My first time here & was very pleased with the service. The food was tasty & the atmosphere is warm & welcoming. I walked in requesting the Seahawks game & was immediately accommodated (my TV was acting up & I was in a panic!). I’m new to the area & used MAPS to find “the closet place with sports viewing”. There were ‘big chain’ places closer but whenever possible, I prefer to patronize small businesses. The outdoor, patio seating is a place I’d love to hang out in during the summer. Love the open air seating. Great place!

Best chicken wings in town! Believe me, I know a thing or two about wings, you can get them well done here, flats only – yes, a little extra fee but you will become a fan just like I did. Oh my goodness they are amazing!

Alondra should teach a class on customer service. She greeted and welcomed everyone who walked in the door and couldn’t be more friendly.
They have great beers and food and even $5 pints for happy hour. You should stop by and try for yourself. I highly recommend!

We’ve been watching this place be build for months and it’s finally open! We came in and were seated right away. The inside had a very welcoming clean ambiance and the bar was really pretty.
We ordered curly fries, mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings and a pepperoni pizza. The menu says flat press but they said it was a misprint and that the it’s actually pizza. The curly fries were delicious and seasoned perfectly, the mozzarella sticks were defiantly frozen because they hardened fast and kind of reminded me of lunch lady mozzarella sticks, pretty mediocre and no cheese pull. The buffalo wings were seasoned really well, the perfect amount of sauce on them with a really good ranch. And the pizza was just okay, some of the cheese wasn’t melted and the dough was cheap.
Over all good food but not great or anything to really crave. My wife got an American ale and she liked it a lot so the beers are pretty good but all they have is beer (name gives it away) so don’t come here looking for a mixed drink.
Ranch dip: 8/10

The Bear Roots Tavern is such a great spot!! Total surprise for Escondido, too. It has the vibe of an upscale bistro pub but stays true to its roots. The ambiance is much nicer without being stuffy. If you’re a beer enthusiast, this is a great destination. It’s 80% bistro and 20% pub. There is seating at the bar, but it’s limited in comparison to the rest of the restaurant. There is tons of seating both indoors and out on the patio. When it’s warm, they open the roll-up door and let you enjoy the great weather.
There is a great selection of food to choose from, too! You can have a small snack or a full dinner. There is an amazing selection of gourmet hot dogs! The beer selection is limited compared to the other Bear Roots breweries in Vista, but the taps rotate, and the beer they have on tap are excellent choices.
This is immediately a must stop spot for Escondido.

Bear Roots Tavern did not disappoint! The food, drinks, and service were all top notch. The chef put a lot of thought into the meals offered. The location was accessible with ample parking, and the interior of the tavern was clean & inviting. Strongly recommend!

3.5, but rounding up to 4 stars. Very cool set up, modern open air concept, and cool place to watch sporting events. Understanding they just opened, but there are some basic things in hospitality.
1. Having worked in the industry myself, I know the response to a custom when they comment that the beer is flat is not “that’s just how it is”
2. When approaching the bar to get the beer replaced, 4 employees are standing around, but not one acknowledges me. Finally the bartender does and then is very short with me when I ask about the beers on the menu.
They were busy during the Padres/Dodgers game, but the food took a bit longer than it really should have. That said, the wings and the pizza were good.
Wings were crispy, buffalo had a good vinegar bite on top of the buttery richness and the Korean sauce was a great mix of sweet and spicy.
The meat pizza was was cooked. Perfect, crust had good flavor and chew and just the right amount of sauce. All key staples to a good pizza.

On the way back from a recent road trip I stopped by Bear Roots Tavern in northern Escondido! This restaurant & craft beer tasting room on El Norte Parkway is impressive, both inside and out! It has that nice open-air vibe that is common to many Grand Avenue establishments. The service I experienced was welcoming and friendly. The place seems popular with salt-of-the-earth Esco locals. My first priority was to digest their fantastic selection of beers on tap. For my first I chose what’s called “Deep Rooted”, a Double IPA coming in at 8.9% ABV. It was outstanding; however, I was served a short pour. Not sure why but the presentation suffered for it. Looked like someone took a drink out of it. My second beer was called “Lecker”, a German Pilsner coming in at 5.6% ABV. This one was excellent! Light bodied and crisp with a delightful floral note.
The food menu looked great. A nice selection of pub grub style dishes. I was most interested in their selection of hot dogs, made with a Nathan’s 6” frank. I ordered the “Tijuana Dog” and it was very tasty, artfully constructed and nicely presented. It’s a bacon wrapped dog, topped with grilled onions & bell peppers, jalapeno and a cilantro aioli drizz. The dog was plump, juicy and hot but the jalapeno wasn’t really present. I would have appreciated a little more of a kick. I have eaten these things back in the day on the streets of TJ and this wasn’t really the same. I do appreciate their version which chefs up an otherwise pedestrian handheld treat. I observed several other dishes come out to other patrons and they all looked very good. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Can here on a Friday early evening in late November. Parking sucks. Had to park in the adjacent lot by the donut place.
Venue is nice. Everything appeared to be clean and new.
Out of 6 beers, I found one that I liked. My husband didn’t care for any of them.
BR Super smash light finish fairly Dry.
Sol source session fruity-ish (the one I liked)
Rooted in the west. Light bodied. Little aroma.
Rooted in Nelson. Bitter
Fall in pumpkin ale. lager-ish
Ginger’s island. Notes of ginger root.
Pizza takes a SIGNIFICANTLY longer time than the rest of the food. Or the fired it when I reminded them about it after my husband was done eating. I wanted to cancell the order. It was tasty but you need a fork to eat it because the center was soft and mushy. Not a slice that you could pick up. Had to ask for napkins and got only two. Did not receive any utensils or water.
Wings and burger were good.
Wait staff was nice, but they were noticeably understaffed which impacted service. Had to ask for water twice.
Not an impressive first visit, shortly after their grand opening. I’ll probably give them a few months and then reevaluate.
