The Bus Stop Olympia Bar & Bistro — Restaurant in Olympia

The place is adorable! The outside seating comes complete with a food truck for a picnic vibe, some giant games including chess and connect four and a lounge type seating area. They recently changed the ordering so now a server takes your order, no more ordering at the food truck, it's basically just their "kitchen" now! The servers are super friendly, genuinely happy to see you and very attentive, checking in periodically. We ordered wings as an appetizer but unfortunately they came out with our meals so they didn't get the attention they deserved. I ordered the shrimp tacos with a side of fries but the fries came out first, as if they were an appetizer. No problem, they were a welcome snack! The food was great, no complaints here! Nothing to necessarily rave about, it was all nice and hot, plated well with decent flavor. The only thing not quite "right" was that there were two workers with their laptops at the counter seating. They'd jump up to assist customers but would then head right back to their stools and pluck away at their laptops. I suppose I just find that unprofessional in a...

The Bus Stop in Olympia is hands down one of the coolest new spots in town! From the moment you walk in, the eclectic interior and vibrant atmosphere set the tone for a fun night out. It’s the kind of place that feels both trendy and laid-back, perfect for meeting friends or starting a weekend adventure.

The drinks are next level—do yourself a favor and try the Wander Earl! It’s one of the best cocktails I’ve had in Olympia and shows just how creative their bar program is. The mixologists clearly know what they’re doing.

What makes The Bus Stop even more unique is that you actually have two amazing restaurants to choose from inside, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or something more refined, you won’t leave disappointed.

Olympia has been needing a fresh, up-and-coming hangout spot like this, and The Bus Stop delivers. Great drinks, great food, and a vibe you won’t find anywhere else. Good times...

We held my husband’s fortieth birthday outside on the side patio and it was the best venue with the atmosphere, space to socialize and outside but covered. They even offered to turn on the heaters but it was not needed because the weather was great. They let me show up early to decorate and even offered to help. The staff, Teresa, Jack, and Shauna, were so friendly and answered all our questions. Jackie was so responsive to my emails and helping me coordinate the event. It was such a great customer service experience.

The food was fantastic! I had the crispy chicken tacos from the food truck and I heard rave reviews about other items from friends and family at the party. We opened a bar tab and they have a fantastic selection of beers but they make the best cocktails too and once again the service was incredible.

10/10 would highly recommend this place as a gathering spot for your next event. And we will...
