also the fries were great. Will definitely Return for the music, fries and mozzarella sticks :) read more

I'll leave this short and sweet. Best patio in Vancouver. Fire pit and covered seating outside. Strong drinks, good pool tables, decent deals on food. This is a bar in every sense of the word. It's old school. Warm. Has live music. Has a solid staff. This place is good. read more

The service was terrible ! Bartender was more interested in being chatty kathy with her friends instead of helping customers! My son sat at the bar for 15mins and never was. Asked for his order read more

I'm so glad we stopped by TJs Cascade bar and Grill. We found out that it's been there for about 60 years which is pretty awesome if you tell me. My girlfriend and I had a few glasses of beer country fried steak and some tacos. They were delicious. Great Service and food. Thanks Tj's read more

Extremely disappointed that this place charges a cover on the weekends for such a dive. Service was terrible and when I went to the bar to order drinks the bartender said "ill send someone to your table." No one ever showed up and after 15 minutes we left. Just wish I could get my useless cover charge back. read more
