Another review for a great spot hidden away in my drafts. Casual but great stop to add on a night out.

This place was super family friendly and welcomed me and my friends in, Ed was a perfect host and can't wait to come back. read more

Legends Bar - Bars Near Me - Morro Bay, California

I went here for my first time last weekend. My boyfriend & I traveled to Morro Bay for the 25th annual yard sales. Let me first say the environment was cozy and welcoming. I heard very good things about the owner of the bar who passed by us a couple times with a friendly smile. Within the hour of being there, the male bartender and a woman began to argue. She was saying he was being rude for no reason. As the woman left, the bar began to applaud, so I joined in. I ordered my drinks from the woman bartender who was soooo sweet! But, at one point I asked the male bartender a question about their music machine. He IMMEDIATELY seemed annoyed & visibly showed it. I wasnt sure what I was doing wrong, so I rephrase the question timidly, hoping to not "offend" him again. His answer was unbearably RUDE for zero reason. This made me understand why he was already called a psycho earlier that night, which made me feel terrible for clapping when that lady left because of him. I decided to walk away without saying anything, but later I wanted to order a drink at the bar and the woman was busy. Guess who still DID NOT serve me after a few awkward eye contacts passed, it was late enough for him to go home I guess. But he served one more person before he left, not me though. Luckily the woman was a great experience. I wanted to share this in hopes he can consider being in better spirits when going to work. His negativity was highly uncalled for. I wasnt going to share my experience but why not. It still annoys me when I think about it read more

They wouldn't even let us in. I'm not sure if it's because the bouncer out front was trying to flex (at 120 pounds) or if it's because I had a couple of sealed alcohol samples from another bar, visible and sealed from another establishment that I was at because I'm in the industry.. I feel weird, leaving a negative yelp review about another restaurant.. I've never left a negative Yelp review ever, for a restaurant. But I guess I am now. And I own a restaurant. The samples were sealed I could've left them with the bouncer at the door. He could've told me to return them to my car. This just wasn't handled well. 3.6 stars on only 176 reviews, you may want to talk to your staff. Edit - after reading some of the other recent reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one, I guess this guy likes to flex on everybody. read more

Bartender here is unnecessarily rude and antagonistic with patrons. Reading other reviews seems to be a pattern that ownership can and should address. Will not be returning, which is too bad given the bar's otherwise positives. read more

Worst bartender! Doesn't drink, can't make drink suggestions, seems to hate his job. Rude and sarcastic. Needs to work somewhere else. Can't handle setting our glasses down at all. Lame. And has a horrible haircut !! read more

Nice cozy little place. Came in to have a few drinks. Rude service from one of the bartenders wearing the blue titliest baseball cap. Would have given the place 5 stars but bartender dropped it to read more

A great time for Super Bowl at this fun, casual bar in Morro Bay. Our team lost - Booooo! but the game was great sitting with new acquaintances and friendly locals plus a terrific host & bartender, James. I had my usual Manhattan/Maker's Mark and my husband had a couple of IPA's. My drink was perfect and beers were enjoyed! It was Customer Appreciation Night, so there was food & drawings for prizes. FUN times! Special thanks to James for handling it all with a relaxed and rallying approach even though he's a Raider's Fan. Check them out. Good times! read more

Went in last year and it was fun! Went in again this last Sunday (Sept 15) after we called and they said they were playing the Saints/Cowboys game. We booked it in and got a table. The crowd was mainly Raiders fans (booo) but everyone was super friendly! It was the bartenders 50th birthday and the vibe was just pure goodness! People were super friendly, the bartender was amazing. A gentleman had way to much to drink and the bartender cut him off, in a very gentle way. It was nice to see. The loaded tots were tasty as heck. The drinks were affordable and delish! Bartender was awesome, the cook was super friendly and sweet. This place has a real friendly vibe, good people and we will definitely be back! read more

