4th Ave Tavern

"Super duper fun place! I'm not gonna lie I didn't knew what to expect coming here. First time visiting bars around Olympia and this was our first stop! We were celebrating my besties 21st birthday and man this place was amazing. Pool tables, ping pong table, pinballs, darts, you name it they had everything fun."

"i just wanted to thank the bartender there tonight. i am currently houseless, which in a lot of ways is a crime and most certainly looked down upon by polite society and so i wanted to thank the bartender at this facility for giving me a rare gift. They kicked me out of the bar in the most optimal way i could have hoped for. i admittedly use wifi in public locations to communicate with my children from time to time and as I don't drink alcohol this can cause proprietors to feel as if my use of their wifi constitutes theft or that i am benefitting off of a service that is paid for by paying patrons and since I don't drink alcohol or have much to offer i shouldn't be able to use the services. i understand that they have a business to run, and that my use, of THEIR wifi, to talk to my son, is not their business model and certainly not one that will turn a profit. Further more, it is not their responsibility to ensure that i am able to talk to my son and it is well within their right to require me to purchase something to use their facilities. Fully agreed, and as a houseless person in Olympia I have been told to leave in a much more demeaning, dehumanizing fashion so i am truly thankful for the bartenders at the 4th ave tavern because they kicked me out in a way that didn't alert my son that his dad was being kicked out for being unable to purchase a drink and because they did so discreetly, I was able to retain what little dignity I have left and save face in front of my child. so thank you, it does mean a lot to occasionally feel as though my presence is not a complete blight and that maybe my son will go to bed wishing his dads wifi service was better so we could have talked a little longer instead of the reality which is your father can't even get together enough money for a drink that he will not have drank but what would have allowed him to talk about everything and nothing at all for just a little bit longer. thank you."

"this is usually my go to first choice place to play pool and hang out my only complaint is the weekends and how young the crowd and dynamic is. The services pretty good but could definitely use some improvement."

"Chill vibes, plenty of pool tables, and finger food to munch on while you play. We got fries, calamari, mini corn dogs. They were good and the beer selection was decent. Our friend group pretty much always ends up here at the end of the night one way or another"

"Courtney is back! The best bartender in town is back on the schedule after maternity leave. Baddie with a fatty and always bratty. Courtney - Downtown Olympia has missed you tremendously."

"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. "
