The Old Inn Tavern — Restaurant in Snohomish

I’ve been to plenty of bars, but I’ve never experienced service this downright hostile. From the moment I walked in, the bartender acted like I was an inconvenience. No greeting, just an eye roll when I ordered, followed by a sloppy pour and the drink being shoved across the bar like I’d offended them by asking. Every interaction was short, snappy, and dripping with attitude — like they were going out of their way to make sure I knew I wasn’t welcome.

And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. Without explanation, without cause, I was told to leave. No warning, no justification, nothing — just kicked out for no apparent reason at all. I wasn’t rude, I wasn’t loud, I wasn’t causing trouble. The only “problem” seemed to be that I dared to exist in front of the wrong bartender.

If this is how they treat paying customers, then the place doesn’t deserve anyone’s business. Save your time, your money, and your dignity — go literally...

Never have I Ever gave a negative review that I can think of, but they just kicked us out and called the police on us for " no reason"! They never gave us a reason, but told a group of friends we have to leave without explanation. We'll never come back here again! Such a negative experience for all of us to be kicked out, especially since we never did anything wrong that we know of. Never coming back again without a reason or apology. Red barn, we're not angry, we're disappointed! So much so that I'm leaving this letter of disapproval, and telling all mature friends of Lake Stevens and Snohomish to come to Docs instead! Again, we're very disappointed and we'll spend our money with an establishment who has reason. Sorry, but this review has to be sent out, not from emotion, but from facts. Please reply so we can work this out. ~ A big group of...

The place is lively, the people are chill, and the three bartenders I have seen when I came in, over two visits, have all been professional and friendly.

Lots of bar space and plenty of other places to chill at. Two pool tables, which I haven't played on, are in the back.

There are snacks. I've seen popcorn and peanuts around the joint.

Dogs are runnin around the place, which I love, but if you're not a dog person this may not be the place for you. If you are a dog person? Well, you get to pet dogs while you drink. It's like knowing someone who has a boat. All the fun without paying the costs involved. Get to pet dogs without having to pick up their messes and deal thier rambuctiousness. Okay. The latter part isn't true, but that is what helps the liveliness of the place.

Anyways, fun spot worth hitting up...
