Magee's is one a long line of restaurants that have called the El Real home.
The El Real is a spanish revival building that was built in the twenties by Lee Ellis, son of one of the original Fallbrook homesteaders, William Ellis, the man who built the now torn down Naples (later called the Ellis) Hotel.

The manager of the place tells me of a time not long ago when an old man walked in and wistfully asked to see a specific room, having been introduced to life's carnal pleasures on that very same spot, so long ago.

Walking in the second floor feels strangely like the building is about to collapse and smells terrible. It all makes sense now
the second floor is for sure, well, from another era; my tax guys had their offices there for a couple years, which was weird; other rooms housed a yoga studio, etc...there's a door at the end of the corridor, where you can exit down the back stairs, to the parking lot...for sure i can see this as a former house of ill repute...what a great fuckin' story, literally!
