To locate the restaurant, go up the stairs on the side. Happy hour is every day, 4-6PM The drinks are good and they have a good selection of beers and cocktails. You order at the bar and the service is quick. The food, however, is underwhelming. Regular fries are not great but the Cajun fries are better. Fries are enough to feed 2-3 people. The chicken tenders on the other hand are very small, and you get more sauce than chicken. The good thing about it is that the food was cheaper during happy hour. Some of the chairs/benches were uncomfortable, but overall, sitting outside is nice.

I've been coming here for years, but after my most recent experience, I will not be returning. I…read morewas treated with clear disrespect and unfair service by one of the staff members. I came in with friends and ordered a pitcher along with several shots. The server, a young white male, brought the shots and only one cup of beer. I immediately told him I had ordered a pitcher, but he insisted I never said that -- even though I had already been charged. To avoid arguing, I told him to just bring a pitcher and charge me again respectfully. He refused and told me I would have to go back and wait in line if I wanted one. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said the manager was unavailable. We later noticed him walking around the patio taking pitcher requests from other customers and bringing them directly to their tables without sending them back in line. We politely asked again, and he said "okay," but repeatedly ignored us, walking past our table multiple times. When my friend followed up, he suddenly claimed he couldn't serve us and again told us to get back in line. There was no clear reason for the difference in treatment. Watching others get served while we were repeatedly refused, despite being respectful customers, made the situation feel discriminatory. As Latino customers in a predominantly Latino community, the behavior came across as biased and unacceptable. It's extremely disappointing because I've supported this place for nearly a decade and had never experienced anything like this before. Unfortunately, this interaction completely changed my view of this establishment. I would not recommend coming here if respectful and fair service matters to you.

I liked how much variety they used to have and they make good beers which is why I'd always come! I really enjoy that they have an indoor and outdoor area.

There are indoor high tables and outdoor bench tables under a lighted tent. Ample seating, metal chairs. Nice women's restroom (FYI the faucet on the left doesn't turn off. I turned it off each time I went to the restroom and I don't know how long it had been running.) They don't serve food, but you can bring in your own. They have a bunch of games for you to borrow, enjoy, and return. They have a pretty fun collection of beers, some with interesting names; plus some non alcoholic ones (such as Athletic). They provide the alcohol content for each and you can taste before ordering. Alas, two of us were there for the fellowship and don't like beer. For us, there was a refrigerator with a variety of sodas, a mineral water, and an apple juice. There's also a water dispenser with cups if you prefer. Sorry, no ice, but if you grab a can or bottled beverage, you can ask for a glass, and the cashier found a straw for me as well.

It's a gigantic place with plenty of seating, and a LOT of theme-ing! Park up and stroll over into their main area to really get a lay of the land. There's some seating inside and outside, depending on how you're feeling! We opted to grab a pitcher of somethin' light and got straight to getting the grub! Now they've got some really fun stuff going on here. There's this family of food trucks that lives in the lot, and they're serving up some scrumptious snacks...well not even just snacks. They're serving up whole meals from these trucks. In fact, one reddit user says that this might be some of the best pizza in all of Orange County! So, to get going, we ordered a double smash burger, the duck fat poutine, the JP Aloha pizza, and a caesar. Y'all, they have far more options for you to try too, but these are all we could muster with the 3 stomachs we had. Yeah, that's right, shoutout to Jess for joining us this time! You've got an ooey gooey burger with some special sauce, pickles, and some beefy patties! MMm, it's great! And it comes in this cute sleeve! Check out the salad too, it's super well-dressed, crispy, and those fried capers really give it a briny pop! The fries ain't no slouch either! Duck fat's delicious, and bacon, cheese, and gravy? I mean come on! But we gotta address the pizza in the room. This thing is thin crust, cheesy, umami, spicy, and all the ee's to describe something delicious. You GOTTA get some hot honey and ranch to enjoy it with, because you KNOW it's gonna improve your experience. Sometimes the reddit hivemind really does know what's up! Of course, y'all, if you're looking for a place to have a night out next, why not head over to Brewery X?

First have to say the staff here is the best we frequent here so this review doesn't reflect the…read morestaff in any way they are truly the best and work really hard. The review is about the new changes to menu, def not a fan of the new items, bring back some of the classics, it def feels the menu is trying too hard and being across the street from a baseball park keep it simple and classic. The last few times we have gone they have been out of a lot of our favorite beers, knowing that baseball season is back they should make sure that they have plenty in stock before the weekend starts. Lastly is the time, I totally understand the need for a "hard close" however when you allow people to order at 10:30 and the food takes 10/15 min to arrive that only allows for 15 min or less to eat your food. Also bring back the happy hour!

It's a smaller brewery in terms of size, so there wasn't much indoor seating, but they make up for it with a large outdoor seating area in the parking lot, which was a nice bonus. I can't remember the exact beer I ordered, but it was a light, fruity, crisp beer that I enjoyed. In terms of variety, the brewery seemed to focus more on lighter and hoppier beers. There weren't many IPA options or darker beers available. The smash burgers were delicious. I ordered the original smash burger and it definitely did not disappoint. I feel like a lot of places offer smash burgers nowadays but don't execute them well -- either you can't taste the beef or they overload it with cheese and sauce. Here, everything felt balanced. The beef had a great grilled crispiness to it, and the flavors all came through nicely. The tater tots were also really good, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Parking can be a bit difficult. They share a small lot with other businesses, so it fills up quickly. You'll probably need to find street parking nearby, and there isn't a ton of it available either.
