    We have been here probably 4 times in the last year. The bartenders and beer are always 10/10. Paige is always so welcoming and fun!

    Had our wedding Welcome party here and it was amazing! We brought in our own taco vendor and had the place for 70ish guests for 3 hours. Our friends and family loved the beer and seltzers and had an amazing time. Chad was behind the bar and made it so awesome for everyone. 10/10 reccomend!

    Dogs are also welcome. Just have them leashed and advocate for your dog!

    I've been coming here for years and it is my favorite brewery. They have events on some days like trivia and open mic night. Beer on tap is always consistent and staff is friendly. I like the mellow atmosphere and occasionally they have food trucks. Only downside is no kitchen, but the beer makes up for it and you can always grab a pizza and enjoy it with your beer! Keep up the good work Left Coast!

    A great cozy brewery! The beer was delicious, we had a flight and the hazy IPA and enjoyed both! The bartender was great and helped us select a variety of beers. Will definitely be back.

    Left Coast Brewing Co is no newbie to the scene. They have been around since 2004 and have won many awards since. This tasting room location is a bit off the beaten path but it's worth stopping by. The atmosphere was interesting. It almost felt like a dive bar because it was dark and filled with lots of heavy wood furniture. I did like that they have local artists' work for sale on the walls! A flight comes with 6 beers of your choice. You have plenty of variety to choose from. The Hop Juice Triple IPA is one of their full time options and I assume one of their most popular. It was my favorite from the flight. If you're making the brewery rounds in the San Clemente area, this needs to be on your list.

    Came here for the first time and enjoyed their beer. The tasting room was kind of stuffy so we opted to sit outside in the shade. We ordered the 949 Hef and enjoyed it. A food truck was supposed to be on site but it never showed up while we were there.

    Had such a great time. The staff were super helpful and friendly I wish I could remember there names. Turns out they have trivia nights on Saturday's and turns out I still suck at trivia. They were open indoors but with social distancing. I suggest doing flight tasting be star you get to try new beers and it's worth trying all there beers. Very good selections. This location is not by the beach like it may seem in some of the pics, it's on a warehouse kind of area. No issue with parking.

    West coast specializes in American or West Coast IPAs. Beers were good pricing and they have tasters. The place is big, bar seating and a couch with a screen to watch some sports! The beers were a little too bitter for me, which overwhelmed my taste buds and I couldn't taste any other flavors in there. I just prefer more of a NE style profile- like mellow hops. But from what was on tap- most of our group thought it was okay. We did get a bottle (forgot what it was) and it was pretty good! Better than what was on tap. Come here if you love the West Coast style!

    Love the variety of beer here~ also very spacious as well. This place is unique since they have the warehouse next door to the actual brewery. Decor is hipster, indoor style with bar and table seating, love how it's very spacious. They have around 16 beers on tap, with seasonal choices. Mostly IPAs but they have ales, stouts, and pale ales. I got the 16 Oz galaxy hop IPA, which was super refreshing. A good beginner IPA beer with a crisp and not too bitter hoppy taste. Price is around $5-$6, super affordable. They also do 5 Oz, 6 glass flights for $12, which allows substitution for seasonal beers for extra. Staff is very attentive and friendly, responded quickly when we asked what was fresh on tap. Will def be back for those days I crave an after work beer!

    Each experience has been great! Food trucks are there often, repeat the same ones often but that's ok... shuffle board is always a plus.

Neither of us had been before, but it was conveniently located and looked nice--clean, open, airy, and not too crowded on a Thursday around noon. We sat at the bar, but didn't actually end up trying any of the beers (although I thought about it). We opted for Diet Cokes instead--maybe next time. I had the veggie sandwich with fries, and my friend had the cheeseburger and fried cheese curds. All were really delicious, the fries being especially good. We agreed that the cheese curds might've been too much for us. I don't know what we were thinking, ordering DEEP FRIED CHEESE--maybe that we were still teenagers?! They didn't have a ton of vegetarian or vegan options, but I really enjoyed my sandwich. Our server was genial and efficient, and we had a lovely time. Would like to try again, with some beers next time.

