Such a cool vibe and atmosphere here! We didn't realize there were 3 different types of places in one, so we probably should have gone to the restaurant side, but we were still able to have a nice drink and delicious lunch. We had fish tacos, wings, and a Korean chicken sandwich. Highly recommend!
Rod & Hammer's in San Luis Obispo is a whiskey wonderland that had me feeling like a kid in a candy store – but with way better treats! From the moment I walked in, I was hit with a wave of hospitality that made me feel right at home.
Their tasting room is like a playground for adults, offering a tantalizing flight of California whiskey that'll have you wondering where it's been all your life. And let's talk about their use of purified Pacific Ocean water – who knew a sip of whiskey could make you feel like you're catching waves?
But it's not just about the booze – their Rock Restaurant serves up some seriously tasty smokehouse cuisine that'll have you licking your fingers and reaching for another round. Indoor or outdoor, every seat is the best seat in the house.
Rod & Hammer's isn't just about whiskey – it's a lifestyle. So whether you're a seasoned whiskey connoisseur or just looking for a good time, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. Because life's too short for boring drinks. Cheers to Rod & Hammer's – they're the real MVPs of the whiskey world!
Great tasting experience along with the atmosphere and topped with a delicious bite to eat. Impressive establishment how is split from the beer to spirits side along with the patios and couches. They definitely invite you to stay a while.
Great tasting wiskey, try the flight to get a good taste and comparison. We liked the friendly attentive service, fun atmosphere, and drink selection. We also tried the peach flavored wiskey but not a fan.
Great first time visit. We hit the stills bar (there are two other adjacent bars) and enjoyed a quiet refined setting with well crafted cocktails made from in house distilled and aged whiskey. I was hungry and ordered a smash burger which was delicious. The bartenders were talented, personable and knowledgeable of the history and factoids of the place. Bottom line, it was a successful and fun date night with the wife. Shout out to Jacob, Sadie, and Mauricio for assisting in making it a special evening!
Great atmosphere and great whiskeys! The Distiller's Reserve Rye is probably the best rye I've ever had, and we just got back from a week on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Rod & Hammer provided whiskey tastings for our SLO Wedding Planners fundraiser benefiting Rita's Rainbows. They were absolutely fantastic - super generous, friendly, inviting, and very tasty! We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and would recommend 100%!
Very cool place to come and SLO down and unwind. Cool outdoor patio deck, cool vibes, and great drinks. My first time here and wanted to try the flight of whiskey. It was a good selection but would love to come back and try their mixed drinks. One of the bartenders also made my wife a non alcoholic pomegrenate drink. Staff wear wearing masks. Plenty of parking.
Fantastic place to hang out and grab a drink! Whiskey is mostly MGP, but it’s pretty good and they are working on getting their still dialed in. Will definitely stop by again. Austin was my bartender and was fantastic. Be sure to stop by and enjoy it!
