Server was very attentive. Place is very trendy and upbeat. I didn't like the serve yourself beer. Then tipping on it. Yikes. Reason for the 4 stars. Well. The food quality just isn't that great. Hard chips and cold. Dry pork. Etc. Just needs better quality. Still a fun place read more

OKAY, wow, the fries. Super crisp. The ranch also super yummy. Kind of reminded us of McDonald's - thin, crunchy, salted well, and light.! WINGS - got all flats and loved it. Service was also great! read more

The service was great. So easy to get up and get your choice of beer or wine by the ounce. I liked my pizza. They have brick oven making my crust so crispy. read more

Jade was awesome. He was very attentive. Our friends had the Brussels sprouts. They enjoyed them. We split a burger and it was very tasty. This was our friends first time here and they enjoyed the selection of self serve beers. I had the root beer cider which was very good. read more

We ate here when we were in town. It wasn't very busy.. You can pour your own beer you get a card and you can come and go as you please.. they also have a couple of wines that you can choose from. Pretty fast service , and I enjoyed my barbecue chicken pizza.. At first, when you walk in you see the cashier and I thought we pay first, but it's a regular sitdown service restaurant. Casual atmosphere.. read more

Blast & Brew was our dinner for the night which is close to the Paso Christmas lights downtown! Food was decent, we also tried their pour and drink bar area which was a fun experience. Their brussel sprouts was okay and sweet potato was also decent. Our dinner was okay, nothing that really stood out to us but it definitely filled us up! read more

This has been a go to place in Paso as my daughter worked there. The server was very friendly. We come here now and then. Pizza is great. I like the Philly Cheesesteak and burgers are all good go to's. Salads are good as well. The pretzel app is yummy within a good sidekick mustard. The beer wall is the attraction catcher in the local joint! Enjoy read more

Second time, stopping at this place on our way to Pismo. My kids love their pizza. The PB&J pizza and the cheese pizza has never disappointed unfortunately this time they had no chicken tenders which was disappointing. Other than that it's a great atmosphere service is great. The food is great. read more

There was no greeting or anyone coming up to seat our group until we asked or made eye contact. One of the male servers seemed like he did not care or was lost in the sauce. There was no instructions or drink menu for the self pour or how it worked with the cards they give you. We had to ask for utensils and grab our own napkins. We ordered the crispy buffalo Mac n cheese and it was very dry, no cheese whatsoever. Fries were good tho and they do not liquor just beer and wine. read more

I really like Blast & Brew. It's a great place to take visiting friends since there's a very diverse menu - and being able to pour your own beverages is novel & fun! My partner loves the pizzas - he has several favorites. I love the pesto chicken sandwich. Perfection! Staff is friendly and they welcome well behaved dogs. Lively place to watch the game. Lots of TVs. A good assortment of low & high top tables. Indoor & outdoor seating available. read more

GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! This place is a complete joke. They are terribly understaffed and the food is mediocre at best. I just left after waiting over an hour for our food. The waiter seemed unbothered by the fact we were leaving. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! We are local and do our best to support local restaurants, but Paso Robles is lacking in terms of food quality, decent prices, and timely service. I will not be revisiting this location. read more

Sports bar with TV's everywhere. Drafts and wine by the ounce (with a great 50% happy hour before 6pm). Pizzas, burgers, salads -- oh yeah. With a few locations nearby, this Blast & Brew is a great option for Paso, and a nice casual change from some of the nearby restaurants that need a RSVP. They give you a tab card, and it's a DIY pour at draft machines. Not so unique, but welcomed by me...boo-yah! For eats, I've tried numerous things: * Crispy Chicken Sandwich [$16, 5.0 stars] * Black & Bleu Burger with garlic fries [$17, 4.0 stars]. * Several pizzas-good but not great [$14-19, 4.0 stars] * Bavarian Pretzel [$10, 4.0 stars] * Chicken wings [$16, 4.5 stars] Other Positives: * Really nice service * A great hang * Regular stop, it's in the rotation! read more

On our way to Sonoma/Napa Valley, we spent the night in Paso Robles and made sure to go back to Blast & Brew. We were here over 4 years ago. Of course I remember hanging out here to watch the Dodgers clinch the World Series back in 2020!!! Still the same great comfort food as we remember. We split a Blast & Bleu burger in a toasted brioche with sweet potato fries, which was fantastic. We loved the crispy onion straws in it and the aioli on the side. We also shared an order of Brussels Sprouts with balsamic glaze, garlic and parm. Yumm! read more

We tried this place after seeing Rustic Fire Pizza was closed last night. The food selection and beer selection are incredible! The chili is one of the best ever. The salads are good and so are the pizzas. The service was good, given they were way under staffed. They only had two people serving and the place was close to full. Special shout out to our server, Zack, who worked his tail off and was super calm and helpful. Also, shout out to the other server and the kitchen staff!!! The owner may want to address the short staffing issue or risk people not wanting to wait so long once seated. That is a simple fix since everything else there is great! read more

