Misogynist bartender
Carolyn D.

I came here last night and waited patiently at the bar to order like everyone else. It was busy but I was talking to the girl next to me who had arrived after me. We established that we would point out the other when one of the bartenders finally got to us. After 15 minutes, the bartender locked eyes with me so I gave a smile and wave to indicate I would like service. He waved back, fingers under the chin (à la Little Rascals) so I smiled and did it back. He then lifted up his shirt and showed his nipples, miming "show me your t***," while laughing about it with his coworker. I was there at the bar for 30 minutes when he got to us but he ignored us and took the orders of the group who literally just showed up. We had to wave and insist we had been waiting. He reluctantly took all our orders and repeated it back to us but only made the other party's drinks & went on to serve new customers, never even making ours. I came here to support a friend who was DJing but would not come back because of this experience . This is sexual harassment and he had zero remorse or professionalism. Don't waste your time or money. We left, without being served after nearly 40 minutes, even after ordering twice.

Loveee the pozole here and the vibes:)I got a small bowl and ended up ordering another one because it was so good!! Bartender CC is awesome too

Best experience at a downtown Fullerton bar!

I went in today, first time since it was Joe's. I wasn't sure how the place changed since the last time I went (quite some time ago). The bartender Yvette is 100% why I would go back!!! She was SOOO welcoming and had the best recommendations for drinks and food! AND she was the nicest, most attentive bartender I've had in a really long time! Service goes a long way and I will definitely be back literally because of her! I haven't been other times during the week or know the other bartenders but if they are anything like Yvette, this place is worth it anytime or any day!!! The food was also AMAZING!!!

This one is personal !

A peek into Irish pub. This one is a bit personal. Gnasher, my puppy first mingle at the pub. And there's some peronal stuffs about this Irish pub. The town is very tiny and a lot of pubs around the corner. I usually end up here and it's remind me of Brooklyn dive bar. When I was young, I used to work in Dorian Gray Irish pub in East Village, NYC. Foods are ok and drinks are cheap. There's live music and grand piano as you see in the picture. I'll keep it by myself why this is more personal spot for me. Many bars around and I choose to be here. Packed in the weekend for sure.

The Disney Drag Sbow was Amazing!

The pastrami burger is it! To the chef, compliments to you!! Service is good once you flag your server/bartender.

Patio life @Callahans
Jase K.

The new & improved place is already kicking ass. Come patio here to watch sports, live music or enjoy the camaraderie with friends or strangers alike. New menu has all the hits too.

The $16  drink i paid for but never drank because I complained that my food was taken before I finished eating it.

Yea you can bring your dogs to the outside patio area. But its funny how the majority of people think their dogs are more well behaved then they really are. If i come back I'll try to sit inside. The menus were sticky and crumbly from being too wet. Not very great to touch. They have a late night happy hour, which starts after 8pm. Yes they have a lot of things that are on their regular menu that appears in their HH menu. The HH alternatives were not good, and yea they are a couple bucks cheaper, but Ill stick to their regular menu offerings next time. For example their flat bread was basically on toasted sourdough bread. Their ahi tuna had more fluff in it then tuna. It just wasent worth. Customer service was not good. I think our waitress was annoyed that we waited to order more food, until it was happy hour. Yea all 4 of us only ordered 1 entrees, but we did order a bunch of apps and 1 drink each. But took forever to pay our bill. I almost jist went up to the front. The wait was ridiculous. Easy 20 min wait. And the crazy thing was she just kept going to the other tables around us and basically ignored us. Were trying to get out of your (very short) hair girl. Take my money and let us go. Like c'mon, not cool. Yes the food is ok. Better last time without ordering from their HH menu. Drinks are good. So many other restaurants to try around. Dont know if Ill be back.

