18 Best Bars near Atascadero

“Favorite Dive Bar in the central coast! Recommend checking it out“

“This place is great, my brother and I always come here for football games. Alcoholic drinks are good, you definitely won’t leave sober if you get any beer there lol. It’s on the more expensive side but the food is well worth it. I’ve tried a few different things here and I’ve never been disappointed or dissatisfied with anything. The servers I’ve come across are great.“

“Not Just a Bar, A Place That Held Me

I walked in just before closing. First night in a new city, with a 3 a.m. bus to catch and nowhere to wait. I wasn’t looking for a drink, just somewhere to rest for a while.

This bar welcomed me anyway. No questions, no rush. Just great music, good people, and a soft kind of energy that made everything feel okay.

It wasn’t loud or flashy, it was warm. It felt safe. In a city I didn’t know, it gave me something simple but rare: a place to stay when I needed one, and a night that turned into a memory.

Not every bar leaves a mark. This one did.
One day, I’ll tell someone about the time I waited for a 3 a.m. bus, and how a bar made me feel at home for a few quiet hours.

Only one regret: I should’ve got the T-shirt that said, “It’s not a city. It’s a vibe.” It is, indeed!

Definitely the best bar in town.🫶🏻“

“The Crimson Cue is a wonderful billiards club that not only offers large, well lighted tables with felt that is like new, they also polish the balls regularly. They also offer darts and shuffleboard, and they have several chess sets and a few regulars who might just play you!
The owners, Erik and Abbi, have put so much thought, energy and care into making Crimson Cue a welcoming place for everyone who walks through the door. I went a few times with my son, but neither of us knew much about pool when we started. Erik has helped us learn the fundamentals and several other regulars have offered us ongoing tips so we can both improve our games. It truly feels like a home away from home. They are always friendly and helpful.
It doesn’t matter if you are a local or only in town for the weekend - there is a place for you for here! Just want to have a good time on a date night during a vacation weekend in Paso? Try this out! You will not regret it. Or are you a local looking to learn pool and find a fun community of people who are really into it? Then you can’t miss Crimson Cue. They make it really affordable and always a happy, relaxed vibe.
I can’t recommend them enough! ❤️🎱“

“I’m always stoked for the fellows behind he bar. They offer fun chat, solid suggestions, and a solid demeanor.

And that’s on the “not a concert” nights. They’re even better on those.

One of the best in the county!“

“After days of drinking and tasting overpriced crushed grapes, it was a pleasant relief to go into a bar and not drink or eat overpriced anything. Not fancy, but good location close to town, friendly and cheerful service, has a pool table, music and a couple of dartboards that kept us entertained for hours. Not really a craft beer type of place, but a pint or two of 805, is ok in a pinch. Will certainly pay them a visit next time we are in town. TIP: They are open till 2:00 pm so good place for a nightcap and a last game of pool. If you found this review informative, please check the box below as I am trying to set a record. Thank you“

“While the service could have been more attentive (they missed out on a last one round of drinks because they didn't come back to our table), the atmosphere and duo singing that evening were both outstanding.
We would definitely go back.“

“The staff and owners always make you feel at home, like it's your first time here. We've been coming for years and the food/atmosphere is always consistent. We've never had a bad meal and most are over the top. Request Florentine style when ordering fish. You won't be disappointed. In this photo, we had blackened lingcod and beef stroganoff! Muy fantastico!“

“Dined here tonight. The food was delicious, food came to our table quickly and 2 male servers that helped us were so kind and accommodating. We ordered the shrimp tostada, fried tilapia plate, and an asada taco with rice and beans. All were super yummy and I loved the green avocado/cilantro salsa that they bring to the tableWe are Paso locals and are excited to frequent this establisment!“

“Outstanding service and food!“
