    Came here a few more times. The crowd and staff are great. Friday and Saturday are the busiest. I do have to say they if you're a non-smoker like me, and you don't want to be around it, don't come Thursday. That's cigar day. It got so Smokey that my nose hurt, and it took effort to wash the scent off me at home. I've just never lived with smokers, so I didn't know how bad it can get. Just keep that in mind.

    Spent my 40th birthday at this venue. This place is a little speakeasy in the rear of an American Legion. They're trying to appeal to the younger crowd and it's a success. My wife booked out the venue on a weekend evening and invited friends and family. Bartender was able to make a Pencillin drink and was very impressed. The decor, lounge area, and bar top were just the right fit for people to drink, chat, and share memories laughing together. Restrooms are clean and convenient. If you want to visit on a weekend, please come have a drink and support the owners purpose for this place. If you want to rent a venue with 20-25 people, please contact them and enjoy the evening. This place was a massive hit and enjoyed every minute of it. Bartenders make incredible drinks and also entertain with his comedy. Seriously, he's a part time comedian!

    If your weekend plans doesn't include OpSek Post 354 then you're missing out! I visited this speakeasy, the first co-located within an American Legion, while I was in SoCal and it didn't disappoint. The bartenders were not only extremely friendly and welcoming, but also made some tasty handcrafted cocktails as well. I really like the mission behind this cocktail lounge - bring younger veterans together for camaraderie and provide help with resources - and that it's open to all individuals (not just veterans). Sounds like this speakeasy has some cool things in the works and I'll definitely be back when I head back home to SoCal in the future. Staff is super friendly and love the cozy vibe of the place - seating is available at a few 2-4 person tables, at the bar, or in a small room with a large table. Be sure to check their IG for hours and to make reservations!

    Service is always great. Love the properly made drinks. Ordered some different drinks and none have been disappointing. Quiet spot where you can just enjoy and conversate.

    Cutest entry to the speakeasy ever !

    Such a cute little hole-in-the-wall spot! Loved the vibes, and the Old Fashioned was amazing--enjoyed every sip. Just wish they were open on weekdays... I'd be there all the time since it's only 4 minutes from my place.

    A true speak easy hidden within the walls of another business. Drinks are off the chain, off the hook, buck wild!! Great service from Bartender. You can bring food here too.

    What an unexpected find. This hidden speakeasy is located inside the American Legion Post Bar. Same owner, but totally different vibes. I won't give up the secret of how to enter the antechamber, but once you do.....you're immediately transported to another time period. This speakeasy is veterans theme. It's one small, dark, intimate room filled with a couple bar stools and tables. There were portraits of important military figures everywhere; adding to the nostalgic feel. On the left, there's an amazing lit bar and friendly bartenders who tend to it. The cocktails they made were tasty and also didn't break the bank. They even were kind enough to let us try some new concoctions they were testing out. This experience was unique. We're definitely be coming back.

    Beautiful build out of speakeasy

    My husband and I drove all the way from Newport Beach to try this place out and it was worth the drive. First of all the bartender is fantastic and knows his stuff. I love that this is housed inside an American Legion, but you don't have to be a member to come to the speakeasy portion. It is beautifully appointed and it has really inventive drinks. I can't wait to come back!

    The ambiance is nice comfy and cozy for a night out and a good drink. The bartender was so very welcoming I will definitely return.

