Extremely fun bar in Morro Bay! When we visited, Legends was decently full and quite lively. Even though we were visiting and the bar seems like a fun local hangout, everyone made us feel welcome. We received excellent service. They have a pretty decent tap list of craft and macro beer. They also have a pretty impressive liquor selection. There's also a pizza joint adjacent that will actually serve pizza into the bar from a tiny window. Overall, this was a great find! 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

Food is OK from next door. Service is excellent!! Happy Hour is, as expected, a great value. Jim read more

Went in for cocktails and was told because of Covid I had to order food with our drinks?!? What? We had already had dinner at another local spot. We didn't want food and the bar across the street didn't make us buy food so we went across the street. We had great drinks and service, Thanks for leading us to a better option across the street in a much bigger, nicer place. Would have loved to spend my money with you guys but I guess you really didn't want our business. Hope you decide to change your rules cause it looked like a great place. read more

I walked here from around the corner where I'm staying in a hotel on a solo vacation from New York. Upon arriving the bartender was unfriendly at best. After checking out some of the pictures on Yelp I was interested in a mixed drink so I asked what he recommended and he held up his hand and showed me his wedding ring and said he's already married and doesn't make decisions for other people. Uh, what? Okay. Then when he saw my confused expression he said it's all just a matter of opinion, to which I replied that's all I was asking for anyway. Fine. Whatever. So I ordered a bottle of beer and handed him my card. After he swiped it he told me it's a $10 minimum. I was alone so I was almost kind of hoping the beers were $5 each so I could have two and leave. I sat down at a table adjacent to the bar but after 5 minutes I realized I couldn't even finish my beer I was so uncomfortable. I set it on the bar half full and told the guy to just charge me $10 for it. He said I didn't know the rule so he was gonna let it slide. I told him that wasn't necessary and rules are rules so just charge me the $10 and he said what seemed unnecessary was to charge me $10 for one beer. So he charged me $4 and when I signed the slip I left a $6 tip. F*** it. Locals only it seems. Wow did I feel unwelcome there. read more

5 stars as usual. We come once or twice a year with the exception of the pandemic. Didn't know what to expect upon returning after all this time, but they did not disappoint. James and the others greeted us with the usual smile and great service. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Legends Bar - a bar with stools and a moose head on the wall - Bars Near Me - Morro Bay, California

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

Cool small bar right in town. Great location to randomly find ourselves watching a classic car show

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

Great little bar! We saw it on on drive in so decided to drop in to have some drinks to celebrate our anniversary. The vibe was awesome, great decor, looked like mostly locals, and a fantastic bartender! Listened to some great music from the jukebox and enjoyed great conversations with another table. The happy hour prices were amazing, this will be our place every time we come here now. read more

Legends Bar - Bars Near Me - Morro Bay, California

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

Our first 4+ hour sit at the bar only cost us about $70, not a bad deal. But above and beyond the decent prices is the hometown feel and really great people that we came across! Sunday afternoon, James behind the bar, locals dropping in and out like it were their neighbor's house. Nobody snubbed us for being non-regulars and they even included us in conversation. Drinks were strong and made well. I first had asked for a Bloody Mary "extra spicy" and James whipped me up one made with horseradish! Interesting and really a great flavor. I had a couple of those and then switched to a classic well drink. I think besides the fact that the drinks were cold and served with a smile, this place just felt like "home" from the minute we walked in. It's definitely a "locals" bar, but the locals are friendly in Morro Bay! :) Thanks for a great time..... CHEERS!! read more

The pour depends on who's working: it was so weak the first visit, I switched to beers. It was ok the second, and legendary the third time. + $3 Jose Cuervo (or Jack) shots all day long. + order window to a pizza place next door, open til 9 or so. It's like a glory hole, but this you want to swallow! + Shuffleboard and pool. + Comfortable bar stools with elevated foot rest and purse hooks. Though I didn't have a purse. Tonight. + The place across the street is too loud (live music) and pretentious. Legends had friendly locals. + Friendly servers, always. One slid my Coors Light down the bar like I was in Tombstone. read more

