    Came here with a large group. We had to scatter throughout the bar as it was already very busy. Some of us sat at the bar. Sitting at the bar, we were able to meet co-owner Steve (Jake, as he reminded us of our son). I heard someone ask him for a menu and he said the menu is in his head lol. I thought geez ok. Then when we needed to order drinks, he gave us suggestions and we took them. It takes a minute to get to know Steve and his ways,lol. Steve is very straightforward person, multitasker, funny (if you get his personality). Boardroom has many funny signs inside, games to play, outside patio, it is right by the pier. Nice environment to come have a cold one and watch a game on their tvs. Will definitely stop by again.

    Beer and darts

    Walking down to the beach and I see a popping pub with a pup inside and I get a beer: they have darts. Haven't had the chance to throw so many darts. Friendly tender too.

    Stop by during our evening walk. GF saw it and got excited and we stopped in for her to have a glass beer she chose West Coast IPA beer which she enjoyed. The owner was nice and gave me a tasting of a beer that tasted like orange soda which he stated was popular with his customers. He also gave a tasting of a newer brewery from San Diego to GF which was also an IPA. IPA is her choice of beer. Place is small and inviting with music playing and a dart board for those who want to play. Place also serves food. Friend was happy and bummed we only discovered it on our last night. She said she would stop by again when she is in town. I forgot to snap shot the beer.

    Stopped by today on a whim, best decision ever. This place has great vibes, found a common hometown connection with Steve and the service was great. The food was also good, we had the chicken tenders which tasted like they were brined in dill pickle juice (don't quote me I could be wrong) (also don't knock it till you try it) and they were juicy and amazing. We also had the flatbread pizza small but mighty and packed with flavor. Steve was welcoming and asked what I was looking for in a wine and suggested a good choice Pelonton (local wine even better). 10 outta 10 would come again for the good vibes, great food and amazing service!

    Great beer, great food, great wine selection, Soju if you want a cocktail. Always a regular when we are in town. Very good local taproom. Always a great selection of beer and wine. Food phenomenal for such a small kitchen. Great tacos on Tuesday nights. This is a must stop if you enjoy local crafts and wine while you are in Pismo. Very dog friendly. Cheers!!

    Ok Steven, Clearly you were offended by my experience at your establishment. Your correct i was wrong on the Celsius drink, let me correct myself, it was the berry Cider my group ordered while we were there. There was no food ordered. It's clear that constructive criticism you can't accept well. The name calling in your response really shows your character as the business owner, and how you deal with customers opinion on how the experience was at your establishment. The ambiance was basic. We actually had a large group that attended your establishment, we were celebrating a engagement, and brought our evening celebration to your establishment to try. I believe in second chances, however you left a negative impression to ever visit your establishment with your response to my experience, and I feel that customers will see how you treat patrons. Looking at past reviews I'm not the only one that had a bad experience at the boardroom either, but my review sparked something in you to reply to my post. I sir would like to Thank you for the audience that will pay more attention to my posts and future posts. Good day to you Steven, and best of luck to you Sir.

    Great ambiance. Cool place to hangout. Didn't try the food. However, service at the bar is up to par.

    Great service and great beer selection. They also have good specials for food. It's dog friendly. We like to go here after a walk on the beach with our dog.

    Fun place and welcoming

    Food, music, esthetics are very solid. Going to be back here again on my visit to Pismo. Count on that.

    a bar with a lot of glasses on it

    My favorite place in Pismo! I enjoyed my first visit so much that I came back twice! Good beer, lots of sports channels, and I made a few friends. The bartenders were awesome. They were quick to serve and kept up with the crowd. The bar has a neighborhood bar feel. It's not touristy but is probably for tourists. It's so close to the beach you can probably go back and forth pretty easy. Go check them out!

