We were visiting the area and stopped by Left Coast to try some of their beer. We were not disappointed, the beer is excellent and the service was great. I have strange hobby of collecting growlers and they are no longer available in most breweries. I spotted one at Left Coast and they were kind enough to gift it to my collection! read more

Im a beer lover and I was in Cali for a few weeks. The beer was good but I didn't like the atmosphere of the place. They don't offer food so be aware of that. The beer was good and I was able to hang out with my friend and had a good time. However, this place was not the vibe we were looking for.

This is hands down the best brewery in San Clemente. I personally had to go with the build your own flight and have no regerts whatsoever. I went with 1) Chi Chi's 2) OC 3) Trestles 4) Simply Simcoe 5) Una Mas 6) Surf Break. The Una Mas and the OC were the best in my opinion. Melissa was very knowledgeable and helpful with every question about their beer selection. Out of all the California breweries I've visited this one ranks right up there with the best. That's a fact! read more

I really liked the Left Coast tasting room. The best thing is that they have lots of other choices that you cant find in the stores. Don't worry, they also have their beers that they sell in the stores so you can drink that if you aren't wanting to try something new. Each of the 7 beers we tried were delicious. Lots of different variety, everything from a fruit beer to a double IPA. You can get tasters, two different sizes of glasses as well as growlers. The service was good and the tasting room was very welcoming. They have the seats at the bar as well as tables. You can watch a game here since they have two TVs over the bar. They also have logo clothing for sale as well as many of the beers in bottles for take home purchases. read more

The service was just ok. The beer was good. I liked the barrel aged Huntsman. The food was horrible and mediocre at best. What a waste of money and food. The chicken sandwich from what I hear was gross. Another person in my party also had a rare burger. He sent it back and it came back medium rare in some parts and well in others. My burger was rare and I just sent it back and refused anything else. I mean seriously how hard is it to cook a burger. The only good thing about the burger was the bacon it had a sweet and slightly spicy glaze on it. It fried pickles were weird. The frings with brisket was the only thing I tried that seemed semi decent. I might go back to watch a game or have a few beers but their food needs help. I was there tonight (Saturday) and they have pub quiz or think and drink trivia whatever they call it. read more

They have IPAs for days at this place that's forsure. But are they all great? Not so much. They definitely pulled off the triple IPA which is difficult so that was a star. The nuclear chichis was also great another star there. And the voodoo stout was very tasty! Another star there. Other than those the other beers were simply alright. Vibe is quiet and low-key kinda romantic actually with the lighting they had. They also were doing yoga on tuesday night when I went which was a little weird for me. I felt like I couldn't really laugh because my laugh is loud and u didn't want to disrupt them. So if you're a quiet and just want to relax with a beer then this is your place! If you're like me and a little loud with friends then tone it down here haha read more

Galaxy Supernova IPA is a single hop India Pale Ale made 4 times per year. 6.5% ABV, 53.9 IBU. Tasting notes: Golden hue; hoppy aroma; crisp, clean with heavy hop flavor. Food pairing: Sandwiches and burgers. Orange County IPA is an India Pale Ale brewed with fruit. 7.1% ABV, 55.1 IBU. Tasting notes: Golden hue; lighter hoppy flavor with sharp taste. This would be a good starter IPA. Nuclear Chi Chis is a Session IPA. 4.5% ABV, 41 IBU. Tasting notes: Golden hue; hoppy and citrus aroma; smooth, subtle citrus flavor. Food pairing: Salad, grilled chicken, pork, and seafood. Voo Doo American Stout "is a full-bodied, dark brew that is rich and malty with plenty of roasted barley character. This hearty stout is layered with flavors of roasted barley, chocolate, and coffee coming from the highest quality imported malts. Its creamy long lasting head completed the brew, tempting your taste buds to be spellbound." 8.0% ABV, 37.8 IBU. Tasting notes: Dark brown hue; coffee aroma, smooth roasted coffee flavor. Food pairing: Sunday brunch. Hop Juice Triple IPA "uses Premium American2-Row and a touch of light crystal malt to create a solid malt foundation. Five different hop varieties are used in Hop Juice.

Tasting notes: Reddish orange hue; Strong hop aroma; strong hop flavor and hint of citrus flavor on the backend. Food pairing: Steak, thick burger, and lamb.

A light bodied refreshing IPA with aromas of passion fruit, papaya, and mango. Taste is bitter tangerine, grapefruit, and pine. Finishes dry and crisp."

