Why didn't anyone tell me this place was so rad? I'm so stoked to have discovered this killer alt nightlife spot. The venue itself is stunning and sports the decor to match. The staff are very accommodating and welcoming. Vax card required 👍 Killer drinks 👍 Low cost 👍 Cash only, but don't worry they have an ATM.

Good vibes only 🤙 👁️👄👁️ Really queer friendly, good drinks. They add a slice of lime to vodka cranberries. Everyone else's reviews are pretty much spot on. There will probably be a cover charge any time there is music playing, so maybe check that in advance if that matters to you.

Unique bar with amazing cocktails. My husband and I visit the Cryptatropa Bar whenever we're in Olympia. He likes the jukebox selections, I like the cocktails they offer.

Cash only, often has live music with cover charge and does verify vaccination status so plan accordingly so that you can fully appreciate the experience. Employees are warm and welcoming. Tons of eclectic atmosphere. Fun semi private booths

Long story short- I initially visited this place to remind myself of the dark bars back home in Chicago. I met a great girl on that visit. We bonded over a shared nostalgia for a since-shuttered nightclub back in Chicago that this place reminds us both strongly of. We are now married! Thanks Crypt-Keepers, for the darkness, for the music, the excellently crafted cocktails, and the sense of neighborhood. My wife and I will always hold a special place in our hearts for you.

Love coming to the Crypt!! Every Wednesday they have such a fun Karaoke that goes from 9p~12a! I try to never miss it. The employees are wonderful and you can tell they love working in such a cool spot. Goth-themed for anyone who wants to try something different, atmosphere is always on point. Love me some Crypt!

I'm sure a lot of people have their own stories about living here and coming here frequently. As an occasional visitor, it feels like a special dark gem to me. Great cocktails, dark atmo, and even a patio for summergoth vibes.

Love this place! Well curated shows, great cocktails/drinks, amazing people and good vibes all around. Their patio shows when it’s nice out are especially sweet. The sound inside is amazing too. Definitely go see a show there, I recommend it!

Great place, if you want to be anonymous or meet up with people in the darkness. Strangely it is the only place in town to get hot food after midnight during the week, in the form of delicious empanadas. The whisky ginger bites you back and so might the bartender if you are lucky. If you are in Olympia at night, go there.

Cash only bar. Excellent service. Consistent with live music (I hear). I just really dig the vibe there. While it is dark, everyone is friendly. The mixed drink was rather good. $10. There is plenty of room, and you can maintain a conversation amid the music.

I love this place. There are lots of dark corners in which to commune. The drinks menu is always fun and they offer inexpensive snacks for that salt craving. They have unique events and a great staff.

Great ambiance, super friendly staff, and the booths are good for conversation. Selling one's soul to Satan is a small price to pay. Plus, there's an embalming table!

This place has a Goth Rock bar. Interesting decorations to add to the experience all over the place. Where there on a slow Sunday but the bartender says they have shows that range from Rock and punk to Drag and Berlesque. We were visiting for a day, we will be back for a show but is a great bar to stop for a drink. I had thier version of a Gin Ricky, its delicious!

Bartender was SO so so rude. We loved the vibe and the drinks were strong but I’m not kidding that the two bartenders said less than 5 words to us in the hour we were there. Seemed like a spot only for close friends of the workers. Maybe we didn’t look goth enough to be interacted with?? I asked the bartender a question about the bar and they literally turned their back and said “maybe later” as they walked away. Mind it was not busy at all, we were the only people inside. I guess if you are an actual satanist this is the spot to go(?)

I love this bar's home made ginger syrup for whiskey and ginger drinks or on it's own is fantastic. Be sure to leave a gift for your favourite fallen angel.

Loved the atmosphere, some friends and us meet up last night all dressed up in garb and had a great time. The server was polite and amazing. Look forward to more visits.

Dark and cosy, some gothy vibes but also some folksy vibes. Countercurrent sometimes plays there.

Super fun bar! I celebrated my birthday there with a friend and it was so much fun! The band playing was incredible, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere was awesome too!

Dark place for strong drinks! Looking to go to a edgy satanic bar? Look for further. Drinks are amazing.. good price for the money. Went to a karaoke night it was hilarious hard metals meets country line dancer. All types welcome.

As soon as I got out my car a saw the bar. Live local bands play. The bartenders were sweet and made a well worth drink. It is on the loud side yet going Solo was cool too. Decor is incredible 😁.

I went into this bar with my friends and lost my ID and decided to reach out the next day to see if anyone had picked it up. I was unable to find a phone number and decided to reach out on Facebook. That’s where my issue arose. I asked the man who was in charge of the business account if he had seen it. I was then told to go there myself and see. I then further explained I wasn’t from the area and that it would be a great inconvenience to come down there and find out it isn’t there and proceed to ask if there was a number I could call. I was then told “phones are for boomers.” By him. The bar was fun until I talked with them after hours. I’d say this bar was unprofessional and disrespectful. As it should welcome all.

Beautiful space, a must visit local bar with great live music, both indoor & outdoor seating available.

Based on my experience, this place is pretty good overall. The drinks were fine. Customer service was decent for the most part; could be better. Cash only place just fyi. Would probably recommend.

This is definitely a unique kind of bar. The feel of it is dark, historic, and a little gothic. It has an outside area as well. They also have popcorn to go with your drink so that’s a plus

A very unique, goth, and surprisingly comfortable and friendly bar. I will be back very soon. The drink with the Jarritos and toquilla was very good, and well priced.

AKA "The Crypt", it's more than a bar, its an awesome creative space and venue for cool bands and other live preformances. The goth theming is dope af, theres a baphomet statue you can leave offerings for. Also: super queer friendly!

The staff here are so fantastic and welcoming and loving here. They don't ever turn anyone away ever! This place even has the best decor and wildest too. Definitely love it & recommend it. Best spot for travelers to visit aswell! Definitely top best for Olympia!

Been going here since it opened. Always fun, great music and great staff

Love the way this place looks. It's cash only, but they have an ATM. I saw a comedy show here another time too. They have them every 3rd Friday.

Cryptotropa is the beating heart of many excellent bands from the surrounding municipality. The many bands which pass through include metal, punk, rave, bluegrass, and folk this is a solid venue to check out downtown. It's as though rock n roll never died here, McCoys across the way helps keep things punk.

A great local bar to see some great local talent. Their bartending is on point. Also, ask about their pickled eggs. They are delicious! 😋

Pretty great downtown bar. Cash only. They have a stage and many performers. Everyone here is nice and will spontaneously start conversations. No Seattle freeze at the Satan bar.

They need to keep the bathroom clean. This is a business. I used to swear off this place specifically because of the bathroom, but after Covid they did such a good job that I went back. I was just there the other night and it’s gone back the way it was. It’s sooooo dirty. The bathroom is absolutely repulsive. Costumers deserve better. It’s not cool, or fun funky to be a health hazard. My shoes are still on my porch. Nasty.

I have always loved this place been going there for years it was rough after reopening after COVID but it seems there was a lot of miss understandings. The owners mave and Shawn are great people. love you guys.

The bartender was lovely and the atmosphere is unique and fun. An excellent place to stop in and have a drink and just look around.

We finally made it to the Crypt and will definitely be back. Immediately felt comfortable and the staff were f’n great. The drink selection is pretty good and the drink I got was perfect alcohol ratio wise. Come check out a show here or just hang in the booths with friends. My partner and I loved that we could sit in a booth and listen to the band.
