“Canters is like going back into a small town bar! Deary! Genesee! Troy! Bovill! Potlatch!! And that’s what makes it great!
You have Angie , who’s just the sweetest bartender. So much fun to talk too and such a hard worker!Angie cares deeply for the bar and the patrons whom support it! Then you have Katie, who lets just say she’s little miss spitfire! You can sit and converse with her on any topic and she will know exactly what you’re talking about! It’s also impossible to offend her. She also Carrys some weird type of hillbilly accent which is adorable, and she’s known for making your drinking experience 10 times funner!! Both Angie & Katie are absolutely gorgeous! Angie is the teenie tan blonde with long sparkly hair. Her drink specialties are the purple Viking shot, and We hear she makes her own lemonade for drinks as well! Katie’s got the curves with the dark hair and sultry green eyes that will melt you in your chair! And boy, does she know how to make the drinks! Clamdiggers, bloody Mary’s and anything sweet is her specialty. She is from potlatch, so you better ask her for a jagerbomb!!
New on board is Joe. Is he a hillbilly? Or is he a cowboy? Let your imagination run wild with this 6ft6 hottie patotie! He’s a great conversationalist, knows how to make drinks, and knows how to swoon the ladies! He’s from Tucson Arizona, so he’s the one to go to if you need this super rare, super fancy drink made that you had one time in neworleans. Well, he’s gonna be your best bet with that anyhow 🤣 unless you know what the ingredients are, than all 3 bartenders can easily bust that out.
Duane, Cowboy Duane is the karaoke king! He’s backed up by teeny tiny Jenn, on nights he can’t be there. Both of them will make you want to sing your hearts out! Then there is Warren, who is such a people pleaser on the MIC. He is known to cover for free when anyone is sick. Just don’t forget to tip not only your bartender, but your DJs!! They don’t get paid much to come give you some good old fashioned entertainment, make it worth their while!!!
Then we have Ron of corse! He is the ringleader of this circus! And you could not ask for a nicer boss.(he’s kind of gorgeous too) Canters holds a special place in his heart, so will he get grumpy at times, yes, will he get stubborn at times, yes, but that’s because he’s been running the show for something like 30 years. I’ve never had a boss who was so open to change, open to input, and open to realizing his staff have life’s, and work needs to be worked around each workers life, to maintain that happy work - home balance.
Ron also bartends!! And cooks!! And boy he cooks like no other! You can catch him bartending occassionally Wednesday days - Saturday days. He cooks Friday and Saturdays 12-8pm. So come grab one of his homeade pizzas! Along with some wings!! You may order pickup or delivery! Or you may eat it upstairs in the bar! Ron can also make you some delicious cocktails that will compliment your meal. Yep folks, he’s that good.

Canters has its staff nailed! I promise you, you do not want to miss out! From bingo, to trivia, to homeade pizza, to karaoke.. there’s always something for everyone!
Don’t forgot, the beer garden has horseshoes. And cornhole. Along with a fireplace and tv and outdoor seating. Football games are usually on, along with whatever other shows you may want to watch!

There’s also pull tabs and light gambling inside! Along with the jukebox!
Katie & Scottie make homeade Jell-O shots on occasion, so make sure your swinging by frequently so you do not miss out!!

Love: ♥️♥️ the canters staff & best patrons ♥️♥️“

“The environment is 10/10 here! Best cocktails and food in the LC valley in my opinion. Our favorite place to meet up with friends and family💙“

“Today was our one year anniversary. My wife and I came from Naches, WA. Our server tonight was just amazing. Super friendly with a smile and laugh that made our night. Thank you.“

“Upbeat and always the best specialty cocktails and beer choices! The staff are absolutely fantastic and always make you feel like you are welcome! If you have yet to experience The Drinky Box YOU must! 👍🔥👊“

“Holy Smokes! WOW! Hands down the best meal we have ever had tonight. We were up on a quick trip and wanted to go out on a nice date since we had no kids. Chef Robert 👏 👏 👏 👏 the Focaccia Halibut was absolutely perfection in my mouth. Juicy and flavorful and just the right portion. My husband had the Surf & Turf New York and shrimp. The sauce was like heaven. We also had the Mushroom Fondue. I could drink it by the cup. Huckleberry margaritas were very generously poured and absolutely spot on. Finished the night with the Cheesecake covered in fresh pureed peach and fresh garden picked Raspberries. I will drive 6 hours anytime just to eat here again. Our Waitress was one of his sons girlfriends and was so on top of it. Thank you all so much for a wonderful dining experience. We will be back.“
