Five stars - great…read more We went here after pickleball on a Tuesday night. Because it was late, there were not a lot of restaurants that were open. We are sure glad that we discovered The Westside Tavern. The restaurant is a standard bar. You can order food at the bar, or you can sit down and a server will take your order. Service was a little slow, but it was not slow enough to impact my review. I got the Big Easy burger with tater tots. I had never seen a burger served with a sandwich bun, but it worked out great. The burger is large, so a bigger bun made it more manageable to eat. The burger itself was delicious. I liked the tater tots, but they paled in comparison to the fries (my partner got fries with their burger). We would definitely go here again.

The tots were so crunchy and had a great amount of Cajun seasoning. When I order tots at places I'm often disappointed because they're undercooked or very greasy or lack flavor, but these guys really nailed it. These tots were not greasy, as crunchy as they could have been and so tasty. Friendly service from the server with the cool short blonde hair and the rest of the team as well.

Before a show nearby we checked out the Spar Cafe. My husband and I are huge McMenamins fans and…read morethis was one we hadn't been to yet - perfect opportunity to get our McMenamin's passport stamped! The vibe here is identical to all of the other McMenamin's properties. Low lighting, eclectic, and lots of original components. So cool to see the pictures here from back in the day with little changed in the space! The barback here is super cool and you can tell it's original. Our waitress was great - she was nice and huge shoutout to her for recognizing we had our passports because we almost forgot to get them stamped (hate to say we do this pretty often). I always get their hazy IPA, it never disappoints. They also usually have good cider options for my husband which is always a relief since he can't do beer much anymore. The food at any of their properties is always pretty solid and that was true here as well. I went pretty basic and just got a cheeseburger, but it was delicious! Cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Stoked that we finally checked out this location - we'd definitely return if we were in the area again.

It complimented my hard cider perfectly. Well 80 is now on my preferred list of places to eat in Olympia! Great venue, great service, great food!

It was my first time in and honestly, I really couldn't be too upset. My buddy brought me in, the…read moreatmosphere was cool, pretty much what you'd expect from a brewhouse/restaurant, and the beer I had was good. Our server was fine overall. He wasn't particularly friendly when we first got there, and it did feel like the bill came pretty quick once we finished eating, but nothing that ruined the experience. Where I was disappointed was the portion size. I ordered the grilled chicken club, and for $15 for the sandwich alone, I was expecting a little more. That thing was tiny. I swear it was gone in about 3.5 bites. Then it's another $3 to add fries, which were good, but now I'm paying $18 for a sandwich and fries when the chicken breast itself looked like maybe 3-4 oz. A couple hours later I placed an online order for a burger for my wife since she was at an event nearby and was hungry. Same thing there. The burger tasted good, but the portion was pretty small for what we paid. That's really my biggest takeaway. The food was there taste-wise, the portions just weren't. I don't mind paying restaurant prices for good food, but at those prices I'd at least like to leave feeling like I actually ate something. I'm not saying I wouldn't be back, but maybe just for the beer and some fries.

I've been a bartender and waitress and know that tip depends on your service or lack of.

We've had him the last three times we've come in for family celebrations, and he's seriously the best. He's so patient, friendly, and always makes us feel welcome (and trust me, not everyone is as easygoing as my mom ). He absolutely deserves the recognition! If you're visiting Olympia, grab a flight of local wines, order the cheese fondue, and if the weather's nice, sit outside for sunset. Swing is one of those places that always delivers, and we'll definitely be back!

The food was definitely fresh and tasted good, but nothing to rave about in comparison to the price. When the weather is nice, their outdoor seating seems like a nice dining experience. We sat indoors and it was an intimate atmosphere. Parking is only street parking so prepare for that.

When we arrived, we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or someone would seat us. After waiting several minutes, we decided to just seat ourselves and one of the bartenders came over with menus and water. The menu is concise and I thought it was neat that they make their own ranch sauces. I got the chili cheese fries but with tots and my boyfriend got their polish dog and an order of waffle fries. It took some time to get our food but when we did receive it, the portions were bigger than what I expected and it was good. Our server was friendly and checked in on us every so often as well as the other patrons. She asked if we needed anything else and I asked if I could have their ranch, she asked which one and I told her that I would like to try both their regular and jalapeño. The jalapeño is definitely ranch that I've had with a great kick to it. The chili here was flavorful and had good chunks of meat, I wish there was a little less onion and more cheese. My boyfriend loved his Polish dog and waffle fries, especially how they cooked the onions. Only one thing that was a bummer was there were flies that were trying to get to our food and it was just annoying having to swat them away every couple of minutes. The inside is pretty huge as they have two pool tables, a TV playing, music playing at a good volume, and plenty of seating at their dining area and bar area. They do have outdoor seating too. Overall, not a bad spot to stop by to hang out or enjoy a good meal.

They carry guest taps of beer and cider for local breweries and cideries. I wasn't complaining though! The variety of beverages to pick from is diverse and the place has a nice, clean, sleek look. I think it's relatively new to that may play a factor with all that. There is an outdoor patio where you can kick back and enjoy. It's a little ways out of the main neighborhoods of Olympia but that is what makes it great because there aren't a lot of other businesses where it's located for the residents here.
