Bailey Motor Inn

Bailey restaurant and motel has been closed for over a year.

Come to bailey’s for the weird atmosphere. A couple of miles yet somehow worlds away from Downtown Olympia. Nightly drink specials, a huge back yard to hang out in, a big dance floor, a place to crash, fried bar food till 1 am, and karaōke 7 nights a week. check out mozzez singing country hits any weeknight. bring a group of friends and totally take over the joint. A little sketchy, I’ve heard some stories. If you’re like me that makes it all the more exciting.

So, it was Christmas eve, and I was in my childhood home for the holidays. My nephews wanted to have a evening cocktail, but they didn’t want to go downtown. I suggested this place. I hadn’t been for some obscene number of years, but thought it would be better than the other places they mentioned.
There were a few cars in the parking lot, good sign. There isn’t much around this area. The motel, and restaurant/​bar are old, and in need of an update. Before we even walked in, we could hear the karaōke. Really? In the bar of an old MOTEL? OK. The drinks were cheap, $ 3 I think. There were a couple of pool tables, and I actually kicked butt in cutthroat.
The patrons were interesting. Nothing could’ve prepared me for the old guy that looked like an Oakridge Boy with full beard and overalls singing Mylie Cyrus, but I lived through it. It’s not the most glamorous joint, but they pour a good cocktail.
