I just needed to get something in my stomach so I could sleep for the night. The tacos were amazing. I don't know how bar tacos end up tasting so good, but they were better than "authentic" restaurant tacos. The sauces were also incredible. I'm guessing the chef is Mexican.
But who reviews tacos at a bar? Very good beer selection on tap. I tried a Washington local brew. Prices are a bit high here - just a bit - but you get good quality. As others have said, it's a huge place. I was here on a Tuesday so it looked empty, but if they can fill up all that space on a weekend, I bet it's rocking. Thumbs up to whoever my bartender was, she was mixing multiple drinks at one with both hands. I enjoyed watching her go. Very professional place overall, despite looking like a converted barn from the inside. I'd return.
We were looking for a place after work to hang out for a while and decided to go here on a Monday night. The location is fine; lots of room, lots of pool tables and people were milling around.
I ordered a Lucille's IPA that they had on tap, which was excellent. I also ordered the fish and chips which was very mediocre. About what we expected.
As far as the service though, this place was horrible. Whoever the bartender was that was serving everybody looked like she hated her life, Which is fine except for she treated everybody that way too. She acted annoyed every time she came to see if things were okay or to take our order. I can't say I can ever recall having someone so rude that is a server! It certainly put us off that place.
Needless to say we won't be coming back here on our trip to Tri-Cities.
I've been here once so I can't really speak to it's "as good as it gets"edness...but my my drinks were just fine. The other patrons were fairly entertaining (people in their 40s+ doing shots on a Thursday FTW...oh wait...leggings with holes in them worn as pants? double winning). Server was attentive and not obnoxious. The place is huge too, with lots of pool tables. I always want to give ANY bar without smoke 5 stars until I remember that not every state is as back-ass-wards as Indiana when it comes to protecting peoples' lungs. The Pub reminds me a lot of the Mousetrap in Indianapolis, which isn't a bad thing at all. I don't think I'd come here by myself, as a girl though...doesn't seem unsafe, but seems like I might be annoyed.
Review Source:Made it here with some friends on a Friday night. Â The joint is pretty huge and has a looOOoooooOng bar! Â They also had a fair selection of brews on tap. Â Most people were chilling out in the front area (where most of the tables are). Â In the back there are a few pool tables and more seating---it's huge back here (I've heard there have been bands here, and I imagine they must set up back here).
Our server was nice and didn't let us see the bottom of our glasses. Â We were a bit hungry, so we ordered some food. Â Mainly fried fare was available when we were here. Â It was decent, not great. Â
I've heard/seen this place host events (i.e. Mardi Gras Night, St. Patrick's Day, WSU games, etc.), and this place can get pretty jam-packed.
Can't wait to give this place another visit.
Maybe the best bar in Tri-Cities, which is kinda like being the best smelling dung beetle. Good selection of beers. Bar made with real wood (not deteriorating particle board). Wood floors (rather than wall to wall carpeting soaked in beer and vomit). They have a make-shift stage they set up for small bands. Â The place is big enough so that if you don't like the band, you can go to the other end of the bar and carry on a conversation. Â Also, there are pool tables, darts, a basketball shooting thing, and a couple of video games if you want to do something besides stare at the wall or the bottom of your cup.
I love a good dive bar, but that seems to be the only kind of bar in Tri-Cities. This is a nice step up without becoming hoity toity or overpriced. Also tends to get a decent crowd on the weekends.
I like peanuts. And this place gives them to you. FOR FREE!!
They also have a really healthy appetizer called, "Fried Potato Chips" that I love to dip in ranch. Don't sue me.
The only thing I disliked was that they had the radio blasting music, which is fine...but when I put in a bunch of songs in the jukebox, the radio did not shut off so I could hear the songs I paid for. ugh!
This place is a landmark in Kennewick.  Every time I make it home my cousin and I plan a "Pub" night where we invite pretty much everyone we know.  Our most recent gathering was Monday.  We had a decent sized group, people coming and going all evening.  I ate dinner with a friend before most of the group showed up and was pretty impressed.  The burger was really good, although they were out of tots (sad) and the waffle fries were way to crispy for my tastes (double sad).  The waitress was very attentive...almost too much at times.  As people stepped across the threshold she was there "what do you want to drink?"  They didn't even have a chance to say hi or sit down before being accosted for their drink order.  However, when weighing the opposite scenario I would much rather have an overly attentive server then one who doesn't come back.  I'll see  you all again in December!
