In the heart of Kelso’s welcoming neighborhood, this casual bar and grill offers a relaxed spot where locals come for straightforward comfort food and a solid drink selection. It’s the kind of place that feels like a community gathering spot more than a bustling restaurant, with a mix of regulars and visitors quietly enjoying their meals or catching a game. You’ll find everything from hearty breakfast plates and classic deli sandwiches to fried seafood baskets and small plates—meals that pair well with the well-curated beer and cocktail menu.
The atmosphere is unpretentious and easygoing, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating that suits anyone from solo diners to groups. The friendly, down-to-earth service adds to the welcoming vibe, making it a natural stop for those looking for a casual meal or a late-night bite without fuss. Whether you’re in the mood for a slow morning brunch or a quick bite after work, the place has a cozy, almost nostalgic feel with touches like bar games and ample seating designed for comfort and accessibility.
People who appreciate straightforward, no-nonsense comfort food come here — from those wanting a solid turkey melt or burger to fans of more classic deli and grill fare. It’s also a favored spot for anyone wanting to relax with a drink, whether it’s a thoughtfully made Bloody Mary or a cold beer, all served in a space that feels rooted in the local community rather than the usual tourist path. Free parking and easy access round out a spot that’s quietly convenient and genuinely welcoming.

5 A great little place, family owned, good food and really low prices, the staff is great too
5 Stopped in for a drink after a long day of traveling while on vacation. Everyone was so nice and welcoming to us, as it was obviously a neighborhood bar. We had a nice conversation with a local patron and the bartender was very nice as well. Thanks for welcoming us! Sorry it has taken me awhile to review this.
5 Well I’ve been hearing about how cheap Tims bar and grill was for about a year. They definitely fit that bill 100%. They were pretty easy going and welcoming also. Treated us like we were treated in the 90’s. Not very often you find places still like this in this country let alone Washington State! We ordered the cheeseburgers worth fries and it was the best burger I’ve had in Cowlitz county so far. We ordered 2 burger meals and a pitcher of beer. The bill came out to just $21.75 OUT THE DOOR. Pretty amazing to pay this. I’ve been in all the states in America and this place ranks pretty high up in affordable prices in 2024.
5 As you all know, I travel 250 days a year coast to coast finding a great bar is important. Tims is an amazing mix of Dive Bar, a neighborhood bar, and a pool hall. To me, darn near perfection. Great service, great selection of beer, and a pretty liquor selection. I wish there was a patio for a good cigar with my bourbon, buy hey it is in liberal Wa. It's a great place with amazing people and an equally amazing staff.
5 The best Bloody Mary in town served by the most amazing bartender. She's sassy, quirky and makes this place fun to visit during the day.
5 Great waitress!! Great people and wonderful breakfast. A bit hard to find parking. I would definitely recommend. Nice atmosphere.
5 My sister and I we decided to go check this place out today. I have to say that Tims has a great coverd area outside. They have a lot of pool tables, Darts, and a few shuffleboards. Affordable menu, Great drinks also Affordable. The Bartender (Tina)was nice, friendly, on it and she can make a drink. It was clean the bathroom was clean the whole place look great. I really like that there was so many Older black and white Pics of Kelso. We can't wait to go back .
5 The ladies here pour a great drink and good food. We have been going here for years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
