North Bar

Is this bar rentable to host a show (bands/dj)? I have my own PA but don't have lights.

They sure are. As soon as this virus mess is over call the bar and ask for Mike.

Hi! Do they play country music?

They do play some.. not only country but also older rock hits

Do they sell food?

No, but there's a great Mexican spot next door and you can order there and they bring it to the bar for you.

This is your down-to-earth, drama free, mellow bar with kind patrons and cool bartenders. I've met a man twice my age and at the end of the night we were crying together. I've had duck Deviled eggs that I presume a regular brought in. I've sat on Santa's lap and I don't remember much after that. My point is: always a good time here and that's what makes 5 points my favorite dive bar in Escondido. If you're prissy or abhor the smell of cigarettes this probably isn't your scene.

Halfway into my meal, her n the boyfriend are yelling at each other, bickering at him while he was eating his tacos. They go back in forth for a few minutes yelling profanity at eachother (B****, C***, A******). Then comes up to me while riled up saying I can't drink my medicated drink, keep in mind I drink this everyday at any other restaurant with no issues. It's literally water with a liquid medicine. She yells across at the hall while serving another customer with drinks, saying "I don't allow outside drinks in my bar". I've never had issues with the other waitress's. Regardless there's a way to approach customers in the facility, let alone with kids around. Sadly, based on other reviews, customer service is not it.

The internet still says it's open, but that hasn't been our experience. It might be a great place when it's actually open, but it's been pretty frustrating to make the trip more than once only to find it locked up tight. Hopefully they'll update their hours or post notices if they're unexpectedly closed.

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.

We ordered the classic burger with avocado and jalapeños and the mushroom Swiss with avocado, both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The ingredients taste fresh, the buns are soft and toasted just right, and everything comes together exactly how a great burger should. Even the fries are excellent--crispy and seasoned well. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the whole place has a great atmosphere. It's clean, open, and comfortable with a cool modern vibe that makes it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Every visit has been solid. If you're a burger fan, this place is a must.

The order was right and they didn't cause any scenes from when I was there. Everything was kept clean and there was no particular area that I felt the need to avoid or ask to clean up. The food was the main star of the show - especially the smokehouse burger/slider. The flavor was all there and the patty was juicy and just over all delicious. The grilled chicken club was a little dry, but it was in a slider version so I imagine that's bound to happen. The cheeseburger slider was good, but not amazing - patty was still cooked enough to be juicy, and it was enjoyable. The fries were yummy, but not out of this world. It's possibly because I'm not the biggest fan of steak fries, but I'd eat them again. Overall, a great place to stop by in the area and would definitely visit again to try other items. Will definitely look into what others enjoyed so I can try those too!

That's fine, but the interaction felt rushed and unwelcoming from the start. He mentioned not feeling well, but overall came across cold, disengaged, and like he didn't want to be there. On a separate visit, we were told we couldn't play music because he was already listening to something. Small moment, but it reflects the same issue. At this point, it's noticeable enough that we actively consider going elsewhere when he's working. It's hard to understand how someone who seems to dislike working with people is consistently front-facing. He brings the overall vibe down. We'll still come back, but the experience is noticeably better when he's not there.

I can proudly say I have tried quite a few things on the menu already and have not been disappointed. I'd say at this point my brother and I have been here over 5 times. We even brought our parents here twice already. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. My brother and I have done breakfast, lunch and dinner at this point. The first item I tried was the Sun-Dried Tomato Rigatoni. This was so creamy and delicious (later found out you cam add another meat). Which my mom tried her first time around with Salmon. She said it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. From that first pasta, I tried the March Month Special, I got the chopped cheese with no cheese (lactose intolerant) but man did I devour it so fast!! There tater tots never miss btw ALWAYS crispy. The Grilled Chicken Sando, mannn was thay superr good too. Chicken was juicy and always love me some avocado. I told my brother I am going to make it a priority to try everything I cam here. Also, the presentation on the plates ESPECIALLY the Fresno 1/2 Chicken *chefs kiss* The service is NEVER misses. Soo attentive no matter the time of day. Tony's drinks are UH-MAY-ZING. We had Mckellen as our server and he was great. The biggest shoutout to James (the owner) seems like he knows how to create a phenomenal work environment and keeps his people happy. We've seen him walk around often and checking in. You can definitely see thay he cares. I HIGHLY recommend coming here if you have the chance. Also, try the Espresso Martini my brother who is far from a coffee drinker even loves it!!
