1st Street Bar

An icon on the 101 Highway. Great dive bar with plenty of TVs and a pool table. Be sure and stop by Mondays for open mic comedy. Keep an eye out for Afi Komonn those days.

Love the service here, definitely somewhere I would return to and spend more time. We only had a quick visit and really enjoyed it. We passed by mid afternoon and could feel a lovely warm atmosphere, we would like to sample a busy evening here as it does look great.

Great location and fun atmosphere. Was packed during my last visit (my 90's band was there playing live). Nice stage, seating and ample dance floor. Top notch hosts with a wide variety of drink and beer selections. Will be out for another visit soon.

Such a fun and relaxed vibe at 1st Street. Pool, mini shuffleboard, great place to watch sports or meet new and fascinating people. Ian and Gary are at the door; both very personable and cool. The owner happened to be there when I came in to watch tennis and catch the Broncos, and was such a generous and laid back individual. Karaoke and open mic on Mon and Tues; this place always has something going on. Food availability to take inside as well with a neighboring sidewalk vendor; amazing eats. I don't see any unsmiling faces here, and have visited on different days, different hours. Never the same experience twice; and always a welcome feel. Definitely worth coming in and counting yourself as a local. Just do it!

Best of both worlds, Great place for music and sports! Played here with my band last month and had a blast. Loved being so close to the beach, you could practically feel the waves at the bar. Small stage but good sound. Lots of seating and standing room for guests. Several big screen TV s broadcasting the big games, pretty good parking all around. (Easy load in for drummers, thank you 1st!!) Staff was great, and the bar even offers non-alcoholic beer which is a nice treat. Great music (of course) and tons of amazing food arou d the neighborhood. The vibes were chill and the bar had a big open wall/window so people walking by could get a sample of the party. It was nice to see outside while playing, and watch the colors of the sunset change. A fun place for a date or to hang with friends, even cool for family (adults of course). I felt comfortable having my dad, uncles and aunts come to my show knowing they would have a good safe time. I highly recommend checking out 1st Bar Encinitas next time your in North county!

A great, feel good, home town, established Bar. Always make a point to stop in and a few when in town. All the employees are such a joy to spend time with.

A group of friends and I came to see The 005 band play. The band was great! The bartenders were very attentive. The patrons were enthusiastic, engaged, and respectful of each other. We really had a great time!

Service is great.Prices for drinks are not bad at all and the atmosphere is awesome especially when they have live bands playing.
