Stopped here after work to meet up with some people for happy hour. Great outdoor seating and views for days. I have been in this vicinity before but the outside chairs and fire pits have given it and instant ambiance boost. The cocktails are good and made by smiling jovial bartenders. I would suggest meeting up here more often for those warm summer nights. My friend d had the grilled cheese and it was really good with apples and sautéed onions. I tried a french fry and it was super crispy coated. read more

The setting is cool, but the man behind the bar with the beard is weird and makes you feel uncomfortable. The man is snarky and disrespectful. We came in asking for a drink and the bartender asks for my ID without even saying words, instead he just makes weird motions as if I am expected to ID myself on command with no words? Weird and socially awkward guy, I would come back if they had staff that knew how to voice words to politely ask for an ID read more

Perfect hidden gem! We enjoyed sandwiches and cocktails for a late lunch. I can't pass up a tuna melt and Mulligan's didn't disappoint. With that I had a blood orange margarita. Although refreshing it isn't something I'd order again. My husband ordered the turkey club. He said it was 4/5 but the fries were the star of the lunch tray. 5 out of 5. The outdoor seating area is spread out with plenty of seating, lots of shade and a great view of the ocean. I felt like I was having a picnic on the beach minus the sand. read more

Best grilled tacos I've had in a long time. The cream sauce was to die for. Fresh and delicious. My son thought the fish and chips were ok. He likes splash cafe better. Great outdoor seating area with ocean views. read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Bartenders are nice. Can't add photos of my food because I ate it instantly!!!!!!

Fish Tacos w Jalepeno Cream is full of flavor and heat! Wide selection and menu is updated often. Beautiful venue, eat inside or out. read more

Great casual friendly local vibe. All staff were friendly, skilled, service minded, helpful and good communicators. Food was plentiful, delish, quick and reasonably priced too....much appreciated. Also, ample free parking and not too crowded, lots of outdoor seating and great fire pits to warmed up around. Even though I've lived here 25 years, I feel like I found my new hang-out place to meet up with friends. read more

Very slow service. Asked for steak to be medium (just pink inside) The 1st time it was served after 45 minutes. The steak was very rare. Sent it back to be cooked to medium. It came back 20 minutes later and was still rare! Waitress was very understanding and apologetic. We said it's not your fault. We did not want to send it back again so she took the rare steak back and removed it from our bill. Wait staff great. Cooking very poor. read more

Soo disappointed. Had cod fish tacos and it was 2 tacos that looked like thin fish sticks with some cabbage on it and no sides for $14.00 they tasted awful, all dried out and I threw them in the garbage. I also got sweet potato fries for $9.00 that had this red spice over them and mushy texture. Both way to spicy. I guess the idea is with the over spicy food you will drink more. I had to drink so much water after tasting both and threw both away. The worse value for $24.00 I ever spent. I didn't try anything else on the menu and won't in the future. I luv the outdoor space but the food I will pass. The service/waitstaff was good. read more

We ate here last night. Food was good. My only complaint is someone brought their dog in the restaurant and it was walking everywhere. Standing next to us wanting food and going under our table all around our feet. Walking all over the restaurant. Didn't feel very sanitary. Outside atmosphere was nice, wanted to sit by a fire pit to listen to music but several of them were out of service so we just left. read more

Great place to gather and listen to live music. Friendly service and easy parking, too. read more