    Soju cranberry sparkling lime tastiness...the Shhhttteeeeve is what we jokingly called it

    The buffalo chicken strips and chicken sandwich were absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a laid-back place to hang out, grab a bite, and enjoy a drink, don't hesitate to stop by here! We felt welcomed and comfortable the moment we walked in. You can tell the regulars at the bar know and love Steve -- the friendly, local vibe is unmistakable! Steve was willing to make me a delicious concoction (since I don't like wine or beer). It was so kind of Steve to cater to us!

    The vibe is great. But don't go if you're in a hurry. Also it seems like a local hangout. Coors light could be priced lower.

    We want to come have dinner tonight and watch the ball game at 6 pm. are in door dining open tonight?

    Our county is currently red tier so yes we have limited indoor dining.

    Do they have sampler flights for beer?

    No but you can get taste of a couple on tap

    Is the establishment 21 and over?

    No.

    My wife wanted to visit a nice restaurant with a view for our anniversary. I opened Apple Maps and…read morechecked the pismo beach area and Ventana Grill was the first restaurant that stood out to me based on location, therefore, I made a reservation. Note that the parking lot, depending on which day you go, can fill up very quickly. The location is right off of the 101 and easy to find. We checked in and was seated within 10 minutes at a booth that overlooked the beautiful views of the Pismo Beach coast line. Our server, a younger black woman, who told us her nickname was 'TiTi', if I'm not mistaken, was wonderful. Her personality and hospitality was infectious and exceeded 5 stars. She brought us fresh hot corn and flour tortillas with a small cup of brown sugar butter and three different salsas to try. Everything was delicious. We ordered the surf and turf special which was a jumbo shrimp on top of a filet mignon that rested on mash potatoes and a creamy/savory white sauce. We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. Everything was exceptionally good. My only takeaway would be that I found the food, especially the lobster Mac and cheese to be pretty salty. Definitely excited for my next visit.

He spoke very quickly, didn't smile and seemed to just want to get through the order. In addition, his accent made it even harder to understand. Our drink order was messed up. They gave us the wrong drink as a freebie which we didn't like. I guess to make up for the mix up. Then our dinner came immediately before our tortillas as appetizers. Catch of the day was sea bass with a few veggies and rice. Definitely not special. The flourless chocolate cake was dry. Overall a very underwhelming dinner. So sad. Probably not going back.

BEST RECOMMENDATION It's a little off the beach path but well worth it. They had many big screens with the game playing. The server tried to change the language from Spanish to English but no success. Has to change the channel but it was fine. We had the combo pizza with a pound of medium wings. The wings were served with enough crisp and just enough sauce. They were really tasty. The pizza was made with fresh ingredients and the crust was perfect. Not greasy. We took leftover pieces back. We would be back when visiting Pismo. Very low key, good vibe and efficient with a smile service. Highly recommend

    You've heard my driving someone somewhere story... 10:40…read morethis lovely evening in Pismo, just dropped a flight crew at the hotel and I was done. Hum late dinner or early snack? There was Me & Ed's, its Saturday night they gotta still be open and there was my parking place. So I went over and looked in, ah couple folks still sittin' around. Ok looks decent enough and in I strolled. I had a look about, ok guess I order here at the counter. Menus were there a the counter and hanging above too. I was pleasantly greeted and I asked if they were still cooking? Defiantly a Pizza Night, the "personal size" was too small. I ordered a small pie 12", Pepperoni and black olives please. Thin crust? yes he said our original pizza is on a thin crust, perfect. I grabbed a cup for soda and helped myself. I sat and caught my breath, thinking about I don't what when the pie arrived, nice. Looked great, good toppings coverage, cooked just right, and friggin hot. You know tearing the slices apart is gonna be stinging hot and the first bite will melt your mouth...here goes. Perfect, great melt on the cheese, good flavor on the sauce. Top Notch Mate. They served the pizza to me in a pizza box so I knew my time here was limited. Nevertheless I scarfed halve of it and literally had the remaining for breakfast. [ my trick to reheat pizza is to throw it into a large fry pan and cover it, low heat.] I don't eat pizza or pasta that much these days (carbs) but I'd be back here for another pie anytime I'm in the neighborhood. Thanks guys dinner was great! Foodguy-Martin
