We’ve driven by many times and finally made it in. Didn’t take advantage of the tap set up outside(pretty genius) but we grabbed a table immediately inside. Friendly, chill staff, like the vibe of the whole place. Good salad and the meatloaf sliders were perfectly done and super tasty. We’ll be back for a music outing!

Great music venue. The staff are talented and willing to make the drink you asked for. Decent crowds.
Late night bar food is decent.

The food is fantastic you can tell they take special care and caution in preparing a good meal, they are not your typical bar food. it's made with love and joy and not just frozen then thrown in a deep fryer. The staff are wonderful as well!!!

Did you know Nicole's in downtown Olympia has a party room you can reserve for free, for under 25 people? This place has everything: huge, well laid out spaces for mingling; excellent, attentive staff; fabulous eats for decent prices; and a live band Friday and Saturday! We booked our retirement party for Saturday during President's Day weekend and the band was A Flock of 80's. Their sound made the party even better. Note: if your group is about 50 or more, there is a charge since you get the entire party room, but our 25 was given half the party room for free.

Go to Nicole's, whether you're flying solo, on a romantic date, out with friends, or hosting a party. And try the gourmet meatloaf sliders, delicious! We love it there!

First time here so that we could see the Kyle and Darin Band in their 6 piece glory. We were NOT disappointed. The place is super clean and very inviting. I was floored at how good the acoustics were for the shape of the building. The drinks were pretty good too. With the amount of people that were there, we never waited more than a few minutes to get a refill. The crew behind the bar really rocked. The best thing about it was, the diversity of people there was mind blowing' we LOVED it. All ages of folks all dancing, drinking, and having a great time. It's how things should be everywhere.

We came here on Friday for happy hour and it was busy. We sat in other room where a couple was playing darts. Our server, Clayton, came over a took our drink order. I was almost done with my drink when he went to the table next to ours. I wanted to order another drink but he never looked out way. I went to the bar and got my own drinks. He finally came back and took our food order. The runner, super nice, good server, brought us our food. Not once did our original server come and check on us. When he went to the table next to us he seemed disinterested in them, arms folded and hardly looking at them. We were checked in often by 3 other servers that were very friendly and attentive. We would for sure visit again because everything else was good.

Ran sound here for a second time. Los Riffers on stage, and I recorded the set so I had to show up early and spend the entire day here. It is a very chill vibe. I had a French dip and it was surprisingly really, really good. It was a smaller, mellower crowd this time, but to me the venue really shone this time. The staff treated me with great hospitality, allowing me to set up and putting on my baseball game for me to help pass downtime. I was there from about lunch till closing and they were professional, clean, courteous, and very helpful. They went out of their way to hold doors open, make sure we were hydrated and fed, and comfortable.

I spilled a drink at one point and was helped with it quickly and happily.

Great little spot. Wonder what a more crowded show would be like in there, though I'm not sure they host that type of thing.