Stopping by from road trip of highway 1, this is the spot to stay before a good night sleep, great billiards, great people, great services given by Megan. Feeling safe around the area as traveler. I am so glad I found this place through yelp that closes later than many other bars around Morro Bay. Great memories made, and if ever coming back to visit I would definitely come to Legends Bar again! atmosphere is amazing! Great experience. Hoping in the future if I ever travel again I would definitely visit legend bar. read more

Solid dive bar. Nothing exceptionally special but a solid dive bar shouldn't be exceptionally special. It should be basically what legends is. Cheap enough. Some TVs. Maybe poole. etc. read more

They need a bartender that isn't aggressive that won't beat up elderly people.its crazy all the reviews I ve read from people that have been in Legends that are very bad experiences with this bartender. The owner must be related and or rich to not be concerned about this problem I definitely would not my bar having this bad reputation. After my experience I recently will be spreading the word. And the owner doesn't even care enough to respond to all these really bad reviews. read more

Whoever your bartender was the night of 7/26 around 11pm is despicable. We are locals and had company in town. My spouse wanted to take his friend and his son to our local bars. After one drink they left to Siren which is always my go to personally. The bartender was very standoffish and made them feel very uncomfortable. To the point, my spouse even asked him what his problem was, and this says a lot because my spouse is a very very non-confrontational person. This is very disappointing as the times I had come here in the past it was a cozy spot to just grab a drink and chat. Do better Legends! read more

Great local bar and friendly bartender! Great vibe too! Love this place! Will definitely be going back

One star for the photos et. al. on the wall, otherwise a 0. I'm pretty sure I was not welcome. So disturbing to be in the place it ruined my day. I came home and read all the reviews and I feel a little better that other people described what I had felt. Not all the reviews mind you. Many are very positive. It looks as though the bar has a good following of people who like it a lot. But it seems like there are some people who are not welcome. People who look like me maybe. I would be curious to know what type of other people were treated this way and if there is a pattern. I am neither "homophobic" or "racist" and I don't have covid. Maybe I LOOK like that to those bartenders. I don't know and I never will. This is a place that many people described as "toxic". That was my experience. The word "rude" was used many times but I would say "abusive" is closer to it. People describe being offended the minute they walk in. Me too. People described being yelled at and insulted. Me too. Very recent reviews describe a "rude", "smug" bartender with a mullet. That sounds like our assailant. Danny DeVito, with a high screechy voice and a balding mullet, making faces to the customers at the bar and talking under his breath at our expense. Ignoring me and my friend when spoken to, being argumentative and insulting, appearing absolutely put out and exasperated by being asked where the pool cues are or the chalk, huffing and rolling his eyes. All an apparent show for the customers at the bar. The bad vibes I experienced did not come from the local customers, who seemed cowed by this bully. They knew this behavior was highly inappropriate, and watched the show. When spoken to they were civil. The climate of the room, on THIS day, came from the one bartender, Danny DeVito, who seems to have had an apprentice on the day we were there, following his lead in rudeness and lack of civility. I would not avoid this bar. Go into it and see what you experience the minute you walk in (before you buy a drink)... (If you buy a drink, know that I read at least three reviews by customers claiming they had been short changed, and or slighted on the drink). You will know if you are not wanted right away. I would suggest leaving. Or you may feel the love if you are welcome. Many do apparently. Some do not. Or, maybe some of the other bartenders are different than these miscreants. The owner joined us at our table for a bit and was quite nice. She bought the place 22 years ago she said. I think she is experiencing employee abuse. The twosome were fairly sneaky, changing their behavior when she was in the room. Either that, or he is her son. He seemed pretty entitled do do as he pleased, and that would explain his not having been fired. I read a discussion of this being a local place. Is Danny DeVito a local? Really? That's not how I see the locals at all. They are a better lot than this. The two bartenders I experienced turn a proud "dive bar" into something else (but just some of us apparently). My Love to Morro Bay. read more

The bartender on the cheers holiday, hates New customer's. He was so rude to was we left without buying anything. The owners loss. Denied service animal. Then called me a asshole. He needs to find a job without customer service . read more

Great vibe! The bartender greeted us right away. Very friendly and welcoming. Small local "dive bar". No food but they have a plan with a new place opening up next to them. So maybe some food in the future. He did say you are welcome to bring in food if you'd like. That's nice to know. We just did a quick visit for a drink. I would definitely go back. We were waiting on a place across the street to open at 2pm, Babydudes, so I could try their freshly made cookies. Soooo good. Next time I'm in the area, I'll try to do the reverse. Get the cookies and then come hang out and enjoy another drink with the cookies. read more

No food. No happy hour. No service. No reason to return. Two stars for the eclectic decor.

