    Nachos and IPA
    Scott G.

    I actually loved this place, mainly because I was hungry and it was the only brewery of the 3 which had food. The IPA was good and the premium nachos with triple tip were awesome. I usually don't like orange cheese sauce but it was surprisingly good. Outdoor dog friendly too. Service was ok.

    The food is good, beers are great, and the people are awesome!!!! Clean restaurant. The atmosphere is cool/chill.

    Tucked in a small industrial area, you'll find the most delicious beer with the best Parmesan Garlic Fries! Mellow spot on a Saturday night, no complaints here. I ordered the Black lager aka General Schwartz and the fries were delicious with the beer! Great service and would definitely stop by again.

    While typically not a big fan of brewery's -more of a Tavern dive bar guy- I truly enjoyed Central Coast Brewery. George the owner is a class act and really enjoyed and appreciates his customers. I felt like I knew him forever after a few minutes. His staff was responsive and cheerful and really made this old fart and his wife feel appreciated. I don't get into SLO often leaving it to the Polly students but I will come back to visit George and staff. Thank you for the excellent Cerventas (sp) beer. Not sure if this is a warning or a promise but I will be back. Go Poly Rugby!!

    CCB is the place! Great beer and food! Very clean and staff are friendly. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The beer selection is huge and always rotating new styles of beer. 10/10 all around. Solid SLO brewery!

    The atmosphere here is so relaxed. It's got a gothy vibe but also super chill. I didn't have anything to drink because I like a really sweet cider. But my family got beers and loved them. Even taking some to go. I brought my dog who can be a bit yappy and they were so nice to him even though he's annoying . Lots of dogs here.

    Really fun beers- get a flight! Came on a weekday at a weird time, and though it was empty it was still quite fun.

    I was in town for a race, by the time I was done in the afternoon I was in the mood for a beer but I was also starving and needed some real food. Thankfully this location for Central Coast Brewing has both. The bbq bacon burger and fries really hit the spot, I saw someone else with a really good looking pizza, I was so focused on getting a burger I didn't even realize they had pizza. They've got some pretty good beers too, the El Hefe was one of the best Hefs I've had in a while and their Golden Glow blonde was a perfect thirst quencher after a long morning of running. The restaurant/brewery itself is pretty big too. Outdoor seating in the front and back, some big tables inside that hold a groups of 8-10 people. And arcade room near the back outdoor seating area. Overall this is an excellent restaurant/craft beer brewery combo.

    Such a fun place to hangout! I used to go to the smaller CCB which I still love, but this larger spot is great for big groups. There are different seating areas and the beer and food selection is great, I also love that there is an arcade room. I've come here for celebrations, after work outings, or just a quiet Sunday afternoon and it's always fun! It's located away from downtown on a quieter part of Higuera street so there is an actual parking lot.

    clean long bar to sit at with various tv's on

    This was our last stop of the day before we checked into our hotel and it was a great experience. Plenty of space, nice staff, we got a taster of various beers that were all good, we wound up taking some growlers home with us. It seemed cool with the families to bring their kids if they wanted, they had games and an outdoor area to chill at. The TV's in the bar were all showing various channels for anyone who was there, which is nice, instead of only have two that are usually just sports. We had a great experience here. Even the wooden block they brought our beers on was cool. We would totally come here all the time if we lived closer.

    We came here on a mid Saturday afternoon and it was somewhat busy. Short line to get beers. We were able to try a few splashes before we settled on beers. They have a lot of good beers here. The peanut butter breakdown, El hefe, juice alright, pulpin ain't easy, and Mexican fruit salad were all good. Very big brewery. Both indoor and outdoor seating. There's also indoor fooseball table, hockey table, and etc. You just need to leave your ID with the staff to get the Balls or pucks. Parking lot for parking

    This is what $22 gets you here.....

    $22 dollars for 1 beer and 1 VERY small rose and I didn't even get a Thank you. Nice work guys.

    Great selection of home brewed micro beers. Their food is ok, but the beer is the reason to come for a tasty brew.

