What a fun experience! It's thee half way point from Los Angeles to Santa Cruz. The apple mojito Kombucha

We were actually heading to another restaurant when we saw this place, and decided it was worth a try. I am glad we did because I had a great time. It's always fun when you can design your own pizza but to be able to try all the beer and wine and charge it on a card is pretty innovative and fun. You are basically your own bartender. They gave us one card to use for our table of two, and we just charge it as we go. They charge by the ounce, whether you want to try their wine, beer or ciders. They try to show case local breweries and wines. I do wish they had more wine to try. It's also pretty cool that you can watch them make your pizza through a glass, washing them tossing it in the air. The pizza is large enough, that I was able to bring some slices home. You can choose regular or gluten free dough. I got the regular dough with BBQ sauce, fresh mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, Italian sausage, black olives, pineapple, roasted squash and zucchini, arugula and red onions. I would recommend this place as a great place to hang out and catch up with friends. read more

Great Sports Bar and food. Really enjoyed ourselves at a reasonable price and great food. Great atmosphere with plenty of TV's. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

So my wife, brother-in-law n I decided to give this place a try. To our surprise it was really great. For starters I had the build your own Pizza. I had it with pepperoni, olives, tomatoes, green onions and garlic. The garlic was actually whole gloves. A little bit on the large side. It was OK but you have to really like garlic to add this to a pizza. I would recommend this item. My wife had a salad which was fresh and good. My brother-in-law has the Spaghetti with Meat Balls. It had a lot of sauce on it. He said it was a good flavor. I did get to taste it too. According to my taste buds it was pretty good. I would highly recommend this item. Overall I was very pleased with and would highly recommend this place. read more

What a delightful find. Hidden in plain sight right on Park and 13th (I think) We came for an early lunch and we were so early that we were the first of the day! Forst the place sparkles with clean and open space. Wow! For the drinkers there are so many taps - what a selection. I can't speak for the beers as we just had a lunch and water. Anyway our waitress Joy was engaging and very helpful in telling us about the place, and other special items. She did well. We had buffalo wings, which were spicy and meaty. followed with Carne Asada fires, which were very good, and the fires were done just right. Then we had a small pizza with cheese and tomatoes and nice sauce. All in all we were pleased and I will definitely come back to try the sandwiches. Looking forward to more good times. read more

Excellent service from waitress and hostess. Kassy was the best Door great beer great atmosphere great, highly recommend read more

the female server/bartender with the dreads was top notch. from her greeting us when we arrived to the very end of our dining experience she was wonderful. The atmosphere was welcoming as well with the cool air conditioning and plenty of space to enjoy the football/baseball games simultaneously. she changed a few tvs to accommodate all the patrons and was genuinely an all around amazing server/employee. I suggest the pretzel ! It was HUGE and could curb any beer fueled hunger. read more

Just go when it isn't busy! The organization is a serious struggle. The food would be good if they could get it to you when it's hot. And it would be more enjoyable if you had time to enjoy your courses. But the appetizer came, then in the time it took for him to get back to the kitchen our salads came and then the same thing with our main dinner. read more

What a fun time. Self pour bar. (You get a card to access pours.). Great selection of beers and some wines too. The self pour is so much fun. One sip or a whole glass. It's up to the pourer. Did not eat but the menu was inviting and the food did look good. read more

This is SUCH a fun place. I'm just going to go ahead and preface this by saying that the food, a week or two after opening, was decent-to-good (pizza was decent, wings were yummy). But we are NOT here to talk about food for this review. It was good, it was inexpensive, no complaints, & it will only get better as their kitchen continues to figure out its footing. We are happy & moving on now. We are here to talk about the service (excellent-- seriously, within a couple weeks of opening they had this on lock during our visit) and the self-serve, pay-by-the-ounce beer & wine taps. When you arrive, you're offered the chance to obtain a card (much like an arcade card) that allows you to help yourself to a huge variety of beer & wine, much of it local. Not sure if you will like something? Buy an ounce! The prices are great-- under 50 cents an oz. for many options, so you can taste-test to your heart's delight until you find something worth that full pour. If you are curious, picky, or just like to try new things, this is a really fun spot. read more

Never went to a brewery where they give you a card and you go up and serve yourself. Really Cool! Outdoor and indoor seating with large windows and doors for ventilation. Friends got a pizza, hot wings and fries. Soo yummy! The atmosphere was light and happy. People having a good time. read more

The food was good. It's a great place to choose your beer and serve yourself. I wish they had more wine options. The server was a bit lax, but the ambiance was fun and up beat. They allow dogs inside which is a bonus for me! read more

