Ralph & Duane's

This is my favorite bar, I was born and raised here in town and I'm not a fan of SLO, that being said.. this small town bar filled with locals and awesome bartenders is the place to be for me. They are always friendly and fast when it comes time to get a drink. My only(minor) complaint is that they stopped using regular beer glasses and only have the skinny ones(like for long islands) now.

R&D's has that country small town dive feel to it. But it really isn't country. It's just a good old dive bar with a homey atmosphere. The first time I went on a Tuesday night and it was near empty. I went on a Saturday and I actually made good conversation with decent locals. I plan on going back more often. Oh and yes the drinks are pretty stiff. Best bang for your buck around here.

Looking to get in a fight? Check. Get served by a rude bartender? Check. Have lowlifes or some gang members doing drugs around you? Check. Karoke here is a joke too. Bad all around. I hate to say this, but Bill's Place across the street is 10 times better - and that place is just OK in my book. I won't be back here.
