Was able to grab a quick dinner on a week night without a long wait at the bar, where the bartenders were super helpful with taking our orders and beer/cider selection. I ordered the empanadas and it was not a mistake, if you like chicken pot pie, these are like handheld versions, which perfectly hit the spot. I forgot what cider I ordered, but they were great about giving me small samples of the current ones I was interested in to try and see what I liked. Parking was not cheap, but validating was a very easy process. read more

Ballast Point - Empanadas - Brewpubs Near Me - Anaheim, California

We hadn't been back to Downtown Disney since COVID, so tonight we were excited to finally return and have dinner as a family. We decided to eat here because, surprisingly, there was no wait on a Saturday night. Looking back, that probably should've been our first red flag. We asked the host how long the wait would be for outdoor seating and were told about 5 minutes. However, once we got upstairs, we were taken to a table tucked away in a corner indoors instead. Our server was very sweet, attentive, and helpful, but unfortunately, the food and overall experience were extremely mediocre. For a brewery, I was surprised that the beers weren't even served in chilled glasses. The michelada I ordered was probably the spiciest I've ever had--and not in an enjoyable way. The buffalo wings were the complete opposite and had basically no spice at all; even my kids ate them without a problem. They came with a tiny cup of ranch, and we had to ask for more. We also weren't given any wet wipes or anything to clean our hands afterward. The asado plate was probably the biggest disappointment. The meat was extremely tough and very fatty. Out of the four pieces we received, only about two were actually edible. The fries that came with it were hard and seemed undercooked. On top of that, our table was sticky, and the overall atmosphere just wasn't what we expected from a restaurant inside Downtown Disney. For the location and the prices, I was really hoping for a much better dinner and overall experience with my family. Unfortunately, between the food quality, cleanliness, and lack of atmosphere, this was disappointing and not somewhere we'd choose to dine again. read more

Totally unacceptable experience. It was 98 degrees outside, and the AC inside was completely out of commission. If you are going to charge $18 for a pint of beer, having working air conditioning is the absolute bare minimum. Beyond how uncomfortable it was as a customer, l genuinely felt bad for the staff. We got to leave after a drink, but the employees were stuck working long shifts sweating through their clothes in what felt like an oven. Management needs to do better-both for the customers paying premium Downtown Disney prices and for the team working on their feet. Not a good look at all, Ballast point read more

Our food was really good. They have you download an app and that's how you order and pay. It was kinda impersonal, different people brought different things. It did run really smooth but I do prefer the one on one experience. See my pics read more

I am a fan of Ballast Point because the prices are pretty reasonable for the pours and there's always a seat at the bar when we visit. This time we came in it was a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't extremely busy due to the heat. The guy at the check-in downstairs told us we could go up and there were 2 seats at the bar. There were 2 seats but they were on opposite sides of each other haha! So we sat at a high top which was perfectly fine for us. I love that you order via QR code so you don't have to wait for a server to get your drinks/food going. They are also on the InKind app so that's amazing! We had a coupon and that saved us some moolah. We ordered a few beers and a sangria and the bratwurst with japanese potato salad for my guy. He really liked that dish and recommends it. The sangria is strong and yummy! They will let you have a splash of a beer to try. Our server was always around if needed anything. The Magic Key mystery menu was a cute touch but we didn't order anything from it. read more

We were originally going to go to Black Tap because I wanted a burger but I wasn't willing to wait in the super long line. Next door, at Ballast Point, the line was a little more manageable to wait and they have an exclusive menu for Magic Key Holders which I thought was really cool. We got the mussels and rockfish ceviche that was on the Magic Key Holder Exclusive Menu. Very underwhelming and disappointing - no flavor and very liquidy. Hard no all day long. I only took a bite or two and that was enough for me. BP Burger was mid. Average at best. I definitely had second thoughts about not waiting in line at Black Tap. I would have much preferred to eat there, but I'm glad I tried this place because I don't have to wonder if it's good or not. I know the answer now. The fries were the highlight for me. It was busy, but it was also a Saturday. There are definitely better choices in the area that I'd rather eat at. Food was eh. Service was eh. read more

I went only for beer. I came for the King of the Hill collab. I got the Alamo lager and it was very good. Ballast is known for brewing and it didn't disappoint. I'm not much of a beer drinker but it had a nice taste and still held its strength. Service was quick as I ordered from the bar. When I thought about ordering food its just a qr on the table and they bring it right out. The staff was very attentive to it as well. Vibes were great. Make sure to get a seat by the window to people watch Downtown Disney! read more

