21 Best Pubs in Salem

“I went here to attend a birthday party and the games there are a lot of fun. I only bought one drink, which was great, but the service was a bit rude.

The lady was frustrated with the card reader not working, which is understandable. Though, not my fault, and I even attempted 5 different ways for it to take my card. It kept timing out and saying there was an issue with the internet. She finally set it to offline mode and it took my card. Hopefully the owner can figure out a way to replace the card reader.

Overall, definitely a fun place to go and I'd recommend it. I'm rating the food a 3, as a general middle ground. I believe they have a food cart there, but it was closed and I bought no food. Google is just making me rate it, unfortunately.“

“I would like to THANK the Owners, and Staff, of the Half Penny! You made accommodations for a dual family Birthday party for us today. The food was delicious, the staff took care of our needs, and the customer service was PHENOMENAL! You can tell that they really support not only their customers, but each other, as well. THANK YOU, again, for the great experience! I plan on enjoying their nightlife very soon. 😁“

“One of the best places for amazing service and great beers. As a longtime restaurant owner and manager, I really appreciate the Over-the-top, attentive, friendly service from my 2 times stopping here (from 2 different female servers). Thank you and we'll be back.
Food trucks we haven't tried yet.“

“I went in there tonight to play the VP machines and at most places when you put up a sign there's a time limit on how long someone has to wait until they're able to play that machine. well this lady had her sign up for longer than the time that I had been in the establishment and admit it to playing the machine I was waiting for for longer than 2 hours and so there was no money in the machine so I took the sign off and I proceeded to put my money in because you know I was waiting for the machine and not only did the person working there team up and attack me for taking the sign down but her boyfriend and her boyfriend's friend also ganged up on me so I had four people just getting up on me in this place with them all being completely in the wrong including the person working there. It's their own rules that they have set in place. I followed their rule and i was treated as though i stole this person's money out of the machine. Don't have rules and signs stating certain things and not follow them. I DO NOT recommend ever going to Jade garden on Lancaster and off of Center Street. Not only do the people who are supposed to be in charge of keeping the rules intact are a bunch of tweakers but as well as the people that go in there are drug addicts drunks and there's no professionalism whatsoever. Very disgusted with this BUSINESS!“

“Since Luckys on commercial has been closed due to covid been going here and love it like I love the other!!!“

“Great prices, love all of the food and concession options, and the seats are really comfortable!“

“😍 she’s the best we love Christina! A lot of fun! Love this bar“

“The customer service and food is awesome 😎“

“Westside is without question the best taphouse in Salem. Great variety of beers, ciders, and wines that skew PNW local. Almost always something new and unique to try. Small selection of cans & bottles to go. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Year round outdoor seating as well.

Kid-friendliness: 21+“

“thank you Wendi for a perfect haircut. I love it.“

“I've been to this place many times. And the bartenders are always on it. As well as give genuine conversation and not scripted remarks. That alone can make a not so good place seem wonderful. As for li'l Sammies though, it has other amenities as well. Drinks made proper, good fried food as well as sandwiches, and a couple machines set away from the main gaming room if you want to socialize with friends at the bar while playing. Overall A+“

“I love this place with all my heart amazing service, great drinks, awesome bartenders especially Shawn, Nicky, and Jenna!!! Love those peeps!!! Everyone knows i love Don Julio I mean not him personally but his drinks smh not sure if that sounds better idk but I love Sammie’s i should work here jkjk !!! Naw I’m not serious ab that one but yeah come here and get faded and have a great time and meet nice people and if you see me say what’s up bruv!!!“

“Didn't eat, stopped in to regroup, stretch, and refresh. Out of towner but the atmosphere was fun, friendly and not uninviting, the sounds of people enjoying themselves, chatting, and decompressing from their days made for a familiar environment in an unfamiliar place. Good job.“

“Great place. Just go and experience it yourself!“

“Love this neighborhood bar“

“Great little bar looking out over the Salem Airport runway.“

“Beautiful big screen tv’s but hard to view with with super bright overhead bar lights.“

“The most special-occasion restaurant I patronize. Classy ambience, view, sharp personnel. As a senior dining alone I don't feel as comfortable here as I would at Josey's, say, otherwise I would patronize them weekly. I lunch only, and have had what I would call pub grub. Regulars who review on other forums report that the kitchen is capable of performing at a very high level. An exceptional venue for Salem and it deserves to live.“

“Amazing place! Amazing food! Amazing decor! Amazing beer! Clean bathrooms!“

“This place makes a yummy Angus cheeseburger the server Melinda she is so tuned in to the customers and she keeps us all safe here at lucky dog thank you“

“First time there this past weekend. The vibe is very Salem #iykyk and lowkey #lowkey. The staff are really good people who care about the community they’ve built. The live music room is a legit mini concert venue you can walk into from the main bar. Go here if you want to have a good time with good people!“
