A very nice place to sit down and unwind. This place is near Angel Stadium and The Honda Center. I came here before the Nine Inch Nails show at The Honda. It was a great place to grab a michelada and a beer. The have a lot of sitting indoors and outside. There was a food truck outside serving food in case you are hungry. The whole place is filled with retro arcade games, interactive games you can enjoy with your friends and they hold many special events here... like wrestling matches outside. They only serve beer, so if you are coming here expecting a mixed drink, better check your luck elsewhere. The server was friendly abd attentive. She gave me a rundown on the list of events going on there. They take cash or card. I will definitely be coming back here when i am in town for a show.

I don't have a photo of our beers, but had a blast attending the October Village market at GameCraft! What a rad spot - so many activities and lots of space! Can't wait to go back and play games while sipping a cold one. Great service!

Love going to the one in Laguna Hills so excited one closer to home opened up! What worried me about coming here was parking, especially in an industrial plaza parking could be hard to find, but we came on a Friday night and there was lots of parking and it looks like all the businesses nearby were closed already. Inside is much smaller than the Laguna location, there's a few tables and bar seating. They have a large outdoor area with corn hole, giant jenga and plastic axe throwing. They also have board games inside for customers to play. Great tasting beers! And the workers were really cool! Sad that they were out of the mango power up! I also really liked that they had a TV and a projector to watch sports! My only knock on this place is that they don't have an in house kitchen like in Laguna. They have a food vendor that comes, and that night it was Mediterranean, so choices are very limited. Also they have a separate area in front of the brewery with a couple of Arcade cabinet machines as well as pinball (But it's pay to play with quarters). Also they had a large TV in that area, it looked like that area is being set up for people to play console games, but nothing was set up. I am rooting for this place to be successful and finish their set up, because it's got great potential!

Chill brewery with a variety of board games, a few arcade machines, and a shuffleboard table. The beers were decent, I liked the Mexican Dark Lager. Mostly all light beer options. Next time I'll try their food truck!

Pretty big space that has cool decoration, lots of games, and screens to watch games. It would be a cool place to hang out except I just could not stand the smell coming from the brewing. We eventually sat outside but it felt like my whole body stank for the rest of the day. Hopefully it's not all the time but man it really keeps me from wanting to go back. The beers were ok. They didn't blow me away but I liked that they had a good variety. They had some good snacks, lots of fried stuff to go with the beer. There's plenty of parking so that was nice.

Came in for the Thursday comedy night and hubby and I had a great time! Such a cool, chill spot. Brian was serving up the taps and he was such a great time and did such a good job at making sure everyone was taken care of. Loved that they had all the games for patrons and a food truck is always a major plus. Will definitely be back! They have lots of events going on, I want to come back for trivia or lotería!

Satine and the entire crew was very kind and we need her enthusiasm for this new location. So happy us nerds have a place to come hang again.

If you like videogames and beer, this is the place to be. I come here for wrestling shows that they host monthly (or more frequently) and it never disappoints. They have a food truck during those shows that isnt great but is solid food. I love the memorabilia, ESPECIALLY the Overwatch stuff. Outdoor seating is nice, weather permitting and they have other game stuff too.

Gamecraft Brewing truly has my heart, and I was excited to see that a second location opened up! Super thrilled that this location is open later, and it still has its charm. Pros: -Open later -Great drinks (& has non alcoholic drinks too) -Fun game selection -Service is great; staff is super knowledgeable -Rotating food trucks Cons: -Feels more industrial and "cold" compared to the original location -No in house kitchen -60/40 outdoor to indoor seating, only a con during cold months