My wife and I were invited to join two other couples for dinner at this restaurant. My first impression was that this place looked like a fun place to dine. You check in on the first floor and either take the elevator or the stairs to the second floor, which is where the dining area and bar are located. The restaurant is very nice and large. Employees were extremely friendly and welcoming, and they even offer a gift shop selling t-shirts, hoodies, caps, etc., bearing the restaurant's name and logo. Once seated, we had a great view of a portion of downtown Disney down below. The seats were very comfortable, and the tables were fully stocked with condiments and other items. The menu offered so many delicious-sounding options. I decided on a Cobb salad plus an order of fries, and a beer, while my wife has a personal-sized cauliflower-based pizza. Both of our meals were PERFECT!! They were tasty, fresh, and well-prepared. The rest of our group had numerous other food items, and they were all as satisfied and happy with their choices as we were. The service we received from our waiter was GREAT as he was attentive and friendly. The vibe here is relaxed and fun. We can't wait to return. read more

This place is very good! The food was delicious, they have a wide range of drinks, and the atmosphere is awesome. There's inside and outside seating, with some of the inside seating facing Downtown Disney. The only reason I didn't rate it 5/5 is due to the service! Although they're all super nice, every time I've gone it has taken a LONG time to get their attention if we needed anything. My last time it took around 10 minutes to get the check. If you're here for Disneyland, it was a little difficult to eat here since it took a while - so just be mindful if you have any lightning lane time slots! read more

Thank you for being allergy friendly! Service was quick and friendly and they answered additional questions regarding our son's nut allergy. We ordered drinks first via the mobile app and then food. Our 8 and 12 year old sons devoured their meals and were excited that they offered chocolate milk and lemonade as drink options. My husband and I shared tacos and fish and chips - both good! This is definitely an easy place to bring the kids and enjoy a meal. read more

The restaurant is upstairs and also has elevator access. The large room was quite warm on an extremely hot Tuesday. The air conditioner obviously not keeping up. However service was fairly quick for our early dinner. The birria tacos were stuffed with meat and crunchy. The BP burger is a thick, charred chunk of hamburger that actually has a great beefy flavor, on a soft bun. The Cobb salads had a bit of a kick in the seasoning, and were generously sized. Looking back at old pics of the Cobb, the bacon presentation is more skimpy( crumbles versus torn pieces). read more

Came here after our Disney date for some brews. We went up the stairs so fast thinking it would be really hard to find seats but we were very surprised on how many areas to pick and sit at on a Friday night! I think we were just lucky! We got some beers and an entree to share. Can't go wrong with Pineapple sculpin and Wahoo White! We had a lot of snacks to eat in Disney but still wanted to munch on something with our beer. We decided with their nachos. Really wish they would layer the toppings better on the nachos. The bottom had no sauce or toppings left. Heavy loaded on top but pretty minimal for the protein. It was decent. Servers were really good and attentive at the bar. Got our validation for the parking and when you spend over $20 at table service. You'll get 6 hours validated for parking at downtown Disney! read more

This is the place you come if you're looking to get a little buzzed in Downtown Disney. There's a plethora of beers on tap (obviously) plus cocktails, shots, wine. The possibilities are endless! We stopped by on a Saturday evening and were able to get on the waitlist and sat within 15 minutes or so (they don't take reservations so you check in at the host stand on the first floor and head up to the first floor when it's time to be sat). The food is a bit mid, nothing to write home about. I got the fish tacos. For Magic Key holders, there is a special Magic Key menu which I thought was pretty cool! I paired my tacos with a Baja Sipper which is essentially the alcoholic version of a Baja blast, omg so good. Like, scary good. Highly recommend. read more

The atmosphere is chill here. Sat outside on the upstairs patio. It was nice since we had good weather. The food is ordered on a QR code. It's okay but not great, but prices are crazy. The fish and chips were good. The fish could have been crispy but wasn't terrible. The fries were good. The beer is okay but don't get a picture only a description of the beer. The service is ehh since you order from the QR code you don't have a set server. So getting water too a long time. The cleanup is kind of rushed so they took my drink before I was done, and tried to take our fries. Not really impressed by that kind of service. read more

