Good wings, great beer selection, and amazing sandwiches (we got the Irish Dip - meat braised in Jameson with Guinness Mayo and Philly Cheesesteak - Yummy peppers and so much cheese). Stopped here last week while we were camping in Big Sur. We sat outside in the perfect weather and really enjoyed our lunch. The bartender/server was super adorable and friendly. It was so great we came back the next day for wings and beers.
Review Source:Excellent!
Great selection of west coast craft brews for understandably steep prices (I mean...this IS in the middle of nowhere, it must cost a lot to get a keg shipped out there from Bend, OR, or Fort Collins, CO). I had an amazing tart lychee ale from New Belgium in CO (known for their Fat Tire) and my sister enjoyed the WCPA from Deschutes Brewery (kind of like if a red ale and an IPA had a baby). They have an incredible list of bottled beers as well, and for a place off the freeway in Big Sur, they had a stock that would still get good marks in my book if it were in Seattle or Portland or San Jose. But it's in BIG SUR. What more can I say?
If you're on a road trip on Highway One, this is a fabulous place to stop and have a drink (drivers not included!!!) while you stretch your legs and take a bathroom break.
I have to say for the person below (Chris V) who complained about his Guinness taking a long time to receive - it's a beer served differently that most beers, in such a way that it DOES take longer than usual to pour correctly -- so, in the words of my mother, "quit yer bellyachin'!" Google "Guinness pour" or "nitrogen tap" if you want to know the specifics of it.
I read some other reviews about the food and the kids menu. Â Newsflash folks, this is a pub not a resturaunt or kids hang out! Â They are probably trying to price the kids out of the place!
We've been there a few times. Â The beer list is great with lots of things you won't normally find. Â
They added the the salmon battered fish and chips and they are great. But again, it is pub food! Â
This place gets 5 stars from me because for Brew Pubs on the side of the road in the forest, this one takes the cake! Â I LOVE IT!
On a recent trip bicycling down hwy one, I decide to spend a rest day in Big Sur, and camp at the state park. On this rest day, I think you know what sounds awesome? A burrito. So I stop in the general store in this little spot of civilization and grab just that. You know what sounds even better than that? A cold, frosty brew to slosh it down with. Â
So I happen to pop into this place, which was a little busy to grab just that. He tells me it'll be a couple minutes, which is totally fine, hes by himself and dishing out beers to tourist. Finally I get to order a Guinness, After around 10 minutes hes filling beers for people who have already ordered a drink previously, and my Guinness is just sitting there half filled. I don't know if its cause I am young but this beer is not getting to me. Whatever, I am munching my burrito a little bit at a time while waiting at the bar. I finally get the beer and sit down to get to work.
This is where absolute bullshit happens. This guy goes, oh hey I didn't notice that you had that, you have to wrap it up and eat it elsewhere. What, why? "that's *their* business not ours" I say its going to get cold,which it already is. and he says its "real simple" and to wrap it up. I wish his parents would have wrapped it up the night he was conceived, cause he was a total dick wad.
Overpriced food and beer.
Lots of good beer on tap.
Kids meals were like 6.99 for some frozen fries and corn dogs. (WTF?)
I got BBQ Beef Sandwich that the bartender said was pretty damn good. He's a pretty damn good liar. The sandwich was lacking in the actually having a decent amount of meat on it department along with the taste department and coming out hot department.
Beers are between 5 and one million dollars but they have a lot of beers in bottles and some on tap. Stuff like Poppy Jasper Amber Ale, Fat Tire Ale, Guinness, Bass etc.
All in all the bartender was a nice guy and the service was pretty quick. Just cost me an arm and a leg like anywhere in Big Sur because they know your miles from the next major city the whole town has a "let's get over on these suckers" attitude.
2 stars for the ton of good beer.
Minus 3 stars for overpriced everything, freezer fries, and 7 dollar corn dog meals (WTF!)
