Bought a fund raising coupon card for Lamppost and wanted to use it. This place is massive! We went on a Saturday for lunch and there were not a lot of people. But I can imagine this place being packed after school sports games and other similar event. One side is the regular dining area while the other side has what seems to be a brewery and bar. Saw that their menu has wine by the glasses too, which are well priced! They also have a small arcade area. We ordered one topping med pizza and added additional topping - pepperoni and sausage toppings. We also ordered a side of meatballs and cheese. Our food came quickly and they were good! You queue up to order and pay but they deliver your food to your table. Place is really clean, service good, nice staff.

Meatballs & cheese

This place is spacious! Good for team pizza dining or school get togethers. Clean and orderly when i went. Had pizza lunch and it was delish. The medium is good sized for 2-3 people. Had pepperoni and sausage pizza, and meatballs and cheese appetizers. I was surprised and satisfied at the quality of pizza in general and it was tasty too! The service was on par with my expectations and have no complaints at all. Overall, yes. Try this place.

Service was good. Pizza tasted amazing. So did the garlic cheesy bread dipped in their meat marina sauce! It was a busy Thursday night with lots of people and the laker game playing. Real cool spot to come check out a game and have some pizza that is made with fresh veggies and great tasting toppings.

This new bar and pizza spot has a really fun setup and atmosphere. It's split into two sides -- one that's more casual and family-friendly, and the other that's a full-on sports bar with a patio, lots of TVs, and plenty of seating. We even ended up sharing a table with another group who were super friendly, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and community-driven. The crowd was energetic and clearly excited about the new location. They have a decent variety of beers and other beverages, but the cocktails are all canned and made with a wine-based liqueur instead of real spirits, which was a little disappointing. Hopefully, they'll get a liquor license soon because that would really take things up a notch. The beer selection itself was okay, but I'd love to see them expand it with more local or craft options. Service-wise, it was fine, but we did ask three different people for waters and never got them, which was kind of frustrating. For food, we ordered french fries, an Italian sub, and a chicken garlic pizza to go. The fries were honestly the best part -- hot, crispy, and flavorful. The sandwich was decent with plenty of protein, but it lacked seasoning and sauce. The pizza, unfortunately, missed the mark. The garlic sauce had no flavor, the chicken tasted pre-cooked and came in thick slices, and the veggies were cut into huge chunks that overpowered everything. I actually ended up taking it home and doctoring it a bit to make it taste better. I was expecting shredded or fresh chicken chunks - I'm not sure where they source theirs. Overall, the vibe here is great -- fun, lively, and definitely a good hangout spot, especially when there's a game on. The service and food still need some work, but it's a brand-new place, so there's room to grow. I think with a little fine-tuning, better drink options, and some flavor upgrades in the kitchen, this could become a solid go-to in the area.

This place is such a gem. The pizza is amazing and I especially loved the Linebacker. It's loaded with toppings and the crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and actually care about what they're serving. The combo appetizer plate was also so good and perfect for sharing. Everything came out hot and full of flavor. Since it's a brewery too, the beer is on another level. So fresh, cold, and it pairs perfectly with the food. The owners are seriously the nicest people and make you feel so welcome the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer just to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for pizza, beer, and good company.

Great spot for an extra cold Coors Light!
TJ Q.

Just a great spot to finally open here in lake Forest. Good pizza great appetizers and an awesome vibe inside. Came here on day 2 and I'm excited to see where this place goes. The brewery part is in the works but I can tell the owner is trying to do something fun here. Come on by grab a pint and a slice of pizza. Can you replicate the cool neon photo?

Fully loaded pizza

Kentucky derby yesterday The realtor marketing meeting Laguna Hills Our amazing leader Lyn and Mr Botchbach sponsor Absolutely great pizza And great ipa Super nice place open and inbiting Pretty packed with people and kids Highly Recomended

Pepperoni and jalapeno pizza

We ordered a pepperoni pizza, potato skins, and jalapeno poppers. All were great, would recommend. The best part was the service. We ordered through GrubHub and our driver did not deliver the potato skins and jalapeno poppers. We contacted the driver and she blamed it on the restaurant but the restaurant let us know that she had missed those items. The manager himself delivered the items to us!!! We even tried to tip him but he refused to take it. Please support this business!

Great neighborhood pizza place. Great for drink with friends at the bar side, or with the kids or ball club at the family side. Very clean and in great area.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh, flavorful pizza, friendly, attentive service, and lively, welcoming atmosphere. The wide beer selection and clean, remodeled space are also appreciated.

Overrated and overpriced! The pizza that they serve has little to no flavor unless you shake a whole bunch of Parmesan cheese on it.