Food is delicious. Husband got BP Dawg, kiddo got a hamburger, and I got fish and chips. The fries are perfect. The lack of stars is for the lack of service. Took so long to get our order in, never got asked if we needed a refill on drinks. Mind you they have a 2 hour limit on their tables so sitting here waiting takes up that time. Ambience is chill, it isn't wild like most brewery/bars would get. Overall I'd come back for the food. The service needs to be cleaned up a bit. read more

Ballast Point - 10/10 experience was greeted with friendliness and amazing attitude. Loved it here! - Brewpubs Near Me - Anaheim, California

Love Ballast Point! Perfectly located in Downtown Disney among restaurants, small bites and endless shops. It's the perfect hideout for dads to chill and relax and enjoy a nice cold brew while the wife and kids go shopping! It's my oasis! This brewery has a laid-back, "backyard" vibe on the rooftop, while the indoor area is more industrial and lively. You can sit back and drink while watching over the Downtown Disney District. Known for quality California-inspired pub food, specifically the pretzel with mustard, wings, fish tacos, burgers, and extensive beer flights. Service is great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making great food and beer recommendations! read more

Just had lunch here while at Downtown Disney! Staff is wonderful, very accommodating! I had to park my mobility cart and take elevator...(the restaurant is on 2nd floor) we were seated rather quickly which was nice, my daughter and I each ordered salads for our entrees and a Bavarian pretzel as an app! The cheese sauce was so yummy!! My daughter had the chicken Caesar which she couldn't finish it was huge! i had the cobb salad, this was the best cobb i have ever eaten, fressh chopped bacon, chopped lettuce, kale, the creamiest egg, fresh avocado, and i opted for the house dressing and a side of ranch yummy!!! read more

Ballast Point is adjacent to Black Tap in the Downtown Disney District. I've often confused the two as the entrances are in close proximity and are easily confused for each other. Ballast point is actually located upstairs and has a very nice vibe and in addition to a view of the down town Disney area. Surprisingly good food. You cannot go wrong as there are many options to choose from. Disney Magic Key holders also have the option to view a secret menu. Nice choices and one that I won't spoil here. Find out for yourselves people. I will simply say that Ballast Point is certainly worth a visit and the prices are not out of line and a wonderful option on a busy Disney Day. read more

After a full Disney day, this was the perfect quick stop. We walked up to the bar upstairs, grabbed a self-seat, and just exhaled. We shared the fish and chips and a blood orange seltzer. The seltzer was so good -- crisp, refreshing, exactly what you want after walking 20k steps. The fish and chips were solid and flavorful. My only thing is I wish the portions were a little bigger like most traditional fish and chips spots. Still good nonetheless and hit the spot. We'll definitely be back for the seltzer and to try more of the menu, especially since we've got those Disney passes and will be in the area a lot. read more

Starving after a tough Hyrox workout at the convention center, we wandered through Downtown Disney searching for food and landed on Ballast Point; already a fave thanks to their stellar beer selection. The downstairs hostess quoted us a 35-minute wait (it was a busy Sunday), and we got a text when our table was ready. Quick elevator ride up, another friendly host guided us to a table tucked behind a festive, Christmas-decorated bar. Service was upbeat and efficient, even with the crowds. We ordered a round of food: -Fish tacos: A letdown. The fish was perfectly battered and fried but needed serious seasoning, tasted a bit plain. -Quesabirria tacos: YUM. Rich, flavorful, and satisfying. -Miso cauliflower: Winner! Served in a little skillet, drenched in creamy, spicy miso sauce. I could have this every single day. -Garlic fries (chips upcharge): Loved the taste, but $6 to swap chips for fries felt pricey, especially given the portion. The biggest drawback: the inflated prices ($140-ish for 2 beers and food) were hard to swallow. But thanks to our attentive, friendly server and great beer lineup, I'd still come back again. Next time for a few apps and drinks rather than a full family meal. read more

On a summer week night, they were able to accommodate our large group with no wait. It's a clean restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. There's a decent food and beverage menu. I ordered the chicken pot pie empanadas as I didn't want to order a large meal knowing I was heading back into the park afterward. Empanadas were tasty, but one still had filling that was a little chilled. The other two were fine. Docking a star for the lack of consistency and cold food. read more

