    SLO Brew was awesome. Their fish and chips were phenomenal! Jeff Bridges and the Abiders were a kick and lots of fun!!

    As of Oct 2010, known as "SLO Brewing Co". Has been one of THE best places to get your funk on. There's been a variety of dj talent, mostly good. Definitely more of an "urban" scene and feel.

    Pretty good burger but a little under seasoned. The tri tip salad was the star. Decent beer selection too

    Don't take a table in the middle of the floor later in the evening because they'll ask you to move!

    Really upbeat environment, don't try to order a burger in the late evening though.

    More of a tourist trap now, rather than a beloved local bar. Their beer is great though.

    Avoid the back of the stage if you want to leave as healthy as you came in...

    Unless you like waiting an hour for 5 with wings and a cold hot dog...avoid this place. The fries are ok and the beer is average. Thanks, but no thanks.

    We had garlic fries (very good) and a flight of their beers (bad). If you're a kid looking to get drunk on bad beer with some decent food then this place is for you.