Our bartender and bro for the night, Ted not only was informative but friendly and downright hilarious. This guy is really really cool. This spot is not a place to miss and I will definitely be back and back again. Also the Monday deal is pretty crazy

GameCraft Brewing provides a fun place for game enthusiasts to gather. There was a variety of drink…read moreoptions to choose from - beers, wines, soda, water. There was also bottled drinks like tea in a glass container behind the bar area. The food was decent pub food. There was plenty of parking. I liked that they had board games and pinball machines available. I had an enjoyable time here. The downsides were that the place was a bit small and hot during the summer with only fans running. Drinks: I like drinks on the sweeter side. The bartender was nice and let me try different flavors to pick what I like. * Seltzer - Baja Blast 5/5 - Good sweet drink that didn't feel like I'm drinking alcohol. * Ube Painkilla 3.5/5 - Pretty drink, light purple. A bit sweet, but had a cough syrup aftertaste. * Cider drink 4/5 - Kinda like an apple cider drink, but more beer-y. * Soju Cocktail - Didn't get this. I thought it'd be sweet from the online menu. Apparently it has a ginger and serrano chili pepper taste, so not what I wanted. FOOD: * BBQ Wings 4/5 - Juicy and flavorful wings. * Lemon Pepper Wings 3/5 - Not bad, but kinda dry and really sour. * Cesar Salad 4/5 - Who orders salad for a game night? Jk. It was actually pretty good. Plenty of dressings and shaved cheese on top. * Pretzel Bites 3.5/5 - Dense pretzel bread bites with sea salt on top. * Flatbread 3.5/5 - Flatbread okay. Ours came with shredded pork on top that was kinda dry and had no flavor. * Fried Wonton 2/5 - Crispy wontons filled with cream cheese. The cream cheese was a bit much to eat. * Egg Rolls 2/5 - Crispy vegetable egg rolls. Had a bitter aftertaste.

Quality/Quantity: The food here is sooooooo good. We had a pretzel which was the greatest ever by a mile. It was buttery, salty, and soft. World's greatest pretzel for sure. Also, got the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich which was delicious. We also got a burger that was cooked perfectly and served brioche bun. Lastly, we had the brownie with ice cream which was also amazing. Overall the food was really tasty. The serving sizes here are really good. Value: Pricing seemed very fair to me. Overall: I'm a huge fan of this spot. I plan to come back and try their breakfast which is on Sundays. They have a lot of additional unique and fun activities here (see picture). Very cool ambience here folks. Can't wait to return.

My visit to Laguna Beer Company in Laguna Hills, California, turned out to be one of those brewery…read moreexperiences where the atmosphere, people, and beer all came together to make for a memorable afternoon. Located right along the road with convenient parking and a welcoming outdoor patio, the brewery has a straightforward appearance that is made more interesting by a beautiful ocean-inspired mural along the side of the building. The artwork, with its mysterious face and sailing ship, seems to capture the imagination and adventurous spirit of the sea. Inside, the taproom continues that relaxed Southern California feeling with a simple, uncluttered layout, comfortable seating, and a spacious bar area. There is nothing overly elaborate about the surroundings, but that is part of what makes the place so enjoyable. What really stood out, however, was the hospitality. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted warmly, and the bartender made me feel as though I was a regular rather than someone visiting for the first time. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely interested in discussing the different beers, eventually offering me four additional samples beyond my original flight. It was the kind of personal interaction that can turn a good brewery visit into a great one. Of course, the beer was the main reason for stopping in, and Laguna Beer Company certainly gave me plenty to enjoy. My original flight consisted of Sir Veza, a Mexican-style lager with lemon and lime; Canyon Red, a red lager; Barrel Vision, a hazy IPA; and Lagunatics, another hazy IPA. Each offered something different, but Barrel Vision and Lagunatics were easily my favorites. Both had a slightly sweeter character than many of the hazy IPAs I have tried, and that additional sweetness worked wonderfully with the overall flavor. Canyon Red was not particularly suited to my personal taste, although I could certainly see it appealing to someone who enjoys malt-forward red beers. Thanks to the bartender, I also had the opportunity to sample Russian River Hop Father, Russian River Pliny the Elder, Kiwi Me Softly, and Road to Valhalla, bringing my tasting experience to eight different beers. What I appreciated most was that every selection had something unique to offer, even those that were not necessarily my favorites. Looking back on my visit, Laguna Beer Company reminded me why I enjoy exploring breweries in the first place. It is not always about finding the perfect beer or the most impressive taproom. Sometimes it is simply about discovering a comfortable place, enjoying a few excellent beers, and having a great conversation with someone who genuinely enjoys what they do. Laguna Beer Company delivered all three, and I would gladly return for another visit.
