    What a find! I haven't smelled BBQ smoke in a restaurant that strong since the BBQ Station San Antonio. Very friendly, ADA accessible to some extent, there is a ramp to the bathrooms.

    This might be my new favorite place for a date night in Olympia. We ordered the pork nachos with the larger size and shared them. They were perfectly balanced with nacho cheese, salsa, and pork. We also got the 3 pork ribs, which were exquisite. I didn't have to add BBQ sauce at all. The bark was perfect, the seasoning, probably the best I've ever had. If you care about cost, just know that this place is also budget friendly. Bartender Rob is also amazing. Warm, friendly, service was timely, and exactly the right amount. Atmosphere: so it's winter and lots of Olympia restaurants are cold, but the temperature was inviting. The decor isn't fancy but comfortable. Music was a good vibe and not too loud for a conversation. We'll definitely be back.

    Lovely bar located in an atmosphere that reminded me of the speakeasy’s in the 1930s for the fact that one needs to pass through a corridor just to get to this bar located upstairs of the restaurant. The bar atmosphere was lit enough to have the feel of the 1930’s. I ordered a screwdriver with a splash of pineapple juice and a two meat brisket plate, which was pretty good including slow roasted brisket and pulled pork, with potato salad, mac n cheese, and a cornbread biscuit. I like saucy things so of course I ordered additional bbq sauce on the side which I have to say the spicy barbecue sauce was pretty on point. The bar service was warm and friendly. When closing my tab I spoke with a couple at the bar. One of the patrons recommended tri-tip (a tasty favorite we could all✅ agree upon)and the other patron mentioned pulled pork with coleslaw and baked beans. He wasn’t wrong…next time I’ll probably order that at a barbecue joint along with other sides- I like a buffet of sorts. ( Major Foodie here!) When I go and visit places and towns that I don’t normally frequent one of the things that intrigues me is the local food fare and what it has to order. - I wasn’t disappointed. 😊

    Food was delicious. We normally go to Ranch House BBQ, but decided to try this place. We were pleasantly impressed.

    Definitely one of the best spots for miles for good BBQ. Had the pulled pork sammich, Mac n cheese, and peach cobbler, washed it down with a black Butte porter, I was in heaven. Everything is good, keep an eye out for the pork belly burnt tips that go on special they are to die for. And BBQ sauce is by far the best I have ever had in my life.

    My husband and I tried the Pig Bar for the first time tonight, we weren't starving so we opted to split the Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was so delicious we ended up ordering another one! Super excited to have a new favorite restaurant! The smell of this place also should be bottled up and sold ❤️ absolutely mouth watering.

    Best bbq in WA. No competition! Lots of pinball games

    I had the pulled pork sandwich and thought it was amazing. The sides weren't really all that good, but the meat was. My husband didn't care for his ribs. I would 100% go back again, but I don't think he would. The waitress was very nice, too.

    Sides are small yet thick and hearty BBQ was excellent, prices are a little high not real sure why maybe it's the location prices ... I will be trying some other BBQ places before I go back .

  • 4/5 David W. 10 months ago on Google
    Meat was dry, maybe cooked too fast? Slow & low = juicy...The pork was spot on!! Brisket was dry and missing, the slow Low.

    Pretty good. I think the cornbread and peach cobbler could be improved, but everything else was f a ntastic.

    Went down today at 1 to meet a friend from out of town and rrrrreally been wanting the pig bar nachos. The google hours say it's open at noon but it is not. Not open till 3 and the restaurant will not make you the nachos. Haha I've tried many times. If you want the nachos you can't get em till 3pm!
