You’ll get kicked out of this bar for absolutely no reason. I was simply sitting at a table hanging out with friends, when one of the bouncers suddenly comes over and aggressively tells me “if you’re sleeping then you gotta go” (i was wide awake, literally just sitting there).
Then a minute later he comes over with another bouncer and tells me i’m getting kicked out for sleeping….? I stand up, my friend and I ask the guy - what’s the deal, since i’m not causing any issuse (and wide awake) The bouncer gets agressive and pushes my friend. Oh and on the way out, another patron sees this and exclaims how unfair and rude the security is.
Ownership - what kind of conduct is this? How is that acceptable from your employees? Completely unreasonable security that kicks people out for minding their own business and trying to enjoy the night with friends is not the way to create a fun setting. If i was causing an actual issue i’d admit it. But it was shocking to get treated that way last night.

Great service and a regular local live music scene that's as good as it gets!

Usually I love 1st street but recently my apartment (including my id and passport) burned down in the palisades fire in LA and i brought proof of my age via pictures of my id but i was denied entry. I understand if you can't let me in because I don't have my id (already applied for a new id at the disaster shelter) but they were incredibly rude about it. I just lost everything I've ever owned, I don't have a bed anymore, the least you could do is be kind while rejecting me.

Perfect local dive. Love the service and the pours are always on point. Bartenders are fun and personable. Security is on top of everything and truly watching everywhere. Always feel safe in here as a woman.

Only here for 20 min to talk to band member. I liked the easy going feel - a relaxed ambiance of the place. A nice contrast to busy Foreign Legion around the corner. There were 6 TV screens and guys playing pool and a cool bar the length of the place. Off in back left was a stage and single music performer was playing. Good feel, next time stay longer and eat/drink. People I’ve met love this place. It’s like an icon Encinitas bar.

Love the service here, definitely somewhere I would return to and spend more time. We only had a quick visit and really enjoyed it. We passed by mid afternoon and could feel a lovely warm atmosphere, we would like to sample a busy evening here as it does look great.

An icon on the 101 Highway. Great dive bar with plenty of TVs and a pool table. Be sure and stop by Mondays for open mic comedy. Keep an eye out for Afi Komonn those days.

Barvtender didn't make conversation until after it was time to pay the bill. And there was only 1 other group of people at this time.
