beer was good as always. they were out of 2 local wines that my wife wanted to try. seems like you could drive down the street to get more wine. service was good a little bit rushed but could have used maybe a extra minute to decide on what to eat and drink. food was okay maybe not quite up to previous visits biggest issue there was the burger was very salty. fries were great. have had better visits. read more

Paso Robles may be wine country, but Firestone Walker makes a compelling argument that grapes need to calm down and let the hops speak. This is the kind of place where "I'll just have one beer" becomes the opening line of a fictional story. Choosing a beer feels like picking a favorite child, except these children have tasting notes and you're allowed to order a flight. The atmosphere practically encourages you to cancel whatever productive thing you had planned. Suddenly, you're discussing hops like you have a brewing degree, when ten minutes ago your entire beer vocabulary was "cold" and "another." Come for a beer, stay because nobody at your table can agree it's time to leave. Bring a designated driver and someone who understands that "one more" is a negotiation, not a number. read more

After a long drive (and busy weekend), on my way. back to Ventura County, Firestone brewery was a great place to stop and eat (and drink!). I have been here in the past approximately 3-4 times and each time is very good. The place has a lot of seating-this time I sat in the outdoor courtyard area. The service was very good (quick) and the waitress was very attentive. Burgers, wings, salad with added grilled chicken, pot pie-you cannot go wrong. The food was really good. And of course the brews were very good too. You have to realize, I was in the land "of God's nectar"-WINE! For me to attack anything that doesn't have a cork in it, is, well, usually is non-existent. When I go to Paso, I am usually there 3-4 days and no grape is safe. The 805 Blonde was great. Partnered well with the food that was ordered. There were several other IPA style beers at the table that were very good. Firestone Walker is there for a reason, a successful reason. Stop by on the way north or south-you will not be very glad you did. read more

Educational beer tour with a bit of tasting. You're supplied with eye protection and a headset. Tour guide was on point with the history and high level details on the process. Headed to their restaurant across the street afterwards. You must try the Tri-tip Sando! Added the cheddar cheese. So good! Mind Haze my all time favorite on draft but that 805 Cerveza is just right when going light. Your glass is never empty because of the attentive staff. It's my version of an amusement park. read more

Great food and craft beers when you want a change from wine tasting! Always a chill vibe, and service was friendly and efficient that day! Our party of 6 (and a service puppy) were seated promptly and comfortably outside on their huge patio as soon as we arrived. Looking forward to our next visit back as always! CHEERS and happy eating till next time... read more

Firestone Walker Brewing Company - Paso Robles - Firestone Fried Chicken Sandwich (added bacon because why not?!?). - New American Near Me - Paso Robles, California

I was on a quest for a Tri Tip Sandwich and after perusing reviews and photos for all things Tri Tip, this brewery won the battle of who is going to stuff my mouth? (it's not a regular contest... yet). Plus, it's a brewery and like at least 1/9th of the United States Supreme Court Justices, I like beer. First, the sandwich! This was a 10/10 (or in 1990's figure skating, a 6.0). The tri tip was shaved thin and was super easy to bite in to. The bread held up nicely and the tiny bit of greens added some crunch and healthiness (I guess, right?). They also had skinny fries which is a yes please from me! Excellent all around meal. They had a decent selection of beers, which is always a plus for a brewery. I'm a wheat fan so they lacked any choices for me. The wheats they had were all high ABV which must be a California thing or something. I sampled them (thank you) and just didn't like them. I didn't even finish the samples. I ordered a blonde and it was pretty good. I can adapt if they don't have what I want. This hit the spot after a long drive from San Jose before a weekend of wine sampling. If you're in Paso Robles, give this spot a try! read more

We're in Paso Robles for the weekend and decided to drop in for lunch. The spot was bustling, ambiance lite, and our server was on point, attentive, and polite. As for the food, it was surprisingly very good, full of flavors, and well crafted. Each dish we ordered was a culinary masterpiece that exceeded our expectations. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Food-My Ahi Tacos were awesome and seemed fresh. I would have liked some more heat to the sauce but they were delicious. my friends had Brussel Sprouts and they said they were good. My husband had the burger and he said it was really good. Service-Front host was awful. Unfortunately the place was super busy. I'm surprised they are not used to being busy especially during FIFA. They didn't seem to plan for the rush however the young girl at the front of house was not organized and she kept changing the time for our wait. We saw tables empty for over 20 minutes and nobody was being seated. I asked her if we could take a bar area table and she was visibly stressed and snapped at us and said no. We waited for like 45 minutes before we were able to sit down. Luckily you can order drinks at the counter near the bar. The fish tacos were good but the Ahi Tacos were so so good. read more

