Bolo's Bar & Grill

I have visited this neighborhood bar on a few occasions when I visit family in Spokane. I LOVE the food.. The Black Russian is my favorite sandwich and the food is consistently good. I also like the lively bartenders that never leave my glass empty and the local patrons are a hoot. The owner, Barney is always around to welcome us and we feel that he appreciates our business. Yes, it gets busy sometimes but everyone always has a smile on their face and a big hello when we arrive. Oh, and try the "Punching Game". There is a funny story to go with that... ask the bartenders! I will be back!

Good food. Can get breakfast all day long, in my book that's a big +! Being there on very crowded Friday and Saturday nights the beers show up pretty quick. The servers here rock. I've been here several times.

We reserved tables for my wife's birthday party for 75 people. After being there about one hour, my 25 year old daughter (who was our designated driver) was rudely told that minors had to leave by 9:00. My daughter explained that she is not a minor and offered her drivers license to the bartender. After glancing at the license the bartender turned her head, threw her hands up in the air, and shrieked "We don't take those, I won't even look at it!"
My daughter's Washington state drivers license was issued in 2006 when she was 20 and does not expire until December of this year. When you are under 21 in Washington the license is printed vertically and this appeared to be the issue.
My wife and I became involved. We explained it was a legal drivers license. After being verbally abused by the bartender we asked to speak to a supervisor. We were told this was "a house rule" and there was nothing we could do, our daughter had to leave.
After numerous requests the bartender got the owner on the phone and my wife spoke to him. My wife was told it was his business and his rules override Washington state rules. My wife explained it was her 50th birthday party and suggested we have police show up to verify the legality of my daughters license. The owner refused and said "Too bad".
We closed our tab ($22.25 for three well drinks and a pitcher of beer) and after informing the staff and band that we would never return, took our guests to another bar where we enjoyed our celebration.
Just my humble opinion but if you are going to discriminate against someone based on age, you should inform them when reservations are made or have it posted somewhere on your premises.
