Best Restaurants, Bars, and Hotels for a San Juan Capistrano Staycation | Eater San Diego

"I find bikers and hipsters rubbing elbows at Swallow’s Inn, a longtime local dive named after the migratory birds that return each spring—Wednesdays are karaoke nights and there’s some kind of live music and dancing nearly every night." - Candice Woo

This place is legendary, what a vibe. This is the dive bar we all need in our lives. Bartender poured them heavy which is appreciated and great prices. We even bought some hats because they were so dope. Band was awesome and just made for a great ending to our night. Do it, go… I dare you not to have a good time! :)

Old watering hole from the 80's when i was in the USMC. Came to our 40th reunion and stopped in to wet our whistle and reminiscing about old times. Beer is cold whisky is poured. What else can you say except drink up and have fun.

Great place to bring your friends or family in a Monday night. Get steak dinner or Salmon and nice crowd and dancing. Relaxing not to crowded . Great little local place. Supports Our Veteran. Staff is super nice and accommodating. Chef makes amazing fresh hot food. 10 Stars!!!?

Great tacos and cheap drinks. You cannot beat it. It's a dove bar but with amazing food.

Thursday is a big h-down barn dance with the quintessential gentlemen cowboys ready to dance with you. If you're unfamiliar with the Two Step they will teach you. We had so much fun!!

Presented our ID’s to two different bouncers, both refused to let us in or check with managers about our IDs, they could not provide a valid reason as why we were denied other than “we were out of state” and other made up excuses such as missing security features. They asked for our passports to prove it, but since we were traveling domestically we did not have access to them and would not accept photos. I understand that the bouncers do not want to lose their jobs, but coming up with multiple false excuses on the spot does not seem professional in any sense.

Went on a Sunday afternoon, following a band I like. There aren’t enough counter bars, or places with a true dance floor - so points there. Their tap selection was good, and a beer was $8. It was a little too small, incredibly loud, crowded, the bar tender was rude to my friend, and the energy was chaotic. The vibe was “spring break, but 30 years later.” The clientele was extremely irritating, with drunks crashing into people in the dance floor and trying to flaunt… something? Pros: country, dance floor, live music, good beer, dancers

The good old days 1999 - 2004 on Sundays Tiny would serve up some great orange yum yums(screwdrivers made you perfection)! Great place to hang out and the crowd was intermixed with the rich folk coming over the hill with the locals! Had great times with a lot of good people! God Bless Joey Cumo!
