Nicole's Bar

We’ve driven by many times and finally made it in. Didn’t take advantage of the tap set up outside(pretty genius) but we grabbed a table immediately inside. Friendly, chill staff, like the vibe of the whole place. Good salad and the meatloaf sliders were perfectly done and super tasty. We’ll be back for a music outing!

First time here so that we could see the Kyle and Darin Band in their 6 piece glory. We were NOT disappointed. The place is super clean and very inviting. I was floored at how good the acoustics were for the shape of the building. The drinks were pretty good too. With the amount of people that were there, we never waited more than a few minutes to get a refill. The crew behind the bar really rocked. The best thing about it was, the diversity of people there was mind blowing' we LOVED it. All ages of folks all dancing, drinking, and having a great time. It's how things should be everywhere.

Ran sound here for a second time. Los Riffers on stage, and I recorded the set so I had to show up early and spend the entire day here. It is a very chill vibe. I had a French dip and it was surprisingly really, really good. It was a smaller, mellower crowd this time, but to me the venue really shone this time. The staff treated me with great hospitality, allowing me to set up and putting on my baseball game for me to help pass downtime. I was there from about lunch till closing and they were professional, clean, courteous, and very helpful. They went out of their way to hold doors open, make sure we were hydrated and fed, and comfortable. I spilled a drink at one point and was helped with it quickly and happily. Great little spot. Wonder what a more crowded show would be like in there, though I'm not sure they host that type of thing.

Pretty awesome place in the heart of Olympia downtown. Very accommodating with dietary restrictions. Can customize most appetizers to be vegetarian, the servers are super awesome and courteous. They have a nice private space that we ended up booking for our next visit with a larger group. Food is awesome, drinks are great foo, I can only vouch for the mocktails though. They don't have a blender they say, yet they made me a nice pinacolada and won my t stars right there itself. They customized my Mac and cheese with olives, bell peppers, onions to make it like a pasta. They're the best place to hang out that I've come across.

Racist. A white female with dirty blonde/light brown hair in two French braids was so rude. We were the only “black” people there and she asked us why don’t we tip. We tip at the end of the night. We ordered vodka cranberry and she literally poured straight cranberry juice. We had to pay for her to do her job. We felt unsafe and disrespected. We left early. Patrons at the bar apologized to us because they said that is a misrepresentation of this area. We were over charged for our drinks.

Went here for a good bite for the first time on a warm mid week evening. Went inside, and it was busy & VERY LOUD. A lot going on with tables, & a group of 8-10 women in the middle of the restaurant were having a major cackle-fest, hooting & hollering! We smiled, looked around, almost left, but decided to get a drink and eat outside. Bartenders were super busy, and it was a energetic place. I was here when it was the Underground years ago. Small outside sitting area, but we ordered and enjoyed the evening sky. It's right next to the road, so the noise can be daunting at times. Got our food, very nice server, and the salads were awesome. Good flavors, well appointed, and very tasty. Cold drinks, but you have to go in to get another as they don't (didn't) come outside to check.. the other 4 tables were left with dishes that new patrons had to push to the side. This was the smoking area we found out as well..ugh. I'll try it again.. Lively bar & place with good food. Lots of locals.

I've been here twice now for the diva drag brunch that they hold once a month, and I will continue coming back as long as the brunch is happening! Such a fun time, the queens are fantastic and the show is a great way to spend a Sunday early afternoon. The brunch is fine but that's not why I come. I come to support our local drag queens and show them they are welcome and loved here.

Food was great. Well priced, tasted amazing. Service was fantastic. Couldn't help but notice a funny smell in the restaurant.
