A Guide to Downtown Paso Robles | Shopping, Dining & More
Memorable adventures don’t have to be adrenalin-rushing or anything that makes you break a sweat. Sometimes, the best outings involve a leisurely stroll down Main Street. With streets lined with charming shops, exceptional restaurants and more, Downtown Paso Robles has everything you could ever want. During your next getaway with Paso Robles Vacation Rentals, give yourself plenty of time to explore what’s known as the central hub of this charming California town.
Wander in and out of Shops
At the end of July, people of all ages descend on Paso Robles to visit the California Mid-State Fair. Vacations are all about treating yourself, so why not treat yourself to a bit of retail therapy? Downtown is filled with countless shops that have something for everyone. Discover locally-sourced goods at the Paso Robles General Store, or find an incredible piece of art at Studios on the Park. There are also plenty of clothing stores, including Bijou, Copper & Lace Western Boutique, and Harlee Rose Clothing Co.
Dine Out at Delicious Restaurants
While your Paso Robles rental has a fully equipped kitchen, there’s no shortage of restaurants downtown to try if you don’t feel like cooking. Try Latin and Spanish dishes at La Cosecha Bar and Restaurant, or enjoy traditional Italian fare at Buona Tavola. Somm’s Kitchen is known for expertly pairing food and wine, while Pappy McGregor’s Gastro Pub features tasty comfort food.
Memorable Landmarks
One of the things that makes this spot so charming and interesting is the number of historic buildings found here. The Acorn Building, located on the corner of 12th and Park Street, has been a downtown icon since 1892. It was rebuilt in 2007, and its top resembles the cap of an acorn. The focal point of downtown is Downtown City Park. Originally designed around 1890, it is the location of some of the most popular area events.
No trip to downtown is complete without looking for decorated wine barrels. Local artists decorate barrels donated by area wineries before being turned into planters. These unique pieces of decor are found in front of local businesses.
