Ancient Owl Beer Garden & Bottle Shoppe

Went for the trivia and had a blast! I enjoyed the hard kombucha, the atmosphere is fun, and the staff are all friendly

Great spot for the family. Servers are always friendly, a lot of options for good beer, and they often have food trucks on the weekends.

The staff are always friendly, they have a large selection of drinks, and it's a fun atmosphere! Check it out if you're looking for a great place to relax, enjoy a beer/seltzer, and hang with some friends in SLO.

They have awesome ciders as well as a wide variety of beers. They bring in food trucksfor food eats. La Parrilla was here this evening …with their homemade salsas …Yum!!

I was excited to invite three friends and their families, including children, to watch the Super Bowl at Ancient Owl Beer Garden. I chose this location specifically because I often see families and kids there and believed it would be a welcoming environment. Unfortunately, our experience was negatively impacted by the behavior of the male bartender working on Super Bowl Sunday. He rudely addressed our children. Later, his body language and facial expressions clearly showed discomfort and intolerance toward our kids, a table where the kids had toys so they could play peacefully while the adults enjoyed their beer. His overall attitude felt unwelcoming and unfriendly. We felt uncomfortable and disrespected throughout our visit. I will not return to or recommend a place.

If you consider beer food than that's a 5⭐ as well. My only complaint is there's nothing to dry my hands on in the restroom which is admittedly a pretty small thing to be bitching about.

Fun place. Nice to have them in my neighborhood. Huge beer selection on tap. Maybe a couple ciders, a seltzer or hard Kombucha. Beer fridge for sealed to go purchase. Casual scene: families, dogs, food trucks. Also in an area where another brewery, ciderhouse and two wine tasting spots are within 500 feet.

They hosted a drinking relay race for St patricks had people run thru my neighborhood. A person lacrosse tackled me, cursed me out and kept running. I quit drinking four years ago. Can't accept that. Live in connect building. It's on camera just not well enough.

Big fan of Ancient Owl, especially when they have live music! Live music + great beer selection + dog friendly = my perfect Friday night.

Great place to hang out. They don't serve food but there's usually a food truck of some sort around.

Great beer and great service! Food would be great but with the food trucks (when available) it’s a win win. They let you bring your own snacks thought, that’s a plus! Love the outdoor seating that’s available and bar height tables and chairs are the vibes! Dog friendly and family friendly.
