About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
Paso’s original watering hole, notched up.

Cattlemen’s Bar is a revival of a Paso institution — built on history, tradition, and a whole lot of California
country. Legend has it the Chandler family rode their horses upstairs and straight into the bar. The horses are gone, but the spirit remains: a place for good drinks, familiar faces and cowboy comforts.

Equal parts grit and polish, Cattlemen’s serves new takes on old classics in a space where stories linger, rules
loosen, and the bar always comes first.

Saddling up late February 2026.

    What a fun place! From The musician playing country music in the corner to the decor, this place makes you feel right at home in the country. Our server, Riley, did a great job making recommendations from both the cocktail and food menus. We will definitely visit again the next time we’re in Paso.

    Food was good. Service could use some help. Servers didnt smile. Nor did they come back enough a check if we needed anything. They kept trying to clean up our table when our food wasn't done yet.

    They've renovated the space and it's beautiful. We went for the once a month prime rib special. Very nice portion size with a small dab of mashed potatoes. Some token vegetable would have been nice. Good wine list too. Both by the glass and by the bottle. When we first got there it was really crowded. Apparently a large group of people were in town for a seminar. The staff handled it perfectly. Once most of them left it was a pleasant evening with live music. It's nice see a place that's been around so long stay current.

    We were really excited to try the new menu with the highly-acclaimed chef, Charlie Palmer, but sadly were disappointed. As locals, we're always hoping for a great experience at a decent value and this did not live up to it. We went on their Burger/Beer for $24 Monday night and the burger was ok but super greasy, the fries mediocre, and the extra beer that we had was I believe $10, for a bottle of beer that's high. Service was excellent. Probably won't return but we do hope it does well and pleases the people visiting the area.

    Very good restaurant overall. Service was top notch. Food was good. Value overall was average. Paso Robles restaurant prices are high for what you get in return, including this place.
