“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*“
“The food was very good; fresh and perfectly prepared. They have an outstanding collection of taquilla. The service was also excellent, both friendly and attentive. We had a very good time in pleasant surroundings with a casual and friendly vibe.“
“We went back a second time. This time I ordered the Mediterranean Burrito because I wanted to try something new and I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I did that. As it turns out, it was equally as delicious as the Caribbean Burrito. I'd also like to point out that they are very accommodating about omitting or replacing ingredients in order to make things vegan and/or vegetarian.“
“This place is what it is and what it is is a trip. I went here because a buddy of mine was doing a comedy show here a few years back. During the show a Black woman started heckling him out of nowhere shouting, "It's ok, you can call me the N-word," which had literally nothing to do with his act. She was sitting at a table with two Asian women in very provocative clothing who were much younger than her. Having observed their behavior it became pretty clear they were prostitutes, maybe being human trafficked by the Black woman, who appeared to be their pimp/owner. Anyway, I guess this is what you can expect from a rural gambling joint named Outlaws. If you're into that sort of thing, this is probably the place for you.“
“Cool vibe, great service, and awesome music. Good range of local beer, wine, and cider. Light snacks available too. The owners were mixing records while we were there and told us that Thursdays are "bring your own record" days. If you come early, they might even be able to teach out to spin on our own. Perfect addition to SLO: great for a date spot or casual night out.“
“One of the coolest bars I’ve been to. Amazing vibes all around, fast and friendly customer service. Lots of free games, chess, board games and more. Also the pool table is free, and in great condition. The bartender plays vinyl, which was a nice surprise. The decor is amazing! Best yet, they have a great drink selection.“
“Nice ambiance with the beautiful wooden bar, copper tables and fireplace. We enjoyed our server: she was friendly and fun! She helped us decide on 1/2 order of the bacon and jalapeño Mac and cheese (delicious and verrry filling) and nachos (good) to share.“
“Alex and the rest of the staff was incredibly kind and the drinks were more than reasonably priced. Loved this place so much we came back twice even during the rain. The drinks are delicious and it offers a different view of SLO. Could not recommend this place enough. We will be back.“
“Had a fantastic experience here last night. The starter, steak bites, was outstanding. Our party ordered a cross section of the menu, and every item was delicious. We finished off with out-of--this-world cheesecake and coconut pastry. All of this goodness and, honestly, the service was impecable. My newest favorite eatery in San Luis Obispo!!!“
“I was pleasantly surprised to find a cider brewery. Stopped by with my dog and was able to sit on the patio. The ciders weren't what I was expecting as I tend to like fruity ones like pear and raspberry, and you won't find them here. Overall it was a nice stop on the way home. Got a 5 flavor flight for just $15.“
“Stopped in after work after hearing about it, and am happy I did. Their beer selection includes several locally brewed beers and ciders. Each of the beverages I ordered was at the tight temp and tasted fresh. They have bottled beverages as well. Although the menu is only one page, there are options for everyone in your party. I had the double burger that included grilled onions and my choice of cheese. Along with the burger was a delicious homemade macaroni salad. The owner shared that all their side salads are madd in house. I also ordered the chicken wings. The wings were cooked then tossed in an aromatic combination of herbs, and came with traditional Buffalo sauce and Ranch. Along with the food there are plenty of tvs for the games, a digital jukebox, and 3 pool tables. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings.“

“We stopped by to try the place out for dinner service and ended up getting a few mocktails (purple emperor and island vibes) and appetizers (bruschetta and pork belly) with a tiramisu to finish things off. Immediately we felt very welcomed by the staff, and were seated promptly. Our server Desi was very attentive and had great recommendations, she really made us feel safe trying something new. The pork belly had such a nice texture and the mocktails all felt very unique as well, we will definitely be back for a full course.“
“The first place I go when I get to SLO and the last place for a beer before I leave. Classic locals pub. A little dark, a little dingy; filled with people who love each other. I always play shuffleboard at least once every time I visit. Great place for the Super Bowl, by the way...“
“Visiting from out of town, and serendipitously found my way to this lovely spot. Classic pub styling. An impressive selection of whiskey. The two pool tables stayed busy all night - if one wanted to shoot a few racks, games were available to be had. The jukebox was bumping until bar time, and featured a nicely varied selection.Crystal was a stellar bartender - a healthy dose of sass, and just enough sweet to make the new guy feel welcome. Engaging, jovial, attentive, prompt, and smooth in making her rounds - seemingly effortless, at times. Makes a mean old fashioned. ??“
“8/28: Celebrated my birthday here. Ordered the BBQ Chicken, was served a half chicken. A bit messy for the cloth napkins. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was pretty in pink. Barbie would be comfortable here. Best part the signature Pink Cloud cocktail and Pink Champagne cake!“
“Oh let me just tell you this, cutest, coziest, classiest bar you can go in SLO.We stayed at Granda and thats how we got to know about this place! Their Cocktails are not the usual ones you get everywhere else. I am typical straight with ice girl but this place's Mezcal cocktail was one of a kind! We ordered albacore dish and Olives for appetizers. The sauce of albacore was sweet, sour and spicy!Something that I can eat for every meal! This place should be the MUST on your list!“
“I had a great time at 15 degrees C in SLO. I met a friend there and we had a nice charcuterie board and some great sparking rose! The atmosphere is upscale but warm. They have many choices of wine available for taste and to buy by the bottle. I was shocked that we were the only ones there for 2 hours, I do realize it was a Thurs. at lunch time. I would love to return again in the evening, they have a cozy fireplace inside and some outdoor seating with fire pits as well.“
“Taylor and Kevin were so so awesome and so kind and accommodating to me and my friends. There are so many bars in the town of slo (currently visiting), but they were so welcoming that I will definitely be back anytime I’m in town because of “
“Met family here and sat on the patio for dinner. Great menu... Tons of options. Always love fresh chips and good salsa... They kept us filled! Hubby had a combination plate with beans & rice, tamale, taco, and enchilada. I had a taco salad with chicken. Both were very good, seasoned well, and perfectly cooked. The house margaritas are so good!! I had mine frozen, they also have on the rocks and with or without salt. Perfect blend of lime. The ahi salad our family ordered was beautiful... Perfectly grilled ahi, yummy greens and veggies. We really liked everything and will be back when visiting the area from Phoenix!Dietary restrictions: Many options with symbols to make ordering easier for those with special diet requirements.Parking: Plenty of spots and handicapped accessible.“
“We loved this place so so much! Fantastic food, atmosphere, delicious margaritas and live music! Just what we needed after a 40+ mile Spartan race weekend and the staff did so wonderful dealing with all the extra people in town. Will come back any time we’re back to Santa Margarita! :)“
