We came to Street Side Ale House to watch the World Cup Final and arrived about 15 minutes after opening. The place was already packed, but Kelly absolutely crushed it. She somehow managed the bar, table service, and kept everyone feeling taken care of despite the nonstop rush. She stayed friendly, organized, and efficient from start to finish, even as the crowd continued to grow. It would have been easy for service to fall apart under that kind of pressure, but Kelly handled everything like a true professional. Excellent service can make or break an experience, and Kelly made ours. If you're lucky enough to have her as your server or bartender, you're in great hands! read more

We were in town for the night and looking for late dinner and drinks and this was one of few options downtown (they are open until midnight on Friday & Saturday). We had the bone-in bbq wings and the cranberry chicken salad. There were 8 wings in the order. They were meaty and dressed with the right amount of sauce and worked perfect as a light meal. The cranberry chicken salad had a generous amount of chopped chicken and with the mixed greens, candied pecans and dried cranberries was a great balance of flavor and texture. The pacing of service was good. There were the right amount of people dining and drinking at the bar and tables to give the spot a good energy. The only downside was that they only serve wine by the glass. We would have brought our own bottle and paid the $15 corkage if we had known. Other than that, it was a great late night choice for dining and drinks. read more

They have the yummiest little shrimp tacos :)) they are my favorite dish. Both restaurants in Paso Robles as well Atascadero have such an amazing staff and environment, very clean and friendly. Staff is very friendly, very welcoming and knowledgeable about their items. Definitely a good spot to come to eat as a big group. Bathrooms are clean and so are tables and chairs. Both locations have a bar sitting , as well sitting outside or inside. Both are in the center of their towns super close to everything and parks. Come check them out and give them a try !! I recommend!! read more

If you are looking for a great place with a lively ambiance, delicious food, and a large drink selection, this is your place. I stopped in with a group and we all had a great time. There are a lot of shareable items and entrees. I especially loved the snapper tacos and the Mac and cheese. I'd definitely stop in again when I am in the area. The service was great too. read more

November 2025 Since I 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. read more

We cam here a few minutes before kitchen closes and our server was nice and let us decide on what we want quickly. I ordered the Impossible burger with fries.. and it did not disappoint! The burger came with a vegan thousand island spread but i did not try it and it was still very tasty! I wish they will change that vegan spread into like a bbq type flavor.. The fries were amazing! Our server was very nice and pleasant. Will def come back! read more

After living here for years, I'm surprised it took us this long to stop here. We sat at the bar, service was fast besides when it came to getting our bill. The seating was comfortable, there were plenty of TVs with great views, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Our bartender was friendly and gave us great recommendations. I had the tomato soup, and my husband ordered the cuban I think? both were fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. The only downside was the raspberry lemon drop, which wasn't our favorite. Go to Buena Tavola for that. Next time, we'll stick with one of their beers on tap. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fun atmosphere and good food! 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 our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it! read more

This place was pretty cool! Was looking for a spot to wet the whistle and this came up as a suggestion. I walked around to a couple other places but decided this place was more of my vibe, and I'm glad I did! Got seated pretty quickly. The service was top notch. The drinks were interesting, in a good way! And I got their mac'n cheese to go. That was pretty dang good! I saw some of the food other patrons were wording and it looked phenomenal! Definitely recommend! read more

Needed a pick me up between wine tastings so we decided to stop in for some espresso tini's - while they didn't have an actual espresso martini on the menu, the bartender was happy to make us a version of one with cold brew. The drink was good and was exactly what we needed to continue on for our day! We sat at the bar and received friendly service from the bartenders. They checked in frequently and made sure we had what we needed. read more

Oh my word. I know you can go so wrong with a lamb burger... But these guys did it SO right. Truly, one of the best burgers I've ever had... I love that they had a gluten-free bun, but it was so filling that I probably should've just gotten it protein style so I could finish the whole thing, including my delicious sweet potato fries! I'm a very picky patron, as I prefer to cook my own food. It's so incredibly hard for me to enjoy a meal out,... And this one did not disappoint! I would absolutely come back here over and over. read more

