Let us start off with Chloe our waitress. Greatest waitress ever, so knowledgeable and friendly and attentive. We were never without water or a drink. The food is to die for. The best calamari you will ever have the foodie pleasure of eating. The prime rib Chile is hearty and just the perfect balance of spice. The Crispy Brussel sprouts are truly one of the best we have had. Delicious drinks, the danger zone slushy is the best and the beer selection is great. A must try place if you are ever in Paso Robles. read more

Ordered take out. Salmon was fine but the veg was sitting in a puddle of grease. We also ordered a chicken sandwich, the chicken was pounded out to be 2-3mm thick and fried until completely dried out and inedible. Maybe stick to the kitschy Irish food as it matches the rest of it. read more

As other reviews have mentioned, the burgers are greasy/heavy with lots of garlic aioli sauce and grilled onions--but the waygu burgers are huge and the meat is excellent and so it is a decadent treat as long as you expect it. Maybe order one burger for two persons. The drinks are fantastic including the coffee whiskey. Service is excellent. For a pub on Saturday night, it was not too loud until a group came in to drink at about 9pm. The atmosphere is cozy and cute in the typical Irish pub motif. read more

Disgusting . Didn't ID anyone in the bar. The Bartender then asked our friend, the only black person in the group, for his id. When he showed his ID the bartender claimed it was fake. Even though he was 30 and it was real. We asked for the manager who looked at him and said "I dare you to call the police and see if they're on your side"... the manager then shoved my friends girlfriend back and pulled the high noon out of her hand, cutting her thumb with the top of the can as he did so. I've never been physically attacked or had to call the police before when having lunch. read more

** BEWARE ** DANGEROUS ** DO NOT ENTER YOU WILL GET ROBBED BY THE STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a bar owner and I rarely leave reviews like this because I know what it can do to a business but I also think customers should know what they are getting into. This was a SAD EXCUSE of a bar. How they are still open is SHOCKING and I feel bad for the owner who probably doesn't know their staff are THIEVES. I forgot my credit card there and they REFUSED to give my card back MULTIPLE times claiming they didn't have it when I knew for a fact I left it there. They wouldn't give it back till my husband called out the bartender. WOW.... Surprise! The bar tender magically found the credit card in his pocket. Aside from being thieves before any of this happened, the service was POOR. NEGATIVE F RATING!! Nobody knows how to make a proper cocktail. The bartender couldn't even "chill" a drink. Nobody can keep up with the pace the service should be. The bar was practically empty and it takes 30 minutes just to order a drink. 30 more minutes to receive the drink. 1 hour till I receive a drink from the time I sat down. That's purely pathetic. One of my bar tenders can pump out TEN DRINKS in under two minutes. Either hire new staff or do everyone a favor and close. What a waste of time and money for a LAME bar. Also, the bartender with the cheers tattoo is rude, dishonest and the THEIF. HE SHOULD NO LONGER BE EMPLOYED and if you're the owner reading this, shame on you. Your bar has SO MUCH POTENTIAL but it's RUINED by rude, incompetent employees who don't know how to work in a restaurant. I would give ZERO stars but it's forcing me to give at least one. Also their "ambiance" is ants ALL OVER the bar counter and the staff laughing about it when I let them know. Will you still be laughing when the health inspector comes? You probably have rats in the kitchen with that attitude! Do better! Filing a police report, a report to the better business burrow and health inspector. Sad. read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday night to enjoy some drinks and some dancing. There was no cover charge. Bouncer was nice. The reason I'm giving this place three stars is because this place was overcrowded and every time we went to the bar to order drinks we would wait a looong time. A few times the bartender served other people who had just walked up to the bar instead of people who had been waiting for a few minutes. This happened to us more than once and at the end we decided to just stick to water from their corner bar (self serve water) Our party of 10 would have spent more money if there was a better system or more bartenders to help. Maybe next time we're in town we'll have a better experience. read more

It was not what we were expecting at all. Fried Chicken Sandwich - $20 - The sandwich looked good, but it was dry.

Pappy McGregors never fails! They are the only ones who've kept their tarter sauce & blue cheese recipes the same over the years. (it seems as if everywhere else has stopped making in house recipes & changed to the tangy, too sweet, synthetic, bottled stuff. Their outdoor patio is remodeled & the heaters made it toasty & comfortable. The service was excellent. My. Daughter ordered the lobster Mac & cheese & her husband ordered this delicious looking burger that he said was excellent. My husband & I usually order what we want & he gives me half of his & I give him half of mine. I asked him what he thought of the fish & chips. He said he thought the fish was a little dry. But the fries were stellar! I thought the same. It was a little disappointing because everything is usually excellent. I should have order the calamari! It's always great. read more

Initial impression was at the atmosphere is very lively, and the place was nearly packed even though 1030 at night on Thursday. Service was quick and responsive they found a table quickly took our orders and all food arrived very promptly and at appropriate temperature. Selection of food was good as was the selection of cocktails and local beers. Had a delicious burger and fries and a testy local beer. Cocktails were also excellent!