This place was horrible. I was over charged and when telling the bartender he said nope that's what you owe. We didn't want to argue with this idiot so we paid and left. Never went back. Well, after looking at my CC statement I was charged $10 the next day. I have contacted my CC company. This guy needs to be held accountable. Not sure who the bartender was or if he was the owner but BEWARE!!! This place will rip you off!!! read more

I was the only person at the bar waiting for service. Two bartenders talking to each other. Spoke to a man who came in after I did. And then blew me off! Poor service. Old woman ignored. read more

Witnessed the worst display of bartending that I've yet to come across here last night. A few patrons entered, and sat down. Bartenders face immediately scowled, like he just has it in for these guys already. Began arguing with one of them over moving a drink down one seat. Mind you, he has no comment to these patrons about this until the woman who the drink belonged to returned. Eddie, as I shortly after learned his name to be, rather than try to calm things, continued to argue with the one patron. Patrons wisely chose to leave without further incident as Eddie told them all to leave. I left shortly after as well and do not plan to return. Can't relax and enjoy my drinks in an environment with a guy like that behind the bar. I'd rather drink at home. read more

Terrible bar tender, Eddie sucks. He wouldn't serve us even tho we wanted to give him our money!

Visited last night with friends after a music gig and was subjected to rude service and patrons toward our foursome. l have lived in Morro Bay many years and had not been in the bar for quite a while. Too bad. This used to be a fun place for locals. Would rate it less than one star if possible. read more

This bar was so much fun!! My boyfriend and I visited this past weekend and had such a good experience being served by Ed!! He asked us what we like in a drink and surprised us with what he thought we would like and they were BOMB. He made the experience extremely welcoming for us and it's just a dope bar overall. We are 100% coming back. Delicious drinks, amazing service, made for a great night read more

Legends Bar - Us and Ed! Best bartender at Legends!! - Bars Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Worse bartender service I have ever seen so Poorly run place. Went there on Saturday since I drive two and half hours to spend the day there. Looking for some drinks before bed disappointing. They obviously don't care since their is many reviews like this . read more

Highly recommend NOT coming here! Stopped in on our road trip through town and it was a horrible experience. The blonde bartender was rude, unprofessional, and judgmental. I heard great things about this place but regret the entire experience because of her. Sad!! Don't waste your time. The Siren was better :) read more

Great Service that's been around for a long time Great experience and Time I will go back and recommend anyone thanks read more

super kind staff, great drinks, fair prices & a good vibe over all. would definitely visit again!

Had a great time here on our business trip to Morro Bay. Locals were abound and the conversation was awesome. Happy hour specials are awesome and it has an ordering window for the awesome pizza place next door. hell yea! read more

This place is trash, At the same time I'm not very surprised. Based on the phone call I made to as a simple question that was not answered and when I asked the question again MELISSA responded with a hi, hello? I can't hear you! Hung up. Go in and the service is.... Well let's say worse (sh****) then the phone conversation. Hit the Siren Atleast The employees are happy to serve you read more

Tried this place again recently. Only one of two bars open late in MB. I still WANT to like and support local bars...It was kinda busy and again, waited 10 min for a drink, or to even be recognized. STRIKE 1-The bartender clearly did not have a system of left to right or right to left service, and was overwhelmed. Two things, hire 2 bartenders, or at least one who can knock out drinks quickly. When I said, "hey I've been waiting over 10 minutes" he relied, " hey, it's a bar" - who the fuck is managing and hiring shitty staff, and understaffing on a Friday night? STRIKE 2- Also, ordering bourbon rocks I get short- poured. A rocks glass is 4 oz. Fill w ice, add booze. He used 2 oz glass, with ice, add booze - With ice = less booze than a 1 1/4 oz shot glass= short pour. STRUKE 3 l Let's review.... Shitty service,, bad attitude AND short pour? No, no and no. Buy supplies from the store and have a drink at home. Legends sucks.. read more

