It's a bit dark in here but that's okay for the vibe it's going for. Definitely not a first date kind of place. They have pool table in the back and beer is cold.

The place is smaller than i thought and there only one restroom per gender. The service was great and the staff was really nice. They also have happy later in the night which awesome. The only thing was that table were messy and there are no trash cans. The tables were littered with bottles, glasses, and pizza boxes. We had to move aside pizza boxes and bottles to get a table. The staff didn't bother coming by to clear up the table at any point through the night which was really weird. The parking lot is pretty big but then again at night only the bar and liquor store are open in that shopping center.

The food was ready right on time - about 15 minutes, just as promised. We ordered the Sausage Breakfast Burrito and the Steak Fajita Plate, which came out to $34 after tax. The portions were generous and reasonably priced. The burrito was flavorful and well-stuffed, though I would've preferred crispy hash browns or smaller potato pieces instead of the larger chunks. The steak on the fajita plate was nicely thin-sliced, but unfortunately a bit dry. Both entrées came with two sauces of choice. The green sauce had a slightly tangy kick and stood out as the more flavorful of the two. The cafe is located in a more industrial area of town and seems like it may cater largely to nearby businesses.

My go to meal here is specifically something light and good. Don't want anything too heavy, especially dancing on the dance floor, lol! The Irish Country Salad I posted in the pic has apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts, croutons, frisee, radicchio, drizzled with honey vinaigrette. I highly recommend this salad when coming here! Our server, Devin was pretty good despite the place was packed and he had alot of tables to wait on. My food came out pretty quick and he did check up on our table from time to time which is awesome. Never had an issue here service wise. Wednesday nights are always a fun night here with food, singing, and dancing!

Macallan's has the look of an Irish pub; dark wood, Celtic décor, the whole atmosphere is there…read more But if you're going to lean into Irish identity, the details matter, especially with Guinness. I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.

Meñu was not overwhelming or random, this place has great sazón and staff is helpful with suggestions, tidy, and prompt. Also, we ordered the Earl Grey latte and it's so divine!

As someone who has ordered and eaten at the Sacramento Fire Wings more times than any other restaurant, I gotta say this Brea location might even be doing it better than Sacramento.

Fire Wings are kind of big so I always order well done to get that nice crunch and juicy inside with no "undercooked" concerns. Dragon wings, buffalo and peanut butter if you got an open mind.
