We stopped by on Sunday as their happy hour looks great and this is one of very few places that serve a Jucy Lucy. I got the beef onion bisque while my boyfriend got the Jucy Lucy. The soup was super salty, I could barely eat it as it just felt like I was slurping salt. There was also barely any meat in there and just lots of onion. The bruschetta that came with it was nice. The Jucy Lucy was the star though and it was delicious. The fries that came with it as well as their fry sauce was absolutely amazing. The service was okay. It seemed not too busy and it seemed like there was a table ahead of us in terms of receiving their food but it took some time. I did ask the waitress for some lemons for my water but she forgot and they checked on us twice. She did drop off a huge bottle of water when she noticed my boyfriend's glass was half empty. The decor here felt like a modern-rustic feel and they had some great music playing. The lighting is an intimate dim where you can see everyone and where you are going. The bathrooms here was clean and organized. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items and drinks but was disappointed with my soup.

We rarely had to ask for drink refills which was super nice. As for the food, much could be improved. We ordered nachos and the chips were stale with the cheese only half way melted. Order the buffalo chicken and Maui pizza; both were not completely cooked, as the cheese was unmelted in the very middle. The buffalo pizza had barely any buffalo sauce. The Mac and cheese bites were basic and you could tell it was made with Kraft mac and cheese. The salad was literally just a bowl of lettuce. Honestly the best thing we ate was the pub fries; they were crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall the vibe of the place was great. It was fun for kids with the arcade and when we came they were hosting a battle of the bands type event which was fun to watch. The restrooms were clean as well.

Nothing was terrible, but for an average of $20 a plate, I expect better than average flavor. Everything just tasted... "meh." Like it needed one more round of seasoning (was ANY seasoning used?) before leaving the kitchen. Service was good. Nothing remarkable or outstanding to brag about but decent. And then there's the smell. Sweet Baby Jesus - IT. IS. BAD. The second you walk in, you get hit with a sewer/porta-potty odor so strong it's impossible to ignore. We honestly cut dinner short because no one wants to enjoy a meal while feeling like they're dining inside a gas station restroom. I guess that was a win for our wallet since we only ordered 1 beer each ‍ This place has SO much potential, which honestly makes it even more disappointing. Guess we'll wait another 2 years before giving it another try. Such a bummer.

We frequent Rainier Growlers on the weekend and enjoy the variety of people who seem to hang out here. There is always a few delicious options to drink and there is easy access to Pizza as Fat Zach's is in the same parking lot. We have seen babies, kids, and dogs be welcome here. It is a good place to spend a couple of hours, especially if it is rainy outside! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about what is on tap or available in their fridges. I do not drink beer and am always able to find a local cider to enjoy if I am feeling like a beverage. My 11 year old loves their rootbeer. Definitely recommend Rainier for a fun place to hang out with others!

Ya know? That said, I am a dive bar FIEEENNDD. I am always on the hunt for a great dive bar and I swear I can spot one from a mile away. In dive bar standards, Scotty's is five stars. Sticky tables, dollar bills stuck to the walls, uneven floors... Scotty's is the blueprint for what a dive bar should be. On top of that, the bartender was nice and she was pouring up fatttt pours of tequila! I literally couldn't complain about anything!

Charlie's Restaurant

Charlie's seems like a decent example of a traditional American restaurant…read more Based purely on the food, it's definitely more of a three-star place: the waffles are fine tasting but not crispy, the syrup is the really thick corn-syrupy type, the butter is not cold so easy to spread, the sausages and eggs are just... you've had them before, for better and worse. The bacon was a bit floppy which I think is a bit of a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing, but the one stand-out was the gravy on the biscuits. It was really unusually herby in a way I liked but my wife didn't; she wanted more sausage in the gravy. Still, on all points better than if you were to go to a Denny's or iHop or something. In the end it was fine, but nothing to recommend for or against on the food side. However, the atmosphere was eclectic and different, the tables and everything were comfortable, in good shape, and clean, and most of all, the server was good at her job. It made us for welcome and at home, so it was a pleasant visit.

This is a typical dive bar with regulars at the bar looking hazily at their libations. Soft rock played in the background and lots of high tops beside the bar. I was asked to order and picked out deviled eggs and nachos! How could you go wrong even if they were so so? Well, the joke was on our friend because they were delicious! The deviled eggs had bacon crumpled on top with sliced green onions and were served on a bed of greens! The nachos were well covered and must have been prepared in layers.

My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to take her out, so about 10 of us headed into Bumpy's. The second we walked in we were greeted with eyerolls and a very bi**hy attitude from the bartender. Before we could even order, she yells "We don't serve anyone with a vertical". Okay - well apparently you don't like tips then? In Washington you can't get your horizontal until AFTER you turn 21. So that means the day of your 21st - you're going to have a vertical and probably will have it for the next 3-6 weeks after. Initially they tried to tell us it's the law. WRONG. The only law is that the establishment has to check the birthdate and the photo. The staff at Bumpy's wanted no part of that - which, how lazy can you get?! Call me crazy but I don't think many kids with fakes are going to get a VERTICAL fake! Use your brains Bumpy's. If the liquor board is on your a$$ for serving minors - it's not because you're serving people with vertical IDs. It's because you aren't checking the birthdate and the photo on the HORIZONTAL ID to begin with - and you clearly don't own a scanner. Zero reason to greet customers so rudely. Just bad business all around. Too bad, too.. We're good tippers. That bartender could've made about $300 just off us.
