The place has really nice servers. The food was good. Didn't expect anything great from bar food. Although the salad looked a lot meaner than the burger! Drinks weren't bad but they weren't great either. I think it seemed like one of the only places to go in Orting on a Friday night because the crowd it started drawing in was so varied. Karaoke on a Friday was fun. Didn't know if I'd find a reason to come back unless I lived here other than the nice staff.
Change your hours if you're not even open till midnight. 11:08pm

It was a meeting place for a few of us to gather and eat. I think we all liked the food, we got there before anything really got going, so that worked for us. As we were leaving, it started to get pretty busy.

Blonde lady can be a little more tactful on how she approaches people.

Just an all around dump! Foods horrible! Maybe that's why it's so dark in there so ya can't see your food. Over priced, I could go on for an hr on how icky this place is, just don't go in there, ever!

Place great! People Cool!!! Food was cold and smuchie and gross. Chicken Sandwich/Burger, fries cold. No willing to rectify….
I don't love - nor hate - the Spar Pole. It's just an alright hole-in-the-wall which I believe is the goal for the owners.However, I would love to see it turn into a true sports bar. They have the space and the foundation. Add more bar stools and high tops; upgrade from rock-hard bar stools to decently comfortable units; there are a few small tvs with glaring bright spots, and a projection screen that is clearly burnt out.Upgrade those tv's and projector. And just one example here: tell the staff to air Thursday night football games instead of senior citizen footcare infomercials. Seriously, have the Kraken, Mariners, and Hawks schedules posted for your staff and make sure the games are turned on before they start.The beer is great here, and reasonably priced. The salads and burgers are top-notch. The $10 dinners (when they are posted) are pretty good. I do wish there were more $5 side dishes to snack on as most of the $11 appetizers seem way overpriced for the Costco freezer food that they are.In a nutshell, this could be a 5-star rating.-Fix the TVs and broadcast sporting events at all times.-Upgrade the bar stools.-Get a few more high top tables.-Add some cheap snacks/sides to the menu.All areas where rival L&M win my business. Fortunately for Spar Pole, the L&M hired some awful bartenders with nasty attitudes so we keep our business at the Spar now.

New to the area , went in for the first time, I have to say it’s a nice place a lot of tvs we ordered about $400.00 in drinks played darts and pool good service.however at the end the waitress came out in the middle of the street and yelled at us NEVER TO COME BACK AGAIN cus we left her a $16.00 tip. Keep in mind we had to go to the bar and get our own drinks and take back the empty’s . All she ever did was bring out the wings and fry’s once. So I guess they rather lose $500 that we spent.
