Bar Alday

The Mark is family owned and the service and food is outstanding. The Tapas are awesome. Go there anytime your in San Luis Obispo. If you like local beers or some domestics they have it.

Bonnie McPeters

Amazing food that is reasonably priced. Try the tri-tip sliders. They are to die for!!!! Friendly staff and fun to people watch during farmer's market. Lots of screens and good music playing.

Bobi Phett

With the quickness of the bar staff and the security's dashing personalities. Best bar in DT SLO hands down.

Great food and atmosphere. I think a lot of people think it’s mostly a bar but the food is amazing!

Enjoyed the blackened ahi tuna and al pastor tacos. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend!!

Here are my reviews on the day and night time vibes. During the day: + they’re less busy + talking is easier + outside and inside areas for hot or cold + they have local bands all the time - sometimes there’s a drat when it is cold because there isn’t any permanent doors. During the night: + the night life here usually starts around 10pm(later than most) + KAREOKE AT 9-9:30pm + the djs are always nice + smoking/vaping is only outside + the cold chill feels nice when your drunk + the bartenders always get your drinks right and the bounces do their job so well nothing goes unnoticed

Tacos really did the place justice... house salsa and food presentation was on point and somewhat unexpected. Fries great too. Service and bartender was great. Despite seeming a bit divy the food makes up for it and it's pet friendly. Will be back.

We took a trip from Fresno to Avila and decided to go out for a bite to eat. After reading the reviews, I saw they had a back patio, which was perfect since I had my two dogs with me. We decided to give this place a try, and I’m glad we did! The service was absolutely the best out of all the places we visited. Everyone was incredibly welcoming— the bartender even asked if we wanted a dog bowl for our pups, which was a super sweet touch. Another staff member kindly gave my dogs some sliders, making us feel right at home. It was a very warm and inviting place, especially for my first time in SLO. If I ever find myself back in town, I’ll definitely return!

We came in last night, not knowing it was comedy night, and had a great time. While we didn't see the show, it sounded like a hoot. We ordered a round of margaritas and they were perfectly made! Delicious and well balanced. All the bouncers and bartenders were over the top friendly, happy and helpful. We really felt welcomed and at home. The bartender on the back patio, didn't catch his name, was so funny and made the birthday girls night. Great conversationalist, super attentive. The back area is great for chilling with drinks and people watching. Got really busy around 10, great music and dancing. Thanks for such a fun night!!

Was a bit nervous going based on a recent bad review. Sounds like that person had an individual problem. I had an amazing time. Staff was so pleasant and I felt perfectly safe. Security was definitely there to do their job and was top notch. I will definitely be back. So much fun. Drinks were amazing. Great energy and vibe. Line for the bathrooms gets really long. But it's a bar what do I expect. Super great. See you next time The Mark!

THURSDAY’s is an ALL out club night, full of beautiful ladies; action packed, had me dancing like as if i was in some Salsa 🕺 friendly atmosphere!

Really good bar food. The Calamari was delicious. Nachos were big and good to share. But the sliders were my favorite. I'd go back just to have those with a beer...yum!! The atmosphere was totally like a dive bar. Had great music playing and it just seemed like a chill place to hang.

Enjoyed our dinner at this place. The nachos were strong and the tacos were delicious. The service was very attentive and the owner or manager visited with us a few different times to ensure we we're satisfied. The only criticism was the ambiance, or lack thereof. The lighting was quite dim and the seating a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully they can address some of these minor items.

Really good food. The burger was amazing (but not cheap), the burrito okay. Big outdoor patio.

Cool spot, used to me much grungier, so now it's trying to decide whether to revert to it's old ways. But the margaritas are affordable and on tap.

Good fish tacos, but completely understaffed at lunch time. We set out back and no one came to help us. We had to go inside to place our order and get our drinks. Outside patio is nice, but they really need a wait person out there taking care of patrons

Terrible Experience! Black Male review: My girlfriend and I were invited to The Mark on Halloween night but couldn’t even make it inside due to extremely jerkish and hostile “security” . One of the security guards ASSAULTED my girlfriend and flailed around my ID at some point. Somewhere in there we were bounced for no reason other than your best guess. I am a professional, so I conducted myself like one through this. The Mark place is honestly sketchy so if you’re not into that, go elsewhere. So, Never again should someone from your establishment treat a person of color, a woman or patron, for that matter with disregard, After this review. P.s. Lower level management was alright when I had to -Follow Up- with the incident, on my own time. That’s all.

this place hires the genuine worst people to possible exist. CJ is the worst employee i have ever met in my entire life. he denied me and my friend because of our sexual orientation and he would not let us talk to him or even look at him. i could not believe that a place like this would hire him. there are four people that witnessed his discrimination and we are filing legal action because of the extent of his disrespect and absolute indifference. CJ caused me to never want to step foot in The Mark again. not going back.