Ambiance reminds me of BWW Place was clean & the service was great. We sat at the bar, to eat lunch, we didn't drink any alcohol. I loved my burgers & fries. This would be a fun place to come watch any baseball game or sporting event, with friends! We were on foot just walking around town. I think there is street parking. read more

A solid 4, 26 beers on tap, another 8 wine - all charged by the ounce, very cool! Ever wish you wanted another sip or two to go with a sandwich- just pour! Especially if want a taste test, or a full glass. ice cold glasses at either end of the tap line, convenience. The food was above average, we did a second order of wings, so good. The bacon wrapped shrimp, delicious! Looking for appetizers or meal? Service was helpful, and attentive, great concept, prices are reasonable ( for the area). Clean and comfortable inside, also outside seats. Enjoy! read more

Made a pit stop in Paso Robles and stumbled upon Blast & Brew. We were looking for the drink menu and then noticed the beer wall. We were so amazed to learn about the concept of self serving beer from the tap. It was such a fun experience tasting the different beers and a few select wines they had. We also ordered a pretzel and thought it was delicious. Apparently they are made fresh! We had a great time here and would definitely return if we are ever driving by or in the area! read more

A good setup to watch sports and with a great location downtown. Enjoyed the self-serve beers and wine, but several of the beer taps were empty. Probably more expensive to get a full glass here than other places due to the way they charge down to the .1 oz, but my wife liked trying a partial glass of a few different things. We ordered the steak nachos (terrible), sweet potato fries (quite good!), and an Italian pizza (average). It all came pretty quickly, even though the place was reasonably full of football fans on a Saturday afternoon. I would come here again to watch sports, but I would probably eat somewhere else first. read more

We had an amazing experience. Very nice clean and relaxing atmosphere. The food was fresh and yummy, no complaints. We absolutely were like wow at the serve yourself beer and wine section, pretty cool, first time experiencing this... Service was awesome, always making sure we were taken care of. We will be back and we Recommend to try it. read more

A fun stop in the downtown area for some PYOP pour your own pints. A great way to taste various beers, ciders and wines. Full glass or tastings whatever you're in the mood for there's great options. Your server will give you a card to scan for pours. Cold glasses are located in the fridge next to the taps, just help yourself and get to pouring. Lots of screens around to watch the game. Low and high top tables with large windows to open up the space. Needing some absorption, our table shared some sliders and taters. Great service and good food! The traditional menu was much needed to balance our evening before the next stop. Food was hot and fresh. Would definitely return! read more

They were very patient as we sat and watched USAf play for 4 hours. The pretzel was best ever and the whole concept of pour your on beer was fun!! The staff Was friendly and service oriented. TVs and beer endless count. read more

Okay mixed feelings here. It is your classic and small chain restaurant that has a nice beer selection and bar food. What I liked, and my mostly IPA beer drinking husband, was the self-pour tap room wall. They give you a small plastic card that registers how much you pour per ounce, per glass. They say they have beer and wine; trust me, I'm a wine drinker, they have a very narrow 4 or 5 selections of wines. Nothing you'd want to drink. I became a Beer Drinker that night! What is really cool; As you are working the tap you can see the price per ounce of each beer or wine, as you fill it up to your desired level you will see the total price of your pour! Sorta like filling up your gas tank. You will know exactly what you're paying for the amount of beer or wine you put in your glass. My husband ordered the tri-tip sandwich and he loved it. His fries were excellent as well. My grilled chicken sandwich not so much. I bit into the sandwich, it was grilled to bits. It tasted almost like I guess what sawdust would taste. I felt really badly because the waiter was just wonderful. Really couldn't say enough about his friendly greeting trying to serve us. In fact, I wasn't going to say anything, but my husband mentioned it to the waiter. He offered to replace the sandwich. I was sort of done and full. The onion rings were good, not super, but good. Our wonderful waiter brought the bill and comped us my entire meal. I told him no, but he said yes. Of course I made up some of the difference in his tip. Bottom line; I'll come back. Our waiter did say they're mostly a pizza place. My husband will order his Tri tip and I will share my pizza with him. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the tap wall. I will next time. I'll be back! read more

Tap beer. Count me in! Came to Paso for my bf's birthday weekend with a large group on Labor Day weekend 2024. We needed seating for a large party so this was the perfect place. They had everything for everyone. A little bit of everything. I love that they had a bunch of beers but many were out so it was not as fun as we anticipated when we first walked in. They are priced high as well, so the fun ended quickly. The food here is decent but the food took forever to get made. Great hang out spot but def cannot handle a large party on the day we went. The hang over was kicking in and everyone was getting irritable. What was supposed to be a fun day out just turned into long waits and disappointment. The birthday dessert was such a disappointment as well. Brownie was hard as a rock and the cookie shaped as a pizza/cake took so long we had to ask for it togo. read more

drinks, food, service, and the environment was amazing! lots of tvs. drinks are self dispensable. staff is great.