3 stars because.... ....horrible communication, mediocre food. Guy at the bar on 12/14 super rude regarding us coming up to the bar to request food because our waitress was slower than ever. Host said our party couldn't order food at all (she was misinformed I take it...?) and we believed that until half our party started getting food sent and said, "we had to go to the bar to order because we can't find our waitress" so that lead us to get scolded by that bartender. "It's overwhelming to have orders through the bar, have a seat, your waitress will assist you." Almost an hour into our visit I waved her down. I'll respect her and keep the conversation we had private. I just really appreciated her honesty on how the place is ran so that's why 3 stars. The other reason 3 stars instead of none is because you served a table of 15 ppl in service industry. We would like you to know that we do completely understand. We respect how hard it is to survive hospitality nowadays. Everyone is short staffed and it's hard. But, 3 stars only due to the snappy guy at the bar, the food could have been better, service was painfully slow and for that, we will try other places before we return back. But eventually, we will try again. Hopefully it'll have its gem knack back. read more

In town for our anniversary an decided to come in for a glass of wine and an appetizer. It was blazing hot outside. When I pushed the brass plate on the door it was super duper hot. We told them about it. They told us it must be the sun. We got the table in the corner next to the window next to the door. We were greeted very promptly by our server Lindsay. She was friendly and efficient. We ordered the Happy Hour Tater Tots. Oh my gosh!! These things are AWESOME! They're Tater tots with Pepper Jack Cheese sauce and crumbled bacon sprinkled on top. It may sound funny but this is one of my favorite appetizers - EVER. We enjoyed a bottle of Justin Sauvignon Blanc with our Tater Tots. Service was Great. Food was Great. Great Place. In fact we liked it so much we came back the next day and had The Wedge Salad and some more Tots. A couple of others had the same issue with the door and it was somewhat humorous to see their reaction to the hot brass plate. And you could tell who the regulars were. They didn't touch the plate. Great Place - But you NEED to do something about that HOT DOOR plate. read more

Love this place. It was recommended by a colleague during my visit and it was an Irish pub hit. Smaller than expected, but perfect seating at the bar for us. There's plenty of parking right in front too. We enjoyed some beer, cocktails, and food. Their garlic fries are to die for. Garlic fans, they put so much real and raw garlic in there. I really wanted to try their calamari, but wasn't hungry enough so next time. Portions are big so they def match the price of the food. Meatloaf and wings also were large portions and looked excellent. I can't wait to go back. Shutout to the bar back. He was super thoughtful and a great conversationist.

Have no idea how good food and drinks are because we never got a chance to order. 102 degrees outside and because we had a dog were seated on the outdoor patio. (totally understand that, and not at all an issue) Had a large evaporative cooler that would have been great if the water pump actually worked. No water running through the pads so the air was somewhat like a blast furnace. Waited 10 minutes for water, server never showed. Saw her come out to serve the only other party on the patio and didn't even acknowledge our existence. Waited another 10 minutes and left.

The Clam Chowder is the best I've had. On the other hand the steak and mushrooms is the worst I've had. When you see steak and mushrooms you would think it's a steak and mushrooms meal not a freaking soup. Specially when they ask you how you want your steak. Plus why would they give me a steak knife and a fork to eat your SOUP. Worsted service when it takes the server over 20 minutes to bring you a spoon to eat you Steak and Mushrooms. The only reason that they are getting 4 stars is cause the clam chowder is really really good and the atmosphere is calm and pleasant. read more

This was a great little Irish Pub on the square in Paso Robles. We went here right before leaving the Central Coast and heading back to the Valley (Fresno), because they have an amazing Burger with fig jam, spicy arugula, and an amazing cheese gruyere or something like that. This place is also quite a trip to hang out in. There are a number of regulars that are fun and crazy. The Decor is traditional pub and quite fun. And the waitresses are not too hard to look at if you know what I mean, either. Anyway, go in and belly up to the bar, grab a pint or an Irish whisky, and enjoy that burger. It was amazing. And those garlic fries - YUM! Oh hey, and wink at the cute reddish-brown haired waitress for me too - you'll know which one I'm talking about - I promise! read more

