“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!“

“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.“

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!“

“7/20/2024. Unassuming neighborhood pub, Nordic-inspired interior. Exposed wooden beams, wood-paneled walls envelop diners in rustic embrace; minimalist design embodies hygge—coziness and contentment. Chicken fried hamburger steak, a revelation; supremely fresh patty, tender beneath light, slightly sweet batter. Caramel-hued biscuits, fluffy, moist interiors; ample strawberry preserves in charming ramekins. Belgian waffle, enjoyable despite browning; fluffy interior bolstered by generous pour of real maple syrup. Unexpected star: fresh, sugar-dusted donuts, warm from fryer. Five delectable morsels per order, perfect for dunking into rich, bright Dancing Goat coffee—local Olympia roast. Petite ceramic creamers add touch of charm. Attentive staff ensure cups remain filled, needs met; friendly banter enlivens inviting atmosphere. (Thanks, Tish!) Glossy coffee cups sans saucers, side of donut preserves elevate experience. Cozy oasis seamlessly blends simplicity, comfort; hygge-filled haven for locals and visitors alike.“

The food is consistent and the pork chops with basil butter are excellent, the clam chowder is not overly spiced and the staff are very professional. We drive a long way to eat here, even if we dont gamble.“