Finally made it back for Spring break and enjoyed more of it by signing up for the brewery tour. I know the burgers are the way to go and tried 3 different burgers this time, with 3 different fries skinny, lion, garlic parm, lol. Different is good, but I think the classic 805 smash burger is the KISS, keep it simple stupid, fav. Same with fries, skinny or lion are the best. The garlic parm upgrade was tasty but too oily. I love the regular fries with their crack ranch sauce to dip into. Oh, I did get to try a sample of one of the sours. Never had sour ale before, so this was a great chance to try it out! Definitely an acquired taste, as it was not for me. Glad I didn't just order a glass of it! I'll stick to my fav kiss UDBA, lol. For the brewery tour, my bad in misunderstanding in signing up. Per person over 12 does not mean the ticketed participant pays to drink the samples, while under 12 can go for free without samples. It means, no one under 12 can go on tour period (not just stroller babies, anyone under 12 is no go), it's the law so that's that. They kindly offered to still get me beer flight while I relaxed in the room with the under 12 kid:) All the beers I chose were delicious and I had a great time chatting with Ms. April, like a personal bartender! Tour came back in about an hour and wife was tired from it. Glad I stayed behind to just enjoy the tour, since inside the factory was loud when had to enter the door to use the restroom. So if thinking of doing beer flight in the restaurant, just go across the street and do the tour without doing the tour and enjoy the flight here! A must stop in Paso for me. I still need to hit the one in Venice - Marina Del Rey area... Wife recommended to her coworker and they went to that location and loved the burgers and beer. So if can't make it up to Paso for the OG location, the one in LA is much closer for us LA/OC folks. April told me the Sunglider beer they had was developed in the Venice/Marina location, and it's become popular to become a permanent offering or something. So maybe time to go check out the Venice/Marina location to discover what is under R&D! (but I am sure I will still just get the UDBA there, lol) read more

A variety of craft beers are served at this taproom restaurant, from lager, india pale ale to hazy IPA and even barrel-aged beers. You can totally customize your beer flight, so you get to try even more options. I chose Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher, Hopnosis, ParaPajamas, Parabolita and Baltic Merlin The food was so good too, especially the Ahi Wonton Tacos. The food goes great with the beer and isn't overly salty like some other gastropubs. read more

3.5 stars. Came Saturday afternoon 5:15pm it was getting towards crowded but not packed. We sat on the patio which was nice on a warm Saturday afternoon with a kiddo. lots of cute dogs to look at. but no one came to check on us, I had to ask the hostess and someone came out. We ordered 2 beers- 805 cerveza & mind haze, waters, kids chicken tenders, kids lemonade, tritip Sando, and 805 fish tacos. We got our food pretty quick which I appreciated but had to wait for the utensils and kids lemonade. My fish tacos were meh, tasted plain with batter being the main flavor. Was hoping they would taste amazing with the 805 cerveza but it was meh. Hubby loved his tritip sando. He loved the bbq sauce and aoli sauce. He ate it all up. My kiddos chicken tenders and fries was huge!! Had to get it packed up to go. Would be great for a hungry growing boy. Overall it was ok, liked the patio, service was meh, and my tacos were meh, we will be back though I just won't get the tacos again. it's great stop driving back from the beach. read more

The vibe, the beer, the service, and the food! We liked it all. We have been here many times over the years and as usual were happy with our meal. I love that they have meat free and dairy free options, and my husband was happy with his meat full option. We sat on the back patio, in the perfect weather and our server was very attentive. My portabella sando was fantastic, and my husband loved his fish tacos. Paired with a Cali squeeze and a 805 Cervesa we had a great time and a great meal! Go there if you prefer beer on tap, far better then in a can. You can even take your littles! Family friendly all the way. read more

Unfortunately I didn't find anything worthy of praise except for the facility. Cool place. The food was seemingly without quality control. An expediter capable of steering the direction. Waaayy too much salt in the pot pie. Way too much heat in the ahi tacos. I didn't even finish my second bite. The polenta under the modestly tender short ribs had no salt. There was only one component of that plate I could not specifically identify as having just the right salt. It wasn't the rib. I didn't know what I had expected of FW. Seems like I had hoped for more "Stone" since I am from Escondido, CA. It was a big buyout, yet nothing said Stone. All the FW hype seems to be the 805 brand. Please don't serve your "non-alcoholic" selections (beer) in a glass that "obviously says non-alcoholic". Why not just ask her to stand up next time. Not impressed with the service either. Oh, BTW, my beer was fine. "Been there, done that!" CritDicks read more