The ambiance is dark but fitting--dare I say, even sexy. Who doesn't like a little sexy? The wine selection is always excellent and served wonderfully by the staff. Andrea (short, yet incredibly vivacious) greeted us with a smile and complete professionalism. For someone that short, you might expect the vibe of an older sister teasing you and your buddies for being idiots--but she was anything but that. Having a place in town where you can go on a random date night--cover charge or not (get over it, people, the cover isn't that much)--is fantastic to have as an option. It's Paso, folks. There's only so much we can do here, and what Libretto and their staff are doing is hospitality first. Sadly, that's become a bit of a lost art in our town. But the people here are nothing like the heathen hostesses elsewhere who claw the menus with their freshly pressed gels while seating you at the worst table, all whilst saying "thank yeeewww." Thanks, Libretto, for doing better and for having such a wonderful team to host our evenings out.

This restaurant came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. When we arrived, the setting was lovely, and we were warmly welcomed by Michelle. She was gracious, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the personalized place card waiting for us with our reservation. At first, my wife and her friend were a bit unsure as they reviewed the menu, as they didn't immediately see options that appealed to them. However, that quickly changed. Our friend ordered the asparagus salad and croquettes, while my wife chose the rosemary garlic grilled prawns and roasted heirloom carrots. Both dishes completely exceeded expectations--they were blown away by how flavorful and well-prepared everything was. Over the course of our trip, we visited many wineries and enjoyed several excellent meals throughout the Central Coast. Yet by the end of it, both my wife and her friend agreed that this dinner stood out as the most memorable--truly the highlight among many great experiences. Thank you for starting our trip on such a high note.

I especially want to recognize the young woman working the Starbucks/food service counter in the lobby during our visit. She was the only employee handling the entire operation and somehow still managed to provide friendly, professional, 5-star service while nonstop guests continued ordering food and drinks for hours. She never stopped hustling and kept everything moving with a great attitude. Honestly, the fact that one person was left to run the entire cafe by herself feels like a management staffing issue, not an employee issue. Management should make sure the cafe is properly staffed, and if someone calls in sick or doesn't show up, leadership should step in to help rather than leaving one employee to carry the entire workload alone. That said, our cafe experience remained positive largely because of her work ethic and professionalism. She deserves recognition for holding it all together and taking care of guests under what looked like a very stressful situation. I only wish I had gotten her name.

It was extremely loud every time someone would get off the elevator. Our room was also on the back of the building by the highway and the road got pretty loud. Luckily I had my sound machine which helped a little but it was still pretty loud. The room itself was clean but they only gave 3 towels for a room with 2 beds. I feel like 4 should be the minimum. The beds were also so hard and the pillows were not good. We did not sleep well. They have a nice big open lobby and a bistro that we didn't go to. They have water in the lobby but it tasted weird. Parking is confusing because the front desk never asked if I had a car. She gave me a parking pass in the stack of check in stuff but I didn't notice it. The next morning I got a notice on my windshield that I didn't check in my car. When I went to talk to her about it she said she would take care of it. I still don't understand if parking is free, or not. I saw QR codes outside on signs to pay for parking.

Street Side Ale House & Eatery

Fun atmosphere and good food!…read more Stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for the night. The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning out tongues on the lava like cheese. Worth it!

November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.

Since it's more of boutique, the bottles are quite pricey, mostly ranging near the 100s. But it was our favorite the whole weekend we went there. And we bought 6 bottles. We loved the spell and got 3 bottles of that! It's a Syrah cab blend. Has the Paso flavor that we love. It's not a vineyard, just a tasting room but worth a visit. We met the wine maker too. Friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to pop open a bottle at home soon!

From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's passion project. The intimacy of the setting made it special right away--small group, shared experience, and a level of attention you just don't get in a traditional dining environment. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, it delivered. The food was the clear star--clean, intentional, and incredibly well-executed. Every dish felt like it had a purpose. The steak and mushrooms were a standout, and dessert was right there with it. The wine pairings introduced us to bottles we wouldn't normally find or order ourselves, which added to the experience. If anything, I would've loved even more storytelling around the pairings--how and why each wine was chosen to complement the dish--but that's a small note in an otherwise incredible night. What really elevated the evening was the host's passion. You can feel it in how the food is prepared, how the evening flows, and how guests are brought into the experience. It's not just dinner--it's connection, storytelling, and craftsmanship all rolled into one. If you're looking for something beyond a typical night out--something more curated, more personal--this is absolutely worth it. A memorable night all around.
