Bungalow Bar & Grill

A lone bartender and pair of lonely locals perked their heads up as Olivia and me stepped into the Bungalow for an afternoon drink. Their eyes said, «ya’ll ain’t from around these here parts» while the barmaid’s actions said, «don’t care t’all, whatcha drinkin.»
Bungalow Bar & Grill is a small town country bar with pool tables, simple grill for pub grub, and a jukebox playing whatever that feller from nearby Stevenson chose. Leave your moral inquiries outside when entering Bungalow because this bar is at the edge of town somewhere between the veneer of respectability and seedier layers lurking on the fringes.
A round of local Backwoods Brewing craft beers and an order of mysterious fried beef fingers called Steakettes gave us the excuse to look away and settle in to our own conversation. We don’t want no trouble and neither do you’ns. Another round of drinks and we were good. We quietly paid our respects and bill before slipping back out the front door.
I’ll definitely visit Bungalow Bar & Grill again … the next time I’m in Carson, WA … which may be never or it just might be soon if I’m in need of a heavy dose of surrealism and a cold beer.

12 of us stopped in for lunch on a bike ride to Mt. St. Helens. This looks like a small place not used to large groups all at once. The lone waitress/​bartender was super friendly and efficient. Delicious burgers and other sandwiches were served quickly, drinks kept full, and checks split accurately and happily. Great service and delicious bar food. Just be careful, they deliver 5 bottles of condiments with your order. Their red stuff is strong (but tasty) horseradish and not fry sauce. I’ll definitely go back.

I felt this was more of a locals hangout. The food was ok and there was little atmosphere. So I would say it just average

I have to first mention Beth the Bartender. She’s was a bit prickly fromt the onset but warmed up to us city slickers within no time! She was hilarious and yet so good with the obnoxiously drunk locals, even refusing to serve them for periods of time.
This place is the perfect follow-​up to a visit to the local hot springs visit… you detoxify at the hot springs and retoxify here. The food is all grease based and they serve it all night. The drinks are cheap and poured very generously. The patrons all know each other and provide much entertainment.
I’ll be here after each visit to the hot spring — guaranteed!
