Casino Inn Bar & Grill on Alpine Boulevard has served Alpine since 1960, operating a full-bar and full-kitchen program across a multi-level property at the Tavern Road intersection. The kitchen runs a breakfast-through-dinner format — chicken-and-waffle plates in the morning, burgers and wings at lunch, cabernet-braised bison short ribs at dinner — covering the same daypart spread that Steph's Donut Hole anchors from the pastry side on Alpine Boulevard. A 100-to-300-capacity downstairs event space hosts private parties, wedding receptions, and corporate dinners, supported by a dedicated catering menu and full bar service. The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health assigned the facility a perfect 100-out-of-100 inspection score, the highest mark available under the county's graduated scoring system. The outdoor patio stages live bands and karaoke alongside two red-felt pool tables, creating a multi-format entertainment program that attracts the same East County recreation traffic flowing through the corridor from Barona Creek Golf Club on Wildcat Canyon Road. The dinner menu's cabernet-braised bison short ribs slow-cook in a red-wine reduction with lime crème, corn salsa, and pickled onions, a multi-stage braise that reflects the full-service kitchen's capacity beyond standard bar-grill fare.
