About

Bar: Full bar

Downtown Olympia's Water Street Cafe and Bar sits on Capitol Lake Park, a spot known for its Wine Spectator Award of Excellence from 2006 to 2015. Executive Chef Jeff Taylor was named one of America's top 2500 chefs in Best Chefs America 2013. The menu spans Italian, Mediterranean, seafood, and Cajun-Creole. The full bar, happy hour from 2-6pm, and outdoor seating make it easy to linger. Note: the venue is currently temporarily closed. You can check local updates to see if it has reopened.

Reservations are accepted, and the vibe is elegant but not stuffy. The wine list and craft cocktails are the draw here. If you're nearby, consider Old School Pizzeria for a slice instead.
