40 Best Bars near Auburn

“I had an outstanding experience at The Rock Wood Fired Pizza thanks to the exceptional service provided by Sarah H. From the moment she greeted our table, her energy set the tone for the entire visit. She was friendly without being overbearing, attentive without hovering, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure guests had a great time. It’s rare to find someone who strikes that perfect balance, but Sarah did it effortlessly.

Throughout the meal, Sarah checked in at just the right moments—never interrupting conversation, but always appearing when we needed something. She knew the menu inside and out, offering helpful recommendations and answering questions with confidence. Her timing was spot‑on, and every interaction felt personal rather than routine. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it shows in the way she treats her guests.

What stood out most was her professionalism paired with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. She made the experience feel smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Great food is important, but great service is what makes you want to come back—and Sarah H is exactly the kind of server who elevates the entire dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’ll absolutely be asking for her section again.“

“I went with friends and liked it more than I expected to. The vibe was comfortable, not too loud, not too fancy, and honestly that balance is harder to find than it should be. It was easy to sit, have drinks, talk for a while, and not feel rushed, which made it a great girls night option. Go when everybody wants to go out but nobody wants chaos.“

“We decided to try this place for the first time for our anniversary and it was a hit! The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was good maybe to some it would be loud but it's a bar with sports on inside a casino so that's just normal to me. They served delicious food!! The apps were incredible and then we got the meals and we were blown away! Cooked to perfection and so tasty!! We will be coming back for sure! We ordered the crab crusted sirloin, side house salad, calamari, 2 oysters, Manila clams and the Ruben! They surprised us at the end with a sundae on the house for our anniversary as well! I feel they went above and beyond in all aspects...TRY THIS PLACE OUT!“

“It’s a fun place to hang out,the waitress’s are awesome and the owner (Pedro), well he’s awesome too. Would totally recommend this place to family and friends.“

“very friendly with great food.“

“Place was organized and clean with good music. All staff was respectful and courteous but Rico- this man deserves a raise his service and attitude is amazing will definitely be returning.😊 Keep it up Imperial!“

“The new cook you have is terrible. He can't cook worth beans. How hard to screw up bacon and eggs. He did this 4 times since I ordered it. This go was bacon under cooked and eggs were burnt. Sent it back just scraped burnt off. Leaving me 1 and 1/4 egg. No use in complaining. They don't care anymore.“

“This is fun when you want more than just a meal and everybody in your group has a different idea of what counts as a good time. It is very easy to turn a quick stop into a whole evening here because there is always something to do. You go in thinking food first and maybe a couple games and then suddenly it has been two hours and someone is taking air hockey more personally than the situation requires. The mix of food, games, and general chaos works better than it should. That is probably the magic of a place like this. It gives you enough structure that nobody has to make a plan but enough going on that the night does not feel flat. I would absolutely bring the kids here on a energy day, though my son would need a little pregame speech about indoor voice versus arcade excitement and how those are not in fact the same setting. It is the kind of place that can carry a birthday, a casual group outing, or just a random night when nobody wants to sit still. Go when you want dinner plus something to do and do not feel like overthinking it.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food, nice vibe and great craft cocktails.“

“I am trying to find out if you ship the cans and what the shipping to Las Vegas Nv would be“

“unremarkable exterior - difficult to see if it was open from the street. what a pleasant and welcoming interior. wonderful staff wonderful and like the quotes posted on walls.“

“Love this place. Been going here for years.“

“Such a hidden gem in Seattle! This place has the perfect late-night izakaya vibe — cozy, lively, and casual without feeling too loud or overwhelming.

The food is especially good for sharing. Everything comes out hot and flavorful, and there’s a great variety of Japanese-style dishes and late-night comfort food. It’s the kind of place where you order a bunch of different things for the table, grab a drink, and somehow end up staying much longer than you planned.

What I really like is the atmosphere. It feels warm and intimate, almost like a little neighborhood spot you’d stumble into late at night in Japan. The staff are friendly and the whole place feels relaxed and welcoming.

Seattle honestly needs more places like this, especially since so many restaurants close early. Definitely one of my favorite spots for late-night food, drinks, and hanging out with friends.“

“We were checking out Wayne's to come another time because we'd already had a meal. We were pleasantly surprised it wasn't loud + the atmosphere was nice. It was cool in there and we checked out the menu and we're definitely going to go back. So more to follow.“

“Truly the best staff anywhere.,“

“My husbands BLT sandwich was really good. I would not recommend the Cobb salad. The restaurant did not seem real busy and the wait was long.“

“I LOVE Shelby and Michael they're the usual tenders when I'm here. the food hits everytime, Michael generally has a recommendation for the seasonal on tap, hasn't disappointed at all. caskades has pinball and lots of fun events every month, and family friendly. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME“

“Rarely do I write reviews but feel this hidden gem deserves great praise! Our server Tanya was amazing… Very friendly with excellent service; menu options mainly burgers, salads and sandwiches with large delicious portions! The spectacular view of Mt. Rainier topped off our evening!“

“Don't get me wrong I love Bumpies, but...if I could have it my way, from the hours of 3 to 6pm when the white hairs are enjoying a drink and dinner; do not play the music so loud. I don't want to listen to Jimi Hendrix turned up when I am visiting with my sisters. Later when the young folks come out crank it.“

“The food is terrific here, the people are even better. Always a friendly greeting, always great service. Never had a meal here that I didn't like. Highly recommend for your neighborhood hangout place.“

“Great food and wonderful people. Had a fabulous turkey dinner tonight!“

“Great hotel bar with friendly staff. There’s a few good local beers on draft and plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard and board games too. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that but definitely a decent place to hang out if staying here night before a flight from Seattle.“

“One of our favorite places to go, we are always treated very good, friendly and fun, have met some really wonderful people there. Really good karaoke and host/hostess.“

“Absolutely the best brewery in our little town of Edgewood! The Cubano sandwich is so good and so is the reuben Kim chee ! Jannai is such a delight!“

“Every sandwich I have decided on has been so tasty. I’m not a huge fan of potato salad unless we make it at home but theirs is so good, I upgrade to it every time. If your a Mimosa fan like I am try 1 you will definitely enjoy. If you have not given this place a try I recommend to do so, it’s well worth it ❤️“

“Absolutely love this place and all the food, tv game options and the pool table is always available. Friendly customers and always a conversation to be had. Staff is great minus one lady who always looks like she's ready to tell you your puppy died and is quite short and unfriendly“

“the food was tasty. it was hard to hear the foul mouths of the other patrons. not a place for kids.“

“Came in for take out, since I'd heard good things, and was not disappointed! The front end staff was so friendly, and the food was delicious. This is the only Thai restaurant that actually makes my red curry as spicy as I ask for. When I asked for spicy, they delivered! I'll definitely be returning!“
