If the service weren't so dismissive, rude, and unfriendly, this would be a cool bar.

Very cool little metal club. If I lived near Olympia I would visit much more often. Thanks for playing Pure Holocaust for me.

A Group of about 10 of us were out celebrating my sons 21st bday. We decided to check this bar out and immediately upon entering we were discriminated against. The Bar keeper was extremely rude. When we walked up to the bar I had gestured to him saying he was so tall and he immediately went to the extreme yelling and saying he wasn't going to serve me because I put my finger in his face. When I say extreme I mean being erratic and walking back and forth behind the bar and raising his voice for the whole bar to hear. Which was really embarrassing. I walked out and went with the rest of my group who were waiting by a table we had picked. This is where another situation started to escalate between another member of our group and the front door guy who was checking ID'S. The guy was yelling at my friend and kicking him out of the bar. I tried to deescalate the situation by calmly asking the guy what had happened and he screamed at me and kicked me out as well. They also had taken my friends nephews ID and wouldn't give it back. Another member of our party decided to go in and ask for it and they lied and said they didn't have it. I wouldn't recommend this bar to anyone. No one deserves to be treated the way we were treated.

Horrible HORRIBLE bar!! We had a good group of us out and about last night and this bar ruined the evening for everyone!! I personally had walked to a table to save it for our group while a few other went inside to get a drink. While the ID guy checking ID’s cut off a couple of people which is fine but my nephew came back out and said they took his ID and wouldn’t give it back. WOW so I proceeded to go in with my nephew and politely just ask for it back and we would all leave. The guy working the front went ballistic screaming at the top of his lungs for us to just leave he wouldn’t hear a word we were asking… I kept looking at my nephew as I couldn’t believe this guy could treat us this way !!! Omg !! Another guy that worked there came over to ask us to leave again we weren’t trying to cause a scene we just asked for my nephews ID back …. They proceeded to keep it under no good reason and refused to give it back … Miserable bar horrible experience…They suck and all it looks like is a gothic hell whole!! Never ever going back there EVER !! The guy in the front should be fired !

Do not waste your time at this bar. Their staff are so rude and the bouncer thinks he is law enforcement. We went there with a group of seven to celebrate ours sons 21st on his leave from the military. Not only did they judge us the bouncer physically pushed my wife.

Showed DJ that I paid him to play a song which he didn’t play and he said “I’m going to call my lawyer.” ??? But I PAID HIM. I’’m very confused. He is going to call his lawyer because I paid him to play a song? I will never go back. It absolutely is not dark and goth as it was originally. It’s just another bar. Zero stars.

Cute bar with interesting offerings. Unfortunately when visiting, I guess the bartender on shift didn’t like our style, we waited for 20 minutes at the bar for him to acknowledge us and it never happened so we left. Only 2 other people were in the location at the time, so I’m not sure why the service was so poor

Cash Only bar. I’m sorry but there is no warning and I never carry cash. Bartender served my drink and I had to walk out. I never carry my debit card either. It’s 2024! Visiting from Colorado.

they let me bring in Mountain Dew, and then they'll keep it for months back there for me. Then I buy them bad boys back for 20 bucks a can. I mean, most bars wouldn't even entertain such an arrangement, but the staff and owners are amazing. I guess I should tell you that I do this because A) I don't drink and someone sitting not drinking is suspicious. probably a slasher or something like that and B) How else can I tip the bestest bartender on earth?

I love the initial atmosphere of this bar. It's dimly lit, has great drinks, and perfect for relaxing with friends in private booths....until you find yourself having to scream over the live band that starts playing. It completely ruins the vibe of the outting, unless you go there intending to see a band. I don't feel like the constant live music makes sense for the setup here. This is basically just a concert venue. I wish there could be one day (Friday or Saturday) that doesn't have live music. It's not sensory friendly like you'd intially think it is. It's a bummer.

Entered at 11:30, left at 11:40 last night. Lady behind the counter degraded me for not tipping, (in front of other customers by the way) when I was about to go to the atm to get more cash. Needless to say, will NOT be returning. Shame, Used to be my favorite bar.

Lovingly deemed"the vampire bar" , an Olympia staple . Heavy pours, cheap prices. Inside you'll find what we call "Harvey Potter booths" easily intimate for conversations but still apart of the scene. You may even stumble upon live music. But if you do, you will not be able to converse easily as they only book bangers who are very loud. It's the only dive bar I want to go to,a total vibe. "Crown of bees" is my fav drink!

I've been here a few times now, it's a fun place. But it's cash only, and at least one of the booths has an open hole in the ceiling where dust fell in my drink- that should definitely be covered. I prefer my cider without any nonconsensual mixers 😅 I love that it's a good place for community, such as the jam band on Mondays. Very unique and very Olympia.

Great place to chill with friends and listen to some music. I was there for my friend's band's gig and enjoyed the feel of this place. Dark, dingy, and just the perfect amount of dirty made this bar a winner in my book. If in Olympia, go check out Cryptatropa Bar!

The drink selection is pretty good and the drink I got was perfect alcohol ratio wise. Come check out a show here or just hang in the booths with friends. My partner and I loved that we could sit in a booth and listen to the band.

I went into this bar with my friends and lost my ID and decided to reach out the next day to see if anyone had picked it up. I was unable to find a phone number and decided to reach out on Facebook. That’s where my issue arose. I asked the man who was in charge of the business account if he had seen it. I was then told to go there myself and see. I then further explained I wasn’t from the area and that it would be a great inconvenience to come down there and find out it isn’t there and proceed to ask if there was a number I could call. I was then told “phones are for boomers.” By him. The bar was fun until I talked with them after hours. I’d say this bar was unprofessional and disrespectful. As it should welcome all.

Great place, if you want to be anonymous or meet up with people in the darkness. Strangely it is the only place in town to get hot food after midnight during the week, in the form of delicious empanadas. The whisky ginger bites you back and so might the bartender if you are lucky. If you are in Olympia at night, go there.

They need to keep the bathroom clean. This is a business. I used to swear off this place specifically because of the bathroom, but after Covid they did such a good job that I went back. I was just there the other night and it’s gone back the way it was. It’s sooooo dirty. The bathroom is absolutely repulsive. Costumers deserve better. It’s not cool, or fun funky to be a health hazard. My shoes are still on my porch. Nasty.

Cryptotropa is the beating heart of many excellent bands from the surrounding municipality. The many bands which pass through include metal, punk, rave, bluegrass, and folk this is a solid venue to check out downtown. It's as though rock n roll never died here, McCoys across the way helps keep things punk.