Rita red and mas effect

Loved the gaming theme of this brewery! I first tried one of their beers on tap at a beer bar nearby (The Iron Press at Anaheim Packing District) and decided to check out the actual brewery. It is tucked away in an industrial area, not too much traffic coming in or out with plenty street parking. Although it's on the smaller side compared to other breweries, inside is the typical warehouse/industrial feel, with your large steel vats where the brewing takes place. There's an outdoor area with seating and some games like mega Jenga blocks and corn hole. When we were there, there was a food tented vendor selling Ethiopian food. AS for their beers, my definite favorite was the doom juice double hazy IPA. It's so juicy and drinkable for a double hazy! It was so great that we took a 4-canned case home. For non IPA, the Rita red and nectarine power up were also great. Also, they have a rewards punch card with missions to achieve which I thought was a fun idea for those who like to chase some goals. I believe it's fodrink for 100% achievement

A baby's first birthday at a brewery might sound unconventional, but honestly, it was PERFECT! We worked with Kirsten Aparicio, the Pub Manager, who was wonderful from start to finish. We originally planned to have our group of 35 outside near the kids' area, but when the forecast showed temperatures around 100 degrees, I reached out just a few days beforehand to see if we could move inside. Kirsten didn't hesitate and made it happen! When I arrived, our area was already roped off and ready for us, even though the brewery was packed with sports fans. She also thoughtfully set up a lower table for the kids to play and do activities. It was such a nice touch and made the space perfect for our group. Our dedicated server, Chris, was OUTSTANDING. Multiple guests commented on how wonderful and attentive he was. He stayed on top of everything, paid attention to every detail, and truly helped make the party run smoothly. Thank you, Chris! The food was delicious, the portions were huge, the catering menu had plenty of options, and the drinks were great. I would absolutely recommend Golden Road for a birthday party or special event. I'm so glad we chose it for our baby girl's first birthday. Kirsten and Chris truly helped make the day special!

Every beer I've tried there has been really good, and now I can say the food delivered too--the BBQ chicken pizza was bomb, and the pepperoni was excellent as well. The one major downside is parking. If you go later on a weekday or especially on a busy weekend, good luck. The lot fills up and there really aren't many alternatives because parking in the surrounding areas can potentially get you ticketed or towed. For a place this large and popular, the parking situation is easily the most frustrating part of visiting. Other than that, great beer, great pizza, tons of room, TVs, events and a really fun atmosphere. Definitely the kind of brewery where you can hang out for a few hours instead of just stopping in for one beer.

One of the beers we got is the Tropical Hideaway, which really reminds me of the pineapple Dole whip at Disneyland. It's a smoothie-style beer with lots of tropical flavor. Tons of tables outside to hang out, and when we went there was a food truck with great smash burgers outside. And the bartenders are super knowledgeable about the beer -- we got some great recs. Lastly, they sell canned beer to take home. I got the She Shot First IPA (which has a very Rosie the Riveter meets Star Wars vibe), and it was phenomenal.

Cherry Coke Seltzer: I think the name of the item explains what it is. Breweries are constantly trying to find new ways to make seltzers interesting. This was reportedly the rising star within Karl Strauss, and I understand why. It tasted very close to Cherry Coke, and the drink went down pretty easily. I'd definitely have it again if I didn't know what to get. Service: I think it's pretty good in general. The place is packed a few hours before the game, so the staff can get stretched, but I don't see enough issues to complain about. Ambiance: It's definitely one of the better ambiances for an indoor brewery. You can kinda tell where the "drink focused" section ends and the restaurant focused section starts. Even though they serve alcohol, I feel that the place is still family friendly.

