I decided to come here with a friend. ended up meeting a couple other girls and was having a really needed night. unfortunately the bartender waited until my friends left and my other friend was in the bathroom before she accused of not paying when I did. I came in after speaking with a friend, and was told "I will not be letting you order any drinks since you ordered, never paid, and never drank it." I had a drink and a half and wasn't drunk at all. I told her I did pay because I had asked my friend who was holding onto my debit card for it back. and the second I came back inside I finished my drink. I never left anything unattended. they didn't like that I spoke up for myself. and so her and the other lady started yelling at me demanding me to leave, I said I needed to make sure I didn't leave anything. I have adhd as well and struggle with object permanence. I tend to easily forget things and I'm aware of this. instead of allowing me to look around for my belongings like I stated, they put their hands on me, and grabbed me. triggered some INTENSE PTSD and anxiety. I felt under attack. even as I was walking out they continued to follow me and harass me. now. I have spent the last few years to myself due to all the trauma I've faced. so the fact that I had gained the courage to get out of my house, to enjoy myself, to be able to have a drink, just to end up harassed to this extent. I would never treat ANYBODY this way, so to me it's actually sickening and disheartening that I now feel to anxious to go back to a bar downtown because of this particular situation. don't bother coming here if you have any issues with anxiety, it's not worth it. don't waste your money on people who willingly can assault someone who's just trying to walk away.

This is my favorite place to play pool! Grungy hole in the wall type of establishment but I always have a great time! Tasty drinks and amazing staff! They are always so friendly and a lot of fun! You can be yourself here free of judgment! Its very popular on the weekends so I try to get there a little early. Great vibes, I love this bar!

Good bloody Mary's & great bartender.

Came in tonight with a friend after being turned away from the Viking lounge for having a “fake id” because it was up and down. Came in and the server was very nice and checked out or id’s and surprise surprise they weren’t fakes like the bar accused us of having. Played pool for a few hours, had some drinks and overall the feel of being there was way better. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time and just to have a chill place to have a beer and play some pool! Thanks 4th ave for being awesome and it’s now my favorite bar to come to!

Nice small hole in the wall joint. Good for a bar hopping experience. Drinks were really really strong. The one long Island had me cringing each sip from the alcohol.

I love this bar. Lots of closed bars in Olympia unfortunately when compared to pre-Covid. This place has wonderful drinks and the staff is amazing. The food is good, Bar food but delicious with a beer. Love all the pool tables and good music played there. Big booths in the front for conversations. The line can get long on Friday and Saturday but always worth the wait. Big thanks to the staff for always being able to laugh while dealing with so many people at once. ????

Super cool spot with lots more space then you would think from just seeing the outside. Air hockey, pool tables, plus some cool vid games to keep you busy. Def wish the smoking area wasn't pretty much a fully enclosed room, but that's coming from a non-smoker.

Alright place. Food is really good and the portions are large. The atmosphere is something you have to be accustomed to, I can't really explain it in words, but while this place is not my scene, the food and booze are on point.
