“We absolutely love playing Pour House Paso Robles. It is a must add on all our tours. The locals are incredibly supportive and the staff is so nice. The ambiance of the patio stage sets the best vibe for what is always an extra special evening. Every show we’ve had there is just another legendary page in the books. Not to mention the area is just beautiful. We always look forward to these gigs most on our adventures.”- Great Electric Quest, Rock band, Oceanside CA

"The Pour House is an amazing venue to play! Open air stage in an intimate setting, so perfect for the spiritual music of U2! What really makes the Pour House phenomenal is the beautiful audience, the incredible staff and the amazing energy that just happens there!!! There’s something about Paso Robles!!!”- U2XPERIENCE, seen on WORLD'S BEST TRIBUTE SHOWS

"The Pour House treated us like family from day 1 of performing there. Many amazing shows later and it's still one of our favorite venues. The staff, accommodations, atmosphere, along with the crowds have been absolutely amazing! An all around incredible, professional, top-notch venue."

"When you're in the music business, you often hear stories about tough venue owners and cutthroat promoters. But Les is a breath of fresh air. She doesn't just book bands; she invests in them. She's honest and fair, not just with her patrons but with her employees and artists as well. That's a rare find in this industry. She understands the struggles artists face and she pays fairly, treats everyone with respect, and, most importantly, listens to what musicians need."- David Robinson, singer and bassist for The Jammies (local's favorite band!)

​

"As a long time musician, I've gigged all over the Country spanning Hollywood to Idaho to Nashville. From packed houses to crickets. Some venues are literal meat grinders. They treat the artist like the help. Others are truly into it for the music. That's the Pour House. Leslie and Jake are always welcoming and supportive providing a dynamic lineup of acts every week. Because of this, the locals know where they can go hear great tunes. Having an active listener and a cool venue is all an artist could want. Check it out."- Rolf Gehrung, singer/ songwriter

"The band Dirty Cello travels all over the world playing a wide variety of venues. One of the places we come back to year after year is the Pour House in Paso Robles. We love the whole vibe of the place - it’s relaxed, fun, and a bit reminiscent of a bluesy roadhouse. The staff is great and the audiences are too."- Dirty Cello, San Francisco

"Leslie, Jake, and the entire team at The Pour House are the best! We played Pour House a few
times under the previous ownership, so we were nervous when we found out The Pour House
was being sold. Sold? To who?? Damn, we’re just starting to roll, hope the new ownership
continues to book us. We sent our info but then the 2020 shutdown happened. Everything we
had scheduled was cancelled, and we had some cool stuff planned. Sometime after things
started opening, I received a call from an unknown #. It was a slow workday and an 805-area
code, so I answered thinking it’d be a solicitor, but instead it was Leslie from Pour House, she
was starting to book bands on their outdoor stage and wanted to know if we’d be interested in
playing. We hit it off with the new owners immediately.
We’ve made many new friends and we’re treated like family by the entire Pour House team. For me, that’s one of the best aspects of thePour House. The overall vibe is warm and welcoming! I’ve talked to a few folks from out of town and they say the same thing, they asked around town where to go for live music in Paso and everybody says, “The Pour House”. We’ve also been hired by others who saw us at the Pour
House first, for which we’re grateful.
Leslie treats the bands so well and we truly appreciate and respect the way they operate. The
Pour House was already a cool spot before. Leslie, Jake, and their team have takin it to another
level. The bands they’re bringing in are bigger named acts from out of the area along with a
good mix of local groups like ours, all while s�ll giving new groups the opportunity to play at a
great local venue.
We so look forward to playing there every chance we get and truly LOVE and appreciate Pour
House, Leslie, Jake, Mariann, and the entire team!"

"The year was 2010. I started a band called High Voltage. We were to be an AC/DC Tribute Act. Our first real show was at The Pour house. It’s crazy to think that that was 13 years ago. What do I remember about that show? The Pourhouse staff and venue were top-notch and accommodating. Their appreciation for live music is genuine. In the years since then we have continued to perform at The Pour house as a regular venue in our rotation. The vibe at The Pour house is so great. I have seen many bands there and the crowds are solid, and people are always having a great time. Leslie and her staff do such a great job taking care of all the bands’ needs and it shows. I encourage any acts, including comedy, to make The Pour house a place to perform. After 13 years, I still cannot wait to hit their stage."

Ray Rocha, Founder/Drummer of High Voltage Tribute
