16 Best Cocktail Bars in Olympia

“I was there last night with friends! We sat in the vault😉 It was private and fun ! Sam, our waiter was efficient and friendly …the drinks were very tasty too 😍“

“First time trying Uptown Grill today, and it’s no surprise that they’re contenders for (and previous winners of) the Best of South Sound! We tried their salmon fish and chips with sweet potato fries, chicken pot pie, and a couple of their cocktails, and dang it was delicious! They’ve got our votes from here on out in BoSS and we can’t wait to go 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!“

“My husband and I love Valentina's Restaurant so much!! Our favorite place in Olympia! We bring out of town guests here when they visit and they always love Valentina's too! Great food, great service and atmosphere! Excellent restaurant!“

“We just celebrated our engagement this past Saturday and it was absolutely wonderful. My fiancé and I stopped by a couple months ago to check it out and we're immediately greeted by the owners and shown around. Cher was fantastic to work with and I love the touches you can add to make your event special. We brought in a few of our own decor pieces and had the patio area out back. PLENTY of space, kid-friendly, and the walk up bar is such a nice touch. We ordered a variety of appetizers and a fruit platter in advance for the event which was such a great idea. Kelsey went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy. The staff was fantastic and attentive. Oh! And everyone loved the food. I love that there is a deviled egg on the app menu. The gochujang wings are so yummy and they make a mean club. I saw some burgers floating around that looked awesome as well. There are so many fun touches and I love the communal vibe. I would 1000 times over recommend hosting an event here. Thank you, Altitude 15.“

“Me & my girlfriend came in and had the best time! Renzo is the best server ever! He went into great detail about the menu and gave recommendations! He checked in regularly and made us feel like regulars. We sat by this cute wine wall and the inside of the restaurant is just beautiful. The food was delicious and fresh and the ice cream on bananas was the perfect touch! We came for brunch on the weekend but can’t wait to come back for the dinner menu!“

“Terrific Drink“

“Hadn't been in here since it was the cider place. Great music, good vibes. Dan the bartender was very cool. We had some seasonal cocktails and the mushroom & spinach pizza, which were all very tasty.

Love little places like this. Go visit and help keep 'em open!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“I had a wonderful experience, I was able to easily make a reservation and was immediately greeted when walking through the door. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and really paid attention, they noticed I wasn't eating the ketchup with my fries and brought out a few other options unprompted. The pacing was nice as well, I didn't feel rushed on top of the food coming out quickly. The Bone Marrow appetizer was definitely the highlight of my night, the presentation was beautiful and it was incredibly rich! For how high-end and fancy this restaurant is it was very affordable. Each of the dishes is easily shareable between multiple people. Will be going again!“

“This place is very quickly becoming out favorite place to eat dinner. The food is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The prices are more than fair. All of that being said, the best part of coming to eat here is our favorite server, Tanya. She is friendly, professional, and an absolute kick in the pants. It's like dining with your best friend. Tanya, don't change a thing, you are wonderful just the way you are, thank you for such great conversation and laughs, we absolutely adore you“

“Fabulous bartenders, especially on bingo night - always a good time!“
