mbdude, I meant the McLintock's Saloon in Pismo Beach/Shell Beach. Where the waiters do the trick in which they have you hold an empty glass upright on top of your head, they get up on a stepstool, blindfold themselves and attempt to pour ice water into said glass on your head. They also sing a righteous variation of Happy Birthday to anyone who says it's their birthday. I agree that the McLintock's in Arroyo Grande and SLO aren't anything special, although SLO has awesome creekside dining if you ask for it (as do many of the restaurants along the west side of Higuera Street).
Phogge were you talking about this Hitching Post? https://hitchingpost1.com/
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
