Super cool bar inside of a food hall. It is open seating and outdoor so I was able to sit with my dog. We had a few martinis and beers and everything was great. I did get the mojito and it wasn't my favorite but it was okay, the mint didn't seem to be muddled very well. The service was great though, our bartender constantly checked in with us (and not in the annoying way lol) happy hour was a great deal.
This is a great little outdoor bar in the heart of a large corporate area, so it's perfect to grab a quick drink to unwind after work. The bartender is a super friendly guy and it looks like he knows all the locals - he let us sample a beer before ordering one and it didn't disappoint - the Lumino was a perfect light beer. They've got a handful of TVs on that are always playing sports, which is right up my alley. Definitely stop by, especially if you work nearby.
We stopped by here to check it out and have a drink as we waited for a table at Hiro Nori, it is located in an indoor space with multiple restaurants, so it's somewhat of a "center bar". Apparently, originally the hours used to be limited to daytime for all of the local office buildings, but now has evening hours, which we were definitely happy about! We were helped by Gavin, and he was great. Not only did he make some amazing drinks, but he was also very friendly and let my husband try a beer sample he was pondering over. The drinks i ordered were the Pink dahlia and the Pomegranate margarita, both amazing with great flavor and definitely on the sweeter side.
Parking can be challenging At the Trade but I love this bar. You get the outdoor breeze while being able to drink under a roof with shade. There's a good variety on top such as kombucha, red ale, ipa, double ipa, blonde and hefe. I like the their margaritas as well. Just ordered the pineapple coconut one, and it hit the spot. Service is good, quick and fast!
Always GOOD TIMES here at Center Hub!!! What I love about this place is that it feels like a Cheers bar, where everyone knows your name, but that's mainly coming from the bartenders, lol. Shout out to Tako, Nate & Sarah!!! They always have great music playing over the speakers making this place a vibe to sit and drink at while also keeping the conversation going! We also have taken our four-legged daughter Miley here to hang out with us while we have some tasty cocktails. Have I mentioned the surrounding restaurants around this bar???! There's probably about 10 different pop up restaurants to choose from within 15 feet of the bar. You can also bring your food back to the bar and eat it while you drink! I come here on a weekly basis and also on different days of the week! Tuesdays and Thursdays are cool days to be here at Center Hub. Thank you Center Hub for being our local "GO-TO" bar!! Thank you for the great tasting COCKTAILS!!!
What a good idea. I always love a decent place to grab a quick beer in a food court. No it is not a craft beer place like I usually prefer, but they do have a handful of craft beers on tap which is neat for such a small place. I was able to order my pad Thai at tuk tuk in the court, and while waiting for my food, grab a 34 oz stein of lost obey red ale, how cool is that. Great location with good food choices. Parking is a challenge however so be patient. Service was fast and friendly.
Great outdoor space with happy hour! If you sit by the bar, they'll bring you your drinks to the table. If you sit outside of the bar, you'll have to get your own drinks at the bar. There is plenty of seating around and outside the bar. Connected in the same plaza is a taco spot, boba, Thai, Japanese curry, fish and chips, and soon to be burger spot. They welcome outside food as well. They have happy hour pretty much every day. I really want to go back for Whiskey Wednesday. The best deal is $6 well drinks. I believe the rest is $1 off pours, menu cocktails, and wine. They only had one person making cocktails and another person pouring beer, so it can take awhile if there's a large group in front of you. Other than a possible longer wait, it's a pretty solid spot for simple drinks & beer that won't break the budget.

