“stopped in town to meet the family and picked Pismo Brewing for lunch! we were greeted and seated by Celeste who is an ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR!!! we brought the party quite literally because prior, there was no one in the entire restaurant, but shortly after we ordered, Celeste was serving the whole place from front to back solo!!! As a former waitress of 15 years, it was really impressive to see and so fun to watch! The food was absolutely spectacular, delicious beers, and if you're feeling wild, be sure to try the boozy rootbeer!! The rootbeer is also brewed in house and is some of the best I've had in my 35 years of this little life so be sure to stop by, you will not be disappointed! brownie points that they were pet friendly too! :)“

“Great beer, friendly staff (ask for the brewery tour😉)“

“When traveling along the coast, I always make it a point to stop at ManRock Brewing Co. Beers are incredible (loved the “Get Him a Hoppy Bag” triple hazy IPA), food is great and comes out fast (try the bacon covered hot dog) and service is always friendly. Was surprised and happy to find they were open July 4th too! Was also able to get some cans of my favorites to bring home.“

“When the location was Libertine's, we made it an annual habit to stop in for a beer when staying in Avila. We were glad to see it is still open under Locals Taproom. In fact, nothing had really seemed to change other than new glasses. We love that the vinyl record collection is still on site and playing tunes. If you are looking for a beer just a clock off Avila's crowded main drag, check it out.“

“Food was great, had the smashburger and a tri tip burrito which both were yummy. Prices on food are kind of high, everything was like $20 and up a meal. My margarita seltzer was meh, it had a funny taste to it and would not recommend, but the Mexican lager was good. Service staff was friendly and had a good vibe and music. Would go back again.“

“First time we are there for Brunch and the Eggs Benedict was unsurpassed!“

“Great beer and awesome owners !!“

“There Does Not Exist is an absolute labor of love for craft beer fans to enjoy on the Central Coast. I've tried many beers made in SLO county over the years, but since trying TDNE for the 1st time in 2020, they take the cake when it comes to the best varietal beers top to bottom.“

“Good food and great beer.“

“Though I’m a smoker and smoking is banned in Downtown SLO I’ll still put my 40 year old habit on hold for the libertine we always enjoy the atmosphere and the people along with the beer“

“"LIFE'S TOO SHORT . . . HAVE A BLAST!" Well, I certainly did. I discovered this establishment while on a trip to the San Luis Obispo area (combination of business and pleasure). My lawyer, Barry, and I decided to give it a try for lunch. Great selection of microbrews; always a plus. I had a couple pints of one their own IPAs. Barry just had iced tea. He doesn't drink; says it hinders his judgment on the job. In addition to representing me, he also aids in the evictions of apartment tenants who are several months late with their rent. (I've noticed a lot of them seem to be single mothers with at least three kids, but I digress.) We split the Chili Cheese Waffle Fries for a starter. Loaded with chili with the right balance of spice and heartiness to it. On top of that, it didn't give me any digestive issues! Excellent burgers here. I had the Jalapeno. Half-pounder and Angus, the way it should be. Barry had a Margherita Pizza, which I thought strange coming after chili cheese fries. He said it was a lot better than the one he had at Northern Italiano a few weeks back when meeting with another client of his named Lance. Our server, Amanda, was exceptional. Just the right amount of EYE CONTACT. Regularly CHECKED UP on us, but not to the point of intrusiveness. I emphasize those points because a lot of servers today don't understand that eye contact and checking up on the customer are indispensable components to providing quality service. Barry and I were tempted to take her golfing with us. Regards, Mitchell D. Cumstein“
