  We live in Vista but never ate here until now. The hot pastrami was large and delicious. Took half home. Pub spinach chicken salad with honey-mustard dressing was delicious, too. Service was fast. We'll return and eat on patio with heaters.

  I have been going to Vista Village Pub for years, i'm giving a one star review because they have awful service on busy nights like last night, NYE. It was not very busy, there seem to be plenty of staff as usual... But for some reason, the bartenders can't serve customers standing in front of them with money. As a bartender, myself and have worked at bars with live entertainment and its packed and busy i have feedback for the owner for busy nights. Please train near barstaff, even bar backs to acknowledge customers standing at the bar to order a drink. Im holding money and in front of me to signal, I need to order. The band played two songs before anyone acknowledged me. About 4 employees were behind the bar and I kept trying to wave and get their attention but I felt they were not wanting to serve me. Finally one girl goes "oh I know you need a drink, but I don't have a drawer", but she took our order and money anyway because I probably looked annoyed. I've been here on Saint Patrick's day and other holidays and it's the same. I've walked out before because i've been ignored. I want to support this business during major holidays but they need to train their bar staff for it. Acknowledgement goes a long way. Your bar staff needs to constantly look at the bar and pay attention to who walks up, then, in a timely fashion, acknowledge that you see them and you'll be right with them. That goes a long way!!! It's so simple! Also, you need a place along the bar for walkup customers. Then, you need to train your staff to make drinks quicker i got beer, even though it was busy last night, there weren't any other people standing for drinks and the four people behind the bar were doing things that weren't that important at that time, i know this because I used to work in the bar industry. Customer's our number one and doing bar cleaning etc is 2nd unless it's an emergency like broken glass. Not shooting the shit with your fellow employees and not acknowledging customers. I hope they fix their bar staff for major holidays. I enjoy coming here, but it's so frustrating standing there and not being acknowledged and taking forever to get a drink. I would have stayed till midnight last night but ended up leaving after one because of the hassle of trying to get a drink. They do have a great food and normally good service, if it's a regular lunch day.

  Very cozy place that feels like the heart of Vista. The staff is very nice and provides great service. Beer’s cold and I recommend the onion rings!
