12 Best Cocktail Bars in Olympia

“I absolutely love this place! The food is always delicious and the service is wonderful. Extra shout-out to Amanda who had our table on the night of the luminary procession. The place was super busy (of course) but Amanda made us feel like VIPs. Thank you so much for your attentiveness and letting us know about future events.“

“Great cocktails, fab atmosphere, wonderful service. We’ll be back!“

“Haven't been in here since I was 15 and got a soda during the day when kids could go to bars until 9 pm.. I loved the atmosphere and it was a nice look inside. Nice staff. Well loved spot by the regulars. Will be back again. It is a convenient location that makes it easy to stop by while I am in town. Right on the bus line too and a hop skip and jump to downtown. Thanks for the cheap drinks!“

“Perfect place for a romatic dinner or drinks out with friends. Live guitar music set the mood, we loved our wine flights and the food was fantastic! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and great view!“

“Food A+ perfectly cooked generous 12oz NY steak & Blackened rockfish! Flavor excellent on all sides. Server A+, this was our first visit and Victoria helped with all our questions like family. After ordering the wait for food was long but we were in no hurry. It would have been nice to have something to nibble on. We hadn’t expected the wait so we didn’t order bread or salad, everything is extra. The place could use something acoustic to cut the noise a notch, simply voices overwhelm the place. Music from the venue next door wasn’t a distraction, it was fine. Parking can be difficult. All in all, we will be back for the A+ parts make it way worth the visit.“

“Terrific Drink“

“Our first of many visits. The food was to die for, everything is very fresh and home made. The owner and the staff are wonderful and make the experience over the top. My wife has a shelfish alergy and they went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable she could eat without worry. 100% recommend and we will be back.“

“I’ve had lobster bisque all over…this place is the best I’ve ever had in my life. We went for the first time this evening and will definitely return. Atmosphere was amazing, we had an incredible server and the oysters were the best- I had kummies and tried the shuckers choice which was a local WA choice and they didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend!“

“So glad we found this place!!! Everything was amazing, from the fish tacos to the margaritas!!!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at 1889 Prime Steakhouse. Our server, Micah, was very nice and personable, and the entire staff was attentive and prompt throughout the evening.

We started with seasonal cocktails, French onion soup, and a seasonal salad with blackberry balsamic—everything was fresh and flavorful. For the main course, we enjoyed garlic mashed potatoes, a perfectly cooked surf and turf with filet mignon and lobster tail, and a ribeye steak. Every bite was delicious. Bread at the start of the meal was a nice touch.

The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, making it easy to talk and enjoy the evening. Reservations made the experience seamless with no wait time. Parking was also convenient—there’s free designated parking on the north side of the building, with the entrance on the east side by the ramp.

Overall, an excellent experience with outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“BEST Bloody Mary around, and trust me, I have tried them all. The burgers are amazing, the salad, the specials, I could go on and on. All of that combined with attentive staff that always gets it right. Hard to find a gem like this, 10/10 recommend!!!“

“some of the best chicken fried steak I have had in a long time, and the service was fast, today was my wife's first time there and she loved it“
