The Tri-Cities' Best Sports Bar
Voted Best Sports Bar and Best Bar/Tavern in the Tri-Cities, Sam's has been Kennewick's go-to place to catch the game, grab a cold one, and hang with friends since 2003.
What keeps folks coming back is the fastest service in town: someone is always right there with your next drink, your food, or your pull tabs. It's why bartenders and servers spend their nights off here. Between innings, there's darts, AC/DC pinball, and Golden Tee.
