Atascadero
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Atascadero, California
Atascadero was founded in 1913 as a planned utopian community by magazine publisher E.G. Lewis, and its restored 1918 Italian Renaissance city hall still anchors a downtown now known as the Colony District. Sitting in the heart of California's Central Coast wine country, the city's 32 BarFinder listings lean toward wineries and breweries, including Marin's Vineyard Wine Tasting Room and Santa Maria Brewing Co., alongside a smaller classic-bar and gastropub scene.
