"With an accommodating staff and a chatty crowd of regulars, the Border Tavern is a casual respite from downtown Walla Walla’s more, ahem, moneyed establishments. The old Coca-Cola pole sign in the parking lot still says “Rochester Tavern,” but no matter what you call it, this dive bar’s burgers are just as monstrous." - Meg van Huygen

Lisa was a rockstar and held the place together. She handled a 12top that just walked in. Amazing she made 8 burgers and 12drinks.

This is the best dive bar in town. 2 pool tables you’ll always be able to find someone to play a game with and great food. Burger’s are a must have. The people that come here are super friendly. It’s a modern day Cheers. Owners and workers provide great service. Cheapest beer in town!!

Great small bar. Apparently in the same location since it was established in 1941. Great atmosphere and patrons. Lisa and the owner are the only staff. It was Lisa who made the experience. She was amazing. Cheap beer and 2 decent pool tables check off all my requirements. Outside patio to smoke.

The owner, Wayo, and bartender/cook/server Lisa make a great burger and fries for less than $20, even with 2 beverages! Best value in town at this friendly neighborhood bar.

Highly recommend! Great neighborhood spot. Nice and clean with awesome historical bar and seating. Very unique! Beer is ice cold! You won't find it colder anywhere in town! Friendly staff and service! Most of all the burgers are delicious!!! Reasonable prices too! Next time we're in town we will be back!

The owner is so kind. They have pool, outdoor patio, and indoor seating. A serious old pub. The burgers are awesome! A big selection of beers, especially from Mexico. Cannot say enough about this little spot.

We just moved to the area and this is within walking distance. We love this place! Lisa and the owner (Jael? -not sure on spelling) are the nicest people ever and we have soooo much fun every time we have been! Great burgers and wings. House made fresh cut fries. They do only serve beer but that's probably not a bad thing. ;)

By far, my favorite bar in the Walla Walla area. The bar tenders are all super chill and very nice, as long as you are to them. They welcome new comers like family. Beers are cheap, food is delicious, and the atmosphere is unique. If you know someone who has gone or does go, be sure to join them, you wont regret it

This place is terrible! Dirty, smelly, over-priced cheap beer and they let people get drunk until they're falling down. You can walk in this place on random days and still see the same sad old drunks sitting at the bar. This place is down right the nastiest place in Walla Walla plus it's in a really seedy part of town. They do have food but it's just greasy bar food. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

The first time I was there the bartender was friendly & the people. Made. Us feel welcome. Don't let the first appearance fool you it is a good place .
