    This place was awesome I got there to watch Sunday football. The bartender was awesome and welcoming. She said people getting there before 11 am could order pints and bloody Mary's for 5 bucks. Yummy. The crowd was great. A nice lady brought over Zucchini fresh bread she baked, the wonderful bartender ordered pizza and brought over slices to me personally. Great ambiance, service and people!

    Another one of my favorite live music spots in Paso Robles! Saw the Boys of Summer, an Eagles cover band, here and they were amazing (I hope they come back to play again soon)! Also went here for New Year's Eve, when Dante Marsh was playing and he was superb! Have seen Brass Mash here as well and they were of course great, per usual. They have an amazing outdoor venue space with a platform stage and lots of seating as well as a smaller indoor stage, indoor bar and a pool table. They do regular and VIP tickets, where you can secure a private table near the outdoor stage if you purchase the VIP tickets! They do trivia night and comedy nights also which is a lot of fun. There is a good variety of local seltzers, wine and beers on tap. As far as food, they don't serve food inside (bummer) but they typically have a Mexican taco truck outside which is usually serving yummy tacos, burritos, tortas and such! Service is decent, sometimes a bit hit or miss and not the most friendliest at times but the music makes up for it. Love this spot for live music and happy to have another great local live music venue!

    They charge you a corkage fee very low

    We were desperately trying to find some nightlife in Paso Robles on our last night. One of the bartenders at the Hatch restaurant that we were at said, go to the Pour House , they have a live band, and I think you might enjoy it. So we walked from our hotel short distance , we brought our own wine, we had just purchased from Austin hope.(thank goodness because they really did not have a good wine selection. It's more of a beer joint.) There is food, but I wouldn't recommend it . The band was lovely. It was a father daughter family band.. the music was completely outdated, but it kept everybody dancing on the floor. It's a very relaxing vibe . At one point there was a German Shepherd, out on the dance floor with his owner. Very limited, live music in Paso . So you take what you can get. We had a great time and FYI we were the youngest people on the dance floor, so we felt special.

    New showroom area!

    The Pour House is such a great local bar and music venue! We have always had great service and so much fun at this spot. With their new expansion, it makes the space even better! Theres so much more room, and it can accommodate a great crowd, even when it's raining. They get amazing bands to play there, both local groups and touring bands. I am grateful that we have a venue like this in our community. I highly recommend the Pour House!

    New Years Eve Extravaganza in the new Pour House music venue was amazing. So glad I got my tickets early as it was packed and im pretty sure capacity was reached. Bummer if you didn't make the proper arrangements cause the show was 10/10 for sure. Don't sleep on any show that you feel you might enjoy ,especially with the new and improved digs. The sound quality is amazing and the decor gives it that old style rock vibe. More tables and chairs ,upstairs VIP balcony ,lounge areas available to first come first serve customers and another service bar inside the music hall. Im looking forward to hearing The Young Dubliners this Sat 1/3/26. If you dont want to get turned away for capacity reasons get your tickets now.

    Pour House has the best selection of craft beer in town. Cool vibe, always clean and the best music venue in town. Oh, and stop in and see the Bill Stapley Band on November 30 from 2:00 to 5:00. You can't go wrong here.

    Stew is super fun... Can't help but have a great time when he's working.

    Great vibe, great music, great beer and great people... Assured to have a great time. The owner (Shawn Coppen) is a great guy who runs the bar with a fun friendly atmosphere. A true Midwest bar in the central coast of California. A great find for a former Ohioan...

From the purse hooks underneath (always such an appreciated detail) to the footrest the host offered so I would be comfortable on a bar stool to the mixologist who made the best drinks, our experience was 5 star. We had the smoked butter pecan old fashioned and a grasshopper (aka dessert in a glass) and both were the perfect exclamation point to a lovely evening! My husband appreciated the decor of tufted walls and the monkey sconces are a fun touch. All the details are perfect. Definitely visit if you're in town. No photos because they take your phones, but you can get one in the library before you enter if you ask. Cheers!

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!

    Fun atmosphere and good food!…read more Stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for the night. The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it!

    November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.

Here's how your breakdown lines up: Burger (main miss) --frozen patty, no crust, unmelted cheese, weak sauce--usually means: * Pre-formed frozen beef puck (not fresh ground) * Cooked on a grill instead of a ripping-hot flat top (so no smash crust or Maillard flavor) * Cheese added too late or heat too low to melt it properly * Sauce under-portioned or used as a light spread instead of a flavor layer Result: bland, dry, and flat tasting burger Mac & cheese That "pasta + runny cheese water" texture is a classic sign of: * Pre-boiled pasta sitting in liquid * Cheese sauce broken or watered down * Very little actual cheese base (often just milk + starch + seasoning) So yeah--more "pasta dish" than mac & cheese. Salad (surprisingly the win) Good olive oil + vinaigrette can carry a salad hard. That's usually the only thing that doesn't rely on heavy kitchen execution, so it makes sense it stood out. Fries (another win) Crispy, salted fries usually come from: * Proper double fry or high-temp fry oil * Frozen fries done correctly (ironically, frozen can still be great if cooked right) Pulled pork Cheap BBQ sauce + pre-cooked pork is pretty standard for mid-tier spots. Not amazing, but at least it has flavor, unlike the burger. Beer Hard to mess up--good call there. Overall read of the place This is the vibe I'm getting: * Strengths: fryer, sauces (salad dressing), bar program * Weaknesses: grill station, mac & cheese, burger execution * Kitchen style: "assembly + reheating" more than scratch cooking
