Finally got a chance to go back to one of my favorite breweries in Orange County. It's hidden behind in a neighborhood near the packing house. Really neat small place and parking can be difficult a times, but it's worth all the trouble. The location is nice and clean both interior and exterior. They have 2 very clean restrooms and the staff are always friendly, welcoming and professional. Their beers are very unique and I love the fact that they have a "Halloween" theme all year round. You can bring in food from the nearby restaurants and it's always a fun time here. Definitely recommend this spot to everyone.

Cool decor

What a cool brewery!! You must check out! Came across this brewery and glad we did! It's right by the Anaheim Packing District. Walkable as it's across the street. There's also street parking right around it and we were able to snag one and walk over. A good sized brewery, clean, cool people all enjoying a beer. They even had a candle making person there that day! Walked in and the beer tender was super cool. They had a beer made with curry! He let me taste it first and it was surprisingly good! It is different so try a taster first! But tried a couple other beers and they were great! Sat down in the main area and they have lots of pinball machines, a claw machine and don't forget the Photo Booth! They have a card machine to use to play games. So much fun and glad we finally checked them out! We'll be back!

Cute place for drinks pinball and maybe, just maybe get a tattoo! Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 Restrooms 5/5 Overall 4/5! Parking on a Friday night 2/5 So they have a tattoo person and you can try to book a tattoo! Good amount of drinks to choose from! Pinball machines are fun! Come drink n play!

The Gray Phantom: A brown ale with 7% ABV hit the spot. Nice balance of roasted malt and a slight caramel sweetness, without feeling heavy. It had a smooth finish and is a safe try for first-timers. I doubt I'd get the same thing twice though. Service: No issues from my POV. I ordered a beer and I got it in under 30 seconds. The prices were decent, and the guy was nice. Ambiance: Located in a quiet spot in town, the brewery definitely stuck to its namesake by giving it a relatively concerning prison-like feel from the outside, while maintaining an eerie red hue on the inside. The place seats about 30 people. One side has a more active segment, where you have an arcade, and the other side is a more traditional bar. I believe there is also a spot that sells food outside the bar, but I could've just been seeing things.

The vibe is a vampiric red lit little dungeon, at night. And I'm all in . Anaheim is one of the most competitive beer scene cities in Southern California and it's safe to say that Asylum Brewing, definitely hangs with the best of them. If you want beer, they're punchy hazy. IPA beers , as well as their light beers. Decent stout, except for their curry stout. But their beer cocktails are out of this world. And if you're looking to get an extra bite on your beer, you can accompany it with their house, tequila and sake. Service was fantastic. I'd circulate and stop by this location if I was looking for anyone else. Oh they also have pinball machines. Truly a great find.

This brewery is located in downtown Anaheim and this place is awesome. Their beers are delicious and the bartender Nelson is friendly. We will be returning here

Finally made it out to this brewery for their vegan food fair, and I'm so glad I did! I've been wanting to check out the new location since I used to go to their previous one--and wow, it's a completely different vibe. I loved their old spot. It was dark and moody, which made sense for a place called Asylum Brewery. It had that edgy, underground feel. The new location? Total opposite--and I love it just as much! It's bright, open, and even family-friendly with video games, comfy sofas, and awesome artwork throughout. Despite the change in atmosphere, one thing stayed the same: top-notch beer. Plus, there's plenty of street parking which is always a win. Can't wait to come back!

Friendly staff and owner, fun atmosphere! Great selection of beers on tap, go and have some fun! And hello...Photo Booth!!! Haha

My friends and I went here to celebrate his birthday. It's a chill place with a brewery and games for entertainment. They don't sell food but they have outside vendors. Service was quick. Beer selection was limited but enough. Moscow mule was tasty.

Asylum Brewing beer tender Mayra . Please stop and stay hello to the most friendliest beer tender.

Come and enjoy some of Anaheims favorite beers from the asylum Brewery. Friendly staff very welcoming. kid and pet friendly. Free WiFi , hours vary depending on the day. They also have a great selection of beers to go . The atmosphere is great. Pinball games are available to enjoy while enjoying your beverage. Hot dogs available with a full pour while supplies last. Come and enjoy . They also have 3 big screens TV to watch sports. Hope my review will bring you out and have a great time with friends or just to have a simple beer with you hotdog.

