9 Best Brewpubs near San Luis Obispo

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

“First time to the area and I stopped at 3 different Breweries in 3 day. This one was by far my favorite. Very relaxing atmosphere and staff was experienced and informative on their beers. Had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich (on special, not always one the menu). It was fantastic and needs to be a permanent resident on the menu.“

“Good food and great beer.“

“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.“

“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“

“Locals is a perfect name for this local gem!

The owners have created an atmosphere that is open and inviting. You can expect good music (there's always some vinyl spinning), good conversation, and a great selection of beer, wine, cider, seltzer, and even non-alcoholic options. It's a great spot to catch the game.

While there are some pre-packaged snacks available for purchase there is no kitchen so outside food is welcome. Seating includes bar seating, high tops, and covered outdoor seating.

I highly recommend giving this spot a try!“

“great micro brews delicious food, and warm company. if you are rolling past Pismo or spending time in the area, highly recommend spending some time here.“

“I just had to share about this fantastic place I stumbled upon recently – it’s truly a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the incredibly welcoming vibe; it’s got this wonderfully relaxed atmosphere that just makes you want to settle in.

The team working there was absolutely delightful too – so warm and genuinely friendly, they really made the whole experience even better. And let’s talk about their beer menu! They have such an impressive and diverse selection, you’re bound to find something you love.

But seriously, if you go, you absolutely must try their soft pretzels. They’re ridiculously good! And trust me on this: grab a Roadster Red to go with them, especially if it’s a sunny day. That combo is pure perfection – honestly, it was the highlight of my afternoon.“