Locals bar that was very welcoming to this visitor. Great place to relax and grab a beer and they even have outside seating. Bartender James was super friendly. I only wish I was here on the every other Wednesday trivia! read more

Legends Bar - Bar that just makes me feel at home. - Bars Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Came to visit from the LA area. We came on a Saturday afternoon during happy hour. We were greeted by an awesome bartender named James. Mostly locals which we liked since it gives you a true feel of a place. Great specials on drinks including a quality IPA for just a few bucks. We will be back the next time we are up in Morro Bay. read more

Great dive bar for ambiance. Bar tender was nice. Small quanty place. There's lots of room to sit and it has a pool table. All the customers there are friendly. Buuuuuut watch your drink when it's made, they watered mine. Me and my husband asked for an old fashioned and he added water. And it was $12 each! Not cool. read more

Bryan is awesome and we love this bar!!! Funny sense of humor and innovative drink delivery read more

Great old school bar. It had an OG Morro Bay feel. We had a couple of beers and played a few songs on the jukebox. The bartender was nice and attentive. Very chill vibe. Will visit again!! read more

My boyfriend & I came into Legends 4 years ago & decided to visit again last week (since we had such a great time the first time). We walked in & Ed greeted us. He was super friendly and he made us amazing drinks. We stayed for about 2 hours just drinking & hanging out. I strongly suggest you pay this bar a visit! read more

This is a cool spot to go and chill. It got the local dive bar feel. The atmosphere is real cool. The bar tender was on point and was able to handle the wild. Ordering my table was throwing at him. Will be definitely stopping there every time we are in the area. read more

Oh how we love this bar! It's not a complete visit to the Central Coast if we don't stop at Legends. We've been going there for years and it never disappoints. Stella on draft? Check. Friendly bartenders? Check. Tipsy owner buying us drinks? Check. Giant Moose Head peering at the patrons from the wall? CHECK!! Other Legend's bar bonuses: There's a pizza joint (Sabetta's) next door with a window cut out at the end of the bar for ordering and food service (No, we don't have to leave the bar!!! Yahoo!!!). Jukebox, darts, billiards, bar-top video games, tabletop shuffle board. But you may not need any of those distractions.... ....Because there's those wonderful & friendly patrons, it never ceases to be a fun crowd. Boozers of all ages & walks of life. One moment you're toasting whiskey with a grizzled & leatherfaced sailor just passing thru town and the next moment reciting Irish poetry with a local doctor. This is one of our favorite bars....anywhere. Cheers to you Legends! read more

Big Ben, the bartender. The man, the myth, the legend! My girl and I came through, staying in Cambria. She'd never been to Morro Bay so we swung through, walked around for a bit and it was time for a cold beer and a shot. Stumbled across Legends. I'm a sucker for a good dive bar and this one didn't disappoint. Found a couple seats at the bar on a Saturday afternoon. Place was kinda dead at 2pm but all of a sudden, it started to get crackin! We sat there and chatted with Ben. Cool dude from Pittsburgh. We talked all kinds of shit and the dude even bought me a drink to keep us there for a few. We really appreciated his hospitality and cool demeanor. He can read the room, which I can dig. Hit this spot up if you want a good drink and a good time. We will be back! read more

Been visiting here for 2 years now and this place is very laid back during the day and is great, bartenders are very nice and drinks are good as well. read more

I'd leave 0 stars if I could... I understand y'all are busy.... That's okay! I won't even being to go into detail.. But have some bartenders that have some class.. and even more importantly a manger... we came from Pennsylvania to have a good time and meet people that have some class, but we didn't get that coming to this place.. you guys seriously need to grow up and learn how to not drink on the job and actually treat paying customers decent read more
