“Terrific Drink“

“I’m absolutely have a great experience, family friend as well as nostalgic. You will not find another place like this without looking ;) unique and friendly. Thank you for the experience“

“Great staff, excellent food(massive nachos, people!). The atmosphere is what you'd expect for a familiar bar to call home. It's one of my go-to spots for meeting up with friends, or introducing someone to a side of my personality.“

“First time there and was greeted right away. It wasn't busy for a Monday. They do not serve food, but they do allow you to bring food in from other places. Nice little place, they have a beer garden also for nice days. Huge list of beer and ciders. Prices are reasonable. I didn't get a picture of the menu. Every Wednesday is knit and sip. You can meet other people who like to knit and drink and be social.“

“Excellent Food“

“Love this place, patio year round (covered, heated) and friendly indoor space. Local hangout for the area. Can bring food from the carts outside. Don't forget to check out the to go beer/wine as well as the taps. They also have non alcoholic options.“

“Best pints in town! Especially on micro Monday and thirsty Thursday“

“Can’t go wrong with a stop at the bully!“

“Best breakfast sandwich I have had since moving to Olympia. That is what I order almost every time I come in. The bartender during the week is so nice, she mentions new liquors that I might like and always happy to modify a drink if I ask. Prices are good and customers are fine for the most part. A new shop in downtown Olympia has accused me of writing terrible reviews and I realize that I have really enjoyed a place but don't think to write a review. I just return over and over. But I write honest reviews and intend on writing good and bad. A good one is the Clipper.“

“I haven't been here in several years now so this isn't going to be a recent up-to-date review...I had been going here for about 10 plus years, lots of bands and lots of rough necks that I would hangout with. The walking back in time aspect is what has always been the best part of this place, looking at the art, posters, album covers and photos that are all over the walls is awesome!! Only way to understand is to go and look at everything inside McCoy's yourself, the description of it all is only going to be from my personal viewpoint perspective and I'm not you!! Keep in mind however that there had been evergreen college students showing up now and then, most of those idiots are only there to exercise their whiteness and their dillusional self superiority complex over the lesser masses.... HA! The only superior anything they got is their lack of reality and false hope given to them growing up (only in age, otherwise their maturity factor is very low grade and still at the whole ' you are rubber and I am glue' stage of childish reprise.). Other than that, this used to be one of my favorite places to hang with friends. The owner is a great guy especially, and he is a tough man, he has endured many hardships over the years that I have observed and still has been able to show his worth by overcoming each hardship thrown at him!!“

“Best food and customer service in town!!!! 500000 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Better be hungry and thirsty. Nothing but good vibes and good food and drinks.“

“good food..great music...small in the bar but comfortable“

“Un-Believable ?

Environment is top-tier, you can immediately respect the owner’s effort in decor from all different walks of life and eras of time. It’s wonderful.
The menu was classic, simple & has a kids menu for smaller eaters. THE PRICES ARE WORTH IT. Four years of economic b.s. and peoples food prices going up but the quality didn’t; that does not apply here. The food is portioned properly and priced perfect. I can’t stress enough how much I loved the price. It’s important!!

Service was flawless despite only 10 people being here at the time. Food took about 9 minutes ???“

“Best "Hole in the Wall" or "Hidden" bar in Olympia. Always had great Bartenders, upkept pool table, jukebox, punchboard (with phenomenal prizes), and a good variety of pull tabs. Def the place to go if u want to avoid large crowds or the whole Downtown Scene.“

“We checked this place out for the first time on Halloween, the prices are reasonable. Kitchen was closed by the time we wanted food so we’ll try it next time. Plenty of options for songs. Karaoke was a blast and the vibe was absolutely there compared to some other karaoke places in the area. Bartender was so sweet as well as the karaoke host. We’ll be returning!“

“We stumbled upon this place walking around looking for something for lunch. Honestly my expectations were low we just wanted a cheap lunch with everything in the area being so pricey. Absolutely exceeded my expectations. The burger was honestly the best burger I’ve had in a while. Delicious, juicy, flavorful, 10/10 recommend! The staff were also super sweet!“

“Amazing food! Nothing short of flavors from every direction! Great bar favorites & local brews.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in the state! Fast, friendly service with amazing food and drinks!“

“Best banana split in town!!“

“Fun & Unique venue and crowd! Had a blast playing here. A must see in Olympia.“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Amazing food with attention to detail and presentation. 😁Next best thing to being in Italy.“

“What a fantastic find! I am so rarely impressed when I go out, but Chicory was absolutely incredible! So inspired and inventive! Everything was absolutely delicious! My taste buds and soul were so happy. Had the scallops, carrots, smoked potatoes and biscuits. I cannot wait to return and try more of the amazing menu! Service was wonderful. Very sweet husband and wife owned place. Only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner. What a gem! Thank you Chicory!“

“This is our favorite place to go! The food and service are always amazing. We also love the fact this is a Family Owned small business. We want to keep these families who live in our community and their businesses going. Stop by and check them out…their food is consistent and good!“

“Excellent brewpub style spot that is very committed to its theme. The staff was friendly and gracious and there was live music which I enjoyed but it did make conversation more difficult. The appetizer special (friend chicken bites) was great and my dish was excellent. My party was generally pleased but the ribs on one of our dishes were pretty bland and appeared to have been boiled but didn't spend much time on the grill coming back to life. Overall it was a great experience and I'd go back if I was in the area again.“

“Loved the interior. I had the creamy garlic chicken with rice and black beans, husband the chicken enchiladas. We both loved the food very well seasoned and good portion sizes. Staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere. 10/10 will go again“

“This tavern is a gem. The food is cooked with care and you can tell when you get it. The brussel sprouts are a huge hit at any time. I tried a "special" called the CodFather yesterday with a hand battered piece of cod, topped with fresh sliced pastrami and some cheese on a slathering of coleslaw on a bun. It absolutely works!“

“Fun & Unique venue and crowd! Had a blast playing here. A must see in Olympia.“

“Great service and great food. be sure and save room for dessert! Banana Annie was amazing!“

“Best omelettes ever and my coffee cup was never empty. Jessie and the staff make sure you get a smile when you come in.“

“I came in the afternoon and I ordered the Breakfast sandwich and the Hot Wings on the menu. The Breakfast sandwhich was the kind of delicious that makes you role your eyes in surprise and was easily worth $6. After I devoured that I was brought my hotwings. Even just smelling the hotwings cleared out my sinuses and made my mouth water with urgency. The taste is perfect, the wings are large and the spicey level is perfect. Just enough real burn from real hot wings without needing to douse yourself in water. This place has the best food prices in town on food and that Tavern fare you already love.
Now onto the other parts of 4th Ave Tavern. The interior reminds me of a frontier tavern, with a worn away floor and that Washington wood interior that is so common in Seaside and mountain Washington towns. The building is clearly old and I wonder how patrons have pass through here since its construction. There are plenty of bar games and pool tables and a side patio. On the weekend nights this place is jammed with locals and those in town looking for a good time. Even with the crush of people all around, I still navigated my 80 pound puppy through here with ease. Every one was polite and kind and I enjoyed the atmosphere along with a drink. My review is, come here and eat and drink and watch Seahawks games. Mind your manners!“