What a fun place to eat. My service was great. Very friendly from the hostess to the server. Clean neat place. The prices are Paso downtown prices. I would expect nothing less. They have several TVs around with different sports on and stuff. The fun part is the self serve beer and wine. They have a great selection. Each tap has the product a description and the price per ounce or full glass. You can get your self tasters to see what you like. You are givin a card that you put in the tap of what you want to try. As you poor you can see exactly what it is costing you. My only negative is my pasta tasted great until the bottom of the bowl. There was a ton of oil and I couldn't finish the rest. My son had the buffalo wings and he really enjoyed them. I will definitely try again. read more

Only some servers are wearing masks. The chef is not wearing a mask and then he's hugging customers who are also not wearing masks. The beers weren't working so you couldn't pour yourself a beer because nothing worked. Not sure how this place is open since half the workers aren't wearing masks and they don't care if customers wear masks so essentially if you care about covid safety don't come here otherwise it's your normal dining experience. read more

3 straight trips to 3 different blast and brews just to get a pretzel and 3 straight trips they were out

We went to Blast/ Brew to watch the Basketball game and had a great meal and service great experience

Yum! Ordered for delivery the first time. Hubby had the sausage and mushroom penne in Alfredo sauce that came with two slices of garlic bread. Tasty from the one bite I had (he doesn't share well and doesn't rate his food-ugh). I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich that came with garlic shoestring fries. Tasty and chicken was tender. Best garlic fries I've had. Other places tend to make them garlicky, but this was just the right amount. My breathe didn't totally offend anyone (that I'm aware of) and didn't belch (tmi) for hours after. We also ordered the bbq wings with ranch sauce just because the reviews convinced me to. They were big, meaty and flavorful. We'll save the rest for for lunch tomorrow. We'll definitely be returning and hopefully dine in and try their beers on tap. read more

What can I say. Blast and Brew is a solid place to get a brew and have a blast. In particular, I always appreciate the top notch service and comedic stylings of B&B's very own Zach, the establishment's highest ranking bartender. Thanks for always having the Dodgers on and providing a selection of both niche local beers and Coors. Food is ok. read more

Great bar food. Asado fries and chicken sandwich were really good. Self serve beer is cool idea. You get charged by the ounce so you can just try a couple beers and not have to commit to a full pint of you don't feel like it. read more

Amidst the wine tasting rooms and unique restaurants, Blast and Brew has a pretty cool corner location. Not being die hard beer drinkers, they also have wine, ale and kombucha. With a pour yourself set up, you are given a drink card that you place in a slot under your drink of choice, and it measures and charges you by the ounce. This gives you an opportunity to try the different varieties of pours! It's brilliant. Chilled glasses are at refrigerators on both ends of the drink bar. What goes well with beer? Pretzels! Served on a tray with a mustard and cheese dipping sauce, this pretzel comes to the table hot and coated in butter! You need to get this! Outdoor and indoor dining currently available with Covid. My paranoid self did wipe my table down with antibacterial wipes and the table was not so clean (this is the reason for 4 stars), but this is a cool place if you're not into the wine so much. read more

Food is decent. Basic bar food...wings, pretzel, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and some pastas. The beer system is pretty cool. They have some taps on the wall and you're given an ATM card that charges you a price per ounce. You can try to see if you like before you commit to a little or a lot. That way you're not bothering a bar tender. read more

Absolutely loved it! we we not expecting to dine here, but every restaurant we picked beforehand had no tables for my family of 6! Downtown Paso Robles was extremely busy for a Monday night, we almost gave up. Luckily we were feet away from this place. Great menu, with a variety of food options to satisfy any food craving! And the beer selection was pretty darn good! I recommend the 805 Cerveza! Smooth and refreshing. The bacon wrapped shrimp we a 10. Tots we're devoured in minutes Chicken wings were cooked perfectly Arugula, fresh mozzarella and prosciutto was out of this world. Thin and crisp crust. Amazing. Meatball and spaghetti was a hit with my 4 yr old, she loved it. And it came with 2 savory pieces of garlic bread. Mushroom and penne pasta was heavenly. Sauce was bomb The Cheeseburger was juicy and big, with choice of garlic fries, tots, regular fries or side salad. Of course dessert was a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream! big enough we all had a bite! Our server was extremely friendl, went above and beyond for us. High chairs were available and they were clean. A casual and laidback establishment I highly recommend! read more

One of our favorites places in paso. Staff is usually pretty good. And they have cauliflower crust pizza yay!

