Beautiful cocktail lounge with Roman-style pizza, delicious drinks, and excellent wine… one of my favorite haunts in downtown Olympia!

This is a unique gem. A big city experience in our little community. Forget the 4.3 rating. The reviews go back at least 11 years and most are no longer relevant. You need to get here while the Jasmine garden in the secluded and quiet, covered, open air patio is still in bloom. The sensory experience is unforgettable! You will even enjoy this while it’s raining.
The Mark is now a sophisticated cocktail bar, with luxuriant real wood wall paneling, genuine leather seating, a beautiful and well stocked bar, real art and bits of humor and history make touring the walls, drink in hand, a moment worth repeating.
The pizza is the real thing, think Rome, not Chicago. You can cut the chef’s accent with a knife. and do hope he’s parked his 63 Porsche out front.
Yes, you do have to walk to and from the bar for your order, and pay cash (there a $2 ATM). But that bit of effort earns you excellent drinks, fairly poured, reasonably priced. And for us extreme radicals who get our cash from the credit union we help the owner behind the bar, who created this evening refuge for us, stiff the banks.
I love this place. Let’s keep it.

Run now to The Marks courtyard! The yard is in full Jasmine bloom! It smells like heaven. Have a cocktail or nibble on a salad or pizza. Go now!

Nice place for a quiet dinner. I wanted to like the food way more than I did considering the price. I'd give it another shot.

Visited a month ago for the first time with friends and took my husband tonight because it quickly became a favorite. He agreed that the atmosphere is so unique and nostalgic that we absolutely be back. This has now officially become our go to spot for a fancy drink. The vibes, menu, and art/photography are unbeatable.

What a cool atmosphere to sip and look at art! I had a fantastic evening with friends in this vibe friendly, nostalgic, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the owner put their heart, energy and love into every decision made for this space. I can’t wait to bring everyone I know here to here!

It’s the perfect blend of new and old in a beautiful symphony of art, music, decor and community. You can sense the history, passion and care that’s brought to the space. We spent a long time walking with our beautiful cocktails enjoying the art and it started plenty of conversations with my friends. We will 150% be back to enjoy the pizza and try other cocktails. The Manhattan was delicious!
Love the Mark!! Used to come back in the day, and since the pandemic the shift to Roman style pizza has been a cool evolution. The space is warm and I love the art and photography on the walls. We had delicious pizza and I could taste the fresh olive oil with each bite. The wine was also really good. We will be back soon!

Delicious Roman style Pizza. The setting and artwork create a cool ambiance, gives a sort of speakeasy vibe. This is not The Mark you used to know when it comes to the food; loved the pizza! Can't wait to come in again and try other pizzas :-)

One of the oddest, almost worst, dining experience ever. Had a reservation, so we could sit anywhere but we were not told to order at the bar and were not told it was cash only. After being seated for 10mins with no service, we almost walked out. Figuring out that no one was going to help us my spouse went to the bar to order, which is done by pencil and paper by checking off what you want from a sheet. Ordered wine so we didn't have to wait 20mins for a cocktail as we were seeing happen around us. Pizza was a joke, tasted like a fancy Frozen pizza made at home. Won't return and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Solo bartender, who was also taking all orders and making the pizzas. No staff to serve a restaurant full of people.

amazing, this is the cutest high end hole in the wall!!! love their martinis!!!! owner is amazing and so sweet! drinks are to die for!!!

Such a cool little spot! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a classy, thoughtful, quality cocktail experience. The owner (who is also a badass bartender by the way) built the business from the ground up on her own and is clearly responsible for how flawlessly it has turned out. If you want some fresh air and a quiet chat, the lush back patio is a great amenity with heaters and plenty of seating. I ordered a dirty vodka martini and it was perfection ?
Fantastic!! The pizza and people can’t be beat.
