**Soul Pole Bar: A Transcendent Experience Wrapped in Enigma**…read more Oh, *Soul Pole*! A name so potent, so evocative, so downright mysterious that I feel compelled to sip deeply from a drink just to ponder its meaning. Does the **Soul Pole** guide weary travelers toward nirvana? Is it a **cosmic beacon**, planted firmly in the earth to mark the exact center of revelry? Is it, perhaps, the *literal pole* around which the very essence of joy and good times swirl? I do not know--but what I *do* know is that this bar is **absolute perfection**. Let us begin with the **drinks**--for at Soul Pole, they do not merely serve beverages; they craft **elixirs of pure delight**. The cocktails? **Divine.** The beer? **Cold enough to make time itself shudder.** The spirits? **Strong enough to awaken forgotten wisdom from deep within one's soul.** One sip and you wonder--*Is this the true meaning of the Pole?* Is this what it leads us to? And the **staff**! Gracious, swift, and seemingly imbued with the knowledge of all things bar-related. Ask for a recommendation, and you will receive not just a suggestion, but **an oracle's prophecy**, guiding you toward the drink destined to complete your evening. They serve with precision, with warmth, with an energy that makes one wonder--*Are they the guardians of the Soul Pole itself?* Do they **understand** what it means, yet refuse to share its secrets? The ambiance? **Unmatched.** The kind of place that makes you feel **instant belonging**, as though you have arrived at some sacred site where all travelers of the night are welcome, where worries dissolve, and where laughter is currency. And yet, amid the excellence, the revelry, the **magnificence**, the question lingers... *What is the Soul Pole?* Is it a philosophy? A calling? A literal pole hidden in a back room, known only to those initiated into its mysteries? Is it **both everything and nothing**? Whatever the answer, know this--Soul Pole Bar is **legendary**. It is **flawless**. It is **worthy of poetic devotion**. And if, one day, the meaning of the Pole is revealed, I shall raise a glass in its honor and whisper--*Finally, I understand.* Until then--five stars, eternal gratitude, and one very perplexed but satisfied customer.

Hours are never consistent. Not quite sure how a business is supposed to succeed if nobody knows…read morewhen you are open or when you close. I've stopped by when they are listed to open for lunch, nobody there. I've stopped by a couple hours before close, and they are already closed. Really weird way to run a business, I'm not sure how they expect to keep customers. I did enjoy it when I've been. But getting pretty exhausted trying to figure out their hours of whenever they like.

Discover is an accepted form of payment. L&M Farmhouse offers a full bar with a decent selection of draft craft beer. Indoors, there are TVs mounted, a couple pool tables, digital jukebox, dart boards, stage and a dance floor. Outdoor seating is also available. Food menu has an assortment of items ensuring that there is something for everyone. Lunch specials run daily from 12pm-5pm. Happy Hour is offered Mon-Fri from 2pm-5pm. I had a Bodhi for $6 and my girlfriend had a Mac & Jack for $6. We shared the Potato Skins for $9.99. Luckily, I travel with my own hot sauce since the Potato Skins are not served with the standard salsa side. Service was slow and unmemorable. Overall, I enjoyed my visit with my girlfriend; however, nothing about L&M Farmhouse stood out for me.

I would not recommend this place. I have rarely encountered a ruder or more unpleasant group of…read morepeople. I was here last week and had Shae as my bartender. She made my drink incorrectly the first time, and when I asked for it to be remade, she either forgot or simply never made the replacement. Because of that experience, I left a 3-star review. I decided to come back today and give the place another chance, and I ended up with Shae as my bartender again. I ordered the exact same drink I always order. Once again, it was made incorrectly. I politely reminded her that I do not want olive juice in my martini. Instead of simply correcting it, she became visibly irritated, started giving me attitude, and was rude toward me. A few minutes later, she accused me of having an issue with her and told me that if that was going to be the case, I could leave. So I did. While I was in the parking lot getting on my motorcycle, two managers approached me and accused me of being rude, specifically bringing up the 3-star review I had left after my previous visit. Being confronted in the parking lot over an honest review was completely inappropriate and only reinforced my opinion of how this place handles customer service and criticism. Last time I gave them 3 stars. After this experience, it is 1 star. I will not be returning.

Truly a cool establishment, if I lived here I would come here all the time. I would come here for the view of Rainier alone but the place itself is spectacular.

I came here daily while in town and its truly a great visit at any hour of the day whether you want breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon beverages and snacks, dinner, late night drinks, etc. Its all great here.

Service was good and the place could use a little cleaning but overall a good hangout place for a group get together. It's at the airport and it's cool. So night out with friends and a few drinks hit Top Gin and have fun.

My wife and I decided to try Top Gun as we hadn't been there for a while. Always enjoyed the food…read moreso we each ordered a 220z beer (Hefeweisen for her and Modelo for me). We ordered the Nachos with ground beef and the Deli Sandwich with Pastrami and Cheddar Cheese and Tator Tots. Our waitress Sarah did a great job checking back on us and when the food came it looked great. Lots of Pastrami on the sandwich was very nice. Both dishes tasted great but our main gripe is the prices have gone way up. $21 for the sandwich and $20 for the Nachos. Plus each 22oz beer was $9.75. $9.75 for each beer! That is way too high for beer. Although the food was great we don't know how people can afford to eat here. We won't be back.

We frequent Rainier Growlers on the weekend and enjoy the variety of people who seem to hang out here. There is always a few delicious options to drink and there is easy access to Pizza as Fat Zach's is in the same parking lot. We have seen babies, kids, and dogs be welcome here. It is a good place to spend a couple of hours, especially if it is rainy outside! The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about what is on tap or available in their fridges. I do not drink beer and am always able to find a local cider to enjoy if I am feeling like a beverage. My 11 year old loves their rootbeer. Definitely recommend Rainier for a fun place to hang out with others!

The food menu is just the right size with a good variety of things to enjoy. It's my understanding they will be updating the menu soon. The service/staff has always been good and continues to be very responsive to customers. The original owner did bring the charm/decor of the larger establishment. Parking can be tough but it's worth the walk after you find a spot. So if you are in the area drop in to have a bite/drink, watch a local game or play pull tabs. Yes, they have other things happening here which can be found on their FB homepage. Overall, my friends old and new come back to this local Bar and Grill.

Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay get better service than we received…read more I'll preface this by saying it was a packed house for a Seahawks playoff game--so yes, it was busy. That was entirely expected, especially for a rival game against the 49ers. Any competent business plans and staffs accordingly. We arrived and were seated at one of the last tables we had called ahead to reserve. After 30 minutes of watching our section server walk around taking orders and delivering food and drinks to other tables, I finally had to stop her just to ask for water and a menu. Her response was simply that it was really busy. Obviously. But even in a rush, checking in or dropping waters is the bare minimum. As a former server myself, a quick "Hey folks, we're running about X minutes on food, but I can grab drinks" goes a long way in managing expectations. After another 30 minutes, I gave up and went to the bar myself to get drinks. Once halftime hit, I decided to order food to go. That still took an hour, and we didn't receive it until there were about 10 minutes left in the game. To her credit, the server who took the to-go order (a different server) did let me know the kitchen was backed up and followed through--communication that was genuinely appreciated. Throughout the game, I had to return to the bar multiple times to refill our sodas and waters. Our assigned server continued to take orders and deliver food throughout the section, yet not once during the entire game did she stop at our table. Not once. Needless to say, it will be a cold day in Hades before we return. I could be crawling in hunger and would rather meet my maker than give this place another dollar of my money.