We came here after a hike and shared the space with an engagement party. They got their guests bracelets for beers. We were easily able to find a spot and were served promptly. I tried their Hop Juice (10 oz since it was 10% ABU) and a 5 oz of the Trestles. I have never had their beer, but I had seen Trestles in stores. Both beers were pretty solid. They have several IPAs and stouts. Since I don't love stouts, it was hard to find a beer that stood out otherwise. Their beers are pretty solid with the basic IPA flavor, almost non-distinct, but I can't say I loved any of them. read more

pretty good beer, decent prices, and a large tasting room. beer flights were very reasonably priced (6 beers for $10, excludes barrel aged brews), and they have a few tasty beers like the voo doo american stout and asylum belgium tripel. another plus for me is that they don't allow anyone under 21 in the tasting room -- no exceptions. nothing ruins a nice beer tasting experience like a screaming kid running underfoot, causing a ruckus while the parents do nothing about it. i gotta give them props (and a star) for that. so why only 2 stars? well, it's a weird, weird place. service is unbelievably bad and that just ruins everything. if you aren't a regular, prepare to stand at the bar for several minutes before even being acknowledged. after ordering, be prepared to wait for at least 5-10 minutes more while the servers chat with their regular customers, refill their beers, and hang out for a bit before filling your order. it was so, so annoying. the crowd was older, very white, and possibly the least hipster group of people i've ever seen. the TVs were showing professional bull riding. i could have easy been in the middle in indiana instead of OC. several of the other customers kept people staring at us and giving us the stink eye, like we didn't belong there. hint taken -- i won't be back! read more

Our party of 7 arrived for tastings on a Saturday afternoon. The computer system was down and the cashier was unable to serve anyone drinks unless they were cash only. We waited for approx. 45 minutes for the computer system to come back online, but still no dice. During our 45 minute wait, we trying flagging down the cashier to let him know we would pay cash, thus allowing us to purchase tasters. The cashier looked like a deer in the headlights and didn't even acknowledge us. Let me make this clear again, we are trying to give the casier money to buy beers but he was just washing dishes and cleaning the bar. Fortunately a manager came and assisted us after our 45 minute wait, but this single cashier is totally incompetent. Solid beers but horrible service. read more

Two ladies behind the bar chatting for 30 minutes "omg I don't care what he thinks about me" etc.., We ordered egg rolls from the food truck on the way in, and the egg rolls arrived before anyone talked to us (sitting at the bar). country music was a bit loud. Beers were ok almond cream was unique very strong almond would be good with dessert. Snivler scottish ale was good, also liked the Bowers Project chile lager.

I'm a bit torn about this place. While the beers here are pretty dang good such as the Almond blond, voodoo stout, and Raspberry wheat, the situation we ran into while checking this place out was a buzz kill. It just so happens that while we were visiting, the computer systems decided to crash. Not too hard to workaround this common problem right? Nope. The young male bartender here had absolutely no idea what to do. You would think one would start a "cash" only purchase or start a written tab so that when the computers finally come back online, you'd be able to pay by card (the lost art of a pen and paper). Reasoning was out of the question and he simply ignored us for the next 45 minutes while we stood in line, all the while serving patrons sitting at the bar. Can you imagine how irate we got after noticing the "selected" service? The manager was able to sort things out after he arrived, but the experience was already soured like a sweaty armpit. Great beers, horrible experience. The beer alone is worthy of 4 stars.... too bad. read more

You can definitely tell this is spot for locals. It makes sense as it's the only legit brewery for folks this far south without having to go to SD or going all the way north to Karl Strauss or Noble Ale Works or Valiant. This is truly a brewery, which means there are no cheese sticks, pizzas, salads, or other pub like food. There are bags of chips, pretzels, and there might be some sort of food vendor set up outside. Other than that, you come here for beer and good times. You hear me? Beer and good times! The beers range from light and drinkable to heavy and hoppy. They're most known for their Trestles IPA, which is a little too hoppy for me, but is a cult favorite among die hard IPA'ers. Personally, the Brown I Girl is something special. A nice Brown with a little somethin special, but not much that you wonder if you're drinking an IPA. Nicely done. Anyway, I'll definitely be checking this place out again. I like to make sure good breweries stay around. Mostly for my consumption. read more

First, the beers are legit. We got a flight and were torn on which beers to order and what growler to get to go. The older woman and man were incredibly welcoming and warm to us and our kids. I am only giving this three stars, however, because of the younger man (comparatively) with long hair who chastised us for following our toddler and told us to keep him on the other side of the establishment. I could see if they were busy and we were impeding their ability to serve, but there were only three other people in the whole place. Great beers and if it wouldn't have been for the guy who was unnecessarily rude, it would have been 5 stars. read more

Moving on from there I had one of my favorite lager types, a Mexican Lager. The name of this one was De La Playa. Flavor features with this beer are malty, perhaps a bit biscuity. Very crushable and light bodied which makes this a beer one that's easy to have more than one of. A very pleasant return to Rōm and may more return trips be in the future!

The brewery was "attached" to the pizza spot next door by a small opening which allows them to pass the food through. I def will be trying the pizza next time we are there. There was plenty of seating and a small patio in back for the pups. The beer and seltzers were very flavorful. Overall a great spot to go hang for a beer and chill.

We sat at a table near the street and it was perfect for people watching and chilling. I think the other people here had the same idea: a relaxing, low key place to be while enjoying well-brewed beer. The gentleman behind the bar who poured the beer was friendly and pleasant. Just a super nice place to hangout and have a great beer. Definitely a place I would return to.

Beer in the making.

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!