Love this place. friendly and welcoming locals. Fun vibe at the pool table. Doesn't feel like locals are icing anyone off of putting your name up on the board for next game. read more

We were staying in Morro Bay & were looking for a bar after dinner. Friendly customer service! They did not have a cocktail menu but they can make anything you request. We had a few whiskey sours. They also serve Italian food- pastas, salads, pizzas. read more

When you go to a place you needs to feel welcome. The bartender was very very RUDE!!! When your offended by rudeness five times in 15 seconds and a group of six people get up and leave you know it's not a good place. None of us will never attempt to go there again. The guy behind the bar at 2 PM on Saturday, August 20, 2022 needs to have a lessons on how to treat customers. If I could have given it less than a one star I would have. He lost alot of money for the owner and I hope whoever the owner is they read the reviews and do something about him. I don't usually leave reviews but we were all offended the minute we walked through the door. read more

Really bad bartender! Rude, poor education and prepares whatever he wants, then he gets upset because he never listens. That place needs a new direction first getting rid of the bartender. read more

Walked in with my wife no bartender behind the bar waited for a few minutes and looked around the bar most of the patrons looked local and did not seem to friendly or say the bartender is away and will be back shortly at this point went across the street to sirens and had a better experience read more

My husband and I were visiting from out of town and came for the happy hour. There weren't any menus available so I didn't even realize there was food until the end. We did not eat here. We got one beer each and my husband put music on the jukebox and the owner/manager went behind the bar to turn the volume down. It wasn't offensive it was on the jukebox for purchase. We ended up closing out and going across the street to The Siren where we felt a lot more at ease. read more

GREAT local dive bar. Comfy. Quaint. James with the hospitality. Drinks were stiff. TVs. Order BBQ through the window. A local spot for sure. Been here before and will be again. A+ read more

Okay vibe. Service was rather cold. Seems like the bartenders are busy talking to locals - which is fine. Won't be back. Thx Legends! read more

I'm a huge fan of the ambiance here and the vibes. However, the kind bartenders is why I keep coming back. Dylan is my favorite bartender here as he is such a sweet guy and is very attentive and serves drinks promptly. Thanks for the great service Dylan! read more

Went in for a late night drink on a Thursday. Locals only and a bigger dive bar feel. Bartender was friendly, didn't treat us as "out-of-towners". Great music options on a juke box and a hole in the wall pizza joint next door that serves the bar. This was my favorite bar in Morro that we visited. read more

One star. It's advertised that they close at 2am. They closed at 12am on a Friday and ignored me when I asked for a round for 5 of my friends. We tipped them well too, they are frauds for not even giving a heads up that they are closing 2 hours early. read more

A classic bar with stiff drinks & good beers on tap. A giant Moose head sits in the center of the bar, along with other old memorabilia of Morro Bay on the walls. I like how they always have sports playing on their TV's & they have a pool table. Legend's could be a locals hangout at times. If you are looking to hang out with some friends, shoot some pool & watch a game. Legends is a good place to stop into. read more

Went there on Christmas Day after working all night as a first responder. My wife and I have a tradition of going out and celebrating her mothers life who was taken on Christmas years ago. This Christmas was the most toxic. The guy at the bar didn't want to work that day and was yelling at people for coming in. Told people he wish they would leave and we were all annoying. Said he's not making drinks only bottles and you don't even get to choose what bottle. Two over weighted nasty lady's on the end with colored hair also chipping in telling us we were annoying for asking for a drink on Christmas and we should be gone on our vacation. This place sucks and karma is king. Bonus tip he over charged us on purpose and was hoping we didn't notice read more
