Firestone Walker Emporium

1st time visitor but will definitely be back. 805 is one of my favorite beers. We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza that was yum and picked up some swag at the gift shop down the street. My fur baby loves her 805 toy. ❤️

The poke nachos were to die for!!! We also ordered a tri tip sandwich with a side salad. Of course their beer is delicious too!! Finding a brewery that has great beer AND excellent food is not easy. Don’t think twice, go here!!!!

The tour was just the right amount of walking time as well as being very informative. Everyone was ready to answer questions about the brewery process. The beer tastings were great. Everyone was kind and the place was clean. I loved the relaxed feeling everyone had. I definitely would recommend this as a stop.

I have always been a North County IPA guy. That being said,Firestone Walker has become outstanding, with their Central California take on craft brewing. The Emporium offers their best products, chilled at the perfect temperature, for beer to go. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, the merch is good quality as well. The best part is the return of Luponic Distortion.

What an amazing brewery, great food and of course great beers! Property huge and tours are reasonable priced, had a great time here.

Had the most delicious outdoor lunch ever. Beer wasn’t bad either! No, it was great. We did the samples to find out if there was any new brews that we loved and we did. Great place to go.

So much great beer and merchandise! We stopped by and picked up some beers to replenish the supplies from Christmas. Friendly knowledgeable staff 👏👍

The store is pretty cool. Has all kinds of Good apparel and you can buy beer.

I took a weekend trip to Paso Robles with the fam and needed to get them something to show I missed them so we headed to the Emporium. Now this is the kind of place to go for some merch! There was everything from hoodies and t-shirts to beer pong tables and cornhole boards! Everything was fairly moderately priced but in all honesty, the quality of their products are well worth the money. The family is going to be happy once they see all I got for them and that's all that really matters.

Excellent grab n go place on the way out from the Firestone empire:) Store full of merchandise and a cooler room full of regular and specialty beers to purchase. Wife picked up some of the special Anniversary Ale in 2022 vintage for gifts. On the second visit, we found out the draft can be to go not only in the typical growler, but they showed what a CROWLER was! A 32oz huge can capped to keep your draft good for at least 3 days or even a week! $10.50 for basically 2 pints? What a deal!!! Wife got 2 X UDBA crowlers to take back home and I enjoyed it immensely to have UDBA at home! Draft was fresh and I loved cracking open the huge can to have so much beer to enjoy. Definitely take some crowlers home!!! Never knew such things existed, but then I haven't used my glass growler from the brewery I used to go to in years, so maybe I've been out of touch on crowlers. UDBA all the way!!!

Cute merch store with a little tasting area. They usually have 4-6 things on tap. No seats, just a small standing bar area... Silver lining though...you can sip and shop at the same time! Love the concept. The cooler is huge and always stocked well. The employees are friendly. I'll be back when I'm in the area.

We stopped by Firestone Brewery for a late lunch with the family, and it was an excellent experience all around. Our server, John L, was fantastic--he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The food was tasty--highlights included the crispy fish and chips, flavorful fish tacos, and the delicious Southwestern burger. We also had a chance to sample a few of their beers, and everything we tried was top-notch, but the Blood Orange and Hopnosis were real standouts! Great selection of merchandise too. Highly recommend this spot for great food, beer, and service.

Really love the aesthetic of their shop & how neat and tidy every merch & beer was displayed. They had about merch for all types of occasions from casual to even motorcycling. Def worth a check out if you're making a trip near the area.

Enjoy coming here when family comes to town. Having some beers and food, maybe watch some football.

It's just an amazing facility. The taproom is great. Amazing beers and delicious food. They allow dogs on the patio or you can grab s booth inside. The barrel room is incredible and the smells are devine. If you just want to pick-up some FW beets and a t-shirt or some hip swag, check out the Emporium down the street.

My husband and I entered the store walked around for literally 20 minutes and were never greeted by any employee. There were at least 3 walking around so kind of disappointing. Not sure why they didn't help us like they helped the "other much lighter skinned people " but... So sad cause we use to like coming in here and buying their merch. If you have darker skin beware.