Ballast Point in Downtown Disney is such a great spot. The location alone is a win -- you go up the elevator or stairs and walk into this big, open space with tons of seating options. There's a large bar you can sit at, regular tables you can be seated at, plus an outdoor patio bar that's first come, first served, along with more tables outside. We chose to sit at the outside bar, and it was perfect. The weather was nice, it was shaded, and not too hot at all -- exactly what you want on a warm day. The bartender was super nice and friendly and really helpful. They walked us through the different beers, explained them, and even gave us little tastes so we could find the right one. I ended up going with the Top Secret IPA, which was excellent. For food, I had the poke bowl and it was great -- fresh and really flavorful. My mom ordered the hamburger and said it was also great. Overall, the vibes are great, the service is great, and it's just a really nice place to enjoy a cold beer on a hot day. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Downtown Disney. read more

Great location in downtown Disney. Vibe is low key and they have a great selection of beer. Sunday evening around 4:30pm wasn't too crowded even though it was Disney marathon weekend. We waited only 5 minutes for them to set up our table. They have special "catch of the day" beers for $9 16oz pour. The fish and chips and dry rub wings are also great shareables. Nachos were just ok. read more

Speedy and friendly service at downtown Disney. All the brews are exceptional quality and flavor. I've never had a bad beer at Ballast Point. Love that it reminds me of my hometown San Diego. We also tried the ceviche which was fresh and well balanced with veggies. Perfect amount of citrus. I also had their lobster roll which had a generous amount of lobster. It was chilled lobster which was interesting as I've had it warm at other places but still delicious. My siblings had their fish tacos and nachos and were very happy with their meals. Definitely a go to restaurant and brewery when in Downtown Disney!!! read more

Someone definitely needs to come out and fix the AC, especially during these HOT August/September days. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FIX THE AC!

During a Downtown Disney District date, we chose to eat at Ballast Point. We were seated at their upstairs bar area, which was nicely decorated for this Halloween. There were lots of pumpkins hanging down over the bar and there was even a large pumpkin skeleton that was hovering over some of the tables. Ordering was via a QR code and we chose to get a few sharable plates and a salad. We got the Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas ($20), Aji Lime Verde Wings ($19) and House Salad ($15). It was actually the Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas on the menu that convinced us to try this place. We definitely had high expectations for this. This plate came with two empanadas filled with chipotle chicken pot pie over a roasted pepper mash and garnished with herb slaw and green chili oil. It was plated beautifully. However tastewise, we were slightly disappointed that the empanadas were a bit over fried. It seemed like they may have left these in the fryer a little too long because the crust a bit hard. I was expecting a nice, crisp exterior. Despite the disappointing hard crust, the filling of the empanada was tasty. I actually didn't even need the herb slaw garnish. (I would even go as far as saying to skip the herb slaw which I found slightly bitter in taste). The Ahi Lime Wings came with eight wings. Similar to the Chicken Pot Pie Wings, these also seemed over fried. Despite being a bit over fried, I still found the wings to be enjoyable. The wings were flavorful with a good spice kick due to its aji lima verde sauce. I also enjoyed the queso fresco and fried maiz. (I do have to note the fried maiz reminded me of corn nuts snacks haha). Surprisingly the best meal for our visit was the House Salad. This salad consisted of spring mix, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers all tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was fresh and tasty! It made for a good pairing with the fried food. Overall I felt like the food here had potential. The flavors were good but it was just a shame that both the empanada and wings were over fried. read more

Unfortunately, the food at this restaurant was a little disappointing. After a long day at the Disneyland parks, we were looking for something filling so we decided to go to ballast point and get some carne asada nachos, it was so small with barely any meat. The price was $22!!!! I can't believe they charge that much for something that is so small it was more like chips and salsa. We were still hungry so we had to order more food, ended up with some quesabirria, that was delicious and I wish we would've ordered that from the beginning, but still very small portions for the price. We used to come to this restaurant a ton before and we've never had an experience like this so we were definitely disappointed. read more

We stopped into Ballast Point in Downtown Disney for a little snack--specifically the Skullcuterie. We chose to sit at the patio bar, which offered a great view of Downtown Disney. The service was excellent, and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a beer flight to go with our Skullcuterie, and all of the beers were tasty and refreshing. Everything on the Skullcuterie board was delicious, though the only downside was that it didn't come with nearly enough bread. Thankfully, if you ask, they'll bring you as many extra pieces as you need at no additional charge--a nice touch, especially considering the dish isn't cheap. We didn't try any of the main dishes this time, but overall, this is a great spot for lunch or dinner while visiting Downtown Disney. We'd definitely come back to try more. read more
