What Makes Central Coast Poker Different

Community Over Competition

Unlike some poker scenes where players are cutthroat, the SLO poker community genuinely wants new players to learn and improve. You'll find experienced players offering advice, dealers explaining rules, and a general atmosphere of camaraderie.

Local Flavor

Since Outlaws Card Parlor is conveniently located in Atascadero, we're in the heart of the action. Minutes away from Paso Robles and its unique wine country dishes, and from seafood restaurants on the beaches of Pismo. There's always good food to be found here on the Central Coast! If you don't want to go far, there are great choices to be found without ever leaving Atascadero. In fact, downtown Atascadero has several breweries, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants all within walking distance of each other.

Reasonable Stakes

You're not going to find $500 buy-in games as the norm here. Most action happens at stakes that recreational players can afford, typically ranging from $1-$250 buy-ins. This keeps games fun and accessible while still maintaining competitive play.

The beauty of the Central Coast poker scene is that it welcomes both beginners finding their footing and experienced players honing their craft. Whether you're looking for a fun Friday night activity or serious competition, San Luis Obispo offers something special—a poker community that combines the thrill of the game with genuine hospitality.

The cards are shuffled, the chips are stacked, and the seats are waiting here at Outlaws Card Parlor. The only question left is: When will you take yours?