Always a ritual to stop by and get 805 Cerveza with 805 smash! The smashburger is a perfect blend of meat, juicy cheese, onions, pickles, house sauce and with the soft bun. Every bite was great and Wasn't overwhelming in any way. Perfect smash burger! Also got the buffalo chicken wings this time which was decent but can be skipped if you're not into it. As far as service Ely was a great server as well and very attentive and always checked up on us. This place is great stop by and try them out! Everyone's friendly, good food and good beer! read more

We felt like we hit the jackpot when we found out we could visit Firestone Walker while we were in town. We've had several of their special brews so getting a chance to try them in person was a real treat! We were seated immediately by the friendly host staff and we were off to the sampling races in no time! Our attentive server Nicholas was so helpful and provided great service and suggestions! We got a few flights of some brews we've never had a chance to try before and snagged a few bottles and cans to go to enjoy at a later time. We were there around lunch time so we wanted to get a bite to eat too and that was definitely a good choice! We decided to share a braised rib on a bed of polenta with roasted vegetables which was absolutely delicious and oh so tender! It was very refreshing to see families gathering around us and all the laughter and joy filling this large space! All of the staff were noticeably happy so it felt good to see that too! We had no idea Firestone Walker was in Paso Robles but now we know! We couldn't believe how large the production facilities were when we pulled up! Wish we had more time to be able to do a tour but we'll have to plan for that next time we're in town. It was our first time in the area but it won't be our last! We can't wait to come back! I hope everyone else doesn't hesitate to go check them out too! You won't regret it! read more

This is our second Firestone Taproom we have been to. The first one was in Buellton. Very large dining area and a good amount of 805 Merch (my husband already has it all). Solid place for cold beers and pub type food. Service is excellent. Our server was Zach and he was very attentive, refilling waters, etc. The food is good. My husband ordered a burger with fries and I ordered Mac n Cheese (appetizer size). Food came out quickly and the beers were cold and refreshing. Definitely a great place for families and large groups. We saw several large groups and lots of families! read more

We stopped on the way home from Cambria. We had the dogs so (6) of us plus (3) dogs sat on the patio, under the heaters, very cozy. Server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the pretzel and Parmesan cheese fries as an app along with a couple of beers, a Coke and my Diet Coke. Pretzel came with cheese sauce and mustard, big Bavarian type twist, plenty to share. Fries were great, came with ketchup, plenty to share. We ordered a couple of smash burgers (shared) and I got the fish and chips with steak fries. The burgers were great and my fish and chips were amazing, they even had the malt vinegar. Highly recommend for a quick lunch if you're in the area. read more

On the way to Pismo we were hungry AF so it was time to park the rig and chow down. Ordered the tri tip sand hoping it was the same as the one at the Dog House Grill in Fresno since the ownership is / was the same. Not the same but the bbq sauce was and that made it awesome. Got the Brewers pizza too. Alittle undercooked but very tasty. Buratta cheese made it awesome. Fries that came with the tri tip were alittle undercooked too and alittle cold too. Overall a 5 star experience but one star taken away for the small hiccups. read more

Service was fine but more focused on cleaning. Dark ambiance which I'm not a big fan. Didn't get any food. Beer was okay. Won't be back.

Visiting the Paso Robles brewery is an experience in itself. One of the coolest details is the conveyor system running overhead with cans moving through production. Watching beer literally travel above you while you sit in the taproom is a unique touch that makes the place feel alive and fully operational. When we visited, the restaurant was about three quarters full and steady foot traffic kept coming in. It did feel slightly understaffed for the volume, but the bartenders and servers handled it well. Despite the pace, service never felt chaotic or careless. They managed the flow professionally, which says a lot. The beer is exactly what you expect from Firestone Walker: fresh, clean, and consistently excellent. One of the biggest perks of going directly to the brewery is access to draft pours and bottled releases that do not make it out to other metropolitan areas. If you are into sours or stouts, you will be happy. Their core lineup is strong, and the rotating tap selection keeps things interesting. You can stick with the classics or try something new every visit. Across the street, the Emporium is worth stopping into. If you are looking for branded merchandise, this is the place. They lean heavily into the 805 theme, but there is still a wide range of Firestone Walker gear and plenty of bottles, cans, and even kegs available to take home. Overall, it is a great stop whether you are a casual beer drinker or someone who follows craft releases closely. Between the production visuals, rotating taps, and exclusive offerings, it is absolutely worth visiting when you are in Paso Robles. read more

