The Pour House

Have visited this place a number of times over the years on trips up and down 101, usually to try to visit whichever brewery was operating out of the back. This rating is for the bar/venue itself. I've never eaten here or seen a show, just grabbed a beer or two. They have a nice patio area out front, but it always seems to be 100 degrees when I visit, so I don't sit out there. Tap list is generally good, though not amazing. Most recent visits have been largely focused on Paso/other Central Coast breweries like Firestone, Barrelhouse, Central Coast, Silva, etc. Service and pricing are decent. Might as well stop in if you're visiting Silva Brewing.

New Pour House on Pine Street. Stopped by during a conference. Friendly people. Most regulars are wine industry people looking for an afterwork beer. Full of regulars. Local beers fill the taps (probably 20 or so of them). Good atmosphere, front patio. Street parking. Stop by if you are staying in town and are tired of wineries. If you are only driving through, go to FW.

I swear I closed this place, why is it still open? Firestone bought the property and uses it for offices now. The Pour House is now operating out of Paso Robles Brewing Company down the street.

Have to give some props to our neighbors at the Pour House. A small tap selection that is always rotating, and a bigger bottle selection that is also available to go. Pool, and live music much of the time in the evening. By far the best beer spot in northern SLO county.
