Hannah's Bar & Grille — Restaurant in Olympia

I am confident the bartenders at this bar are just extremely lazy. The place was practically dead when we brought our wedding party in for a night out before the big day. Yet an OFF THE CLOCK bartender checked ID’s when we walked in. I was very confused why only one single female bartender was working a Friday night. It took me 45 min to even get pull tabs and drinks were at least a 20 min wait each time. She kept disappearing from the bar into the kitchen and we just got dirty look after dirty look for no reason. Then i noticed a male bartender pop in after singing karaoke?? We kept to ourselves around a single pool table the whole night. We had one incident when a groomsmen mistakenly followed his girlfriend outside to vape and had his drink in his hand still. The male bartender immediately came and snatched the drink and dumped it outside (absolutely understandable as it’s illegal to have outside.. but also a bit aggressive which we looked passed). It got out of hand when bartender came outside again immediately after to “smoke” but proceeded to instigate a fight with our groomsmen. Groomsmen immediately apologized for what happened and bartender kept running his mouth calling us names and stated “hit me, do it do it, I hope you do so you go to prison since it’s a felony.” At this point I went inside to collect the rest of our party because it clearly was no longer a hood environment and this is when bartender took it upon himself and to call 911 and state we “swarmed and attacked him.” We were down the street before cops even showed up and thanks to bartenders story and Thirstin counties impeccable response time, we were swarmed with 6 police cars just to have our ID’s checked and told we’ve been 86’d.

No fight occurred, no one swarmed anyone, and we left very peacefully. This was not only absurd, but traumatic for the bride. The bartender and main police officer also seemed to be friends and no report was taken despite it being requested by myself. I was specifically told “I don’t care what happened I believe the bartender and you...

I have been a loyal patron of this bar for years, cherishing the camaraderie and good times it once offered. However, my recent experiences have left me deeply disappointed and disheartened. What was once a welcoming and inclusive space has now taken a sharp turn towards exclusivity and discrimination.

It came as a shock to me when I, a white, cisgendered male and a veteran turned commercial fisherman, was informed that I would no longer be served at this establishment. The reason? Apparently, my background and identity no longer align with the bar’s newly adopted “woke” and liberal stance. This sudden shift has transformed a place I held dear into a divisive environment where I am no longer accepted based on arbitrary criteria.

It’s disheartening to witness a place I once enjoyed succumb to such a narrow-minded perspective. While I respect the importance of promoting inclusivity and diversity, this blatant discrimination against individuals based on their race, gender, and background goes against the very principles of equality that such movements advocate for.

My hope was that this bar would continue to be a space where people from all walks of life could come together, share stories, and forge connections. Unfortunately, it seems that the bar’s newfound ideology has driven a wedge between long-time patrons and the establishment itself. I can’t help but feel let down by this drastic shift and the exclusionary stance...

I was at Hannah’s Saturday 2/17 for a celebration with friends. We arrived at 5:30 and left around 7:00 to go to dinner and listen to a band. After dinner we returned to Hannah’s hoping to do some karaoke. One of my friends went up to the bar and ordered a margarita from the Todd and of course he served her. I also went to order and was met by the female bartender. Not familiar with her so I don’t know her name. Long hair and glasses and really not friendly. Anyway, my friend and I were told since I had drinks at 5:30 I couldn’t order a drink. My friend who was just served also had drinks while we were there earlier in the evening. I had 2 rum and diets and water. I reminded her it’s now 10:00, that was hours ago, and I was not intoxicated. She refused to serve me. My friend handed her margarita back to Todd, my group left and went somewhere else where I was easily served, had a couple drinks and danced with my friends. We love Hannah’s, usually a great experience. This time was seriously disappointing and embarrassing. I felt judged. I have bartended off and on over the years and do understand over-serving is not acceptable. However, I had 1 additional drink at dinner over the course of 2.5 hours along with 3 glasses of water. In the end this was really frustrating but like I said above it’s usually a great time, fun atmosphere and awesome bartenders so this review is solely based off of my...