The staff are always so attentive and kind and are part of the reason that we keep coming back. We felt the need to speak up for something we witnessed. When we were visiting this Tuesday, September 1st, a bit after happy hour, we couldn't help but overhear how entitled and rude the table next to us was being to our server. I'm someone that has been working in the food and beverage industry for years, but it doesn't take that experience to see that the restaurant was clearly full. Our server was tending to every table on the bar side including ours and was attentive and kind. The table next to us was making a scene and acting like our server was supposed to wait on them hand and foot. We were having a great time and decided to ignore them for a while, but eventually we noticed the gentleman from that table get up and follow our server into the kitchen when she was clearly in the middle of something. She informed him that he could not be in the employee's only area and to that he told her "Shut up, I'm not listening to you anymore". We're not sure if he felt like he had the right to talk to her like this because she's hispanic, but there is no excuse. The staff put up with too much nonsense here. 5 Stars for the craft, the service, and the patience. We've never seen this couple here and we hope to never see them disturb the peace at this establishment again!

We returned with friends and were pleasantly surprised by how lively it felt. The space is still a little tight, but it was filled with younger couple, though maybe I'm just the old person in the room now. In any case, we enjoyed our meal, and the service was excellent. I'm planning to come back and add this restaurant back into our regular rotation. We usually go to Summit House or Brea Chop House, but we'll definitely give this place another try.

The venue appeared to be focused on creating a nightclub atmosphere rather than providing a proper football watch party. There was a DJ, extremely loud music, and a host who continuously provided her own commentary throughout the match. Instead of allowing fans to enjoy the game, she repeatedly interrupted play with jokes, personal observations, and constant microphone chatter that distracted from the match. Halftime was especially frustrating. Rather than preparing for the second half, the host performed multiple songs while fans on the patio were asking for the match audio to be turned on. Even after the game resumed, the unnecessary commentary continued for the remainder of the match. To make matters worse, there was a $30 cover charge. I purchased tickets for my entire group in advance, spending well over $200 before food and drinks. For that price, I expected a venue that understood people were there to watch one of the biggest sporting events in the world--not to watch the host become the center of attention. A great World Cup watch party lets the match create the atmosphere. The crowd, the chants, the tension, and the emotion are what make these events memorable. Unfortunately, those moments were constantly interrupted. I genuinely wanted to like Chako's Social, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. If you're looking for a true football viewing experience where the game comes first, I cannot recommend it based on my visit.

I usually prefer a thick slice but it was good that I got the 7oz cuz I had to force myself to finish the meat and leave the sides. Instead of the Yorkshire Pudding (English Popover) I opted for scalloped potatoes. I will get mashed potatoes next time. Your other side is creamed spinach and the table gets creamed corn (one of my faves) Parking is complimentary. You can either seek parking yourself or opt for valet, which is also complimentary but gratuity is appreciated. The Tavern (Bar area) is open from 4:00pm til 6:00pm for Happy Hour and the restaurant is open starting at 5:00pm. Plenty of parking at this time.

Unfortunately, compared to many other steakhouses and restaurants I've visited, Summit House fell a little short. We ordered the: 1. French Onion Soup Gratinee 2. Bone Marrow Mac & Cheese 3. Chesapeake Bay Style Crab Cakes 4. House Cut Prime Rib 5. Chef Tim's Truffle Fries The complimentary bread was a little dry, which wasn't the best start to the meal. The French Onion Soup and Crab Cakes were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. I was especially looking forward to the Bone Marrow Mac & Cheese, but it didn't impress me. I've had much better bone marrow at other restaurants. As for the House Cut Prime Rib, it was okay, but not the best I've had. The truffle fries were ok, but again, nothing that stood out. On a positive note, the service was great! The staff was attentive and professional, and you can tell this is a well-established restaurant that's been around for quite some time. It has that classic, old-school steakhouse atmosphere, and the restaurant is quite spacious, making it a good option for larger gatherings, birthday celebrations, or family dinners. The view was alright, but nothing particularly spectacular despite the restaurant the Golf Course view. I was expecting a little more given how much the location and views are highlighted. Overall, I can understand the appeal if you live nearby and want a nice dinner without having to travel far. However, I'd personally rather drive a little farther for a better meal. For a birthday celebration that required a 45-minute drive, I was hoping for something a little more memorable. The service was definitely the highlight, but the food itself didn't live up to my expectations. Glad I gave it a try, but I'm not sure if I would make a special trip back.