We arrived at 6:30 pm, which was a good time since the food and drink lines grew from 6:50 pm onwards. I recommend heading out 10 minutes early in case you get lost. Our rideshare drove past the alleyway entrance twice lol. They didn't see the small printed sign for Bang The Drum Brewery on the metal fence. Go down the alley and turn left, following the signs for Bang the Drum at Suite 160 (not 130). Then, walk up the ramp towards the foresty tree area; there will be another sign for the brewery. We saw an outdoor patio and several indoor tables with names printed on them for trivia night. No one checked our tickets, but the staff we interacted with were nice. Walk-ins for trivia night can claim any unmarked table. Luckily, our table was far back so I didn't need to use my ear plugs. It would have been too loud for me if we were next to the speakers. I enjoyed the event and didn't have problems with the logistics. My only complaint would be that questions were much harder than I thought. Many references were geared towards the older millennial generation. DRINKS ORDERED - Pinot Noir ($12 - Stephen Ross). It was good. Normally I don't like dry wines, but I appreciated the light body without tannins. The wine had dark cherry notes. - Rose ($10). It was just okay; I preferred the pinot over this. - Kelsey Blood Orange Cider ($9). It had a good balance of fruit and bitterness with a savory taste. The cider was dryer than I expected, but I enjoyed it more than the other one. - Kelsey Pineapple Cider ($9). It was just ok. I didn't taste the pineapple, but it was slightly sweeter than the blood orange. My bf seemed to enjoy his Lucky Day IPA ($8) and also went for the pinot. FOOD ORDERED - Soft Pretzel with Beer Cheese ($6.50). Chewy pretzel with a dark crust and big sprinkles of salt (but not too salty). The beer cheese tasted great; we ate it all up! - Spicy Veggie Curry Pot Pie ($10). The pie was ultra flaky and soft. I enjoyed the mild curry filling inside. Delicious! DESSERT ORDERED - Blueberry Mascarpone Pie ($5.50). It tasted alright. The blueberries were not so flavorful, and neither was the mascarpone cheese. There was too much moisture in the filling. While parts of the crust managed to stay crumbly, it also lacked flavor.

    I had the Spicy Curry Vegetable pot pie. It is by far the best pot pie I have ever eaten. The crust…read moreis flaky and phenomenal. We will definitely be returning, and they let our dog join us.

I don't know if it was because of the soccer game or if it's always this busy, but that's usually a good sign. Even with the crowd, our party of six was seated almost immediately. The menu was excellent--not one of those places with ten pages of random items. It was well thought out and made it easy to choose. My wife and I both ordered the jalapeño burger (I can't remember the official name) with a side of tater tots. My son ordered the tuna, my daughter had the chicken tenders, and my nephew and niece both went with the barbecue burger. The food came out surprisingly fast, and then it was time to eat. Wow. This was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife would not stop talking about hers. Her exact words were, "This burger tastes beefy." I'm still not exactly sure what that means, but judging by how fast she finished it, I'd say she absolutely loved it. To top it all off, our amazing waitress surprised my wife with a complimentary cookie sundae for her birthday. I really wish I had caught her name. She had curly hair and glasses, and she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I was not impressed with their margarita flight but who cares, it was about the food. If you're looking for an incredible burger, great service, and a fun atmosphere in San Luis Obispo, Finney's Crafthouse is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town.

All three different items we ordered were a bit bland and we had to rely on condiments to add some flavor. The draft beers were what you would expect nothing special to note, but nothing negative to say either. The service was good, and I appreciated that the gentleman suggested getting a combo. He could've easily said nothing and let us overpay for items that qualified for combo pricing. The pool tables were fun, but unfortunately one of them (the one nearest the window) was not functioning properly, which was disappointing. Overall, with a little improvement such as better seasoning on the food and repairing the billiards table this place would earn five stars. This was not my first time here, and I've had a better experience in the past, but I will still give it another shot next time I'm in town since it has a chill vibe and I know it's been better in the past. Sometime it's just one of those days so maybe that's all that happened on that particular visit.