Took a group of 8 here yesterday, Sunday, before noon. One waitress in the restaurant. Hardly any other patrons. Ordered drinks and then meals shortly after. Then the problems began. After a long wait, one order came out. Several minutes latter 3 more orders, a few minutes and then two more orders then another and after first meals were consumed the final order for tri tip tacos came out over 45 minutes from the time the orders were made. Total disorganization. Fries were cold, hamburgers were under cooked etc. etc. this place used to be good. Enjoyed going there because they had tater tots on the menu. They've been taken off, they used to have blue cheese bacon burgers, gone like the tots. We only seen one waitress until afternoon when a second one came. Only seen one cooking the kitchen. Overall, not the quality it used to be. With all the restaurant options in Paso Robles, Blast and Brew will have to step it up to compete. read more

Very disappointed. With not many tables, my friend and my lunch took close to 30 minutes to come out. Perhaps their lunch kitchen staff is under-manned, but it took far longer than we expected. My friend's French Dip burger looked 200% better for 4 bucks more, than my Spicy Italian Roasted Sub. The only thing I tasted was the vinaigrette, when I expected the blend of Italian meats. Each sandwich came with a portion of semi warm fries, pfff. The beer was not very cold, which was another drawback. It's a great spot for a sports bar atmosphere, but I don't know much else to give accolades to. read more

Wonderful place! 6 of us had lunch here last Saturday. The food was delicious! We had everything from Burgers to Pizza to a salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal! The burgers were perfectly cooked juicy and had lots of delicious flavor! The pizza was very cheesy and the crust was wonderful and chewy! The salad had very fresh greens on it and my wife enjoyed it immensely! The service was top notch! Never an empty water glass and everyone there was so nice and personable! Definitely willing to help assist you to make your stay at this wonderfully decorated restaurant pleasurable! Love this place! We will be back!! read more

Pretty disappointed that you do not have NFL ticket this year. Won't be coming in to watch NFL. Bad decision blast and brew

What a fun place to watch some sports and drink! We stopped here tonight and so glad we did. You can pour whatever the drinks you want, any quantity you want to drink. Pour into chilled glasses and oh beers taste so good! Very friendly service too. It was our first time and the server helped us to figure out how to use the card etc. Open and friendly atmosphere, some are watching a game, some are eating dinner with family. Very good place to hang out. read more

Went for dinner. Not impressed. Food was fine. But we had a large party and our food all came out at different times. Some people had to wait 20 minutes while others were served faster. Nearly everyone's food came out at different times. Food came out barely lukewarm. Ugh! Service was mediocre. No one seemed happy to work there. Kinda tells you something. Definitely go somewhere else to eat. read more

Shoutout to the Blast and Brew crew! We came in on a Monday evening, it was 58 degrees and down pouring, they have a covered heated patio that accommodated my husband and I, and our dog. The staff was so attentive to us and our dog. Food came out quickly and portion sizes were great. Be sure to take home An order of their "mini" cookies; they aren't mini by any means are good sized cookies! read more

Visited 29 July 2022 We planned on going to another restaurant right across the street but apparently they were booked from all the people visiting for the fair. No big deal. Blast & Brew had a wings and wine special that day (Wednesday) so we took advantage of that. We were seated indoors pretty quickly upon entering. Our server, Brenn provided us with the wine/beer card then took our orders. We all got wings. Since this is a "choose your own adventure" type of restaurant with regard to the beers and wines, we each went to the wall to select our drinks using the cards we were provided. The beer wall is stocked with numerous local and domestic craft beers and local wines. I don't remember if anything was imported. What's cool about the wall is each beer or wine gives you a brief description and you can taste something that piques your interest before committing to it. Once we were done deciding on our drinks, we headed back to our table. Shortly after we sat down with our drinks, our wings arrived. I got a split of garlic and hot wings. All the wings were fairly big but they were cooked just right. They were all nice and crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, just how I like it. But, of the two flavours, I preferred the garlic, especially the garlic shreds that were added to the top. This was my second visit here and I would definitely go back. Highly recommend. read more

Horrible service, they had nothing in stock and had to come back to tell us 3 separate times they didn't have what we previously ordered. The waitress didn't pay attention to us at all. When we switched something out that we ordered, she threw away the item in the trash directly next to our seat. It was weird. The whole experience was weird and just plain bad. read more

Very pleasant experience here. My favorite items were the carnitas mac and cheese, as well as the brussel sprouts. The fries were really good, too. The service staff were very kind and understanding, and overall the place had great vibes. Would recommend! read more

Came here for drinks and only got a pretzel. We enjoyed the pretzel a lot and it is good for sharing. For drinks, you get a card to scan and pour your own beers. It is a cool concept. I would come back here another time to eat more food. read more

Bland pasta, bland customer service (not good, not bad), and bland experience. The pasta was said to come with "charred salsa", I didn't see it on it. By the time the server came by to ask how everything was, I was almost done with it and too late to ask. Besides, when I told them about it, I just received a "Oh, the kitchen must have forgotten to add that. Our bad" My son got the pepperoni pizza, which was OK. The atmosphere is promising, however. They offer self-pour beer draft machines. Overall, I'd skip the place unless you're already meeting someone there. read more
