Mulligan's Bar & Grill

Mulligan's Bar & Grill is the restaurant and bar at The Avila, the golf resort formerly known as Avila Beach Golf Resort. You don't need to play a round to come in. It serves coastal comfort food from breakfast on, with a full bar and live music every week.

What to order at Mulligan's

Breakfast runs until noon daily, with breakfast burritos and a Central Coast scramble. After that, the menu turns to shareables like tri-tip bites, asada fries, wings and fried pickles, then burgers, a tri-tip hoagie, Nashville hot fried chicken, fish and chips and fish tacos. On the drinks side, look for the house cocktails like the Avila Gold Rush and Avila Bees Knees, or a ranch water.

Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 p.m.

Live music at Mulligan's

Local bands play every week, usually in the afternoon or early evening, with more shows on weekends. The lineup changes, so check the resort's Mulligan's page for this week's acts. On cool evenings, patio heaters and fire pits keep the outdoor seating comfortable.
