    This is located next to the potato corner and has the side corner of Haven City in the IE. The open space is perfect especially to watch the dodger beat the Yankees 2024! Can't wait for them to sweep. Anyways the staff is super friendly and gives great cocktail and beer suggestions ! Definitely come and celebrate sports game and try all the local beer selections and selective high quality drinks!

    In this photo you can see part of the bar and menu they got.

    I've been told native son has the best palomas around so I decided to see for my self and they're on point. I've been there twice and drinks are always good, however, service not much. Theres this guy that took my orders and both times he was like i didnt derve his service. I didnt know sizes, i asked and he pointed at them on a rude way not even speaking to me. Service is key so I left with no tip. Spot is very neat, so many options. Definitely will go back when I don't see that guy at the register.

    Located inside haven city market. From the main entrance head straight back and turn right. It'll be on the far right wall, next to potato corner. Second visit here, service was great. They have a good selection of brews. Menus posted on large digital screens. They also have a screen to watch the game. Registers have tap to pay easy and convenient. Tables and bar area are for patrons only. Don't mind if we do! We were able to enjoy our lunch while trying out a stout. On a busy day there aren't many tables available in the restaurant row communal seating. So it was nice to have a private table inside. Plenty of free parking available. There's also a large patio area or banquet area both first come first serve. Check out the calendar of events to catch some live bands.

    Blonde
    Linh Y.

    First off, I do not drink alcohol normally. Though I have tried it many many blue moons ago in my early twenties. Nowadays, it's not even on my drink list. Anyway, I was at a recent Yelp event in Haven City Market where Native Son offered a sampling of one of their beers called Blonde. For some reason, my intuition said go for it... you only live once... why not now LOL! I was hesitant because I had to drive home and I wouldn't want to be under the influence. Despite of it all, I went for it and I was amazed that the Blonde was so very light in taste... it was almost as though I was drinking a sparkling beer. It was very refreshing indeed. I had to come back and get another Blonde. I was hooked LOL. I better not get too used to it if you know what I mean LOL. A big cup for $8.00 is not bad at all. For some reason, this time around... my Blonde was a bit heavier in taste. I can taste the slight bitterness in the beer compared to last time. I was still okay to drive though. Will I get the Blonde for a 3rd time? I don't know... maybe once in a while, but not all the time. Gotta watch my belly fat LOL. The lady who poured me the Blonde was very sweet. Great staff and service all around. This bar is located in the perfect spot right in the back corner. It has a very relaxing and laid back ambiance. Nice place to wind down and have some drinks with friends after work. Happy Hour Time!

    High end beer in plastic cups; that is disappointing.
    Erwin M.

    Pretty simple here. Good beer selections from IPAs, reds, stouts, and nitro pours. The price is a little high but when you want a high end beer, you're pretty much at their mercy. The big drawback for me is being served the beer in a plastic cup like I'm at a baseball game. If you're gonna charge high end price for a beer, have the decency to provide the beverage in glass. The tabletop seating is small; not good for groups with lots of food. The barstools are uncomfortable but serve their purpose. Servers behind the bar are quick with their pours in a professional manners. Lots of TVs to view any sporting event you want. Overall, good beer, good service, average seating, high prices, bad presentation, and good TVs.

    ADULT SMOOTHIES! That's what we call them. Sunday fun day with any margarita is perfect. Service is quick and seating is limited.

    The tap list!!

    We love native son! We try to go at least twice a month and try new beers. The list of beers on tap is always so good. Small and larger breweries featured! The bartenders always usually recommended something too, and help to decide from the 20 something beers on tap they have. The vibe inside is awesome because it's in Haven City Market kinda tucked away in the far corner but we live the ambiance for a small quaint little place. I gave 4 stars though because some bartenders are more friendly than others, for instance the bartenders last night (Tuesday night) were super awesome and gave great recommendations!!! Try to at least go to Haven City Market but really go here for Native son! They also have happy hour specials and certain days of the week they have specials too!

    Did I just find my new favorite bar? Yup! Saturday night and I don't want to get dressed up but I want a good drink and yummy food. Found it! First time here, ordered my favorite drink Penicillin and they know how to make it!!!! Yay! Soooo good. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned and he was impressed. He also ordered The Mexican Firing Squad which is great if you love Tequila. They have a Holiday Market today so I'm gonna do some shopping and eat some yummy food here at Haven City. P.S. Bartender is great! They have locations in Santa Ana and L.A.

