Fun college bar atmosphere, but did have a few older people mixed in. The only real complaint I had was the single toilets, especially after a few pints my bladder shrinks the size of a walnut so I always had an eye on the potty door. A friendly young waitress with pigtails came along quickly with Beer menus printed on colored paper. The list had some interesting stuff, but not too many that made my jaw drop. Compared to places like Toronado or O’Briens’ I guess this place is more second tier, but they did cover a lot of ground, they seemed to have something for everyone. They had a few crappy imported lagers but not to the detriment of local brews. Our waitress gave us sound advice, and I think she brought me a free sample just to be sure. She came to check up on us every once and a while and chitchatted. Beers tasted fine, so turnover and cleanliness of the tap lines doesn’t seem to be an issue here. Overall a good place to stop in the area, I’d hang out there often if I were a local.

Great beer bar! Their Web site isn’t up to date, so don’t underestimate their selection. When I was there they had loads of goodies on tap (Bigfoot, Old Foggy, Old Rasputin, Racer 5, etc.) An awesome selection of bottles too (Maredsous, Chimay, Aventinus, etc.) Our waitress was extremely enthusiastic about beer and enjoyed talking with other beer nerds. She might even join up on this site because she was so excited that there’s a community of beer lovers out here. Needless to say, this is, by far, the best beer bar in SLO. If you’re still thirsty afterwards, Sandy’s Deli-Liquor is right around the block.
