    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!

    Round 1 was 2 glasses of red wine, that my husband paid $22 for. Round 2 was the same 2 glasses of red wine, that I paid $30 for. The menu on the wall says local wines are $11-$13..... guess my husband should have got both rounds....

    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 the music was completely outdated, but it kept everybody dancing on the floor.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.

    We loved Eleven Twenty-Two, what a unique and fun experience. Hidden off the square behind Pappy…read moreMcGregor's in downtown Paso, this speakeasy has quite the entry process. First, you line up at the entrance, then you ring the doorbell, but only once as the sign warns. You are greeted through a peekaboo window in the door where they ask your party size. You are then taken in groups of three or less to a vestibule where they lock down your phones so you can't take any pictures and then you are seated in the dark and moody atmosphere. They don't split checks, so be ready to order as a group. There's a 90 minute time limit as well, so don't dawdle. Highlights of our order included the Butter Pecan Old Fashioned (so good!) and the Banana Daiquiri. We stayed for the full 90 minutes and when we left there was a long line waiting to get in. Go early if you want to get one of the few seats inside or be prepared to wait. We loved our experience.

We arrived just minutes after 5pm on a Thursday, with only one group ahead of us -- about a 5-minute wait before we were ushered in. They do check IDs, so bring one, or find somewhere else to drink. After the secret knock and moving a book in the entryway library, the door opens into a 1920s-style bar: heavy, dark wood, and very limited seating, with just 8 seats at the bar and two larger seating areas for groups. I believe our bartender's name was Matt -- the last of the original employees since Eleven Twenty-Two opened eight years ago. He was great, walking my girlfriend through the menu when she asked for recommendations, and sharing some great insight when we asked about the bar's history and the mixology behind the drinks. She started the evening with a Mexican Firing Squad -- very margarita-like, with tequila, lime, house-made grenadine, and Angostura. I wasn't quite as adventurous and wanted to keep things simple, so my first round was a martini, stirred and dry. The fun didn't stop there, since we had 90 minutes to relax before our dinner reservation. Round two was a Slow and Foamy -- a lemongrass- and fennel-infused vodka with egg white. It was an interesting drink; flavors you wouldn't expect to work together, worked together beautifully. It's an in-house creation by the female bartender, whose name I didn't catch. Torn between a Sidecar and a Manhattan, I went with the Sidecar, since I hadn't found a good one anywhere else in Paso. Matt poured a really nice one -- not too sweet, with a sugar-rimmed glass and well-balanced simple syrup. Like every drink that night, it was beautifully balanced. We finished with a Banana Daiquiri -- their unique take on the drink, without the slushy ice or fake banana flavor. This was probably the best drink of the night for both of us, and we shared it. It's not cheap, but a night out for drinks never is. That wouldn't stop me from bringing out-of-town guests here -- they'd love this kind of historical, speakeasy-style setting. I really appreciated the staff's attention and professionalism. We had a great time. Thanks, Eleven Twenty-Two!

The pacing of service was good. There were the right amount of people dining and drinking at the bar and tables to give the spot a good energy. The only downside was that they only serve wine by the glass. We would have brought our own bottle and paid the $15 corkage if we had known.

From the moment we started working with Amy and her team, we knew we had chosen the right place to celebrate such an important day. We were the first full wedding that The Backyard on 13th had hosted. You honestly never would have known it. The amount of care, attention to detail, patience, organization, and professionalism that Amy and her team showed throughout our wedding was incredible. They handled everything with such confidence and made the entire experience feel seamless. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and has so much character. It gave us the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, photos, and reception, and our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the space. We loved that it felt intimate, warm, and personal while still giving us the flexibility to bring our own vision to life. Amy and her entire team went above and beyond what was expected of them. They were incredibly attentive, patient, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be. They didn't just provide us with a beautiful venue -- they made us feel cared for throughout the entire process. One of the things that meant the most to us was how incredible they were with our kids. We had several children who were an important part of our wedding, and The Backyard had a staff member specifically designated to tend to the kids during the reception. This was such an amazing and thoughtful touch. It allowed us to actually relax, enjoy our reception, and be present in the moment without constantly worrying about whether our kids were okay. Knowing they were being looked after by people who were so kind, patient, and attentive made a HUGE difference for us. Your wedding day goes by so quickly, and having a team that you can trust makes all the difference. We never felt like we were just another event on their calendar. Amy and her team made us feel like our wedding genuinely mattered to them, and that is something we will always remember. We are so grateful to The Backyard on 13th, Amy, and the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special. They played such a huge part in creating memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. What started as a relationship with our wedding venue turned into something so much more -- Amy and her team have truly become more like family to us, and we feel incredibly lucky that our wedding brought these amazing people into our lives. If you are considering The Backyard on 13th for your wedding or special event, DO IT! We would wholeheartedly recommend them.

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

The restaurant is right in the heart of downtown Paso Robles, making it an easy stop if you're exploring the area. We had reservations through OpenTable and arrived a little early. They seated us within a few minutes, and although outdoor seating was available, it was around 97°, so we were happy to wait for an indoor table. The inside has a really cool Spanish hacienda vibe with rustic wood beams, warm lighting, and plenty of unique décor to take in. It's a fun space with lots of character and is connected in the back to the tiki bar next door, making it easy to continue the evening with a drink. The atmosphere was lively without being overly loud, and we really enjoyed the classic '80s music playing softly in the background. The oysters were fresh and very good. My wife ordered the ceviche and enjoyed it. I had the hanger steak salad--it was decent, but I'd probably skip the beets next time and order something different. Overall, the food was good, but it didn't quite rise to the level of "great." Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, Fish Gaucho is worth a visit for its downtown location, unique Spanish-inspired atmosphere, and solid food. While there are probably stronger culinary options in Paso Robles, we'd happily come back to enjoy the ambiance, check out the connected tiki bar, and sample a few different menu items.