    I finally made it to their week day Happy Hour, Monday-Friday, 3-6pm on a Thursday late afternoon with some of my Inland Empire buddies. I first learned about 'Native Son,' from attending a former Zoom Yelp Event that Yelp hosted during the beginning part of the Pandemic years. Native Son offer Cocktail drinks at $8 per drink during Happy Hour. The plastic cup came in a pretty good size. When the ice cubes started melting, the drink tasted more like lime juice so wasn't as strong as the beginning several sips of this Margarita I ordered. My friends don't normally know me as a drinker, but I do drink, Only socially as such!!!! Yummmm, especially with a nice crowd of friends. The cashier, per my receipt shown, Jeffrey I came across was friendly and so was the bartender. I didn't catch just the bartender's name though. She was chatty enough answering my questions about their Happy Hour offerings just to double check! My purchase today also came with some beer brand stickers and a drink holder. They don't serve food during Happy Hours (I also double checked with the cashier upon ordering), but the Margarita I ordered was delish!!!! Ok, it's Now time to water down the Margarita!

Instead of helping the next of us in line, the woman and man behind the bar just talked to each other and I had to walk up to the bar and interrupt to ask for help. The man had to ask me multiple times what my order was because he kept looking to the side and paying attention to other situations. When I paid, I tipped even though I shouldn't have, and thanked him, he didn't even look at me. I thanked him again and he looked up and walked away without acknowledging me. They were not friendly, they were not happy to be there and the customer service was really lacking. It was a disappointment because we really were excited to try this brewery and the beer was good!

When he arrived to pick it up, he waited 40 minutes before being told anything. After checking with the concierge, the manager (Tiffany) came out and informed him that they had forgotten to make the order entirely. Another 15-20 minutes passed before he finally received the food. All told, he spent close to an hour waiting for a pickup order that should have taken a fraction of that time. What made this worse was the lack of customer service afterward. The manager did not come back out to apologize, did not offer any kind of discount or compensation, and did not acknowledge the inconvenience at all. Mistakes happen -- forgetting an order is one thing -- but how you handle it matters. In this case, there was no effort made to make things right. For a paying customer who placed a pickup order in advance, this level of service was unacceptable. Good customer service isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how you handle them. Unfortunately, in this case, Heroes showed very little regard for a paying customer's time. I hope management sees this and takes a hard look at how customers are treated when things go wrong.

Tons of parking and at 1pm on Sunday, a good amount of seating. We ordered the regular size nachos, with beef, Philly cheesesteak sandwich, a watermelon vodka lemonade and a Bloody Mary.

    I've now been here twice to bowl, and unfortunately both experiences were frustrating enough that I…read morewon't be bowling here again. Both visits had the same issue: the group next to us had no sense of bowling etiquette, and it was never addressed by staff. Their parties were oversized and ended up spilling into our space sitting in our seats, placing drinks on our table, and generally taking over the shared area. On top of that, their kids repeatedly came over to our lane, touching our tablet and interfering with our game. It made it really hard to enjoy what we paid for. What made it worse is that both times, the groups next to us were visibly drunk. That kind of environment might be expected at a bar, but when it starts impacting other guests' experience especially families it becomes a problem. There didn't seem to be any staff intervention to manage the situation or maintain a respectful atmosphere. Another frustrating point was the check-in process. I brought my own Brunswick bowling shoes, but I was still told I had to rent a pair anyway. The employee even said I could "just do whatever with them," which honestly makes no sense and feels like an unnecessary charge. Policies like that don't feel customer-friendly. To be fair, Big Al's is a fun place overall. The arcade games and general hangout vibe are great, and I'd still come back for that. But the bowling experience itself just isn't worth it based on what I've experienced. There's definitely room for improvement staff should be more proactive about enforcing basic bowling etiquette, making sure groups stay within their assigned seating areas and respect neighboring lanes. Better monitoring, especially when alcohol is involved, could help prevent disruptive behavior. Clear limits on group sizes per lane, ensuring kids stay within their own lane, and revisiting the shoe rental policy for guests who bring their own equipment would all go a long way in improving the experience. There's definitely potential here, but the bowling side needs better structure and oversight.

Eureka has a great vibe from the moment you walk in- dark and classy. If you're going on a cold night, just be aware that half the restaurant is open from the outside and it can get a little cold in the restaurant. They have a very large bar and if you enjoy liquor and beer, you'll have a great experience, sitting down at the bar and watching the game on a number of the TV screens that they have. By far, the highlight was having the jalapeño bacon burger. I don't know what they put in that thing but it's a burger that is sweet and juicy. The moment my wife and I bit into it the first words out of our mouth were the same-- "wow!" That's all I can say. The chicken sandwich was decent, but not as good as the burger we tried. The other item we tried because it had great reviews where the brussels sprouts. And although the portion was a little smaller than I would've hoped, that too, was just full of flavor and really enjoyable to eat. I tried their red beer which comes from Redlands and that was also really nice and full and rich. Overall, a really good experience. Two entrées, an appetizer and a beer came out to $65. I don't know when things became so expensive, but the next time I want to splurge on a date night with my wife again, I would definitely come back :)
