We also ordered a charcuterie board. It came with whipped goat cheese, and other items. The whipped goat cheese was the highlight though.

They have a varied menu, but specialize in old fashioned variations and darker spirits, in my opinion. Their food menu is small, but surprisingly good.

We ordered a few bevy's and snacked on some delicious chips and salsa while we waited for dinner. We were asked if we wanted guacamole, which we said yes, and later found out the 5oz of guac was $12. We ordered the enchiladas mexicanas, habanero enchiladas, and carne asada tacos. My enchiladas mexicanas were soft and had excellent flavor, but could've used a bit more enchilada sauce. Lastly, a man checked our IDs at the table, a lady took our order, a different lady brought our food, and a different lady cleared our plates and asked how we wanted our checks to be split. It was hard to tell who our server actually was and who I was tipping. Overall a cool and authentic place!

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!!!

It was cold the day went but, if you get warm weather, try for their outdoor patio. I ordered the lemon rosemary hummus (delish) with gluten free crackers and it came out with lots of sliced veggies, olives and pickled carrots and onions. A great value! My main course was king salmon and it was perfect. I ordered a lemonade and was disappointed that the tall skinny glass it was served in was full to the top with ice, so there was very little left to drink. My husband enjoyed the Cesar salad he ordered, tasted like a traditional Cesar. He tried the special beef cheeks and found them to be very fatty and gelatinous. He wouldn't recommend them. They did have a N/A beer option he was happy about. Service was attentive and friendly.

I really hated that the water station uses plastic glasses, plastic cutlery, a plastic clamshell for a salad and paper plates for pizzas. We tried three different pizzas at $9 each and a small side salad for $12. Frankly I didn't like the pizzas. Reminded me of old school frozen french bread pizzas. I tried to customize a pizza and was told everything is premade in the morning, so no customizing. The salad was a very small green salad served with a lemon and mozzarella.

The restaurant is quite small, in an area leading into the kitchen. At first glance it seems rather -- bleak. Four tables, a pair of pool tables, a large video golf game. A small counter that once had some seating but now doesn't. It may be necessary to get the server's attention because they are pretty busy in the lounge. Yeah, ambience-wise this place leaves a lot to be desired. But this little place has some of the best diner food in town. The portions are large. Substitutions are not a problem. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their burgers and sandwiches are burly and always fresh, I am not exaggerating, some of the best burgers in Olympia. Hot food is served really hot, straight off the grill. Fries have to take a minute to be cool enuf to eat. Salads tend to be iceberg lettuce based but are always crisp and fresh. To be clear, this is all pub/diner fare, nothing fancy. The coffee, alas, is the same weak stuff everybody else serves.

The store itself has quite the selection of cigars, equipment, and the service has been impeccable every time. Once we finished shopping, we went around back to the lounge. From an outward appearance, wasn't sure what to expect other than a "garage/shop" of sorts. And maybe that's what it was in the beginning, but once we entered, I was very impressed with the layout, ventilation, seating, and all the screens. It provided comfort while we tried out some new brands and flavor profiles (please don't ever stop stocking KFC's). We stayed a couple hours, a couple of smokes... it was a great way to unwind. Now, this isn't like some of the lounges on the Reservations, where alcohol is provided, but still a great place to enjoy a few smokes and good company. Thank you to the owner (came by and chatted a bit) and despite the trek, it was well worth it for me. As always, enjoy and Happy Smoking!

There is a lounge you can smoke in for a price, but it's out of my budget so my wife tells me. They have lots of parties and special events, and stock all the supplies you could ever need. They don't sell cigarettes or vaping cr*p, you savages, so look elsewhere for those, but if you need pipe or cigar stuff, this is your daddy.