Let me tell you why I keep coming back here…read more It's not just the beer, although Bootleggers has plenty of that. It's the patio. There's something about the outdoor space here that makes Bootleggers feel like a little beer oasis tucked just far enough away from the hustle of downtown Fullerton. There are plenty of covered tables, lots of shade, and a large, permanently covered section with a giant TV showing sports and other important television events. When they have live music, it's usually the kind that actually improves the atmosphere rather than taking it over, you know, good musicians, good music, but still chill enough that you can have a conversation. And, of course, there's the beer. They have a really solid and diverse selection, with several IPAs, stouts, seltzers, and other options usually available, plus a selection of beers from other local breweries. It's hard to imagine coming here and not finding something you like. If you can't you're just an openly hostile person. Consider meditation. There's a food truck parked along the side that has basically become part of the Bootleggers landscape. And while outside food is no longer allowed, that's not really a hardship because the food is actually pretty damn good. The sandwiches, salads, and other offerings are all solid, but the fried pickles are the real reason I keep coming back. They're cut lengthwise, breaded just right, and fried until they're perfectly crunchy. Basically big, tart, crunchy submarines of fair food fun. I have a difficult time going to Bootleggers without ordering them. Every. Single. It's close enough to downtown Fullerton to walk to, but just far enough off the beaten path that the patio feels removed from the usual bar scene chaos. The street is nearby, but you barely notice it. It's just a nice place to sit outside, drink a good beer, listen to some music, watch a game, and hang out for a while. Sometimes you don't need another crowded bar with loud music and a $16 cocktail. Sometimes you just want a good beer, some shade, and a plate of ridiculously good fried pickles. Bootleggers does that really well.

From the moment we walked in until we left... we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Update 6/30/2026: - Rewards became even less efficient than…read moresince my last visit in 2022. Now when you join their membership, gotta visit 8 times to redeem the nice offer. Used to be that you get a nice gift right upon joining. - Parking at Anaheim Gardenwalk is $4/hr, 1st hr's free. This restaurant's validation only grants you one extra hr. After validation, I still had to pay $8, which is a lil expensive considering the numerous amount of open parking spots there were, but I guess that's downtown for ya. - And the parking validation still needs something like a stamp. Some tangible indicator that our parking slip has been validated. - The cook didn't do any spatula tricks. + More seafood variety now. - Staff attentiveness is okay. I noticed whenever the waitress(es) stopped by to check up on us, 90% of the time she only looks at my guest, kinda like she just cares about her wellbeing, not his. We had: $54 2-dinner (all day) + $4 coke + tax = $63 Prev review: 6/19/2022 tl,dr: Fantastic specialized AYCE! Better than regular buffets cuz of the variety of sauces and a focused cooking style. The parking business is a downside though. Tips: . As you're grabbing food, use the tongs to press the food down in your bowl. You'll find you can add more per trip, since the bowl is small. . Get less carbs (noodles or pasta) so you can save stomach space and make the most of your money on meats and veggies. Likes: + This place honors the reservation system. Within a few min of us walking in, they were able to quickly seat us, even during a crowded Father's Day lunch hour. Though their website does not allow reserving for 3 ppl, thankfully they let me reserve over the phone. + Variety of food and sauces! + They keep a box of gloves at the front of the self-serve bar. + The grill chefs are very adept and attentive, and pretty nice. + The chefs put on quite a show when they cook. If you're lucky, you'll even catch them flipping their spatulas. + The cook was willing to cook the two fried eggs I asked for. + The lunchtime desserts include blackberries and yogurt. Yum! Non-likes: - Redeeming a discount here used to be efficient, but now it takes at least a few days to enable one. Try signing up for a discount via their website and you'll know what I mean. - Their website should allow reserving for 3 ppl. - Lacking in seafood variety though. - Chefs don't wear masks. - As you wait for your food to get cooked, you're standing shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of strangers. - They should post a few more informative signs. One could say what ingredients we can ask for at the grill that aren't available at the self-serve counter, such as eggs. Another sign could say what time they're putting away the lunch hour foods and what time they're bringing out the dinner hour foods. - They remove the fruits and yogurt around 3pm. But I heard they have soup instead for dinner hour. - I asked the waiter to validate my parking. When he returned the ticket to me, he said I'm all set. But when I went to pay my parking, I had to pay $6. It's $3/hr, and we parked 3 hr. Since the first hr is already free, shouldn't I only have to pay $3? I've been hoodwinked.
