    The sandwiches were very fresh, savory, cheesy, flavorful, and delicious. Also, the dipping sauce was super savory, the honey barbecue potato chips were extremely crunchy, crispy, salty, and really tasty, and the lemonade tasted refreshing, too, excellent service, nice atmosphere, and I had a wonderful experience here today.

    GIVE MICHAEL A RAISE! Super cool dude and chill place. It's my first time here and parking is super easy and there are a wide range of beers. There are a lot of seats and TVs for the game. Service was super quick and everyone is so kind! I am grateful

    Pastrami
    Brandon M.

    Amazing and friendly service. Good prices (~12 ish dollar sandwiches, hot or cold). I got the Pastrami this time and it was one of the best I've had, even compared to renowned hole-in-the-wall places in LA. I've had the chicken club before too which was also . Nice variety of local beers as well. Random fact: you can leave your car overnight 1 night if needed, though I got a ticket saying I now have a 1-time "permanent warning" for next time... but they don't tow or fine for the first one. Staff confirmed you get 3 warnings.

    I came here today for a quick beer, and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a pretty solid beer line up and great prices. I appreciate they they had a pretty good size bar, too. The color blue makes the ambiance a very relaxing vibe. I would love to come back and try some of their food!

    They were quite busy on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, but thankfully I ordered online for pick-up. The order was waiting for me on the online mobile order pick-up shelves. Since you pay on the website, you can just easily pick up your order! With a quick glance into the restaurant, there was plenty of seating, however the thing that was holding up the line was that there was only one register open. I got the California Delight. Typically, I am not too fond of cream cheese on various foods, but surprisingly, all the ingredients provided a great balance of flavors and textures. The sandwich is a great portion size, while not feeling too heavy. I really like the addition of the sunflower seeds and sprouts which add a more unique crunchy texture to every bite.

    Chicken club

    My favorite place in Orange County for a sandwich and a beer. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Gives a family atmosphere as the guest. Absolutely love their beers and love their sandwiches. Must order extra signature sauce which is a sweet and sour sauce

    World cup!

    This place is amazing. They have a secret menu, and will customize pretty much anything if you're cool. Plus they've got multiple tvs where you can watch the world cup, while drinking amazing beer.

    This board & brew location has tasty sandwiches, quick service and a laidback vibe. Ambiance & Aesthetic: 7.5/10 the ambiance is chill laid back with a hangout bar, and some TVs to catch games or a race. The aesthetic is more New age beach vibe. Service: 8/10 The individual at the counter was friendly and welcoming, she took my order quick ensured everything was correct, and the food came out quick too. The chicken caesar wrap: 7/10 The wrap was robust with fillings, but the chicken was a bit dry, and the whole wrap was bit light on the dressing with having pockets of it throughout vs being tossed. The cucumbers & onions were fresh and a great crunch, but the tomato's had a little acidity or tartness to them almost unripened. They have an awesome selections of beers on tap as well, overall this place has great sandwiches and a cool local hangout spot!

    This Board & Brew location in Irvine's Oak Creek Shopping Center is the best possible version of any Board & Brew imaginable. The store is immaculately clean with amazing decor, the staff is super professional and hardworking and also caring, the food is really good and tastes the way it was meant to taste, and there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. Totally recommend this location if you're looking for some affordable and good-quality sandwiches!!

    This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the hospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful.

    Veggie sando
    Teagan T.

    There was a clip of a guy talking about seeing 'Ham Plate' on a menu somewhere and ordering it. Getting exactly what's described- a pile of ham, cheese and bread on the side. I found that speech to be not only relatable but incredibly inspiring. He goes, somehow my brain have been conditioned to think what's on the menu is something entirely fancy. Frivolous, maybe even a tad menacing. The sandwiches here are as substantial as the music, locals and fresh brews. The unfortunate thing is there's only one vegetarian sando but it is RICH with crisp and fresh. Delicious squaw and friendly staff. At Board and Brew you will find your people!

    Turkado
    Curtis L.

    Went one night and ordered the turkado. Was decently good, moist, and full of flavor. I decided to come back the next day and ordered the turkey club and a Baja beef. The Baja beef was okay but the turkey club was horrendous. It was really dry, and the bread felt like too much and that it didn't match the sandwich contents. Also, the "secret sauce" is a hit or miss with certain sandwiches, and at times feels unnecessary and just sweet. It does not pair well sometimes

    I came here for a happy hour with coworkers yesterday and had a great time! Hangar 24 is located in…read morea business park so it's right next to a big open campus with grass fields, and a few other businesses like coffee shops. The parking lot is behind a pay gate, but you can get your ticket validated at the brewery. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, with a variety of table sizes, so it can easily accommodate large groups. We sat outside. The outside seating area sort of has a neat, firepit-type vibe. They have some overhead fans but it was still pretty hot outside (it was a heat wave). I bet it usually feels fine though. Thankfully my drink helped cool me down! I ordered the Coronado Brewing, which is described as superfruit acai cider. I loved it! I'm not a big drinker but I've always loved Angry Orchard cider, so if you're like me, you would probably like the Coronado too. It's a deep red colored cider and can come in a 16 or 20oz. It can get loud here, even outside. I found that my voice was a bit scratchy after I got home from the happy hour with all the loud talking, but that's probably to be expected anywhere you go!

U2 and Coldplay cover bands the night we were there. Lots of room to run around for little ones. Tables to sit at but apparently they paid $100 per table just to be able to sit at it; that seems a bit steep to me. I guess the perk of that was that you can order food and/or drinks via the barcode on the table and it'll be brought right out to you (vs standing in a long line at the bar). I will say, the food and beverages did come out very quickly! If you don't get a table, there is plenty of room to sit in beach chairs that you bring or even a blanket laid down.

    This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

    Definitely make a reservation here! I believe there are only like 4 booths!…read moreWe were able to secure a booth because someone missed their reservation. You will have to go through the main tikibar (Stowaway) and walk to a side door in the back. The theme is along the lines of Pinocchio. After you enter the side door, you will be transported and see a story book. You will walk through a whale's mouth to get to your booth. There is so much to look at all around so take your time admiring the decor while you drink. The tiki drinks are different from Stowaway and are delicious! It's definitely more intimate so you can talk to the bartenders. Though since it's all booths, you won't really see them make the drinks. Overall, fun spot - intimate if you want the tiki vibes in a quieter location

    The Belly of the Beast - Pinocchio Speakeasy at Stowaway Tiki Bar, Tustin…read more The Belly of the Beast is a Pinocchio-themed speakeasy tucked inside Stowaway Tiki Bar in Tustin, and it's definitely a fun experience. You actually enter through the mouth of a whale, which immediately sets the tone. The decor and theming are really well done, with plenty of unique details that make the space feel immersive. The atmosphere is more intimate and private compared to the main tiki bar, which makes it a nice change of pace. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. The drinks were definitely the highlight. I had the Farewell Jimmy, Smoke the Monster Out, and Geppetto's Last Words--all three were great. Smooth, tropical, flavorful, and definitely potent. Service was okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, The Belly of the Beast is a cool place to check out if you enjoy themed bars and unique experiences. For me, it's probably more of a one-time experience rather than somewhere I'd regularly return to. Still, the creativity, decor, and cocktails make it worth experiencing at least once.