First time we came here. We had just eaten lunch so we weren't hungry but stopped in to get some beer. What's awesome about this place is that you can actually create your own flight. You can order 3oz pours ranging from $1.75-$4 depending on what you want. They have a huge selection of classics to sours and kinds you can't get anywhere but the brewery. We are not really into IPA so the faves were Blue Love (Saison Sour), Big Mood (Ale), First Date (Lager), and Lonely Mountain (Pilsner). The service was good and the waitress was attentive. Minus one star because after we placed the order on the app, I chose to keep the tab open and the waitress kept saying the order didn't go through so when I showed her my order, she started touching my phone, tipped herself, and closed my tab. I don't think she meant anything by it so I let it slide.

I had the SOB salad which was pretty good for nursing a hangover, good beer and atmosphere. One thing to note is it's tap room style service so you order through a QR code and don't have a server. When they deliver the food the service is nice though and they ask of you need anything. Pretty sweet joint. Another friend order the corn tacos and the consensus at the table was that they were not very good. Cool place to go with friends since y'all can pay individually.

We Love Going To The Restaurant But This Time I Had Received An Email From 805 Brewery And Saw All The Cool New Shirts And 805 Merchandise And My Brothers Birthday Is On Cinco De Mayo So I Got Him The Vive 805 Shirt And Got Me The 805 Truck Shirt...!!! I Have Tattoos Of The 805 Label On My Neck As Well As The Bear On Side Of Neck..!!! Been An 805 Resident My Whole Life And When Their Beer Came Out I Was HOOKED...!!! So I Finally Visited The Actual Merchandise Store And Got Myself And My Lil Bro T's...!!!! Also Had Awesome Service By The Young Ladies Working Ver Kind And Helpful...!!!!

I swear we are never leaving SLO/Paso Robles. We made a quick stop to pick up adult beverages you can't buy up in norcal. $150 later, we are on our way home. Hubby got the booze and I bought us a t-shirt for the beer festival next year. Got the tickets for my husband's birthday this year but bc of the virus, they postponed it for next year. Can't wait!! Good luck getting tickets. They sell out in no time!! We absolutley love this area!

This tour is so worth it. I really loved the experience. I enjoyed drinking and learning things at the same time.

Since this Yelp location seems to be specific to the Firestone Walker Brewery Emporium, I will focus on that. FYI that the Taproom restaurant and brewery visitor's center are separate buildings a bit further down the road. The Emporium itself is the brewery's Visitor's Gift Shop. There is a walk in fridge with the largest selection of beers you can choose from of the 3 main visitor buildings (Tap Room, Visitor's Center, Emporium). The shop also sells lots of merch like sweatshirts, shifts, mugs, glasses, stickers, and other souvenirs. After trying out a few beers from the Visitor's Center bar (where you can also take a tour of the brewing process) and checking out their smaller fridge selection, I came here to the Emporium per my tour guide's suggestion. Most though not all the beers from the Visitor's Center are present at the Emporium as well. Some of the specialty boxed beers were only available at the Visitor's Center though. You're free to enter the walk in fridge to browse the beer selections. They have boxed sets of 3 sours that you can get at a discount of roughly $20-25 per set, which is a great deal especially if you enjoy the particular sours included. There's also a smaller fridge to the right of the cash registers that house more interesting beers as well. I ended up choosing 3 individual bottles for $30. Stop by if you're a beer fanatic! Worth the trip if you're in Paso Robles.

It was fun and well worth the visit. Tour one time is good but more visits to see what has been brewing if you're traveling by.

Came here with another family for vacation- so much fun! We had dinner. The kids enjoyed the fatty pretzels and pizza. I had a tasty fish and chips dish. Hubby and friend loved the beer tasters. My favorite pint was the blood orange beer! Such an experience here! Highly recommend, family friendly.

805 All day! This place is only a pit stop on our way to pismo. Whether it's to grab a beer, grab some food, or grab some merch, it's always a must stop.

I had the most horrible experience at the Firestone swag store just down from the brewery. I picked up a t-shirt that had a yellow dot on the tag. I turned and ask the girl what that meant and she said in a sarcastic tone "that it's on sale." She then turned around and went back to what she was doing. I then said "well is there a way to find out how much?". she said "probably 25.". She then went back to folding shirts. she was a tall, dirty blonde haired girl wearing black checkered vans. I was so hurt the way she treated me.

