BIERGARDEN @ ENCINITAS…read more Parking can be a little difficult since this spot is located right on the main strip in Encinitas. There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.

Santana Burger medium rare was 5 stars all the way, and the fruits that accompanied it were damn…read moregood as well. The Kern brewing Chuuuch IPA was also 5 stars for my taste buds. And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

I was even on the Leucadian Bar softball team for a season well I decided to stop by today to play couple games of pool I found out you can shoot pool for FREE on TUESDAYS also the pool players that go there are serious fun players. 2 badass players Cindy K &Bracc(I hope I got their names correct?) impressed the hell out of me with their pool playing&I also enjoyed the conversations. I WILL go back for more of that fun real soon. I have to SHOUT OUT to the bartender Clair as well she had the bar looking clean she was kind and accommodating.

I had one of the best Old Fashioneds I have had, super smooth with a hint of coconut. I also brought home a breakfast burrito and loco moco for dnner.

Even reheated it was delicious, perfectly cooked egg over a bed of rice, juicy patty all smothered in a rich brown gravy. I also grabbed a few chocolate cookies, they tasted like crispy brownies and were huge. They have live music and the decor inside out outside is fun, staff is welcoming and super nice. Plenty of seating inside, outside and even a side patio. Have to make it out again for the live music and happy hour. Close to the freeway too!

Well seasoned and with lots of accompaniments. Amazing for the price. The burger was very thin like a fast food burger. But came with lots of fries and a salad. Our odd experience was it took 45 minutes to get our food and the restaurant was only half full. (Yesterday at 5:20) and there were plenty of servers. Our server said nothing until we asked about 35 minutes after ordering. (Said something about working on take out orders. ) We didn't see food being delivered to other tables during much of that time. In spite of that I think if you're selective you can get decent food at a surprisingly low cost. More of a 3.5 but an extra half point for the RB.

Although Google maps was instructing us to take a U turn and park in the spaces on the street in front, those were all taken. A little wonky on the start as there was no host or hostess and just busy servers or bartenders. A server told us to sit anywhere and a server named Nick came out to take our order. Hubby's favorite is a sangria and I took a sip. Just perfect on the last summer weekend of July. Although Mexican or Hawaiian style flavors is their thing, as a first timer wanted to try something fairly simple- a burger and truffle fries. (Side note- the iron in a beef patty is good for me since recently donating a pint of blood!) Very good burger and fries! Hubby chose the chilaquiles which was also very tasty! The carne asada was on the chewy side though. Nick was a nice and attentive server. Great vibes here! We would return whenever visiting Encinitas!
