Last Frontier Saloon

Great hamburger. The fries were well seasoned & crispy. I had Just gotten done with a medical treatment. I'm hungry. Stop at this bar & ask for hot tea. Waitress says "honey this is a dive bar...Great dive bar.Asked for baileys & coffee. The coffee machine was broken the bartender got her coffee maker out of the car & made me a damn good Baileys & coffee!Great Dive bar & we will be back.

weekend filled with ever-upbeat and hope-for-the-future moments as are weddings, most anyway, had very real need for a reprieve from this wholesome diet. not that i didn't want the best for my son, but there's no way to describe why i felt so alien being around the kind of normal people he and his bride are fortunate to surround themselves with. they're lucky, or more careful, certainly raised in time and place less likely to damage. not so where and when i came from. i won't go into what exactly shaped my own nature, except to say you might well have predicted something ultimately a bit diseased. lucky having finally had the moment to father two great kids. but kids are gone sooner than you think, and what replaces them is more of what you were in the process of getting away from in the first place, which is what i was doing now, after a few days in this wedding happening in suburban Seattle. for an incurable melancholic like myself, nothing else grounds like being surrounded by kindred lost souls in a true dive bar, especially a new-found one happened upon while driving alone in twilight on some random road to nowhere in particular. given that i'm a stranger in the area, most any road off the mainroad qualifies. the outskirts is what i was looking for this evening and sure enough, deus ex machina, my trusty muse came through again. for some time now i've believed, not in the kindness of strangers but that i do have one blessing in life. this is a kind of inner compass that guides me around places i've never been and won't be back again. this is helpful at the critical moment when you have to go right, or left. it's been reliable many places. it was a great find in southern bolivia, around a curve there appeared out of nowhere in the dense bushy landscape a mechanic's shed/parilla bar, this at a most opportune moment. or the impossibly odd hotel, this in name only, surrounded by ancient and sadly frozen-in-january apple orchards along the remote southern border of poland / ukraine. never know what's coming, but something tells me to turn off the gps if it still works, and trust a sense that it's just around the corner. on the other hand, realistically the fact is these finds are not necessarily of the 5* category as i have very low standards and no expectations when in this get away from mood. really anything a bit unusual qualifies, and in many cases unusual is all there is to be had in the area anyway. please, just let it be, whatever it is, something that can't help being whatever it is. that'd be me. this place was the right place, except inside it did seem a bit stagey to me for a true dive. you can't decorate for that, in fact consciously doing so is a bit like trying to catch a fly in midair. the harder you go for it, the less likely you are to get it. this trip started by heading for a kind of riverroad at north bend, but the road turned inland and less interesting, then turned riverroad like again at snoqualmie which is a name seemingly misspelled, like they forgot the w. finally on hwy 202, i came to the bridge at fall city and at the end of the bridge there it was, the last frontier saloon, misnomered of course as this was located nowhere like a frontier. but assuming it is likely the last saloon on the road, "last chance saloon" would have been more accurate, but who's counting. you have to stop given the cozy look of the place, which is tucked in between a few roadside services. inside, the decor essentially screams to you "hey, come on in and look at all this funky shxt!" ok, and that's about all there was to do, at least this early evening so i downed a few cold ones and a burger, all of which were fine. the place probably gets more lively after the sun goes out, or on weekends. as for all the gee gaws littering the place with "character" it was a bit much. you perhaps saw some of it on your grandparents farm in your infancy, if your grandparents had a farm anyway. but the real draw were the nice folks inside, easy to talk with, not damaged or diseased, but not hopelessly upbeat either.

What a great little local tavern! I'm learning quickly to listen to the locals and coworkers recommended places to try. They were spot on here. Local atmosphere on a Wednesday late afternoon, if salty language in a tavern atmosphere, bothers you, don't bother stopping in. Lol Great eclectic bar decor, Christine the bar tender and cook, was on top of it all, shout out to all hard working waiting staff, present and past. Burgers come highly recommended, I ordered the Frontier burger, with blue cheese dressing, crumbles and bacon.. delicious and cooked like a burger should be, a little pink in the middle, Yummy! Fries were done hot and crispy, all good with a few of the local beers on tap. Made for a great middle of the week top off meal. Lots of locals coming in and out, all known by Christine. Fun atmosphere, just listening to conversations, friendly and funny, with ongoing commentary on the baseball game on the strategically located TV's. If you're looking for a great burger and bar tavern off the beaten path, try the Last Frontier Saloon. Stay salty! Yelping on, God Bless and Cheers!

I like this joint for it's laid back vibe. Check your attitude at the door and chill with the locals and, on nice motorcycle riding days, fellow bikers. The service is, um, suitably informal. Decent beer selection and mediocre burgers on the eclectic patio on a ice day gives me a war feeling inside, as it is a low stress oasis, where I feel it's okay not to check e-mail for an hour or two and enjoy life at a slower pace.

This place is a joke, there was an older gentleman there, whom I think was drunk and an employee, was using the "F" bomb to talk to us about our order.... I would not recommend this place.... The staff was rude to us, and I deserve better, after all I am the customer

I have NEVER had a colder beer! We love this place and stop here after a hike whenever we can! Everyone is so friendly, you feel like you're a local.We rep the merch too!

Service from bar maid, Kera, is awful. She is defensive, abrasive, argumentative and should not be serving the public.Let us know when she has left your employment and only then will we return. We're local and want to support our community.

It's a saloon - what do you expect? Prices reflect it, it's a local divey type place, terrible customer service, good bar food and cheap drinks. Don't expect more.

Definitely a great spot for a quick bite! The Bloody Mary was also 10/10, great bartender too.

This place is great, except the fact this one lady consistently closes the place early. This past Saturday we walked in at 8.30pm and she said she was closing up. There were around 8 people at the bar, and another 6 people had just walked in. Hope someone who can make a change sees this review.