I had to give 4 of 5 stars because I remember when Firestone was just hitting the Craft Brew craze with their coffee stouts. My wish is they would return to their roots that made them so extra special in the craft brew world. No imperials, barrel aged or nitro. Just good coffee beers. As far as the facilities, what a beautiful place and staff, as usual, are always nice. Cali Squeeze Blood Orange is definitely a good second option. read more

Had such a good time here. It's the Firestone Walker flagship in Paso and you can tell they put care into the space, with the barrels stacked up, the big murals, and a fun merch shop. The tap list is huge so there's something for everyone, and being able to try the barrel aged stuff on site is a treat. Got a meaty wood fired pizza and it was legit, nice charred crust. Plenty of TVs if you want to catch a game too. Staff were friendly and the tour was a nice bonus. Definitely coming back next time we're up here. read more

Even tho we live close by, we hadn't been here in over 6 years and decided it was time to visit again. We arrived shortly after noon on a Monday and were seated quickly in a booth in the bar area. The ambiance in there is great! Especially love the beer conveyor belt overhead. Unique & cool so we were glad to see it still the bar focal point. The menu had changed quite a bit since our last visit. We had the smash burger & the chicken sandwich. Both were tasty and we liked the presentation - and both were a noticeable step up from what we used to get here. So great job on upping their food game! The burger was delicious albeit a wee bit greasy & messy - glad I got the sauce on the side. My partner said the chicken sandwich was tasty yet messy, and had a bit of an identity crisis in that it had a lot of flavors that were nice independently but not terribly cohesive. Well executed fries. Nice touch served in a paper bag - not greasy & perfectly salted. Server was super nice - but - 4 stars only for service bc he forgot our requested waters & then brought us the check before we ordered our second round of beers. Note: it wasn't busy so they weren't trying at all to rush us, they just falsely assumed we didn't want more beers. I was only halfway thru mine while my partner's was empty and moved towards the edge of the table (universal sign for "beer me, please!". Server was cute about it but we would have stayed and enjoyed even more beers if he had asked if we wanted another round. So - glad we came back to check out the newer menu. Beers are consistently good here and definitely THE reason to visit. The DBA is especially exquisite. Lots of seating options - patio, bar, dining room. Parking can be a challenge. Firestone Walker is a place that should be visited at least once if you like good beer. It's not always where the locals go, but it caters wonderfully to visitors & travelers. Lots of great merch, too. read more

Visited during a trip to Paso Robles this fall. We had little ones with us and wanted to make the dinner experience easy so we decided to stay away from downtown because parking/crowds are tricky. I really wanted this to be a yummy meal but it fell flat. It is your typical pub/bar food. The burger was not bad and the fries were just fine. We did a beer flight because it's worth it to do that at this location. The service was not amazing. She had a lot of tables.

First of all reading some of these reviews on here is whack. It is a BREWRY that has food. Yes brewery's are cold. Sit outside if you are too cold inside. We came here for first time and service, food and beer were outstanding. We have high standards too. I likes the smash burger so much I ordered two of them. I probably should have stopped at one cause it was plenty but it was just so darn good. We left with a bunch of cans of beer too. Would go back for sure! read more

This brewery is huge and you'll probably see it as you are driving on 101. We came here for beer and dinner and I love that you can order individually with QR code at the table. I got a Pear Saison beer and it is delightful. I don't drink beer much but I love this one and would come back for this. However it's the food item that I didn't quite like. I ordered the fish and chips off of their signature menu. But the fish came soggy and is completely falling apart. I felt so bad sending it back but the service is amazing and they made a new one. The new one also came falling apart. It's somehow fresh and soggy at the same time. The batter is just offfffff the fish like no tomorrow. And it really kills the fish and chips experience you know. The thing is. This is a signature menu item. It's not your afterthought food item. I would imagine a signature item is well thought out but it didn't deliver. The chips tho are delicious! It's nicely fried, could be crispier on the outside but this is good enough. The inside has very tall ceilings and it feels very open. Btw there is a super interesting beer can conveyor belt installation. So cool! read more

Firestone is always delicious and hits the spot - especially after a mini road trip! Some great beers, American cuisine, and good vibes.
