    For bar food it is absolutely fantastic. Get the lamb burger end of discussion.... The fries are also really good

    Chicken Caesar

    Ok this place is a gem. I cannot get enough of how sweet the staff was and how amazing the food was. Not to mention they accommodate dogs in two different patios. Ryland was our server and is a national treasure. She helped serve us and our extra needs with ice for our dog due to the heat. The food was amazing. It was hearty and hit the spot well. The area is a perfect spot to hit for their nice dining options for indoors and outdoors and kind staff.

    Corned Beef

    Traveling for work and decided to pop in here for dinner. Glad I did!!! I ordered the corned beef and cabbage plate. It was delicious! I sat at the bar and everyone was very friendly that works there. Lighting was perfect for the time of day and the restaurant stayed busy. Wine is good price. I would highly recommend when in town

    5/5 Stars Had such a great time at Pappy McGregor's! This place gives off total Irish pub vibes--even though I've never been to Ireland, it feels like the real deal. I started with a whiskey sour, and wow--it was incredible. You can tell they use egg whites because of that silky foam top. It was one of the best I've had. I also did a pickleback shot (Jameson followed by pickle juice), which is always a favorite of mine, and they nailed it. For food, I ordered the tomato bisque soup, and it was next-level. The croutons were perfectly seasoned and crunchy, and it came with a grilled cheese sandwich that had crispy melted cheese on the outside of the bread--so flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere here is awesome--cozy, lively, and welcoming. There's a separate bar area if you're just grabbing drinks, and they also offer patio seating, which is a nice option on warm evenings. The staff was super friendly and everything felt really well-organized. I even ended up buying some merch--a hoodie for me and a trucker hat for my partner. Both are great quality and a fun way to remember a great night. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Paso Robles and looking for a laid-back, delicious, and fun experience.

    Short Rib Jalapeño Burger with Garlic Fries
    Jesse G.

    First time here and love that they're open later than most places in this area. The waiter and bartender were cool and made the experience fun. Short Rib Jalapeño Burger 5/5: seriously delicious. The beer cheese smothering the burger was phenomenal. If there had been an egg on top, this would have been dangerous. Garlic Fries 5/5: garlicky just how I wanted with a snap to them like a baby carrot Guinness 4/5: they use this really cool laser to create designs on top of the foam. Unfortunately it leaves a taste that is not pleasant. Overall, would definitely recommend. Great food and great atmosphere.

    If you haven't tried Pappy's yet, go now! It's one of my fav Irish pubs and always my first stop when I visit the area. Everything on the menu is great and the staff is always on it. I usually sit in the bar (they have both high and low tables), they do have a dining room, and another back area with seating. I recommend coming early as they get busy. Lunch deals M-F 11am-3pm. Happy Hour: M-F 3-6pm Late night Happy Hour: Sun-Thur 9-11pm

    Always a good place to have a bite. The portions are great and everything tastes freshly cooked. We also come for the lunch specials that are fairly priced.

    While spending the weekend in Paso Robles visiting the wineries, of course you have to go to the town Square. Everyone says so! This place was recommended by a couple of friends so we made sure to stop in for lunch before we left town and boy did it not disappoint. The food was delicious with a great menu. Our server was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. I'm so bummed. It has a great pub atmosphere! And the drinks are great as well!

    Barley burger
    Grace M.

    I liked it a lot. The service was good and food was great. Onion rings were perfect. Very large portions, particularly for the chicken pot pie and fish and chips. Casual and relaxed pub. Had a lot of cool decorations inside. Cool Guinness decor.

    Food is amazing, town is cute. Love the theme of the pub and was seated very quickly . Very cute with friendly staff.

    Lamb burger
    Erin G.

    Finally popped in here for dinner and we were beyond surprised with the amazing quality of food and cocktails as well as service! The lamb burger, pub burger, French onion soup and corned beef were on point!!! The craft cocktails were awesome too!!!

    How late is the kitchen open for late evening grazing (on Sunday 12/29/24)?

    Our kitchen closes at 9pm. But we offer personal pepperoni pizzas after the kitchen closes made by our bartender.

    Will you have the us vs England game on Friday?

    Sorry, no we will not.

    Do you have outside seating for cigar smoking?

    Hi we do have a outdoor rear patio that we allow cigar smoking after dinner service 9pm or later Sunday-Thursday nights. Friday/Saturday nights we do not allow due to the large late night crowds we get.

    Do you guys do delivery?

    Hi, no we don’t. There is a local company called Fetch, that will pick up orders for you and deliver. But we don’t work with any companies like Uber Eats or Grubhub.

From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's passion project. The intimacy of the setting made it special right away--small group, shared experience, and a level of attention you just don't get in a traditional dining environment. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, it delivered. The food was the clear star--clean, intentional, and incredibly well-executed. Every dish felt like it had a purpose. The steak and mushrooms were a standout, and dessert was right there with it. The wine pairings introduced us to bottles we wouldn't normally find or order ourselves, which added to the experience. If anything, I would've loved even more storytelling around the pairings--how and why each wine was chosen to complement the dish--but that's a small note in an otherwise incredible night. What really elevated the evening was the host's passion. You can feel it in how the food is prepared, how the evening flows, and how guests are brought into the experience. It's not just dinner--it's connection, storytelling, and craftsmanship all rolled into one. If you're looking for something beyond a typical night out--something more curated, more personal--this is absolutely worth it. A memorable night all around.

It was fine, but it lacked the depth and excitement that the wine brought to the table.

It was great to see how they have added to the space and now have room for multiple functions! There's a huge outdoor dining patio with a coffee pick up bar. There's a an indoor dining area where you order your food at a counter. There's also the Club Car Bar with its own separate room. I remembered that Pig Iron sando was good. My husband ordered the Pig Iron. I went for two smoked chicken, Cowboy Tacos, and our friend got a burger. We topped it all off with onion rings. It's the kind of place that you order at a counter in the Merchandise room, then take a buzzer to your table. We commandeered a large booth in the fairly small dining room. It has maybe eight or 10 tables. There is are a couple lounge chairs by the fireplace, which is very cozy on a cool day. By the time our food was ready, the dining room was full. That Pig Iron pulled pork sando is worth the trip! The meat is super tender, and the sauce is piquant and not too spicy. Topped with cole slaw, it is a perfect lunchtime meal. Burger was also nicely done kind of a smashed burger. The tacos were aptly named Cowboy Tacos, as I felt that they were gringo tacos. They were bland, since they didn't have sauce on them and the chicken was in tiny chunks and not shredded. The onion rings were crispy and fun to dunk in the Ranch dressing. We hunkered down cowboy style and enjoyed our meal, talking about about outer space and the moon trip while enjoying our food in the cozy ambience of an evocative historic setting!
