Central Coast Distillery - Atascadero

Always feel at home and welcome by Anna and Eric. Food is incredible and there is no better bar!

We stopped in yesterday and found a delicious distillery hidden in Atascadero. The proprietor, Eric Olsen led us thru an interesting journey of craft spirits, military service, and hospitality! He takes a culinary approach to the making spirits sourcing through local farmers, ranchers and local fauna. While telling us a story, he took some fresh lavender rescued from his car an prepared a cocktail for the guests next to us! We took home the bottle of Rum aged in Bourbon barrels and made a cocktail called Anne Bonny named after the Irish Female Pirate, terror of the Caribbean; as we watched the sunset for the day.

Enjoyed an afternoon tasting their spirits and listening about how the alcohol is distilled and what makes a great drink

Amazing place! Truly unique cocktails and amazing spirits to sip and savor. Excellent food. Cool ambience. Situated in a charming little courtyard with a wine bar and a small sushi restaurant. It was our first time at CC Distillery— definitely check this place out!

This cozy little restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was prepared with care and the drinks were exceptional. The owner, chef, and distiller seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing, with a smile on their face all evening. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend visiting Central Coast Distillery in Atascadero for a memorable dining experience.
