21 Best Pubs in Salem

“I love walking into the Tsunami. Jason and his wife are very welcoming coming into their establishment. And the staff are very welcoming also. Their menu has a lot to pick from. Their tap beers and ciders are excellent to pick from. Welcome back!“

“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. 😁“

“I cruised in here to snag a pint and a bite on my way down the I5. Worth the brief detour from the freeway. Way more chill than driving into one of the cities. Great drink selection. Very clean spot. Ample parking. Great food carts. Outdoor seating and bay doors 🤘 vibes. Entertainment sometimes too. Recommend. Bartender generously let me taste a variety of brews I’d never heard of.“

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

“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!“

“Nice place except they employ somebody who has a thing for young ones“

“The customer service and food is awesome 😎“

“I absolutely love this bar, Sophia is my favorite bartender she gives the best service and is very kind and caring always making sure everyone is doing ok and if they need anything else, it’s a very welcoming bar and honestly I’m always cashing out in the machines on the daily“

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Love this neighborhood bar“

“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!“
