Welcome to Wild Child.

Hi! We’re Keely and Emily! We’re the masterminds behind Wild Child. Coming from opposite coasts of the country, we came together to join our 40+ years of restaurant experience.

We met back in 2022 working at Wild Man Brewing Gastropub. During our time at Wild Man, we were introduced to the joy of Downtown Olympia. Downtown Olympia grew to become home for us. When Wild Man decided to close down its Olympia location, we knew we had to take over. With the love and support of our famOly, we took a big gamble and bought the bar.

The experience of bar ownership has been a dream come true for both of us. For the first time in our restaurant careers, we’re able to do all the crazy things we wanted to do. 

Our first focus is to repay the community that gave us life. We aim to provide a place for local artists, performers, and musicians. We host a variety of shows from music to comedy to drag to plays. We are also proud participants of Olympia Arts Walk.  We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for everyone. We are happy to be partnered with Capital City Pride and Safe Olympia. It is our goal to give Olympia a place to gather and be its best self.

In the spirit of community, we are dedicated to being a family friendly establishment. A large number of our events are open to all ages and we gear certain events towards families and kids. We also run a children’s menu with all the classics. On Monday nights we offer a free kid’s meal with the purchase of an entree. 

We inherited a stunning 32 taps. We’ve been working with local breweries, cideries, and meaderies to create a fun and balanced draft selection. We want to match the energy of our tap list with our cocktail selection. We strive to make as many of our mixers and syrups in house as humanly possible. We rotate our cocktail menu seasonally to keep things fresh and interesting. We pour equal love and attention into our mocktail menu and NA beverage selection. Our stock of NA beers and bottled sodas is constantly growing and we are working to have a fully stocked NA fridge.

Ultimately, a restaurant is nothing without food. Since taking over, we have drastically reduced the size of our menu. We are working on elevating the quality of both our technique and our ingredients. We have been blessed in building a staff with a range of culinary experience. As we perfect our menu execution, we are developing a new Happy Hour menu and possible brunch menu. We also have tons of ideas to diversify and upgrade our weekly specials. 

All in all, we want to create a space filled with love, joy, and chaos. A space that reflects all that Olympia has given to us. We are humbled and grateful to be on this adventure with all of you. We’re excited for the memories to come. Cheers!