We stopped by StreetSide craving something quick, tasty, and satisfying -- and it totally hit the spot! What first caught our eye were the street-style fries, loaded with a creamy mayo-cheese base, Parmesan, bits of bacon, pepperoncini, and a sprig of rosemary on top. Such a flavorful combo -- delicious! We also tried the sliders, and I swapped out the usual blue cheese and balsamic for cheddar/maybe jack -- excellent choice. The sliders were juicy, well-seasoned, and perfectly sized. Overall, great place for a quick bite that feels elevated, with flavors that surprise you in the best way. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby( at least get few beers and sliders). Staff is very friendly and a decent beer selection read more

I really enjoyed this spot! There are a lot of American/breweries in this area but I'm glad we came here. The service was really kind and helpful with our original seating issues and re-seated us with no problem. The food had large amounts and all were great! My only rec for the tacos is to make them double-tortillas, it was really messy and flimsy with one tortilla each. Otherwise, was great and casual, would go back! read more

We stopped at this place since they had various tv screens around the room showing World Cup matches. We ordered a chicken salad, avocado bacon cheeseburger, buffalo wings, and kids cheeseburger. The food was good and it came out promptly. Get a side of buffalo sauce for the burgers and ask for the salad dressing on the side. The people working there were friendly and attentive. I am giving 5 starts for the employees and the establishment. The bathroom was clean and took a bit of walking to get to. read more

My partner and I discovered Street Side Ale House at Firestone Invitational three years ago when they were serving up their street mac and cheese. Every year, we talked about going later that night because if a small sample was SO good, their regular food must be amazing...but it never happened. Well, this was the year. We were seated very quickly when we arrived. Our server was on break, so another server took our drink order. He was friendly enough. We decided to share their famous bacon wrapped burger and the street mac and cheese that we LOVE so much. Street Mac and cheese is phenomenal. Come here for that. The rest? Meh. I really disliked the burger. I took barely two bites and something was off. Was it a frozen patty? I don't know but I didn't taste any bacon. If this is their famous burger I have no interest in trying their non-famous food! Our regular server returned from break. She wasn't rude, but never checked to see how things were. And then the check came. There's a 2.99% operational fee on the check. It's a small amount...that's not the issue. It's sneaky...it's not on the menu anywhere. Other places have it listed on the menu, similar to 'parties of 6 or more...blahblahblah'. Even that wasn't on the menu. Two stars...and that's for the street mac and cheese. Otherwise, it's a hard pass for me. read more

Street Side Ale House & Eatery - PRETZELS & CHEESE - Sports Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Street Side was one of the few places open on fourth of July. We were seated right away. We weren't looking for too much food. We just wanted a snack before we went wine tasting. We also decided to order a couple of drinks while we were at it. We only got the carnitas nachos to eat as we were planning to get dinner later that night. The nachos were delicious, but the portion size felt small for the price. We did enkoy our drinks. I got the bee's knees and my wife got a raspberry mojito. The restrooms were a very inside the building, but it is quite a walk to get there and they were very dirty that day. They really smelled and there was trash all over the floor. My wife said the women's restroom was also dirty. Overall a positive visit, but the cleanliness of the restrooms was a damper on our experience here. read more

Came in on a busy Friday night. Service is friendly and always checked up on us. Ordered a few appetizers, drinks, and an entree. The cocktail I had was okay, pretty watered down. I loved the bacon wrapped jalapeños. Buffalo wings were decent. The pretzels had a good flavor even without the cheese. Shrimp tacos were my favorite as they had wonderful textures and flavors! read more

Good food and great service! The food was delicious! I got the brussel sprouts appetizer and they came out perfectly crispy with, candied pecans and cranberries but the star of the dish was the horseradish cheese sauce. It almost had the texture of a soft cheese except that you can still scoop it like a sauce. It paired so well with the brussel sprouts. But even more impressive was the warm greeting that we got as we entered the establishment, then we were promptly seated and our waiter came and introduced himself and chit chatted with us a little before he got us waters and asked if we needed a minute. He gave us some recommendations but told us to take our time. Drinks and food came out in a timely manner. I feel like we may be able to get food that's just as good elsewhere but I left this place completely impressed by the friendly service. Thank you! read more

We walked in without a reservation and were given the option to sit at the bar or at a table. We chose a table and were seated pretty quickly, which was a nice surprise. The vibe is casual and fun.

