Hidden away, but worth the treasure hunt. Bang The Drum has a great vibe, beautiful, spacious outdoor patio, and plenty of indoor seating as well. They always seem to have at least one, if not many, tasty gems on the menu, brewed with local fruit. They have a full kitchen and plenty of desserts for a fully rounded, taste Bud experience. They also have a stage for live music. Check them out!

The veggie curry pot pie is so good!

Wow how fantastic !!! The Chicken Pot Pie was amazing!! So was the Mac and Cheese Pot Pie. The crust was probably the best I've ever had. No shit !!! WoW !! If you haven't gone it's time to go .

It's been a while since I've been here, but the few times I've gone it's been a great experience. They have their house-made pot pies which are delicious. You may want to wait for them to cool for a little while though. I'm bad at waiting for food and that comes with consequences when it's still hot. They also at the time had a hot hard cider which was really really good. They had Brass Mash playing here at the time and it was a lot of fun.

Mellow place to lounge and hangout. Not many beer options for ME personally (more of a clear IPA fan) but good variety overall. I can see a busy night being a good time there. Only downside is it’s up a little hill and in a large parking lot. A bit hard to find but they do have signs. Very nice bartender, good food options

Feel bad about leaving such a meh review, and we very much could have come at the wrong time and/or tried the wrong things, but the IPAs were forgettable, the inside was kinda record-scratch antiseptic for a brewery, and it was a little hard to find. That said, the staff was super friendly, the outdoor area was nice and easy access from the trail along the tracks. You could do worse.

I went for a once a month salsa event, and it was amazing! The place is so nice, and I am totally going to order some of that yummy food next time and drinks!<3

Love this place! A hidden gem every time I'm in SLO County. Chai blonde ale is the best.
Lovely patio space and large parking lot. Beer was okay. Nice place, but I enjoy the more intimate atmosphere of some of the other excellent local breweries.

This hidden gem is nothing you would expect! Such an amazing indoor outdoor location that is SO off the beaten path! Noelle was our server, & little did we know she was also the owner. She has an amazing story, about how she started the business with her father, which makes you want to love it even more! While their menu is limited, everything is scratch made. We had the single best pretzel any of us has EVER had. Crispy & buttery on the outside, soft & pillowy on the inside! The only thing I would change, is deli mustard instead of yellow mustard. We ordered 3 pies: veggie curry, chicken pot pie & steak pie. All three of them were absolutely INCREDIBLE! 3 of us had beer & I had a fabulous blood orange seltzer, which was perfectly dry & not too sweet! They have a stage inside, which would be great for live music & I truly cannot wait to come back again!

A little hidden away very chill gem with great indoor and outdoor seating with a mix of sun and shade and oddly a great scent of pine trees outside.

The best neighborhood beer! We love it here, love that I can sit outside and enjoy the trees and fresh air. Their beer is great and always have a good rotation of local stuff too! Also that I can get sparkling water or kombucha if I’m not feeling beer. Food is fantastic, love the curry pot pie, the pretzel, the flakey boys, and every dessert I’ve ever had here. Trivia is a blast, karaoke is too notch, and they host a variety of other amazing stuff like hilarious comedy shows and great live music. Keep up the good work, we love BTD??

They’re not brewing their own beer. Done.