Always great service from the friendly bartenders. Love that it's in a food hall so I can grub while drinking. Happy hour is a good deal - try to go on tuesdays or wednesdays for the best deals. Crowd is a good mix of working professionals / locals. Overall chill vibe. read more

Not a fan of sweet things but this was perfectly balanced and refreshing highly recommend! read more
Fun little bar near SNA airport. It's next to a gourmet foodcourt, so there are plenty of food options available. This bar opens at 11:30am daily and closes around 9pm or 10pm. Happy hour starts at 3pm. Nice selection of craft beers on tap, as well as wine and cocktails. They even have some cocktails to go! read more

Take a load off and let Gabe make you a nice glass of : enter your choice : and enjoy. Try his own Gabe's prickly pear or something with whiskey (he knows a lot about whiskey). We found it by waiting for our food from London Chippy, my wife liked Gabe's prickly pear so much she had two. read more

Lordy mercy praise the Lord, there's a full bar in the joint! Looking for dranks at Trade? This is it. The setup at Trade is a little confusing in this section. It's sectioned off, but not really. Can you eat here? Or only drink here? As long as you order a drink, you can sit here and bring your food in from any of the other nearby vendors. If you sit here because there are no seats in the courtyard and you don't order a drink, then they will give you the stink eye. So act like you would at any other bar and order a drink! I was here for a Sunday during Happy Hour (open until 2 p.m.) and well drinks were $5. I asked for Whiskey Sour and the girl said she could do it for me. My friend asked for a Moscow Mule, which she said she could make that also for Happy Hour. But... I got the feeling that because they make craft drinks, that they don't consider these well drinks, where in most standard bars they would qualify as well drinks. The drink was $5 and after it was made we were notified that there was a $1 upcharge because they used fresh lime juice. The additional cost was not an issue, because $6 + tax for a good drink is always worth it. But I do think it would be good for them to disclose the extra $1 before they make your drink, because some people might take issue with that. I would take fresh juice versus packed lime juice any day! Whiskey Sour - My whiskey sour was on point. Good balance of tart, sweet, and alcohol strength, the type that would want to make you order one or two more of them. Moscow Mule - This was also good, ginger beer with New Amsterdam vodka. Limey with ginger bite and not weak on the vodka. Happy Hour Specials: $5 - Well Cocktails, Bottled Beers, 8 oz Mimosas, Mini Bloody Marys $1 off - 16 oz or 22 oz Draft Beers $1 off - Red and White Wine Glasses Happy Hour Hours: Monday-Friday: 3 pm - 6 pm Saturday and Sunday: Open- 2 pm Regular Drink Prices: Most Standard Draft Beers (Refuge, Pizza Port, Trum Pils, Golden Road, Barley Forge and their House Beers): $8 for 16 oz and $10 for 22 oz. Bottled Beers (Corona, Bud Light, Coors Light, Heineken, Michelob Ultra, Miller Lite, Sapporo, Stella Artois): $6 Signature Cocktails are $9-$13. They also have some other top shelf whiskey, etc. Wine by the glass or bottle: Varies read more
Aside from the pain of finding a parking spot in the area. This is a perfectly placed bar in an area full of eating options. Perfect for day drinking and night. I prefer to start early :P. Came here to drink when I tried out Two Birds and Portside Fishery. Super nice and chill bartender (was trying to convince people to take tequila shots in the middle of the day). Good drinks, well-crafted, and reasonably price. Happy hour deals pretty good ($6 well drinks). Good cocktail menu as well. I went with the old-fashioned (buff trace), manhattan (woodford res), whiskey sour (makers) and well-whisky w/ ginger beer. Overall, great location, nice open seating area, nice bartender, good menu/price, and delicious cocktails. Will be back the next time I decide to dine in the area. read more