Visited this place last weekend. It's located in a great location and the atmosphere was lively. The restaurant has a beer wall that offered a pour it yourself concept. The food and beer were good with alot of tasty options. I ordered the onion rings and sliders which were delicious. The food took a little bit longer than average to come out but overall it was a great experience. Definitely would recommend. Would rate 4 1/2 stars. read more

This place is really interesting to me. Love the concept, and the menu had lots of good sounding options. I ordered the chicken artichoke salad and it was AMAZING. Not a ton of artichoke, which was a slight bummer, but otherwise very good albeit a bit garlicky. Others had mentioned their food to have a lot of garlic as well, so beware if you do not like garlic- you might have it sneak up unexpectedly in your food. I think my confusion lied with my waiter. I got there ahead of the rest of my group but had to ask him how the tap system worked, as I had never been there before. It would have been better had he engaged me and offered me something to drink or to offer up how their system worked. Oh well, got it figured out. Prices for the drinks weren't really a good deal, but nice if you want to taste or try a collection of local brewed beers in one place. Overall, I'd return because I enjoyed my salad. read more

Tried going here with family the day after my wedding and ended up leaving because the manager and staff were completely unprofessional. They told us they could seat 15 of us and then didn't have enough chairs for all of us, which was not problem cuz we don't mind standing. We were doing our best to stand around the patio tables they had assigned us to after the chairs filled up and the manager told us we needed to "collect ourselves" and "get seated" before we could order. Even though they were the ones that sat us at a table that physically did not have enough seats for all of us. The manager almost lost his temper when I asked him where he suggested that we sit down without chairs. Bizarre. There are much better places in Paso Robles. The Backyard (just down the street) accommodated us with zero issues and the food and service was significantly better. read more

Walked in here for lunch today and really impressed. The menu had at least 7-8 items that I wanted to order. Opted for the crispy chicken sandwich with tots. Super good and crispy. Finished the whole plate. Others with me had the grilled chicken pesto sandwich with garlic fries and it was awesome. Also witnessed the asada fries disappearing. The fries are the thin shoestring type and great. I will definitely be back to try some other dishes. read more

This restaurant doesn't seem to be in compliance with Covid-19 regulations. The tables are not 6 feet apart, more like 3 feet, our waitress was wearing a mask but I saw two other workers with no masks and serving. The menus are shared with no cleaning between customers and the tables are wiped down with the same cloth and no disinfectant use. Now on to the food- I ordered a Marguerite pizza with artichokes. There was barely no artichokes and very little cheese, not the eat pizza. Overall not a good restaurant to eat at right now. read more

Good GF pizza crust, good regular pizza crust, great fries... friendly and efficent servers... like the beer and wine card and 1ounce pour system. read more

We had a great experience here. Holly was the best server. The food was so good. We had a table of 6 and everyone loved their meal. We will be back. read more

A few years back me and my husband got invited to eat here by family. It was really good. We got pizza, wings, tots... Beers. Yesterday for my birthday we ordered take out. We got wings, a bpj pizza and tots. It was horrible, the wings soggy and cold, dry. The tots felt microwaved and hard. The pizza slid by with okay, but after throwing out the other sides, I was just upset and went to bed. I woke up today and thought I should leave a review, to avoid take out- maybe at the restaurant is your best bet. read more

Good food. Service was prompt and friendly. Family friendly and casual setting. The wings were good and the pizza was delicious too.

The Pizza and bacon wrapped shrimp where very good . Just wish they had a selection of cider beers.

Food is great for a night out with the teens. Service is amazing and the vibe is easy. Sports on tv,, Nice beer selection.

Amazing service and amazing food, went there for the first time tonight and Holly was extremely friendly, helpful, kind and relatable. It's rare to have that kind of service these days and we will definitely be back- for sure try their wings and fries. Possibly the best wings I have had. Pizza was amazing as well! read more

Picked up some wings an nachos to go. I purchased two flavors of wings, bbq and teriyaki both tasty. The wings disappeared when I got home. The nachos were good and spicy. Good stuff read more

Service isn't all that great, but the deal with beer should make it good. Food is alright.

This place knocked our socks off. We didn't actually dine here. They offered to take food over next door to the tasting room and we couldn't have been happier. We ordered the pepperoni and the BBQ pizzas. Both were great. But we kept fighting over the pepperoni. We also ordered the Caesar salad which ended up being too much food but we enjoyed the left overs. The service is amazing. So friendly and they were so nice to our dog. read more

Fantastic food, beer and service. Such a great concept - pour your own beer! We planned to pick up our burgers and eat at home but the great vibe and energy had us sitting down for the best burger and brew in a long time. We will be back! read more

Great place to watch the games on tv. Many wines and beers by the glass that you pour yourself, you can fill the glass or just sample since you pay by the ounce. Great chicken wings. read more
