Rod & Hammer Rock

"Showed up on a Saturday night to enjoy some beers and wings with some friends. We were denied service due to our Oregon IDs being “fake”. They weren’t able to scan the IDs to check their validity because they don’t have a scanner which seemed odd in my opinion. I am 23 years of age and a senior in college and have frequently visited bars in downtown SLO. I asked to speak to a manager, who evidently wasn’t on the premises or on call. I was given a number to call, however no answer after 4 phone calls. Very poor customer service and improper protocols. Would not recommend this place if you’re looking for a good night out with friends."

"Very cool place, glad I went in with some friends to check it out. Good food, I also had a whiskey flight."

"The food was fantastic! Best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The restaurant side service is walk up, which, given the open air environment make sense... just adjust your expectations accordingly. I also didn't like the self bussing aspect...again practical but didn't sit right with me since the restaurant itself didn't feel "fast food"-esque. The bar side is very cozy and seems like a great date spot."

"Omg love the atmosphere in this place!!! Just driving into the parking lot i can tell it was gonna be a cool place. I wish it wasn’t raining when we went but the inside was cool too. The employees were super friendly. Good selection of beer and food. Found out they have happy hour Monday thru Friday 3-6pm: pizza and drinks! Love how they are super dog friendly!! Got our pup the Barkuterie board which he loved!!! Can’t wait to go back!!"

"I love visiting San Luis Obispo and had friends recommend SLO brewing. I now have a new favorite place to go!! The setting is perfect with a large rock that hems in the restaurant giving it a very unique feel. We went with a couple other families with kids and it was perfect for them with board games, Twister, Cornhole etc and I felt like the kids could have fun without annoying other people. Their beers are great. I did a flight and liked 3/4, then ordered more and loved the variety. Most were all something I would drink often. They’re food was also fantastic, with pretty large portions. The staff was all very helpful and nice, there are plenty of TVs for games, and I loved every aspect of it (besides the line for food, but once the order is done, everything else is smooth). I highly recommend, and I’ll be back!"
