Downtown

Downtown Olympia is the heart of Washington's state capital, a compact, walkable area long known for a mix of government workers, Evergreen State College students, and a genuinely independent arts and music scene. BarFinder lists 51 venues here, led by classic bars with cocktail bars, wine bars, and breweries all well represented - spots like Filibuster Cocktail Bar & Lounge and Three Magnets Brewing Co. fit a downtown that punches above its weight for a city this size. It's a dense, walkable scene well suited to moving between several spots in one night.