    The Lost Inferno is a tiki bar in San Clemente that is themed around the classic 1980s movie "The…read moreGoonies". It is a drinks-only bar for now, so eat before coming. Their website teases that food is coming soon. It is a fairly small place and I would definitely recommend making a reservation on Yelp. If there are no reservations available when you want to visit, they also have a Yelp live waitlist. The building has its own parking lot with about ten spaces and is shared with the sushi speakeasy upstairs. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Sunday night, and luckily there were still quite a few spaces available. A half hour later, the place was packed. The outside of the building is not marked. Enter through the red double doors in front, walk to the right, and the entrance will be easy to spot. Seating options include eight seats at the bar, four high-top tables in the main area that seat four people each, and a slightly raised grotto area with one four-seat table and two two-seat tables. We often like to sit at the bar, but I reserved a table in the grotto so we could get the full experience and I'm glad I did. The interior has great décor with a mix of tiki and pirate ship elements. The walls are wooden plank, with cargo netting, ropes, and tiki lights above. The walls have portraits of Goonies movie characters. Take two steps up to the grotto area, and you are inside of a cave with skulls, shells, and treasures embedded in the cave walls. There is also a small waterfall in the corner. Scan the QR code on the table for the cocktail menu. It is colorful and many of the drinks have names tied to The Goonies. Each drink also has zero, one, or two skulls next to it to indicate the booziness factor. They have quite a few original cocktails as well as classic tiki drinks, a few mocktails, spirits, beer, and wine. I started out with the Ash Landing (Hamilton Pot Still Blonde Rum, Hamilton 86 Demerara Rum, Hamilton Pimento Dram, Angostura Bitters, Pineapple, Lime, Ginger, One Skull booziness, $14). This was definitely a little on the boozy side, with good ginger flavor and the pineapple and lime in the background. She started out with the One-Eyed Willy (Pou Vodka, Lychee, Guava, Coconut, Sweet & Sour, $15, keep the mug for $65). It is rare that a vodka drink is my favorite of the night, but this was both of our favorites. It was very balanced and juicy, and not boozy at all. The guava, coconut, and citrus from the sweet and sour were all there. We bought the mug, and they bring you a new one in original packaging. The purchased mug is colored a little differently (blue instead of black) than the mug the drink is served it, but it still looks great. While walking around taking pictures, I ran into our server and mentioned that it was my girlfriend's birthday. He kindly brought us some shots on the house. He said it was a recipe they had for shots during Halloween, and it tasted like a spin on a kamikaze. It was very good and much appreciated. I have a hard time resisting a cool mug, so for my second drink I ordered the Slick Shoes (Planteray Pineapple Rum, Worthy Park Rum, Bounty Dark Rum, Strawberry, Papaya, Lime Juice, $17). It is served in a cool sneaker mug with a flaming lime half on top. It was nicely balanced and just a tiny bit boozy. It had a nice light fruit flavor, not overly sweet at all. I think it is sometimes served in a regular glass, so if you order it, be sure to ask for the sneaker mug. Her second cocktail was the Never Say Die (Producer Mezcal, Kiwi, Lemon, Mango, Grilled Pineapple, $14). The smokiness of the mezcal was on the hairy edge of being too smoky for me, but she loved it. She could taste the kiwi and mango. We shared one last drink, the Garden of Eden (Papa's Pilar Blonde Rum, Lavender, Lemon, Elderflower, Cucumber Bitters, One Skull booziness, $17). It had an interesting (good) floral flavor profile, and didn't strike me as boozy at all. I could definitely taste the cucumber notes from the bitters. There was good 80s music playing in the background. It's a Goonies themed bar, I get it, but we would have enjoyed a few tiki songs in the mix too. There is one unisex restroom out in the lobby area. It is nice that they also themed it with wooden plank on the walls and ceiling, and some nautical décor. Daniel was our server and was very friendly and provided great service. Thanks again Daniel for the birthday shots! Bartender Felipe also delivered one round of our drinks and was also very friendly. All of the drinks were good and there are definitely more on the menu that we would like to return and try. We had a real fun time, thanks Lost Inferno!
