    Nicole's is the only bar I would send a single lady 7 days a week to for a good time, safety for all, and an excellent bite to eat. Brunch is back on Saturday and Sunday mornings!! Yes it's back, this is a February 2026 review. See the menu. I love the veggie omelet with Hollandaise Sauce over the top, but the Eggs Benedict are a close 2nd for me. Lunch and Supper are the same menu. Happy hour is 4 to 6. Separate areas to have conversations but get the club feeling. Come on live music nights and feel the positive Energy from Nicole to her staff to you. It's that special, hopefully you'll meet Nicole. Since, she works just as hard alongside her team. Last week's visit included my 80 yo Mother, Service Dog, and me after Dr appointment with need to eat. We ordered a club sandwich for sharing with sweet potato fries. They brought two plates, I don't know what I was thinking ordering Broccoli and Cheese Soup too. We each could eat a quarter sandwich with another meal before bedtime. A+ for consistent excellence in the kitchen and home brewed ice tea. But! The Star of The Show was the House Specialty Cocktail Menu! I'm a gin and tonic kind of guy, Beefeaters if you've got it. So, was intrigued by 'Isn't She Lovely' on the menu. Every Cocktail I've had here has been excellent. I also am not an amaretto fan. Today was no different with light fruity Cocktail that hits the tongue hard until softened by the egg white meringue on top melting the sting and leaving a nicely complimentary drink. Now, I'm a fancy gin Cocktail kinda guy. Imagine a fruity adult version of the old mall orange julius with egg and take it up a notch for Nicole's Bar. A+ for ingenuity and taste. One of my past experiences at Nicole's Bar was with a gentleman who didn't drink alcohol and wanted something different than a 0% Beer. The patient, kind, caring Bartender asked his likes and dislikes. Told him if he didn't like the result, they'd toss it and start over. He loved the 1st mocktail made, and felt like the group with his drink that we all wanted a sip to check out. So now, for him and the World Nicole's Bar now offers a Mocktail Menu and I bet you can still get a Bartender to get crazy and try something new. A+ for customer service at the highest level. A+ for service dog friendly staff. Brought the dog a paper cup of water. Nice place, period. Rating A+ for hidden gem of Olympia! If, LGBTQ bothers you than go to Dennys. Straight Friendly!

    Had a great night at Nicole's. Decorated really nicely for the holidays and the staff was really nice. Tried the French dip and cheese curds and both were good. Others in my group tried the cocktails and commented there was only one vodka cocktail but they did like the one they had...will def be back!

    This bar is amazing. The service was great. The vibe was just so welcoming and fun. Nicole hosted our group with so much love, even donating to our pet food drive. This place went above and beyond. Thank you!!!

    Great food and drinks. The wait staff were kind and recommended some of the drink specials. The food was fresh. We were with a small group, and all the food looked amazing. The location has a few private rooms. A few booths and some high and low tables. Things to know. 1. Parking can be scarce. After 5pm parking on streets are free. 2. You will be charged a fee if you use credit cards. So bring cash. 3. They have a great happy hour menu. Plan on going back again soon.

    When we first moved to Olympia, there were not many bars that I was a fan of because most of them are dive bars. I finally found a bar that I feel comfortable at and that is Nicole's bar. It is a fun and safe environment and I enjoy the events with live music, dancing and they have a wonderful DJ as well. We love the happy hour and best cheese curds around. It is a great place to host a party, date night or girls night! 10/10

    Good food, relaxed ambiance, and quality service. I ate lunch here with my parents and we really enjoyed the wings, soup, and burgers!

    We came in at 9:15 AM on Saturday, and Nicole's had just opened up for the day-we were seated and ordered our food within 10 minutes, and were out and about in 30! I ordered their Avocado toast. This was a wonderful choice-not only did it taste amazing with the avocado, toasted wheat bread, sun dried tomato and pickled onion, and hot sauce (I added myself), but it was a very good value for what I ordered! I appreciated that our waiter brought out the avocado toast in halves so we could all eat our dishes at the same time-I had four pieces total, but they brought out two to start and brought two more. Normally this would all be plated together, but we had to get going due to our own plans. This was so considerate and helpful to us. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Excellent service, and what a cool spot!

To my surprise, the place was packed with customers on a Sunday afternoon. I expected a slower pace, but it was anything but. The atmosphere was lively, with people playing pool and enjoying themselves. One of the unique features of this pub is a table game that many of you may not be familiar with. It's called Table Shuffleboard, and it's one of my favorites. I've played it a few times in Alaska, and it's a great game. To play, you simply request the pucks from the servers, and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. We ordered a couple of beers, which were fairly decent. I had the Irish Death, and my friend opted for some of the commercialized beers like Blue Moon. They also ordered some wings, which they said were very good. They recommended that if you want extra crispy wings, you should have them fried hard. The sweet potato fries were cold, but the bartender was quick to take care of that. She brought us a fresh batch in a matter of minutes. The customer service was excellent throughout our visit. I'm giving this pub a three out of five stars. I'd like to come back and try some of the food, especially in the game day environment. I'm a vegetarian, so I didn't eat much of the food we had, but I'll definitely come back and try it again. I'll also come at night to see how it is before I consider upgrading the rating. Overall, I'll be returning to this pub for a second experience.

Seems like the bad reviews are from haters. People who came in with a chip on their shoulders. I didn't. Why? I have been around the Goth and Dark Metal community for years. I know them. While they may look scary and mean to most "normies". They are actually some of the nicest and open minded people you could ever know. In all I felt welcomed here even though we were not dressed for the part. The staff here were very welcoming and friendly. The service was prompt and excellent. The drinks, especially the nonalcoholic drinks were good. We came in on a movie night. They were showing an art film whose name I can't remember. The film was very artsy and deeply interesting. I and my wife really enjoyed it. The BIGGEST kudos to the Cryptatropa Bar is actually showing an independent art film. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Growing up there were lots of theaters that showed art films. Then after the 90's they all went away. Leaving only a few mega theaters who they all show the same movies. This place is a RARE GEM for doing this. Independent film makers don't really have outlets to show their films anymore. THANK YOU!!!