Stopped here on our bike ride to watch Sunday football and have a drink, it was a little busy, but that was expected for a weekend. 4 girls behind the bar, 2 on their phones. We decided to sit at the bar top thinking we might just get a little service since at the bar, as there were a couple people in line. Nope. Went up and ordered drinks that she then proceeded to serve to us sitting at the bar. My husband finished his 1st beer and again thought she would serve us at bar since no line, but had to go to register anyway. BTW, we had an open tab. So drink #3 my husband decided to go up and order a cheeseburger for us to split (he told her we were going to split in fact), she asked for his name for the order, sat back at bar where she served him his beer. Heard his name called, he walked around and didn't see where to pickup food, sat back down thinking it wasn't him and they would surely bring food to us. Mind you, all other orders where people were sitting down inside they delivered their food to them at their tables. Again, open tab, sitting AT bar. They called again and we found that our burger was in a to go container. The server literally said, oh I thought you wanted it to go. Agaim, open tab, sitting at the bar. The manager then asked if we wanted napkins as she handed us the container. Uh, yes, we are eating a burger! Wouldn't one need napkins regardless? The worst customer service. We planned on staying to watch game but paid our tab and left. Burger & fries were fantastic, just the service needs improvement. The manager needs to go! read more

Toughest pastrami ever. Fried pickles were hohum and the online menu was inaccurate. The one thing that my wife wanted was no longer available. The setting is very nice though read more

Good burger, great seasoning on the fries. Call your name when the food is ready. A bit loud, but a fun place to stop and relax and eat. read more

This review will be mostly based on the vibe. You likely can't find a better place to relax. Big open lawns with shade, music, lawn chairs and fire pits, all right near the beach and downtown Avila. As for the food, the fries were absolutely delicious, ranch was watery. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and it was a little $$, but still tasty and the bun was light and fluffy. As someone who eats NHC a lot, this didn't seem like it was made the traditional way, but more of a fried chicken sandwich with hot sauce on it. As mentioned in other reviews, the vibe is great, the view is good, and the food is far above standard bar food. The menu is very extensive. I would definitely stop by if your looking for great place to relax for a bite or drink. read more

We went here last minute as we were looking for a sit-down restaurant to eat at in Avila when we realized another popular spot no longer offered sit-down breakfast service. To our dismay, this place also doesn't offer sit-down service. But we ordered anyway. The food was good, french toast, breakfast sandwich, and breakfast burrito were ordered in addition to a bloody mary. All were tasty! But the limits of counter order service earned it four stars instead of five. read more

We met friends for outdoor dining and cocktails in the evening in Adirondack chairs around propane fire pits. They had live music that night. I enjoyed a salad and my husband had their house-made clam chowder in a bread bowl. Both meals were generous portions and very good. They have a full bar with a variety of choices and a generous pour. The outdoor seating area is pretty and overlooks a neighboring bay and bridge. I would definitely return again when visiting the area. I would definitely recommend a visit her for a meal and/or cocktails. read more

Mulligans is great for what it is. It's like a golf course restaurant but the menu is really big and filled with upper level bar food. The outside seating and view is pretty good also. I've eaten here before while golfing, and this is my first time here just to eat. It's all been good. read more

The food here is nothing special (though I did really enjoy the sweet potato fries), but it is fine. The atmosphere, however, is where it shines. Gorgeous views, live music, fire pits, and free games from pool and table shuffleboard to cornhole. Fun for the whole family. read more

Super friendly bartender, Professional and quick that what I love about this place. Amazing views of Avila. Grab a drink order a snack and relax. read more

Limited hours and hours are not posted. Paper plates, plastic utensils, plastic cups, s&p packets, condiment plastic packets. So much single use plastic. Service was nice and food was average. read more

Food was fine. Tried taco's and chicken sandwitch but nothing really special. You would order and wait for the food. The tables are out with shade. There was live music and the environment was pretty chill and 5 stars for that. Parking was hard to find. In short, you want something good and enjoy live music go for it. read more

A real hidden gem in Avila Beach. Located on the Avila Beach Golf Course, Mulligan's is a terrific place to have lunch or cocktails. They've recently changed their menu and although it was good before, it's even better now. The four of us ordered Fish & Chips, Pastrami Sandwich, Mulligan Burger, Fish Tacos and Fried Pickles. Everything was amazing, especially my son in law's burger. Their fries are the best. Shannon, Ivy and Emma are all terrific bartenders/servers. My wife and I often come to Mulligan's for an adult beverage or two. Mulligan's seems to have almost no social media presence even though it's been in business for years. I took a picture of the menu so others can see the tasty choices that are offered. Unsolicited advice: Mulligan's needs a website.....most locals that we know are surprised when we bring them...they had no idea Mulligan's was there and are pleasantly surprised. read more

