The Pour House — Restaurant in Paso Robles

The worst experience I have had in this area...As an Army VET traveling from Houston, TX to spend time with a buddy of mine. I will never return to "The Pour House".

I attended the bar with two friends. my buddy's cost was a full $7. 75 less than mine. The bartender saw the look on my face and obviously remembered who I arrived with; he immediately began to apologize and began the process of gaslighting me (I still hadn't addressed my issues with them). I went ahead and exited the bar to join my friends on the patio; The bartender then sends a manager out with free drink tickets to quell the situation. The bartenders came outside to offer baseless apologies and produced a re-rung up close-out tab for one of my buddies (this tab without any doubt was identical to mine). What the staffs reactions says to me is; these things are part of the culture/management there...and it happens routinely.

I simply demanded a refund and left...if I could give them a -5; I'd do it with a clear conscience. this all happened on Reggae Night of all nights. 10 July 2021.

**response to the owner: thank you for your response. check your reviews...this is not the first time someone has received poor service at your establishment. In order to make sure this doesn't happen again...review your cameras (people..your staff lied, cameras do not). It is nice to know the owner himself is just as moral-less as his staff; its truly a culture of a top-down...

Not Just a Bar, A Place That Held Me

I walked in just before closing. First night in a new city, with a 3 a.m. bus to catch and nowhere to wait. I wasn’t looking for a drink, just somewhere to rest for a while.

This bar welcomed me anyway. No questions, no rush. Just great music, good people, and a soft kind of energy that made everything feel okay.

It wasn’t loud or flashy, it was warm. It felt safe. In a city I didn’t know, it gave me something simple but rare: a place to stay when I needed one, and a night that turned into a memory.

Not every bar leaves a mark. This one did. One day, I’ll tell someone about the time I waited for a 3 a.m. bus, and how a bar made me feel at home for a few quiet hours.

Only one regret: I should’ve got the T-shirt that said, “It’s not a city. It’s a vibe.” It is, indeed!

Definitely the best bar...
