- OTOpenTable Diner1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat beer, great grounds and good, friendly service. The menu was a little too eclectic and yuppy for me, but what I ordered, which I didn't completely understand what it was when I ordered it, was surprisingly good. The ambiance itself is worth the trip.More infoStone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens$$$$• Beer Garden• Escondido•4.5

- OTOpenTable DinervipOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023My Yard Live never disappoints! Hands down, my favorite go-to place in San Marcos! It’s fun for group events, a happy hour with friends, a fun place to watch a game on one of their giant projector sized screens, and the perfect venue for families! My kids have a blast playing outside on their giant play structure or inside with their variety of video games, air hockey, etc. There is truly something for everyone at this place. Their food is so good and most importantly; they serve my favorite Trust Me Vodka!!! Go check them out!More infoMy Yard Live$$$$• Brewery• San Marcos•4.4