Can I just start with Megan is amazing, so lovely and the drinks would come back just for her! But the entertainment was adorable and the wings are definitely worth mentioning along with the rings, pastrami sandwich!!!! Definitely will be back read more

A hello goes a long way. So, we have a the share in the area. We love Avila Beach and can't wait to come back for our week. We are locals so we also come during the year. We have heard from others to try this place...to say we were disappointed is an understatement. We sat for 10 minutes without being greeted and will not be returning. #wedidntmissmuch read more

Good food great atmosphere and views good people and bands every time we go zzzzzxxnnjj

The Avila golf course in mulligans to a good job. I love their big open, expensive patio and grassy area with fire pits and shade. Sometimes they have music outside. The big menu has lots of great choices. Wines and draft beee! Great people too. read more

I really enjoy their deep rough wrap with sweet potato fries. It tastes fantastic, it's everything I want in a wrap plus it comes with a Chipotle dipping sauce that is super good for both the wrap and the fries. The staff is always smiling and super friendly, I've had nothing but really good experiences at Mulligan's. They also have wonderful outdoor seating where you can get your own private fire pit and chat with your friends. Oh yeah, there's also the ocean view, hahaha, almost forgot that! read more

Combine an outside ocean view with a rich menu (including breakfast all day, salads, burgers, sandwiches, taco, etc.) and spacious outdoor Covid-19 conditions and you have a winner. While seated in the adirondack chairs near the bar/ordering area, the music on the outdoor speakers might have been a bit loud, but the food and values were good. It's a great place to also enjoy a drink with the beach in the distance. We appreciated that the help was conscientious in sanitizing tables and chairs after folks left. When you add in the friendly service, we were glad we found Mulligans! read more

Megan was an exceptional bartender and the beet salad was awesome. The service was great and the location was beautiful. Definitely coming back for sure!!!! read more

This is a great spot for food and a nice drinks but it's also a great spot to relax and be by the beach. It's usually pretty busy but the atmosphere is fun and not overwhelming. Service has always been great here too. read more

We love Mulligan's, great food, drinks, and atmosphere, but we were taken aback and made to feel like criminals this last visit. We often attend the music events, and always buy food and cocktails. We know no outside food or drinks are allowed. At Sundays music event we had someone come over to our table and actually sniff our friends water bottles, to make sure their wasn't any booze in them. Plus, after the event, a staff member came by our table and mentioned they had been looking at our bag, and checked it. Really? It's our bag with our dog food, water, and treats in it. Sorry to say, but this continues, we'll probably stop going. :-( read more

One of the best hotdogs I've ever had in my life. Great people and views. Highly recommend.

Ick. Food was awful. I hate Indian food and everything we had had that spice flavor. Buffalo chicken wings??? Really??? Chicken skewers also. Hated the spice. Daou Sauvignon Blanc was only saving grace. Ick. Never going back. read more

With the post covid prices, ordered the chicken skewers special and it came with NO peanut dipping sauce as promised. No, I did NOT point it out to them, it is what it is. The "cucumber slaw" had little or no cucumber in it, and it wasn't all THAT. Besides, the radishes were sliced so thin as to have little flavor: but it LOOKED like alot of radish due to the round surface area. Only ten bucks but small portion. BTW, the chicken was good: it was breast, but not overcooked, which takes talent. But it is hard to screw up chicken. read more

Mulligan's serves good food with a fantastic view of the beach and ocean in Avila. The service was friendly and quick.

Food wasn't necessarily great but the live music and atmosphere is worth going back. Big open space. You order at the counter and then find a seat yourself. Right on the water in Avila. A cool spot where you could hang for a few hours and get drinks or listen to the music after your meal. read more
