Palmers East

This is the worst experience I’ve had in Redmond. A few things to unpack: 1. The bartender served us was rude and confusing. After ordering the drink, he asked for a credit card to open a tab, which was fine. And then, he asked us to show the IDs and to provide a credit card despite that I have given him the credit card already and doorman has checked the IDs. I understand that it may be hard to track things when it’s busy. But the following thing made no sense. 2. I asked him to close the tab, and while signing the check, he was WATCHING me do it and only moved eyes away after I finished it. It was extremely uncomfortable. 3. I got charged for almost $30 dollars (not including tips) for one Tito’s vodka soda and one long island. I’m not sure if it’s normal for this bar but it’s definitely a higher than I expected. I won’t go there ever again due to the experience. It definitely made me feel disrespected in many ways. Also I’m not sure if it’s related but think twice going there if you’re people of color.

We came from out of town, looking to find something fun…. This bar, by far, beat any expectations we could have had; The drinks were great, service was simple and prompt, and the DJ of the night was smooth, welcoming, business-like and a teddy bear wrapped into one. He had a fan blowing behind him and with his pony tail he was practically a modern day karaoke Fabio. Majestic and all. 10/10

This bar is a staple of historic and modern Redmond. I spent my 21st birthday here and continuously patron this bar time to time over the years, months. Tommy is not only an amazing business owner, you’ll also see him behind the bar serving the zealous community of the Eastside and beyond time and time again; sufficiently. Here’s to continuous and ever growing great memories with Pamlers East

Watch out for the Friday/Saturday night female bartender she steals from the customers, paying cash she seems to always forget to bring the change. Other bartenders have told me she does it all the time yet the male bartenders that have done this get fired but this particular female does not.....interesting. Also my honest reviews seemed to get removed...they will keep coming
