5 Best Beer Bars near San Juan Bautista

“I love this place. Not too many places to just lounge in San Juan. But this place is the best. Beautifully curated grounds to enjoy. Lori is the sweetest and you can not say anything bad about her or her establishment because she gives you 100% of herself. She is a woman-owned and operated business and that itself is tough in this environment. There are also two lovely animals to greet you and how I love shop animals! They give a real touch of humanity to any establishment. The selection of wine and beer is fantastic. She's always switching it up. So never a dull tasting experience. I took my father here and with his tough discerning option, he totally enjoyed himself. We left with big smiles! You will too.“

“A great place for drinks in San Juan Bautista! Beer, wine, and alcoholic slushies! Some cool indoor seating with window bar seating makes for fun people watching, and a sweet beer garden with ample seating - if you're lucky, there will be some live entertainment and dancing! Beer and wine list are diverse and have something for everyone. They have a charcuterie board that is well worth the money and plentiful. Prices are not overinflated. And service is uncompromising in this family owned and operated establishment. Whether taking a break from antiquing, passing though, or as a destination, 18th Barrel will not disappoint. Good vibes, good beer, and always a great time!“

“We went for wine tasting, food and live band and everything was great. The wine was good. We really liked the variety of food and the live band was fun. They sang some oldies and their repertoire was all over the place so we heard a bit of everything. The owner of the establishment was super friendly and just made the whole thing more enjoyable. We will be back :-)“

“The service was great. Very attentive for our large group. I expected the portions to be a bit bigger for the price but not horrible. The chips and salsa were yummy. I ordered the chile relleno and it was very good. The only things I noticed that I would recommend to change is that there were flies when you walk in, and there is a hole in the ceiling towards the front. I wasn't sure what that hole was about but it just makes the restaurant look rundown.“

“We come here on a regular basis, and the food is good barbecue delicious salads are huge wine and atmosphere is really nice. Services is great .We recently had dinner, and apparently Santa Claus paid for our whole bill! We didn’t know who or where Santa was but we definitely love this place .This is one of the best places in Prunedale.“
