All I could think when i stopped be here the other night is "What happened to this place?". This use to be a pretty decent place to grab a beer, watch a game and hang with some locals. Now it feels like a cavernous dive bar with employees who are indifferent towards customers.
Big knock on the bartenders, servers texting behind the bar while your waiting to order a beer.
At 11 pm you can't be picky where you go to eat! the only thing missing were the peanut shells on the floor, Loud and busy,I sat at the bar and ordered fish and chips,I found the basket to exceed my expectations,just enough fish(cod or some bottom fish like it)and more fries than I could eat.
only words to describe what was playing are cookie monster,so If you want nice and quiet  then try Sharis.If I'm desperate enough I will go back.
Babalouie's is a shithole, and thats ok.
They'll serve you chicken fried steak that will feed you for a week, pour you a beer from a tap with no handle (pretty sure they used pliers to yank the stub down far enough to make it pour), and give you a double shot of whiskey when you only order a single. They'll also make you the worst chicken wrap youve ever had in your life, if youre asshole enough to order one in a place like this (like i was).
Aside from the middle aged, pony-tailed, weekend "bikers" roaming about and sucking ass at pool, i enjoyed this place. I would definitely get throw-up drunk here with some buddies.
Exactly what I expected when I stopped by with the exception of $1.00 a game for pool. Â That's just outrageous for a bar table in Bonney Lake. Â I've got no problem paying for pool, and I often pay well to play at Parlor or a place like that in Bellevue, but $1.00 for these tables was straight robbery. Â Drinks were reasonable, but not poured as strong as I'd expect for a dive bar like this. Â Waitress was friendly and attentive so they have that going for them, which is nice.
Review Source:Decided to pop in here for some coin-operated pool table time after field work. Actually felt pretty cool walking inside. Cool, dim lighting. Dining seating. Cool bar spread. Jukebox. Spacious open ceiling. Small arcade with a decent bowling game (the curveball directions are weird to figure out). Me and co-worker played some pool with locals. Most seemed like truck drivers and regulars, which of itself can be good or bad: Good for being extra friendly/homey. Bad for wondering "who're the new faces" in their local spot. Some non-Yelp review(s) helped shed light on that (they seemed to copy&paste it around).
We felt pretty good I think. My co-worker actually had a good time with the truck drivers/regulars playing pool while I was spinning a ball rolling balls. Great conversation, talking about guns, hunting, and truck stuff. The bar owner(?) even came to check on my co-worker and his food. Both of us were checked; always a compliment for age. ;)
It's strange going someplace where you're used to seeing different people most of the time then coming to a local usual spot out in the sticks. First time impressions can affect that, as well.
Not bad, though, I'd probably go back if offered the chance.
We have gone this bar a few times in the past, but have not been in about a month and half. We decided to take some out of town guests with us to go for a couple of pitchers and play some pool. Obviously we must have missed a new sign that must have read "Locals Only", because if your not a known face to the crowd inside be ready for POOR service (15-20 minutes for a pitcher each time) & don't dare try to get a pool table even if it looks open. It seems that the groups inside will take claim to tables and not play on them at all, but instead play darts, the various arcade games, or just hang out drinking at their tables. When we finally did get a table to play on, a group of people who claimed to be regulars came up to us and started harrassing us. Asking us things like, "Why haven't we seen you here before?' & "Your not from around here are you?" The experience was nothing like the previous ones, but enough for us to NEVER want to go back again. Be warned.