Definitely a must-try. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive throughout. Overall, a great experience and an easy place to come back to. read more

When we walked in we were immediately seated in the bar, we were not offered seating in the dining area. We were greeted right away by the bar tender who was very attentive and on point. My wife ordered a wedge salad with chicken and she liked it. I on the other hand ordered fish and chips. This is where it went downhill. The fish was way overcooked the batter was so hard I had to peel the batter to get to the fish. The fish wasn't flaky it was more like a chicken strip. My wife typically eats some of my fries, she only had 1 bite because the fries were cold and chewy. It seemed like they had been sitting for an hour and just thrown on my plate. Also, why do restaurants throw the fish on top of the fries? Nobody wants fish soaked fries. read more

Loved Ahi Nachos, good heat, ton of flavor! Hubby had pastrami with onion rings. Might to our new atasadero go to!

We were on a road trip recently traveling California National Parks - we had a one night stay in Paso Robles. For dinner we ate at the Street Side Ale House & Eatery on the plaza downtown. We are always on the look out for he most delicious Mac and cheese that we I believe we found it here!We've had some great Mac and Cheese dishes in the American South but this was the best we've had away from the south. They call it their Street Mac and it's made with Rotini pasta served with a house-made pepper jack cream. There's pepperoncini, bacon and a shake of roasted Rosemary. And topped with a parmesan and panko crust. It's so delicious! You'll find it on their Starters menu , which we enjoyed with an order of their Street Side Sliders which were also very, very good. Beef with grilled onions, bleu cheese, balsamic reduction and roasted garlic aioli. Oh, and the service was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back and I know what we'll order! read more

Lunch and dinner at the same place on the same day because I loved the tomato bisque and cheese bread! Also had a bite of wings and loved it! The street Mac was delish except I'm so not ready for rosemary so I think, personally, it would've been perfect without it. Clean, beautiful space. Service was pretty good especially for our lunch when I let our server know we were in a rush (quick bite while charging) and she made sure to put in our order right away. I'm sure we'll come back here next time we're in the area. read more

Love the Chicken Cranberry Salad, fresh ingredients and homemade dressings. This is the only thing I've tried here, salads are my jam. Dining in a few weeks ago was a good experience, our waiter was knowledgeable, witty and attentive. I work nearby so ordered a salad online for lunch yesterday. My order was ready but the hostess was kinda rude. Literally didn't say "hi", "welcome " or "thank you". No smile at all and she looked annoyed. The owner should know his hostess gives grumpy energy. read more

Wow. With all the great reviews, I thought this place would be WAY better. I really expected better for a cute, busy place in Paso. The ambience was startling with way too bright of lighting. The food felt akin to an Applebee's or Chili's. The horseradish cream cheese sauce on the Brussels was a mound of cream cheese - nothing sauce-like about it. The churro dessert was good. Kept me from giving the place a 1 . read more

Anyone who has a left below a 5-star review for their food, hasn't tried their shrimp tacos! They are AMAZING! My husband & I were just stopping through on a road trip and this place seemed to be the perfect spot for us. He had the chicken club sandwich with fries and I had the shrimp tacos with a Cali Squeeze Blood Orange beer. He said his sandwich was good, but we both agreed that the shrimp tacos were AMAZING! The beer & fries were extra delicious as well! The tacos come 5 to a plate. I could only eat 3. The hubs polished off the last two in lieu of the other half of his club. Service was super quick and wonderful. Would highly recommend! read more

We had a delightful meal at the street side ale house! My compadres both had a well cooked salmon with crunchy quinoa and I had delicious buffalo wings with creamy homemade ranch.
