Absolutely horrible visit due to insanely rude service. My partner and I visited the Lotus Room on…read more1/3/25 for a family member's birthday celebration. This was actually our first time *ever* going to a bar, and our visit here completely ruined the experience for us. After about 10-15 minutes, a staff member asked to check our ID's. My partner attempted to use a digital version of his ID, and the staff member (in an extremely rude tone) said that he had to leave if he couldn't provide proper ID. Totally get that. He tells her that he'll go to his car to get his physical ID, and immediately gets up after their conversation ends. Another 15 minutes rolls around, and the same staff member has came to our table plenty of times. My partner has his ID out to show her. Never comes around until someone from our party gets up to complain about the slow service, and mentions that my partner and I are also still waiting. The staff member tells the person from our party that my partner supposedly left because he couldn't provide an ID. They mention that he only left to retreive his ID from the car, which was communicated to the staff member earlier. A few minutes later, this staff member comes storming up to my partner and begins YELLING and POINTING HER FINGER in his face. She asks him what his deal is, exclaiming that he didn't have his ID, etc. My partner tries to explain that he got it from his car, but she wouldn't even let us get a word in. After a few minutes of her just completely berating us in front of our ENTIRE party and bar, he asks if everything is okay now that he has his physical ID. The staff member begins quizzing him, not believing that it's actually his, and asks him to verify his name and birthdate. Obviously he passed, and she gives him back the ID. Right after, she turns to me and yells, "What do you want?!" I was completely taken aback, not realizing that she was trying to take my drink order. We place our order and attempt to enjoy the rest of the night, but the staff member wouldn't stop bothering us about Washington State laws. I swear she came over 5 times, just completely berating us and making us feel insanely uncomfortable. If you read this review and think, well duh. You need an ID to get into a bar. Let me once again clarify that it was our first time *ever* visiting a bar. I completely understand that this staff member was trying to protect herself and the business from serving alcohol to underage individuals, but the treatment we faced was out of line. There was no reason for her to be screaming at us, pointing her finger in my partner's face, or consistently bothering us about laws throughout the rest of our visit. It could've been resolved in a much better manner. Ultimately, we won't be returning to the Lotus Room, which totally sucks because we love their whole concept of drinks and karaoke. In fact, we probably won't feel comfortable in the bar scene for a while. My one recommendation for the Lotus Room is that if you're going to scream in customer's faces, get someone to check ID's at the door.

My toddler had space to play without interrupting anyone. I ordered fries right off the bat for said toddler and they came out quickly. Amazing fries and fry sauce, the sauce has a little bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. For the table we had motz sticks and fried ravioli. The motz sticks had a nice cheese pull and were decent. I wasn't a fan of the ravioli, just personal preference. I ordered the working man burger and wow was I impressed with the HUGE well cooked patty, smoked cheese, bacon and garlic aioli. I could honestly only eat about 1/4 of the burger after the appetizers. I can however confirm the burger and fries reheated well at home in the microwave.

We've always sat in the main part of the Tavern, but the first person arriving chose to sit in the side room which seems to be a back-up supplies room with a long table for guests since it was quieter. It was quieter. No matter the sitting location, the service has always been great. I had the Reuben sandwich, and it was excellent--flavorful, well made, and generously portioned. Even better, they actually had horseradish available, which is surprisingly hard to find and made the whole thing even better for me. A solid, satisfying meal with plenty to take home half for the next day. I'll definitely be back.

We quickly decided that this is a place we will be coming back to! It's literally an indoor golf campus with five or six simulation Stations where you get to choose between what seemed like hundreds of different courses and play them with as many or as few people as you'd like, for a predetermined amount of time. They've also got a putting green, and you can bring your own clubs or rent some there. We grabbed one of the stalls for two hours, and five of us had a great time! The set up is pretty quick and you can make it so you can save your information and follow yourself overtime. It's pretty cool to be able to develop a handicap on the simulator! I've got a full bar and basically Gastropub type food. The bacon cheeseburger that I had was quite good, as were the shared nachos, wings and cheese curds. Prices are not outrageous and the beer and liquor selection was actually pretty solid. The place is super relaxed and the service was quick and friendly. This is a spot that I will be back to with friends, and probably a spot I will take my boys to practice. The place chill enough that it's the sort of place you can take kids, your significant other, or meet up with a bunch of buddies. It was nice to not be rowdy, but also to not have to be quiet like on an actual golf course.

Quirky Irish themed decor, strong drinks, and a surprisingly killer menu. Have been popping in here periodically for 30+ years (in the 90s it was our go-to for cocktails when the now-defunct dance club was next door). Last weekend we were looking for somewhere to wind down on a Sunday night to watch the Seahawks game, have a couple drinks and some dinner. The super friendly bartender seemed to be masterfully running the whole front of house alone. Never disappointed by the food here: Hubs had the corned beef & cabbage and I had the Blarney Burger (double patty with a fried egg) side of delicious potato salad. The portions were big so we took enough home to have for lunch the next day. Local favorite!

As yous know, I struggle to give reviews for places without going three times at least! However, I…read moremust review in hopes that maybe they would care and change some things! First, I walked in the door, and wasn't sure what to do, as it looked as though the dining room was not in use. I walked to the bar and it had quite a few people in so I asked the bar tender should I sit anywhere. She told me sure, she'd be right with me. She seemed busy and very distracted (having bar tended I know what it can be like) however, when she finally came up wait on me she seemed annoyed! She didn't have any clue what to recommend for cider (come on, its an Irish pub), again I heard the table next to me ask for Irish beer, again she seemed annoyed and told them they won't get anything like that here (really, at an Irish pub)! Not impressed! However, the reason I gave 2 stars is because of the decor, and Frank, the server who took over after the first waitress left! He was great! He was attentive, very friendly, and an excellent waiter. Now, to the food! Gross! I pulled my fish ssnebich apart cause it was so greasy I almost couldn't eat it! The halibut was way over cooked, it was tough and the outside with soaked with grease! For me, this is the nail in the coffin! As a chef, and food critique, I know I'm picky, but I would never have allowed the sandwich I was served to leave my kitchen! The decor, and the quaint wee dining room was a great place to eat lunch! However, the music was too loud, and it was classic rock, which in other atmospheres would not be an issues, but again, this is supposed to be an Irish pub! What this actually is, is an American bar that maybe at one time was run like an Irish pub, but it's not anymore! Makes me sad cause I thought maybe I found a place to go when we are in Yakima! Not so much! I hope they make some changes, but it seems there are lots of locals who are not there for the good and instead are there for American beer!

I have to say that after coming here for a friends 40th birthday, this is the type of spot we would hang out! We came on a Saturday evening for karaoke which started at nine and went to the wee hours of the morning. The cuddled up to the bar and some friends played pulltabs for something like two hours. They have a decent beer selection including some local stuff and a number of pool tables and dartboards on the area opposite the karaoke. The bartenders were all very nice and took really good care of everyone here, despite it being crazy. I didn't have a chance to sample any of the food, but they had a rather extensive list of burgers and sandwiches. I think it's a sort of spot we're going to need to come back to for lunch someday! Pulltabs are definitely not my thing, but for those that enjoy them, they had something like 20 different options. A good spot to check out if you're looking for somewhere to hang or dive bar at which to do karaoke.

Not only is this place beautiful, the wait staff is absolutely cream of the crop. Old fashions, margaritas, steak frites, artichoke, wedge salad, burgers, need I say more??
