"Moved here 2015 but this is our 1st. time here, we called and found out they serve prime rib (dairy free, no brushed butter on top!) on Saturdays! It was delicious, the Chef/Cook did an excellent job with the prime rib and the presentation of the entire dinner! Drinks were great and everyone looked like they were having a good time!"

"Hidden gem in Salem. (21 and up) It's absolutely one of my favorite goto spots for delicious food and great drinks. Corner Pocket serves a great breakfast/brunch, lunch, and dinner, with daily specials. Corner Pocket won 3rd Best Beer Selection in the Willamette Valley. They have an incredible selection of beers, craft cocktails, and other libations. I absolutely love their lemon drops. There is also this great smoked hot apple cider I enjoy during the cooler months, which Leslie makes. All of the bartenders, cooks, and owners are fantastic, welcoming, and make each visit memorable in the best way possible. They offer many events and activities. If you enjoy playing pool, this is a great place to stop by and play. There is free pool until 4 pm daily, trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. Special events throughout the year. We enjoy coming here to spend time with our friends and to meet new friends. This South Salem hidden gem is so much more than a bar & grill. It's time to go enjoy my delicious patty melt and lemon drop."

"They have 4 pool you can play with your friends if you want. That’s kinda nice. Generally I will expect bar would be more dirty or messy, but actually we can see this bar is cleaner than average. Service are nice and patient too. Food are normal. If you expect for just food, don’t…"

"I like to go there for breakfast n beer. Not a lot of people in the morning. They have canned cheep beer also along with draft beer. Pool tables and slot machines. Haven't seen anyone playing pool in the mornings but there usually is someone playing the slot machines. Food is 3 star moderately spendy. I'm usually spending about $20 for a couple beers n breakfast. Good place for breakfast and beer."

"Came here to Karaoke and had a blast!!! There was plenty of space, I didn't feel crowded, even though there was plenty of people there. They have pool tables, a dance floor and electric dartboard. My friends ordered tater tots and they were decent. The outside area was heated and you can bring your drinks outside. I also really like that they have a security guard posted at the door just outside the Bar. I will most definitely be going back!!"