Cool spot with good beer. Our beer passport brought us here. It's close to where we live so will definitely come back. However, that being said we came in a Friday night and there's no food :( so we're just having our one beer and then will be leaving. Hubby and I came with the kids and PSA to other families, this one isn't the most family friendly. We're cool with the decor (we all love it) but the problem is not a lot of kid friendly seating. Plus it's a small space and it's our first time here so we didn't realize there isn't anywhere for the kids to run around. That doesn't knock anything off my rating but just an FYI for the other families that like to bring their kids to the brewery as well :) that being said, I'll still be back! But will have to make it an adults only spot for us and will make sure to check if food is being served the night we're coming since so we can plan accordingly! Would still recommend, great beer, good vibes, and seems like a fun spot.

Asylum brewery is a few steps away from Anaheim Packing House. Well more like a block next to the park. So in my opinion this place had some of the best service in the area. A small brewery but the Aslyum theme definitely carries out into the beers. A number of pinball machines for you to play. The staff here was great especially as I did not know what I want. Being a light beer drinker in a craft brewery has its fair share of difficulties however the bartender offered samples and guided me through. They recommended a Dark Lager which was Amazing! This southern Germanic style beer was delicious and was so nice to find out here. The customers were great as there was a raffle going on and it felt like the local community was included. Met a few furry friends along the way as well. In regard to the beer itself, some of the best I have had in this area surrounding the Packing House. The names themselves are clever if you take a look at the menu photos provided. Flights are available on the menu. This is nice as a lot of breweries in the OC don't even offer this option. The red lighting definitely ads a unique touch to this small space. No kitchen but they have food vendors outside that are always available for your hunger cravings.

Located in an industrial area on Lincoln and Loara in Anaheim. A definite #musttry #highlyrecommended From their website... A beer slushie is our beer served from a frozen slushie machine. Think of it like a Slurpee, Icee, or frosé, but that base is actually beer, chilled to perfection. Our slushies are typically just straight beer, but as some styles can change flavor once they are super cold, we may add agave syrup or additional purees to some slushie releases to achieve a frozen flavor that is closer to how the beer would taste as a regular draft pour. .

Radiant made my dad's celebration of life truly unforgettable. Caitlin Mikasa, the General Manager, was kind, responsive, accommodating, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She helped plan every detail, and our guests repeatedly praised the delicious food, excellent beer, and outstanding service. Kane, our bartender, was warm and welcoming and struck the perfect balance between respect for the occasion and celebration of a life well lived. I would highly recommend Radiant for any special event. The space, food, beer, atmosphere, and staff were all exceptional. I'll always be grateful that we were able to honor my dad--a TV director, guitar player, classic car collector, and very cool guy--in such a fitting place.

Brewery X is one of my new favorite breweries in the area! It's huge with a lot of indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating and a lively ambiance. They have a lot of screens throughout the brewery to watch the game, and there are food trucks with a variety of food. It gets pretty busy on weekends and on game days, so parking can be hard at peak times. Both the huckleberry and baja sipper seltzers were really good and sweet, and the baja sipper one tastes like mountain dew baja blast. We also got the bronx bomber pizza, which comes with marinara, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, jalapeno, garlic, and parmesan. I've heard good things about the pizza here, but it came out even better than I expected. The crust is thin but still soft and crisp. They do online orders for the pizza, but not on the weekends. We wanted to do a half and half pizza to try another kind, but they don't do that on the weekends either. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Probably the busiest brewery in Anaheim--and that's saying a lot…read more We tried visiting on a Friday night and couldn't find parking anywhere nearby. The lot was completely slammed, with a line of cars cruising and waiting for spots to open up. The surrounding industrial buildings weren't any better, with completely packed lots despite the heavy tow risk. Since we were in the area for a couple of days, we decided to come back the next afternoon, and the parking situation was much more manageable. It's easy to see why this place draws a crowd, though unfortunately, it's not for the beer itself. The industrial space is massive--both inside and out--with plenty of seating. There are screens everywhere, including a giant one on the patio that makes it a great spot for watching sports. You'll also find several stationary food trucks on-site serving up comfort food ranging from pizzas to loaded fries. It's very family-friendly in the afternoon hours, though the vibe likely shifts quite a bit once the sun goes down. The main issue--and the reason for the 3-star rating--is that this is a brewery, not just an event space, and the beer simply didn't impress. While there's a wide variety on tap, they don't offer tasters or flights, and everything is served in disposable plastic cups. You're forced to choose between half or full pours, which makes sampling more than a couple of beers a bit risky. To top it off, prices are fairly high with very little cost difference between half and full pours, making it clear they're pushing volume (and pitchers) over craft exploration. Ultimately, if you're looking for a lively social hub to hang out with friends, Brewery X is a solid option. But if you're searching for genuinely great craft beer, there are much better choices around.
