    I always enjoy the bro-ho happy hour, even though prices have gone up slightly over the years. It's still very reasonable, and I make it a point to go there for happy hour drinks. I'm happy to be back in Olympia so I can enjoy it again!

    This is a dive bar as the definition goes, but not really a dive bar. this place has been a downtown Olympia staple for generations. In the old days, you may not want to walk into this smoky/rough bar without a pal to support you. Nowadays, there are state workers and normal people here for happy hour, which is probably the best one in Olympia downtown, drinks are not expensive and the pours are good, the youngsters will take over by 8 p.m. Nice covered smoking area in the back. Pinballs and shuffle board. No food, but you're not here for that anyway are you?

    The Brotherhood is another cash only bar with excellent ambiance, great service, and plenty of quiet seating for a great conversation.

    This place is killer. Perfect rocker dive bar with a punk vibe. They have a free jukebox! (Don't abuse it). The staff is friendly, and the drinks are cheap. They have beautiful tall ceilings, and an outdoors spot out back. Will definitely be returning.

    It's the Broho. You know it, I know. This is a place for hard working, stiff drinking, common-folk who can share a story or a laugh in an inviting atmosphere. There's a lot of good bars in Olympia, and this is one of them. Five (5) stars (*).

    Great drink prices, pinball, and the bartender working 5-12-23 @ 4:00 was the best, she made my time there fun and single handedly made me want to come back....

    This place has a great outdoor area to drink and enjoy twinkle lights, heat lamps and art (great for smokers). Inside has a great atmosphere with always friendly service. They are cash only! They do offer an ATM, just in case. Grab a yummy drink here!

    What a gem this funky place is!! Found it as we walked around the downtown in Olympia. Fun deco; matadors wall was sweet! Great bartender who had lots of details about it and the town bc she’s been with the place for 20 years. If we lived near it we’d go all the time.

    Amazing Bar for Non-Drinkers!! Not only do they have multiple N/A beer choices, but they have lots of games and activities to enjoy. The Brotherhood was my spot when I was drinking, and it is still a fun and safe space when I am not. The bartenders offered mocktails and special soda blends with great care. They also do not sell White Claws, which is the gateway "diet-beer" that is easy to get your toes wet with. Drinking or not, you'll love this bar!

  • 1/5 landon s. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 97 reviews New
    We walked in and the bartender was immediately rude and aggressive. Asked for our IDs, we showed him, he then demanded very rudely we take them out of our wallets, we did. He checked them then basically threw them back at us. Asked what we wanted we asked what they had. He just pointed at a board that looked like it was written on by a 3 year old. Then said we had better have cash because it's a cash only bar. Then pointed to an ATM. Too many red flags to even count. We left and will never be going back .

    This is a nice little Tavern. Even though they had a full house, the lady that was behind the bar was extremely friendly and quick to serve. She took time to answer my questions about brands of tequila and offered a good recommendation. The beer and drinks are very affordable, much better than any other tavern we've been to in the area. One note is they do not serve food and they only except cash. I recommend The Brotherhood.

    Based on my experiences here, the drinks I ordered were accurate and fine. Good customer service. No issues occurred. Cash only bar (keep that in mind). ATM inside. Street parking in front. Would recommend and would return.

    Fun. Reminds me of younger days bar crawling. Free jukebox with epic selection.

  • 5/5 Kefi A. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 78 reviews
    It's a dive, but it's my dive. Drinks are affordable. It was fast. It doesn't get loud until like 9:30. Good place to chat with friends. Cash only. Parking plentiful. Pool table and shuffleboard if you're into that. Outdoor area for smoking.

    The place was very crowded but the bartenders still did a great job of getting drinks quickly. The Low Wires were playing and it was an excellent show. Over all a really cool bar.

    Whoever is the lady bartender on Thursday in the afternoon/ evening is completey mental. Looked at me like I was crazy after I didn't tip her on the second beer and pointed at the tip jar and said "that's my tip jar". I told her I tip at the end but now I wouldn't. Staff when I have come in the past have been consistently insane. If rude staff and awkward seating is your thing then this is spot on for you.

    The Brotherhood, or "Broho" is a decent place to congregate after dinner. It's dark and sexy aesthetic has 25-35 Year olds from all walks of life enjoying a beverage and spending time within their outside cabana.

    It's a shame the atmosphere is so great because the service is so terrible. Went there 3 times, 2 of the 3 times I was served by an older man with a ponytail. Right off the bat it seemed like he took an issue with me. I asked his recommendation for a refreshing drink similar to a Moscow mule and his response was: "There's like a 100 of those, dude" to which he proceeds to make me a vodka and soda without confirming. I go up for a second drink. "Can I get a mojito?" "Nope." I sat for a second, curious if he would elaborate, but no such elaboration ever came. Also, it's cash only, like we still live in 1975. Not coming back here again, and I suggest you do the same.

    Decent place I was very surprised how friendly everyone was. I must admit I was drawn to the decor for the majority of my time here very interesting things everywhere

  • 5/5 Zac H. 10 months ago on Google
    Such an amazing place! Great people, fun atmosphere, great drinks!

  • 5/5 Shelby H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my favorite bar in town. Great decor, tasty cocktails, friendly bartenders, and local events. I highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Meg R. 1 year ago on Google
    The whole vibe was just kinda "meh." It seemed like this bar has their "usuals," which were treated like family. The staff seemed to ignore (or barely acknowledge) anyone else. They seemed bothered/annoyed by other people ordering drinks. I'm sure this bar is a great time if you're there every weekend and the staff get to know you. Just not my cup of tea. Also, they only take cash!

    Perfect local spot for events and hanging out. Amazing bartenders and consistently good drinks. Awesome pinball too. And the patio is great for starting conversations

  • 5/5 kelsey s. 1 year ago on Google
    The Brotherhood is one of my very favorite Olympia bars. Good drinks, good prices, great ambiance, friendly responsive bartenders. They also host a ton of great events-DJ nights, aerial performances, music shows, craft sales, community fundraisers... so glad to have this fine establishment in our town.

  • 5/5 Rick N. 1 year ago on Google
    So Olympia. Great crowd, great staff. Can get a lil warm in there when it's packed, but there fine drinks will keep you refreshed.

  • 5/5 Madison A. 1 year ago on Google
    A comfortable Olympia classic sure to lure in a variety of age groups and cultural preferences. The bar is cash only (atm available) and is a safe space for all

  • 5/5 Colton W. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place. Good atmosphere, staff is friendly and it's one of the most relaxing places to have a beer downtown. Only knock is they don't take card but not worth knocking a star off for
