14 Best Bars in Paso Robles

“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! ❤️🎱“

Parking: Nighttime you usually find something out back or on the streets for several blocks

“Carole and her husband have created magic at Parchetto, wow!! The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is ridiculously delicious. For the owner to have another restaurant under her belt, and still make time to get to know me and share her story, that is what relationship building is all about! I can't wait to come back for their brunch. Please make it a point to visit this great establishment. I will return!“

“The casino isn't there any more. Under new ownership and awaiting licencing for casino so it's in the works. But the food is phenomenal, compliments to the chef..bar tender Kevin is on point with everything and will always get a good tip every time. Keep up the good work “

“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.“

“Outstanding service and food!“

“Wonderful family owned & operated restaurant. It’s our favorite seafood restaurant in the whole country! We go as often as possible & every detail consistently exceeds our already high expectations! Nothing but praise! Thank you for your exceptional culinary skills & personal customer service in/with family warmth!“

“Pros: the starter corn chips used a fresh tomatillo/avocado salsa that was delicious. Horchata was custom made with an included refill which after a long day was amazing. Shrimp dishes were fresh and flavorful.
Cons: allergy information could be improved“

“Ceviche was absolutely delicious!“

“Miss JC but our server tonight was excellent and my filet was great.“