I wrote my original review quite recently so I'll just go ahead and edit it. The Center Hub owner, Jamie, reached out on my review that their bartender had a family emergency on the day of my last visit so it caused much delay to their set up and my orders. I completely understand and emergencies come up, so my coworker and I came back to give them a second chance. This visit started our basically the same... They open at 11am and I did not leave the office until 11am. My coworker and I had time to drive over and order our lunches from other businesses inside of the TRADE food court before we headed over here. Jamie was in the process of opening up and he welcomes us and he said he will call the bartender. So the bartender comes by... he walked behind the bar... he's posing... he's TEXTING!!!!!!!!! Umm, excuse me, YOU HAVE CUSTOMERS WAITING!! And then to the drinks... My coworker orders a Blue Hawaiian and I asked the bartender for recommendations. He recommended the Ginger Snap ($13). I read the description and I honestly said no thanks I want something PRETTY. That's all I asked for. He hyped it up soooo much he said he will make it especially pretty for me. Umm, please look at my picture. It is a muddy looking BROWN drink with NO GARNISH and I think it was the most expensive item on the menu. There was nothing pretty about it. So it was an overpriced ugly drink, oh well, but it also tasted bad. I like ginger, ginger ale, ginger beer, but I did not like this ginger snap. And okay Jamie, I know I know... Center Hub will remake drinks to your liking BUT I do not have TIME to wait for another drink. I did not care to take a third sip and my coworker tried a sip and hated it too. My coworker puts it perfectly when she said, "It is such a shame that this place has such nice ambiance but such bad drinks. I don't mind that these drinks are small and over priced but I do mind that they waste my time and serve me sub par drinks. At this point I don't care to come back even if I am already in this food court. I left on my second visit feeling MORE UPSET than my first visit... They should be happy I'm not 2 staring this place. ~~ Original Review: Center Hub really picked a good spot to open since they are the only bar in the Trade food court. There is an ample amount of seating and I really enjoy the décor, but their drink selection is a bit limited for my liking. Happy Hour: Monday to Friday: 3-6pm. Saturday and Sunday: Open - 2pm. - $5 Well Cocktails, Bottled Beers, 8oz Mimosas, Mini Bloody Marys - $1 off 16oz/22oz House Draft Beer and Red and White wine So on the day I came they were suppose to open at 11am. I did head over until 11am and then I had ordered from two other businesses before I made my way over here and they were still not ready to go. Sorry if you're open at 11am, I expect you to be ready by 10:59am. After a bit of a delay, my coworker ordered an Endless Summer ($10) and I ordered their seasonal Blood Orange Mojito ($10). The drinks were pretty but so SMALL!! And not to mention it was really weak. I liked the fancy strawberry sugar used on the rim of my drink, but I did not taste any mint in this concoction. It tasted like a strawberry orange fruity drink missing the alcohol. As we were leaving my coworker wanted to order a quick well drink, I believe a vodka pineapple. She paid for the drink and then the girl mentions she has to go into the back to get the pineapple juice. What tha heck?? It's almost an hour after opening and you guys are still unprepared. So basically my coworker had to settle for a vodka cranberry so they don't waste too much of our time. If I am already in the Trade food court I can see myself stopping by, but this is definitely not something I would go out of my way for. read more

This place is located within the Trade area, which is like a hipster food court place. They have separate tables and seats that are reserved for the bar patrons, so it is kind of nice to enjoy some beer or cocktails without having to rush and fight for tables with everyone else in the food court. The vibe is nice, and the cocktails I tried from my friends were decent, but because the bar is feels like like another pop-up shop right next to all these other food areas, it kind of lost the vibe and feel generally associated with a more hipster bar. Overall a cool place to drink if you're eating at one of the other restaurants, but not a place I would go out of my way to go to. read more
Center Hub is my new favorite spot for cocktails. This is a casual bar serving custom cocktails and beer at fair prices. Crafted cocktails usually go for $14.00 at other bars and I was able to get the best version of a spicy drink for $11.00. (La Chancia) The bartender was very friendly and judging from the taste of his concoctions very talented. Love this place! read more
A bit pricy for drinks, but it's convenient since it's one of the only places at Trade that serves a variety of alcoholic beverages. Usually two pints of beers will run me $20+ with tax and tip. They do run in 3 different sizes though. read more

I lost my ID a couple of days ago. Will they take my US passport?
Hi! Absolutely. As long as it’s still valid, we’re happy to take a passport as ID!
