**LOCAL GEM** If you need a relaxing spot to take a break during your visit to Avila Beach, this is it. Quieter and less chaotic than the other spots on Front St, PierFront has super friendly service and a prime oceanfront patio that is dog friendly. They have a great selection of local wine & draft beers, and their light fare food menu is actually pretty decent and reasonably priced considering the tourist destination. They also had some live music going on that added to the overall good vibes here. Lots of friendly locals and visitors alike amongst the guests. We'll definitely be back for a weekday happy hour! read more

I wish we could give feedback on anything other than service... My husband and I were so much looking forward to having a nice glass of wine on the beach, but were unexpectedly met with them closing 25 minutes early so that the bartender/manager (?) could go home early to her baby... Or so she said. Only to sit and watch her and the server come out to the patio and sit down with the guest that were inside at the time and enjoy visiting and hanging out with them. We were waiting for our Lyft that we had ordered thinking that they closed at 8:00, so we would have our ride pick us up at 8:00. Silly us! So disgusted and disappointed with the absolute rudeness and disregard for service. read more

Fun place to try on a Wednesday night, for their "Trivia Night." It gets kinda packed so get there early to get a spot. Bartender was super sweet, and we liked the wine/food we ordered. Nachos are great, flatbread is okay, and spinach dip is good. The trivia-very difficult, lots of unique categories. Would come back again. read more

We stopped here for a bottle of sparkling wine. It was a beautiful outside so we grabbed a table outside and took in the ocean view. Services staff was friendly and didn't hover over you, which we appreciated. read more

Stopped here to grab a drink before dinner. Cute spot with a great view. I didn't love the sangria however. They have a ton of wines available! I'd rec that instead. Great service. There was one gentleman working and he was friendly and very helpful! read more

Un-WINE-ding in this laid back place. Came by on a busy sunny Saturday and had a great time. We tried the different wines they had and relaxed sitting on the pier while people past by. They also had live music playing which added to the relaxation. Loved this place! read more

Such a cute beach vibe with awesome refreshing food. We had a flatbread which was exquisite and my friend had tacos and I had the beach bowl which I absolutely loved. It was a healthy but filling dish. You order your food at the counter so it's not where they wait on you but they were very friendly and we didn't mind that. read more

On a staycation for our anniversary, my other half (and fur kids) visited one of the best wine bars in our county. Right on the boardwalk at Avila, complete with Ocean views, sits Pierfront Wine and Brew. On a hot day, I HIGHLY recommend one of their Frose's, I opted for the watermelon flavor. SO refreshing and light!! My husband opted for a cold beer, and we shared a charcuterie board. They also had some sandwich options and flatbreads. In addition to beer and wine, they also had several varieties of mimosas. To top it off, they are pet friendly and even provided some dog treats for our boys (and there was a water bowl for one up the pups on the patio). Service was great and friendly, with Parker taking great care of us today. They definitely continue to earn the title of one of the best local wine bars we have in SLO county. read more

Visiting Avila Beach for the weekend and I was recommended this wine & brew. It was a pleasant and small spot ~ pretty packed and busy actually! There seemed to be a lot of medium sized parties~ maybe it's because the seating arrangements included high chairs, tables, and sofas! My friend and I enjoyed ourselves a glass of the Zinfandel and the spinach artichoke. We luckily caught the last day of the Avila summer farmers market~ so we had prime spot people watching and "pre-gaming" for our dinner right next door :) Don't forget to check in to this spot! There's a Yelp 10% off! read more

I absolutely love this place been going for a month to do trivia every Wednesday at 6:30. Meeting new people, staff is great and helpful and kind it feels like hanging out with family. Always welcomed and feel loved here. Also the place is by the beach and always clean. read more

This place was perfect to watch the sunset while enjoying drinks with family. We're all young, 30-something's couples that had a good time in this quiet venue. It was perfect to play some of the games they have behind the bar. It clean and had nice decorations. They also had blankets! (My GF is ALWAYS cold). The bartender was nice and prompt. Good selection of canned beer and maybe 6 taps. read more

Had a great time at Pierfront enjoying a comedy show with some friends. Small venues are wonderful!

Really great location. Went here for a drink and a cheese board based on prior Yelp reviews. Got a tiny $19 cheese plate with no crackers that looked like a half portion of previous Yelp reviews with pics of the cheese boards. Served with one cheap store bought valentine cookie and 3 white chocolate coated pretzels (please don't tell me these were the bread substitutes ). Maybe this is the new normal but it suuuuucks. The frozen drink my wife had was OK, the beer selection was pretty poor given the name (deschutes ipa? Can't get a local ipa on draft? Pretty commercial offering). This place could have been so much better, but I guess the location does them good enough read more

Nice selection of wines and beers, love the artichoke spinach dip. Great views too. Worth a visit .

Our first time visiting after enjoying a couple hours at beautiful Avila Beach. The ambience is a nice coastal wine bar feel. Amazing oceanfront view which paired nicely with the glass of wine and tasty Italian panini which was perfectly grilled. The server was pleasant and friendly, too. read more

Such a great and welcoming environment. The staff and owner are super chill and friendly. They offer a variety of drinks and have a great select of beer on tap. The food was a lot better than you would expect at reasonable prices. Most of the other surrounding bars and restaurants are over priced and not cool. But pierFront wine and brew is definitely a hidden gem. Try the pork belly breakfast burrito your tastebuds will thank you. read more

We love coming here for our weekend getaway!! Service is incredible and atmosphere is always inviting. We brought a big group of friends to celebrate a bday and they were so accommodating! All our friends had a great time; they have rotating beers and wine so there's something for everyone! They also gave small bites & super comfortable seating with an incredible view of the beach. They have board games and coloring book too if you just want to sit back and unwind. Love supporting small business like this spot because they do so much to make you feel comfortable. This is our 4th time and we can't wait to come back! read more
