    Rico's is a Pullman institution! Inside it has the feel of an Irish or English pub, very warm & welcoming. It has a couple of different levels & is one of the oldest locations for jazz in the state of Washington. We went for dinner & a couple drinks but ended up staying for a couple of hours to enjoy the live jazz & the fireplace. If you are in Pullman, make sure you stop in, you won't be disappointed.

    Solid pub in the heart of Pullman. Came on a Saturday afternoon w my daughter and her roommate. Serving brunch and their regular menu. Multiple beers on tap. Chicken Pesto sandwich that my wife had was great (sandwiches can be halved). French Dip was solid. Their fries are steak fries just FYI. Beer was cold and service was solid.

    Pesto Turkey

    Wanted a place with outdoor seating because we are traveling with our dog...the wait was a little long...but my sandwich was delicious. Husband liked his fish & chips...picking the Cod option. The fries were delicious. And we ordered a carrot cake to take back to our hotel. The food was great and out waitress was very attentive and sweet. The wait time though was just a little longer than preferred.

    This was a tough 2 star decision because the pub itself is really a fun place to get a drink. Ambience feels like a medieval public house. You expect mead to be on tap it's that authentic. The food was also delicious when it finally came out. The problem was there was so little staff that there was one server and he ended up also having to go cook in the back. There were two ladies working the bar and they tried to fill in gaps but on a busy Saturday night you can't run this place with 3-4 people on staff. They did their best but we waited almost 2 hours to get a couple sandwiches and some chicken strips. Drink refills were nonexistent unless you walked to the bar and flagged a lady down. All in all I would try this place again and if the next visit is more successful I would give it more stars. Based on this visit though it only earns 2 and that's because the servers were trying and the food was good in the end.

    Great bar for Pac-Man, pool and Happy Dads!

    Great vibe for Pac-Man, pool, and happy dad seltzers. Good service and accommodated a large group.

    Went on a Thursday at around 5 pm. It wasn't busy at all when we went in. Small parking lot but…read morethere's a free lot close by. They give you a bowl of kettle chips when seated which was delicious. We were served quickly, and I ordered a house made seltzer that I believe was huckleberry flavor. It was interesting that it was made in-house but it had a weird after taste to me. We got the Turkey Club as well as their Cougar Gold Mac and Cheese. Both were delicious and I loved both dishes. I enjoyed how the Mac and cheese came with the side salad too, or you can have kettle chips or a soup. Salad was a great choice with the Mac and cheese. Overall I would definitely come back for the food as it was delicious. Ps- They also give SEL workers a small discount which is great!

    Visiting Pullman area and I wanted to feed my two daughters a nice meal on a Friday evening around…read more5 PM for dinner. Although open, only a few tables were filled, and it was mostly empty at that time. We were seated and a young waitress promptly took our drink order and brought us some kettle chips. The kettle chips are to die for! We were hungry so that might've contributed to the fact that we gobbled them down quickly. These were never refilled during our time there although I wish they were. (We didn't get a chance to ask.) Our appetizer order of the pretzel bites were tasty, but there were so few on the plate for the 3 of us to share. It comes with three dipping sauces, but there weren't enough pretzels to enjoy much of the dipping sauces. Next, we placed an order for three meals that came with side salads. Our waitress said the salads would be out first and then the meals. Unfortunately, only one salad came out and the waitress didn't say anything else when dropping off the single salad. I assumed she was coming back with the others. As the dining room was filling up, she got busy taking orders elsewhere, didn't glance our way once. The one salad was finished while the other two of us were twiddling our thumbs at the table for a decent enough amount of time that we were trying to get her attention to ask about the salads. The other two salads did not come out until our entrées arrived. It would've been nice if we were offered a refill on the kettle chips and our drinks . No drink refills offered. We waited without anything to nibble on for what felt like too long. As for food quality, the mac & cheese was tasteless and plain. There was a good volume of it, but no desire to eat it. The Caesar salads we had were pre-dressed and the dressing wasn't that great. The burger was OK, but they served it dry. I asked for ketchup, but I apologized to the waitress for the ketchup request as she seemed to be very busy with the dining room filling up. It was a very uncomfortable feeling to ask for anything because of the vibe. The best thing on the table was the kettle chips, and the side of broccoli that one of my daughters had with her steak was fabulously seasoned. We made it a point to complement the broccoli and asked how it was prepared at the end of our meal when we were offered the check . Our waitress was kind enough to find out for us but the answer that came back seemed to shield the seasonings as a proprietary secret. In all it was an OK experience and we might return next time we're in town to give them another chance. If anything, I'd order the delicious kettle chips and broccoli.

I'm not normally here at nights, but I think they're open until 5 Tuesday and Wednesday and then 9 the rest of the days. There are so many good things to say about this place, I'll try to keep it short (no promises): Having been coming here daily for a year, I've had the pleasure of watching the place and the staff grow. They had a couple of things going on when I first started coming here, but they've really branched out. Trivia on Fridays, WSU football games are live streamed. Open mic on Saturday nights, there's usually live music on Saturday mornings. Bingo on Thursdays just started. The owner supports local everything, including artists, authors, and musicians. There's a whole shelf full of board games and crafting supplies as soon as you walk through the door, so there have been multiple times I've been here with my kids playing board games and I've seen others do the same. The best part: Pet friendly. Beyond pet friendly. They sell puppy birthday cakes, kongs, pup cups, and quite few other dog related treats. There are multiple dogs that just hang out in the front with their owners, but there is a nice area in the back complete with booths and a barrier to allow friendly dogs to be off leash. Coffee and human food are amazing. Staff is lovely, supportive, and just overall amazing. This will forever be my home coffee shop as long as I'm in Pullman.