Man, what a bummer. Came here for our anniversary. Poor customer service. Waiting for someone to ring us up. No one approaches the counter. Then a lady shows up...to answer the phone. Then walks away. The guy manning the beer tasting counter wasn't very helpful with answering my questions either. I was super excited to visit this place as I'm a big FW fan. Even dropped a pretty penny on this visit. But, it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Great place to get gear, sample beers, and take some home. Rich helped and was amazing. Has worked for FW for years and knows the product and was able to dial in the right beers for us to sample, and what to take home. Super helpful and had some great stories also. Will definitely hit again when we pass through.

Love the beer options. Kids were fans of the pizza. My hubby loved his tacos, and my fish n chips were good, not great. I am not a fan of ordering from a phone, I prefer to actually interact with a live waiter/waitress. Love that they are dog friendly on the large patio, as it's a distance for us, and we often have our beloved boxer with us.

They have everything Firestone brewing related gear. If your a fan you gotta stop by and check it out. They sell just about everything from hats, shirts, bottle openers to cold beers and kegs. You can sample some beer while you shop. Ya buddy!! The employees were very friendly and helpful.

This is not their Brewery OR the Restaurant. Both of those are just a block down this road, you cannot miss it because it is huge and takes up acres of land. Most of it is their production brewery, which is straight up warehouse/manufacturing space. Off to the corner is their restaurant and taphouse. That too is huge (by restaurant standards) but is still shadowed by their production brewery. This Brewery "Emporium" is a cute little retail space just down the street. It has retail hours like 10am-6pm daily. If you want something like souvenirs or clothing past those hours, your gonna have to go the restaurant and choose there. It appears that this store is more versed in selection and marketing. The clothes are arranged like a polished upscale clothing store. Clothing are neatly folded and racked. Marketing displays with mannequins, and a full blown Harley Motorcycle on window display. The material of the clothing is up there, even the logo'd t-shirts are very smooth and fine thread. I am a fan of their choice in material. But their pricing will reflect it as well. Basic T's with a print will start at $22. I wanted these smooth board shorts for an upcoming trip, but was deterred by the $52 tag. So yea, it just depends on what kind of money you're willing to depart with. My main draw for this place is they also sell some of their beers here, both on tap (to be filled in growlers) or polished marketing bottles. They probably don't have as many taps as their restaurant but they have about 10, which is more than enough for me. You can ask for a taste before putting it in your growler. The bottles are not what you normally know of Firestone. There is no 805 here or the basic Double Barrel Amber. There's a lot of experimental stuff here not meant to be on a supermarket cooler. There are beers that are aged in different barrels. There are beers brewed with "wild" yeast much like the original Belgian Sours (which is all the rage now). There are even beers that have been mixed with wine cuvee then fermented as one. That is so new to me, that I couldn't resist to get one. $16 for a maybe 12oz bottle. It is pricey, but I'm also counting it being educational and hopefully special. I also had one of their growlers in my car to fill, so I was able to fill it with one of their experimental west coast IPAs. $26 for a refill, when I think most breweries charge between $16-$20. Again your savings here are minimized, but they're so popular that they can command what they want. The big plus for me, is I didn't have to schlep it up into their restaurant, as I was on my way out of town after a long trip. So if you want to eat/drink, AND get some shwag, go down to their restaurant/taphouse, it'll all be under one roof. But if you want to get in and out without having to deal with a hostess/server/bartender, and just want a t-shirt/hat and/or some take away beer, please do stop here and take a look. If you're a fan of Firestone, it will not disappoint.

Always a relaxing place with good beer. Not a fan of the new ordering process, takes the people part out and that's unfortunate. Dog friendly patio and nice facility.

Excellent customer service from the staff here. I wanted to pick up gifts for a friend who is a big fan of the 805. They helped me find some perfect gifts within my budget. I highly recommend.

I love this place and the staff is AMAZING!!! Tracy is just the nicest and most knowledgeable employee, if she didn't like her job so much I would try to steal her! Fernando and Victoria are so friendly you feel like family if you are a frequent customer.

This review is for the dinner menu. I've had 805 beer before however I was not able to drink at the brewery. For dinner I had the "Fried chicken sandwich" which had.. Buttermilk fried chicken, Sriracha aioli, jalapeno slaw, pickled veggies on a sesame seed bun. It was delicious!! I def. will be returning. Oh.. and one more thing, the service was awesome our waiter was very attentive.

Love Firestone Walker is a very nice place to visit if you are in Paso the food is excellent and of course their beer is so good and they have very good service!