Review Source:Judging from the outside of this place I expected it to be a complete dump. Â When I first walked in I thought I had pinned it exactly right because the floor was covered in crap (mostly peanut shells) but it really wasn't bad. Â We walked into a very nicely lit room that had plenty of activities to keep everyone happy. Â They have a bunch of pool tables, a huge shuffle board table and a few other games scattered around. Â They also have free in the shell peanuts and popcorn which is a huge plus. Â I was also impressed with their waitstaff while we were there, they always came around at the right time but not too early and before I had finished my beer. Â Â
I've never wanted to go into this place because the outside looks so trashy but it is worth checking out if you are in the tri-cities. Â (don't expect upscale martinis by any account, this is a mixed drink and beer bar)
After a long day shopping at Big Lots and Walmart Super Center, I need a place to get black-out drunk. Thank you "The Pub!"
To be honest, I dig the bartenders here because they dont make fun of me for going by myself. And they pour a tasty Guinness. YUM.
Apparently, the drinks are so good and strong, that fighting is preferred over playing the game when a disagreement exists over who is better at shuffleboard! I had front row tickets when this went down. You cant make this stuff up, peeps.
If you are in the market for abusing beer, wine and spirits, give this place a good look. If you are a professional shuffleboard player who likes to get faded once in a while... pack your brass knuckles or risk taking a beat down!
My wife and I go to the Pub on a pretty regular basis, but probably not often enough to be a "regular".
Their lunch specials are usually pretty good, and a good value to boot. We enjoy the free peanuts and popcorn when we're in the mood to just drink a pitcher of beer and snack a bit. They have a decent draft beer selection, and we've always had really good, friendly service. For us, this is pretty much the default place if we just want a pitcher of beer, or a good burger and a beer. Â Their fish tacos are actually pretty good too.
If you gave The Pub a litmus test, its pH would be a 7. Â Its not very reactive, it doesn't inspire any strong feelings in me. Â It's just there. Â Hanging out, being neutral, serving drinks.
Although, while at The Pub, I once saw a guy wearing white linen pants, white linen button shirt (all buttons open, of course, to do otherwise is just bad fashion), and flip flops. Â Then his cell phone rang and it was Don Johnson requesting his Crockett wardrobe back. Â
Take from that what you will.
First things, first. Â The Pub is a local bar, but the service is no different whether you're from here, or not (unless you're a regular, in which case, what bar doesn't take care of their regulars?). Â If you go up to the bar, it may take a little while to get served, but that's just because there seem to usually be only 1 or 2 bartenders at a time (and the price should make up for that). Â The flip side to this is that other people will come around to take your orders if you don't want to go to the bar.
As for bar experience, this place has ambiance...or maybe that should be "pub-iance". Â It's great: Â you get free popcorn and peanuts (whose shell you toss on the floor), a pretty good number of beers on tap, a bunch of pool tables, some arcade games, and, here's the kicker...a FULL-LENGTH SHUFFLEBOARD TABLE! Â Unfortunately, I'm only back in the Tri-Cities a couple times a year, but when I am, my friends and I plant ourselves at the shuffleboard table when we come here.
This place is especially busy around holidays, when everybody's back home from school or wherever they've gone, and it's like an impromptu reunion (especially Kamiakin, I've found). Â Some enjoy that, some may not.
And the location is quite convenient--it's right across a parking lot from a Catholic church. Â Sinner.
As a transplant to the Tri-Cities and an alumni of Washington State University, Go Cougs, my expectations of a bar are pretty simple. You need at least five beers on tap, it needs to be gloomy, and there needs to be at least two old guys getting drunk at 2:30pm on a weekday. Â
  The Pub has this and more, you have your choice of two free bar snacks, popcorn or my favorite peanuts which you then shell and throw on the floor. How great is that. They have about 7 or 8 beers on tap and a full bar selection with some stiff pours, the food is basic pub grub but cheap and plentiful. Lots of specials on sports nights as well as being the prime location to watch Cougar sports, lots of Cougs frequent this establishment.
