There are better places. Lousy cocktails, lousy atmosphere and, most of all, lousy owners.

We played a couple games of pool, enjoyed some great beers on tap, and got to pick our own music through their TouchTunes jukebox.

Let me just preface this by saying, I knew 'jack diddley' about this place till my cousin took me…read morethere, so I owe her all the thanks and praise for that. Then, of course, one would need to thank the bar for their drinks and presentations, which are awesome. You need a bit of showmanship to perform and serve at a place like this. Ok, here we go. Tucked away on a back street in Paso lies this interesting and very amazing venue. I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams going to a place like this, let alone what was inside. To be honest, I at first felt like I was entering the twilight zone, the first time I came here. In the back of my mind, I was thinking, " Is this what it felt like going to something like this during prohibition times? Now, in this post, I will not share all about your entrance, etc., into this place, as that takes the fun out of it, but I must add that if you are in the Paso area, this is a must on your list. Let's go back and recreate yesteryear, a very intimate and very exclusive, club-like atmosphere. You never know who is watching you; it's all that mystery. Does it feel a bit like the game CLUE"? You tell me. :-) Just remember this: speak easy, abide by their rules, speak quietly, and have fun!

No phones allowed, so you are completely free from distractions and can completely enjoy the intimate experience. We went shortly after opening hours, as we did not have a reservation. Our wait was short and we were soon seated at the bar enjoying our signature cocktails. Love the atmosphere and the fact they are using cocktail smokers and absinthe fountains in front of you. I can see why The 1122 is considered to be in the top 50 speakeasy bars. A must visit and cool experience in Paso Robles.

Nighttime Oasis Between SF and LA Street Side Alehouse &…read moreEatery -- Paso Robles 5/1/26 -- 5/5 We rolled into Paso Robles after 9 p.m. on a Friday night, post-work, post-Oakland traffic, post-that special California highway hypnosis where your soul has briefly left your body somewhere near King City and returned wearing sunglasses. Most places were closed. Hunger was no longer a condition; it was an animal. Then Street Side Alehouse appeared like a nighttime oasis between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Paso itself deserves a quick salute. For a town of roughly 25,000, it seems to have somehow negotiated with the restaurant gods and won. Downtown is charming, walkable, warmly lit, and centered around a city park that at night looks almost suspiciously pleasant--like Woodstock, Illinois and Santa Fe Plaza had a Central Coast baby and taught it manners. Inside Street Side: rustic wood, beer-barrel décor, a lively bar, and enough TVs to convince your attention span it had entered federal witness protection. Baseball, hockey, basketball, beer menus, interactive trivia, and--most importantly--the Dodgers losing on one screen, which for this lifelong Giants fan counted as complimentary dessert. Despite the packed house, the host/owner/possible Swiss Army knife of hospitality spotted two hungry outsiders and seated us quickly. No drama. No "kitchen's closing" death stare. Just calm, friendly competence. Our waitress was excellent: warm, sharp, sincere, professional, and blessed with the kind of personality that can make a tired traveler feel less like roadkill in camouflage shorts. Service: easy 5/5. Food became the main event. My lady wanted comfort food, and the Street Mac n Cheese delivered creamy, happy, elbow-pasta therapy in a little skillet. 4.5/5. The bacon-wrapped jalapeños were smoky, cheesy, spicy little danger logs with dipping sauce--very good, 4.4/5. The flank steak (chimichurri sp?) salad was colorful and fresh, though the steak itself was a bit tough, so call that a 3.5/5: respectable, but not the valedictorian. Then came my lamb burger: arugula, feta, aioli, and a giant stewed tomato wearing balsamic like it had just come back from a very emotional opera. Excellent. Messy in the right way. Rich, savory, satisfying. 5/5. The rosemary fries were crisp and solid, though I would've liked the rosemary to kick the door open a little harder. Cocktail-wise, I had an Old Fashioned that did exactly what an Old Fashioned should do after a long drive: lower the volume of civilization. My lady had a Cali Squeeze Blood Orange IPA and was happy. That matters. The whole night had that accidental-road-trip-magic quality where you look around and think: why have we driven between the Bay Area and Southern California hundreds of times and never treated Paso Robles like the strategic overnight masterpiece it clearly is? You can launch from here toward Santa Barbara, Monterey, Big Sur, Salinas/Steinbeck country, Fresno, Bakersfield, Sacramento, Stockton, even Death Valley if your GPS has a gambling problem. Street Side was the perfect late-night rescue: lively but not obnoxious, casual but not lazy, sports-bar energy without becoming a fluorescent punishment chamber, and food good enough to make two tired travelers feel like they had discovered a new California road-trip hack. Thank you, Street Side Alehouse & Eatery, for feeding us when we were starving, charming us when we were tired, and giving Paso Robles another reason to become a regular stop. 5/5. Absolute Friday-night save.