    We've had Chapter 4 on our list for a while. A very positive review from a Yelp friend bumped it to…read morethe top of the list, and we visited recently. It is located in downtown Fullerton, next to the Les Amis Lebanese/Mediterranean restaurant. Look for the entrance on the west side of the building with a red entrance and Chapter 4 projection logo on the sidewalk. You can make a reservation on their website. We walked in and were greeted immediately. Seating options include tall chairs at the bar, low booths along the front wall across from the bar, and various tables in the main lounge area. All of the chairs look very comfortable. We sat in one of the booths across from the bar. It has a great vibe inside with a dark ceiling and walls, and is lit on the dimmer side. There was light lounge/soft jazz music playing when we visited. They also have live jazz music on some nights. A bowl of nuts, water, and menus arrived quickly. They have a great menu of house-curated cocktails, their spins on classic cocktails, and a large list of whiskeys and other spirits. They also have several food items on the menu. They have private liquor lockers available to store personal bottles for members Before I continue, I have to say that JC, one of the owners, who greeted us and was our server all evening, provided outstanding hospitality. While researching their bar menu online, we saw the cloud cocktail which had a very unique presentation with a burning ember cloud-like display. We came for my girlfriend's birthday, and she knew that would be her first drink. Unfortunately when we tried to order it, they were out of the gas for it. We noticed that the physical menu was a little different than the online menu. Apparently they had just changed the menu and had not updated the website yet. She wanted the Dirty Dill which wasn't on the new cocktail menu, but they were still able to make it. Dirty Dill (Gin, Vodka, Lemon, Pickle Juice, Olive Juice, Milk Washed & Clarified, $19). We could smell pickle on the nose, but when we took a sip, it was very boozy with little pickle or olive flavor. We asked if they could add some more pickle juice, and JC brought us a big shot glass of pickle juice so she could adjust it to her liking. She liked it once she added some more pickle juice. I started out with the Cococacaocoladaclara cocktail (Cacao-Infused Rum, Orange Liquor, Pineapple & Lime Juice, Coconut Milk Clarified, $18). This wasn't quite what I was expecting, and I had a hard time picking out the flavors. It was definitely strong and boozy. We were finishing our first round when we spotted JC walking towards our table with a cloud! He managed to find whatever it takes to make the effect, and we were very appreciative. I have seen a lot of presentations, and this was definitely a unique one. The birthday shot was very good, and he said the ingredients were mezcal, lavender, and lemon. Old Fashioneds have been growing on me lately. After the great presentation of the cloud, I had to try the Sinatra Old Fashioned (Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select, one dash of chocolate Bitters, $40). It is served in a rotating crystal glass, lit from underneath, with a clear ice sphere. Again, the presentation was great, and it was the smoothest old fashioned I've ever had. She had her eye on the Tuk Tuk for her second drink (Coconut Fat Washed Rum, Supasawa, Pandan Syrup, Mango Syrup, Rice Garnish, $18). She asked if it was very sweet, and he said that it was indeed quite sweet. Instead, she opted for the Firefox (Vodka, Pomegranate, Lemon, Vanila, Rose Liquor, Cherry Bitters, $18). Once again, this cocktail had a great presentation. It's served in a short, wide glass that sits perfectly on top of a piece of petrified-looking wood. You hold the glass with both hands and sip it like a bowl of soup. It was very balanced and smooth, with a nice tartness and light sweetness. JC stopped by again to check on our second round. A few minutes later he surprised us again, and returned with shot sized versions of the Tuk Tuk to sample. It was definitely on the sweeter side with good coconut and pandan flavor. We probably would have tried a third round, but we had dinner and a drink before coming here. Their menu of house-curated cocktails is impressive, and features many uncommon ingredients. We had a good time, but JC went the extra mile for us all night long and made it a great time. We will definitely return again.

    Chapter 4 is a cocktail lounge located in Downtown Fullerton, connected to the Lebanese restaurant,…read moreLes Amis. There's a separate entrance on the side of the building. There are a lot of bars in the area, but Chapter 4 is a touch classier, offering craft cocktails in a smaller, intimate setting. Service is overall very nice. The servers check up on you often and are friendly. The ambiance is moody, and on a cold winter night, feels warm and inviting. For regular patrons, lockers are available to store your personal collection of spirits, so that you may enjoy your favorite brews in the atmosphere of Chapter 4. We visited right in time for their winter seasonal menu. The Candlelight Confession from this menu is delicious, and served with a torched marshmallow. From their signatures, I really enjoyed La Peligrosa, a tequila based cocktail that was floral and refreshing. My drink of choice recently, however, has been a Pornstar Martini. I asked the bartender if he could make one for me, and he just happened to have the ingredients necessary. So he did :) It was really good.  I enjoyed myself so much on my first visit that I invited more of my friends to come the following Friday. There were 7 of us total. It was a tight squeeze, but they were able to fit us all at a table. I'm very grateful to the staff for accommodating us, but I definitely would recommend visiting with a smaller party. There was live music that night with a trumpet player, livening up the air with jazz music. We had Pornstar Martinis again, which were amazing. I also dabbled in their whiskey cocktails as those are their specialty. The High Society was quite the showstopper, arriving at our table topped with a woolen cloud set ablaze. The way the embers danced was nothing short of magic. Removing the cloud revealed a wispy layer of smoke, which was both captivating and added depth to the drink. The rye whiskey was smooth and palatable, with a steady warmth as opposed to a harsh burn and flavored by cherry bitters. I don't usually drink darks, but this was very enjoyable. I also took the opportunity to sample the Démodé, Chapter 4's take on an Old Fashioned, garnished with an orange peel and a Luxardo cherry. Like the High Society, the whiskey was smooth and enjoyable to sip over time.  I love Chapter 4. The drinks are palatable and interesting. The staff is welcoming and kind. The atmosphere is classy, yet laid back and cozy. In a downtown district filled with sports bars and pubs (which can be fun), Chapter 4 is my calm eye of the storm, a place to sit, relax, and enjoy the night with well crafted drinks and conversation.

I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.
