“Fun place with great energy, good wings, and a fantastic staff. Bree did a great job with trivia! Too bad the Mariners couldn’t do their part. 🤠“

“Love this place, patio year round (covered, heated) and friendly indoor space. Local hangout for the area. Can bring food from the carts outside. Don't forget to check out the to go beer/wine as well as the taps. They also have non alcoholic options.“

“good food..great music...small in the bar but comfortable“

“where should I begin..at first the service was great then we stepped outside and our food which we were not done with was gone then brought back all stacked which the original server stated he make it right but nothing was done to make the situation right shows how much they care about their customers..hummmm..service after that was terrible..also noticed alot of favoritism on regular customers..won't be back any time soon.“

“Been coming in here since the early seventies- kinda like coming home. (The old popcorn days 😂)“

“Excellent Food“

“Best pints in town! Especially on micro Monday and thirsty Thursday“

“Great place to hang out and jam to some karaoke. This is a cash only spot, but the drinks are cheap and strong. The back room is open before 9pm, and after 9pm, when karaoke starts, the rest of the bar is open. I haven't had any of the food yet so I really can't comment on that.“

“Covered outdoor seating. Reasonable prices. Dancing, great atmosphere, good music. Kitchen closes early though.“

“Can’t go wrong with a stop at the bully!“

“2 Mile House Pub & Eatery is a casual bar in Olympia with a friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere, and simple but satisfying pub grub menu. They offer daily specials, a pool table, and a small outdoor area. While it might not be the fanciest spot in town, it's a great place to unwind and have a good time with friends.“

“We stumbled upon this place walking around looking for something for lunch. Honestly my expectations were low we just wanted a cheap lunch with everything in the area being so pricey. Absolutely exceeded my expectations. The burger was honestly the best burger I’ve had in a while. Delicious, juicy, flavorful, 10/10 recommend! The staff were also super sweet!“

“Fun & Unique venue and crowd! Had a blast playing here. A must see in Olympia.“

“Best "Hole in the Wall" or "Hidden" bar in Olympia. Always had great Bartenders, upkept pool table, jukebox, punchboard (with phenomenal prizes), and a good variety of pull tabs. Def the place to go if u want to avoid large crowds or the whole Downtown Scene.“

“Better be hungry and thirsty. Nothing but good vibes and good food and drinks.“

“amazing service, food and atmosphere 😎“

“I haven't been here in several years now so this isn't going to be a recent up-to-date review...I had been going here for about 10 plus years, lots of bands and lots of rough necks that I would hangout with. The walking back in time aspect is what has always been the best part of this place, looking at the art, posters, album covers and photos that are all over the walls is awesome!! Only way to understand is to go and look at everything inside McCoy's yourself, the description of it all is only going to be from my personal viewpoint perspective and I'm not you!! Keep in mind however that there had been evergreen college students showing up now and then, most of those idiots are only there to exercise their whiteness and their dillusional self superiority complex over the lesser masses.... HA! The only superior anything they got is their lack of reality and false hope given to them growing up (only in age, otherwise their maturity factor is very low grade and still at the whole ' you are rubber and I am glue' stage of childish reprise.). Other than that, this used to be one of my favorite places to hang with friends. The owner is a great guy especially, and he is a tough man, he has endured many hardships over the years that I have observed and still has been able to show his worth by overcoming each hardship thrown at him!!“

“Need to get food while waiting for mom in hospital. Was good American grub. We had chicken mushroom grilled onions sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Fries with that. Yum.
Took a minute for wait staff to get my to go order, but the food was fast after that. People were chilling at the bar on a Saturday afternoon. Too cold inside.“

“So much delicious food, I could eat it everyday!!!! Don’t miss out on this flavor experience.“

“Amazing food! Nothing short of flavors from every direction! Great bar favorites & local brews.“

“Best banana split in town!!“

“This tavern is a gem. The food is cooked with care and you can tell when you get it. The brussel sprouts are a huge hit at any time. I tried a "special" called the CodFather yesterday with a hand battered piece of cod, topped with fresh sliced pastrami and some cheese on a slathering of coleslaw on a bun. It absolutely works!“

“Great service and great food. be sure and save room for dessert! Banana Annie was amazing!“

“Brilliant food with a side of tremendous warmth and hospitality from the wait staff. It felt as if we were dining with friends. The dishes were delicious, great beer on the side and they welcomed our pup with his own platter of bacon and puppy patty. 11/10 experience!“

“This place was pretty good as far as Mexican restaurants go. I loved the self serve chips and salsa bar. Each salsa was delicious. We were pretty disappointed that the kids menu said chicken nuggets with fries, but when it came out it was chicken tenders. Definitely not the same thing when it comes to kids. Hopefully they actually start serving nuggets soon for the kids!“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Amazing food with attention to detail and presentation. 😁Next best thing to being in Italy.“

“I asked for dance music (Amy Winehouse, Madonna). We got top 40 2013. Me, a supple and active female accompanied three other 22-22 year girls in boots asked for better music. To no avail. Bummer. We are leaving. Thanks for the one MJ and Donna Summers song. I don't need to revisit 2013.“

“Best omelettes ever and my coffee cup was never empty. Jessie and the staff make sure you get a smile when you come in.“

“i just wanted to thank the bartender there tonight. i am currently houseless, which in a lot of ways is a crime and most certainly looked down upon by polite society and so i wanted to thank the bartender at this facility for giving me a rare gift. They kicked me out of the bar in the most optimal way i could have hoped for. i admittedly use wifi in public locations to communicate with my children from time to time and as I don't drink alcohol this can cause proprietors to feel as if my use of their wifi constitutes theft or that i am benefitting off of a service that is paid for by paying patrons and since I don't drink alcohol or have much to offer i shouldn't be able to use the services. i understand that they have a business to run, and that my use, of THEIR wifi, to talk to my son, is not their business model and certainly not one that will turn a profit. Further more, it is not their responsibility to ensure that i am able to talk to my son and it is well within their right to require me to purchase something to use their facilities. Fully agreed, and as a houseless person in Olympia I have been told to leave in a much more demeaning, dehumanizing fashion so i am truly thankful for the bartenders at the 4th ave tavern because they kicked me out in a way that didn't alert my son that his dad was being kicked out for being unable to purchase a drink and because they did so discreetly, I was able to retain what little dignity I have left and save face in front of my child. so thank you, it does mean a lot to occasionally feel as though my presence is not a complete blight and that maybe my son will go to bed wishing his dads wifi service was better so we could have talked a little longer instead of the reality which is your father can't even get together enough money for a drink that he will not have drank but what would have allowed him to talk about everything and nothing at all for just a little bit longer. thank you.“