Let's start with first impressions. This place covers quite a bit of space, with tons of different…read moreseat setups throughout, from bench seating for large parties, to quaint seating in a circle, to intimate seating by the fire pit, to private seating in an outdoor lounge. This place has personality! The customer service from the chap taking our order was good and proper, unlike the bar north of here. We were happy to be given that amount of respect. They also provide donations to local charities that change with the season. Here's our order: Philly Cheese Steak. Very good. 4 out of 5. Could've been less dry overall. BBQ Burger was yummy. 4.5 out of 5. Bbq sauce was unique and smoky. Beef was cooked to a perfect medium well, but did not cover their yummy brioche bun as much. Pulled Pork Sandwich with Cole slaw on the side. 5 out of 5. The House Fried Kettle Chips are good, but we prefer their fries. They are thin sliced goodness, perfectly seasoned and very crispy. (Someone said their loaded fries are to die for.) Lastly, they are a bar as well, but gave off no weird sentiment when we said we did not want drinks. Mad respect for that! All in all, a balanced 5 out of 5 from us!

The outdoor seating gives it a fun, casual vibe, though it was pretty hot when we visited since there's no indoor option. We came with a large group and everyone ordered separately, which resulted in our food coming out at really different times--something to keep in mind if you're dining with others. Despite the timing issues, it's a solid spot for a relaxed meal if you don't mind the heat and aren't in a rush.

This was my second visit to Pappy McGregor's in about six months. It had been recommended by…read morefriends who live in the area, and my first experience was solid enough that I was looking forward to coming back. On my first visit (evening), we walked in without a reservation and were quickly seated at the last available table. The place had a lively atmosphere, and it looked like part of the space turns into more of a dance floor later in the night. I had the French onion soup, raw oysters, and the pot pie, all of which were good. The pot pie in particular is something I would recommend. This most recent visit was for lunch on a weekday. There were plenty of open tables, and we were seated right away. Parking was easy, which is typical outside of busy weekends. The experience this time around was more mixed. We wanted to order oysters Rockefeller, but they were completely out of oysters, which was disappointing. I ordered a black and tan, which tasted fine, but it came with a design on top that I wasn't expecting. Not a big deal, just different from what I had in mind. For food, my girlfriend ordered the blackened salmon and said it was good. I went with the corned beef and cabbage. The corned beef itself was flavorful and served over mashed potatoes, which were well done. The cabbage, though, wasn't what I expected. Instead of a more traditional preparation, it was grilled with char marks and topped with au jus. The texture came out a bit rubbery and didn't really absorb the flavor well, which made that part of the dish underwhelming. Service was okay but not great. My water ran empty at one point, and I had to ask for a refill. We also ordered boneless wings as an appetizer and asked for extra ranch, which didn't come out until we reminded the server. The biggest issue, though, was something I noticed from our table with a partial view into the kitchen. An employee had their shoe up on a shelf that appeared to be holding clean dishes, which didn't come across as sanitary. I also saw food being adjusted on a plate by someone who didn't appear to be the cook. I can't speak to what's happening behind the scenes in terms of handwashing or procedures, but visually, it raised concerns. That part of the experience honestly left a bad impression. Between that, the missed items, and some inconsistencies with the food, it changed how I feel about coming back. My first visit had me excited to return, but after this one, I'm not sure I would.
