My favorite place in Pismo! I enjoyed my first visit so much that I came back twice! Good beer, lots of sports channels, and I made a few friends. The bartenders were awesome. They were quick to serve and kept up with the crowd. The bar has a neighborhood bar feel. It's not touristy but is probably for tourists. It's so close to the beach you can probably go back and forth pretty easy. Go check them out!

My husband and I stopped here on our way back from Big Sur. It looked like a super cool place that allowed dogs. The owner Steven opened up and immediately welcomed our pups (and us). Steven is super chill and really fun to chat with, and we had such a great time we decided to stick around Pismo Beach for the night. We spent most of the day and night at The Boardroom playing darts, making friends, and having a total blast. The beer is delicious and most patrons are there to kick back and have a good time. People of all ages seemed at ease and it was clear how beloved Steven was in town. Thanks for teaching me how to stop throwing darts "like a sissy dinosaur" haha! We will 10000% be going to Pismo again so we can go to this bar!

My husband and I stopped in today to check the place out. Their beer selection is fantastic and the bartender was helpful and friendly. You can definitely cozy up and watch a game here as well. I don't drink much anymore so I had a Diet Coke. Wish they had at least one non alcohol beer. We would have spent more money. Food menu looks delicious and the owners seemed friendly. Definitely a spot we will come back to when we are in town! Dog friendly and clean bathrooms are also a big plus for those wondering!

Justin was awesome, very informative, and friendly. Definitely would recommend. I had the patty melt and dark beer. Great selection of drinks and food.
Every year when we visit we always go here. The owner is a great guy and I like his attitude. People are friendly here

Great environment. Definitely a locals bar. One of the few bars who showed the football game so that was a plus. Steve the bartender/server/ etc was great. He was a one man show and never wrote anything down lol. I had the boardroom burger with a salad which were both great. I wish they had fries on the menu but aside from that everything was great. Would recommend and return again.

All i can say is the owner, Steve, is one unique individual. But clearly my sarcastic, snarky,facetious brother from another mother. If you have any doubt, read his replies to some of his Yelp critics. This is a locals bar. If you expected to get the exalted treatment of a visiting king or queen from tourist land, you will quickly get your come uppance with a pleasant, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!" It was our first visit to Steve's domain. There is a casual atmosphere which includes many of man's best friends. The beer selection is not huge but is a very select group that are either local brewers or otherwise hard to find taps. There is also a selection of good wines and ciders and seltzer. Steve's business partner mans the kitchen. This is a bar, not a Michelin wanna be, so expect some good bar grub. We had chicken strips followed by a flat bread pizza. They paired well with a frosty beer while watching college football on one of a half dozen TV's. But forget the beer & pizza. Just being in Steve's company was pure entertainment. No wonder people keep coming back for more.

Decent bar near the Pier. The other bar was too packed and not much choices that open late at night.

I don’t recommend this place for someone foreign or foreign to Pismo beach. The bartender who has a black cap, somewhat of having long hair, blonde, and average height was super rude and judgmental right away, very confrontational and didn’t hesitate to show it. Its not good for tourism or business as are staying right next to this bar, at Vespera. I will never ever come back, and I will make sure every single social media channel hears about my experience.
