We love Julian Station but lost a star due to the businesses not being open on Friday afternoon as advertised... other than Julian Hard Cider. Really unfortunate as we had a couple hungry kids and specifically chose an accommodation here because of the proximity to Julian Station and we did not want to drive around with them on this trip for food. The taco stand was not open. Only Hard Coder and thrift shop. It's a really cool concept when open, though!

Incredible food, wine tasting with chocolate, cider house, live music, beautiful ambiance, diverse local vendors, with a gym in the front to balance all the consumption :). Love this spot. Always run in when i need to grab a gift.

Great spot. We tasted at 3 of the tasting rooms and enjoyed them out on the patio with live music. Also, I noticed some reviews said that they only serve cold sandwiches, which may have been the case but when we were there they had the Mexican food spot open.

Came for lunch on our annual trip to Julian. Still a fun atmosphere. They had a live band on Sunday and the tap rooms were cool. Staff all around still friendly. Kids love the indoors/outdoor areas. Gotta knock a couple stars though cause they no longer really have food options. Colt's Burger Bar is gone. Instead, they have pre-packaged cold sandwiches. And when I say cold, the PB&J was a rock hard. I guess they're working through some stuff regarding food. I wished they would update this information on the website.

Went to Julian with the San Diego Professional Tour Guide Association and we decided to stop here for some hard cider tastings. This place is pretty cool because it has several tasting opportunities plus tacos and chocolate. I tasted 5 kinds of hard cider at Julian Hard Cider and they were all very good, my personal favorites being Cherry Bomb and Pearnormal. I tried a Hefeweizen at Cooler Craft Beer which was quite tasty and refreshing. I didn't try the tacos but asked some people having them and they said they were really good. There is also a wine and chocolate place but had to restrain myself unfortunately! Great place for groups as well, plenty of space. They have live music at night which is great for a small town.

I recently took a field trip to Julian with the San Diego Tour Guide Association and found a hidden gem just a few minutes from downtown Julian. What a perfect location to have your large group event with several venues under one roof. There are multiple tasting opportunities for beer, wine and hard cider. Several quaint country shops, taco bar, live music make the perfect spot for group or private events. I am adding this one to my recommendation list.

Very fun place! Cider tasting and wine tasting is really good - first quality cider and wine. The wine compares to anything you'd get at an expensive tasting, so if you are a wine person, this is definitely for you. Mr. Manitas was excellent! Fantastic nachos and tacos - super fresh and flavorful. The shops are quaint with lots of unique merchandise. Everyone is really friendly and laid back. Altogether, this is a great place to hang out, relax, and enjoy the best of what Julian has to offer!

One of the best places to stop on the way to or out of Julian. The tacos and agua frescas at Mr Manitas are as good as anything in San Diego proper, the cider tasting is fun, and there is a play area for kids. Worth noting that it can get very crowded in the busy season, and the taco bar runs out of things. We also love the Cooler for beer and sports on TV (one of the few places in Julian you can catch NFL games and drink a beer). The taco bar will run out food to the Cooler, too.

This place was neat - stopped by to explore it with some friends on a Sunday afternoon. There was live music, a delicious taco shop, a miniature arcade, and various other antique shops. The shops we're slightly overpriced, but still something to see. It was fairly low-key which I love - the vibe was rather homey. We stopped by the brewery, had a flight of beer, and walked around the beautiful grounds. It made for a very relaxing Sunday :)
