The Backyard on Thirteenth

Paul who works the beer counter was rude to our group including my young daughter and ultimately gave us a horrible experience (and others around us). We arrived here after the rain and multiple groups asked for the gas heaters to be turned on. Paul threw his hands up in the air and stormed off with no rhyme or reason. After he returned we asked how it was going - no response. The last straw was when my daughter went up the counter to get some water and he served other people first after she made her request. I will contact local Paso business leaders in the area and actively work to not support establishments that employ sewer people.

Admittedly there was some type of issue in their kitchen on a non-busy night but this was not disclosed during order. Waited 50 minutes and $24+ on a gas station quality sandwich. Precooked pulled pork on an over toasted (hard and parts burnt) bun. No toppings. I am at a lost for words.

Ambiance and patio setup is nice tho!

UPDATE: As a Paso local - this is easily one of the best places to eat & drink in town. The beers is amazing and it's a perfect place to relax and chill in a very laid back environment.

Highly recommended!

Decent food and great beer selection.

We love this little place. Super fun outdoor patio venue and a great selection of bevies.

Drinks and ambience were good. The food was incredibly disappointing and overpriced for what it was. We got the shrimp po boys- the bread was probably 80% of the sandwich, it had 6 pieces of shrimp and a lot of lettuce/tomato. Was not even remotely worth the $18 bucks.

Maybe we just ordered poorly and the rest of the food is decent- seems to be a well reviewed place overall. Would not recommend the shrimp po boy.

Food came out at different intervals which sucked for the three of us. Food was delicious.
Service is great. Huge selection of beers on tap and can/bottle. AND they have a big selection of non alcoholic beers. Dog friendly . Come hang out . :)

Unfortunately it is kid friendly and from our time their we saw a lot of parents with really young kids, drinking and letting the little kids run around without supervision, we had two little kids come up to our table to try and eat our food. Not cool and shouldn’t be allowed:

A great family friendly setup with 20+ beers on tap and delicious food to accompany it. With a fenced off area for families and outside games for the kids plus kids sized benches, it made for a fun lunch!

One of the first breweries I've seen to offer a Shrimp PO' Boy, so we had to get that! Fantastic! 🍤🥖🍺

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian burger and we added chips for $2

Kid-friendliness: Kids benches and tables, giant connect 4 and giant Jenga plus a fenced off area

Came for an election event. My first visit here. I don't drink, so it will probably be a while before I return, but I thought it was a good place to have a small gathering.

What a neat little spot. I love the architecture and design of the place. Food was standard fair. Burgers, fries, and the like.

Amazing venue with overpriced beer. $8.50 for a craft brew is a bit much even for California!

Wife and I were in Paso Robles for the evening with our dog and wanted somewhere to take her. We walked the main areas, and saw The Backyard.
I really liked the vibe of the "back" of the place, supre cozy yet open, other patrons were fun when I was chatting and in line.

Staff was super welcoming to all 3 of us, and service was great. We got the pup pad for my pooch, and even that was cooked to "just right".
A great selection of foods, beers, and wines.

Next time I have to go down to Paso Robles this will be a definite stop.

Parking: Found a street side about a block away, and grabbed that fast. This was afterall a Saturday night, in Autumn.
