Paso’s ultimate pub crawl—
pick one or visit them all!
If you have ever been to down-
town Paso Robles, chances are
you have enjoyed one of the Park
& Pine Group’s venues. Each of the
four concepts—Pappy McGregor’s,
1122 Speakeasy & Cocktail Lounge,
Fish Gaucho, and the CANE Tiki
Room—offers something truly
unique.
The group is owned and man-
aged by Donovan Schmit and Troy
Larkin, cousins who grew up in the
restaurant business. The success of
each business is due to attention to
detail, focus on unique concepts
and superior customer service.
Pappy McGregor’s
Pappy McGregor’s, the team’s
flagship venue, opened in 2006
and is a local favorite receiving
accolades of Best Bar/Pub for
eleven straight years. The Irish-
themed gastropub offers delicious
comfort food, fresh seasonal craft
cocktails, local wines, beer on tap,
and is home to the best nightlife
in Paso Robles! With plenty of
indoor dining space, two full bars,
two outdoor patios, and kid and
dog-friendly, it’s easy to see why the
locals love Pappy's and why it is a
must-visit when in downtown Paso
Robles. They have recently added
delivery services and a Pub Club for
locals offering members points and
rewards. Pappy’s is also the perfect
venue for celebrations with the
back patio or the entire restaurant
From Irish charm
to speakeasy
secrets, with

1122 Speakeasy & Cocktail
Lounge
Behind Pappy’s is the 1122
Speakeasy Cocktail Lounge. Named
as one of the top hidden bars in
the world, this establishment takes
guests back to the prohibition era.
To enter, press the doorbell and
agree to the rules of the speakeasy
that are delivered through a cage in
the door by the host. Be prepared
for your cell phones to be locked
away in a secure pouch, then follow
the host through a secret door into
the hidden cocktail lounge.
Once inside, let your senses
engage with the Roaring 1920s as
the bartenders provide an elevated
cocktail experience with offerings
from the classics, the forgotten, and
the unique and seasonal signature
