Located at the corner of Mason Street and Grand avenue, Mason Bar is a most welcome addition to the quaint village of Arroyo Grande. Local owners Bill and Meygan Hales (who also own Rooster Creek and Shell Beach Brewhouse) have created a fabulous gastro pub that could be best described as country chic and has rapidly become a new local’s hangout!
This is definitely not your standard pub! While there are 25 craft beers and 11 wines on tap, manager Dustin Winkelpleck and his staff have created a well thought out artesian cocktail menu featuring barrel aged cocktails. You can even purchase your own barrel!
The ever changing menu is sourced locally and matches well with the liquid libations. Some fav’s include the Brussels sprouts with Cotija Cheese, Fresno peppers and avocado, the Lobster Corn Dogs, the Duck confit Quesadilla or the Prime Rib-eye Chef’s burger (which I love with a pint of Allagash White). Save room for the Spanish Lava cake (and some time, as it is freshly baked!)
Recently, Mason Bar has agreed to take over the adjacent space that once housed Robert’s restaurant — and with the expansion, expand their name to “Mason Bar and GRILL!” We look forward to the changes that should be ready mid-Spring.
