Burger and brew $13 all day Tuesdays
Christine K.

Loving this spot. It's inside wholefoods market. They have a good brew selection. Thursdays is Burger and Brew $13 all day. Pub or some Vegan burger + beer from tap!! Before you had to choose from the $7 beer selection but when I went yesterday they said it can be any beer excluding just 1 of the beers!!! Score! Beer prices range from $7-$10/ pint or tulip. The burger is pretty good! Especially at this price! Nice and juicy everytime! My coworker thinks its too juicy! Haha Anyways, cant wait to they their Taco Tuesday deal!!

Impossible Burger and Fries

This spot is now one of my new local go-to's I love the food, staff and quick service. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a bite or go to the salad bar, food bar. There is so many options. I have never been dissapointed.

This is a little bar inside Whole Foods. I attached pics with their current menu (the one on the website is outdated). I'm a fan of this place. They have a good selection of beers on tap. Check out the TapHunter app for what they're currently pouring. My current favorites are Modern Times Critical Band and Lagunitas Born Again Yesterday. Food: - Beyond Burger: I'm not a big veggie burger person but this one is great. They get a nice grilled flavor from the sear on it and although the tomatoes and lettuce tend to look a little sad, it's still a tasty burger. - Fish Tacos: you get 3 large fish tacos per order. Very filling and tasty. The fish is nice and tender and the batter is light and crispy. - Fish and Chips: The fish is the same as they use in the tacos, so it's good. Also, there's live music on Saturdays from 6pm to 9pm or so.

I ordered the pub burger and a salad with steak on the side. The steak was 8.5/10 and the burger was 6/10. The server was attentive and the atmosphere is light.

Cheese & Charcuterie plates with bread

Great service, a good selection of draft beers, reasonably priced happy hour menu. The poutine was pretty good; fries with melted cheddar covered with white gravy. Add some duck or braised ribs and this would absolutely rock. The charcuterie and cheese plates were smaller, but tasty. This might be my go to happy hour hangout. Highly recommend.

So guys, do you ever get annoyed when your wife calls you at 4:55pm to ask that you stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things?!? Yep - me, too - but not any more. Now I call her to see if she needs anything...win-win! The Irv is a great spot inside Whole Foods with a good selection of craft beer and food. And better yet - if you don't like the menu, just walk through the store and grab anything from salad to pizza. But heads up...don't say 'Honey - I'm home!' after a three hour tour...a gallon of milk don't take that long...

They have Kombucha on tap

See all

Had a blast at their new trivia night! Will definitely be back for another one - a great place to grab a pint or two after work in the area!

Tuesday tacos are the best. And having a beer at your neighborhood grocery store?! Priceless. Free parking.

2 stars cause it's dirty, they don't bus their tables, and the bar help is too cool for school.

We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch/dinner. To start, the wait wasn't that bad which was…read morenice! I think we waited 15-20 minutes. It was quick for a Saturday :) Food- Great! We all ordered very different things (beer, cocktails, pancakes, chicken wraps, fries, salads, poke, burger, ice cream sundae) and all were great :) Service- Our waiter and waitress were really sweet and helpful. There were a few shift changes so some orders got lost in translation and we had to ask a few times about food that we ordered. A few of our items were forgotten about but we eventually got them :) All of the staff was great, but I think some things got a little lost among the business of a Saturday, which I think was also prom night as we saw some parties dressed up! Inside was huge! Tonsssssss of seating and tables. Nicely decorated and clean. I would definitely come back :)

A fun sports bar with great happy hour deals at Irvine Spectrum. There is a parking structure…read morenearby, but you would still need to cross a small street to get to the restaurant. They have mostly indoor seating with a small outdoor patio. Service interactions are minimal because all of the tables have little screens that you can place your order and pay on. The only items that you can't order from there are the alcoholic beverages. The food comes out very quickly. My favorite thing to order (especially during happy hour) are the poke nachos. The fish is of decent quality and pairs well with the rest of the ingredients. The portion sizes are decent and the flavor is good. Some of the items fall on the more oily side, but it's still a fun place to eat.

I believe his name was Bobby and he made my trip to Dave and Buster very pleasant. He made sure that he was on top of everything and gave me and my friends very good service. Even without serving us, I couldn't help but notice just the way he interacts with all his guest. Even with more challenging guest, he remained professional. Also the managers were so freaking cool. They were so friendly it was nice to be surrounded and served by awesome people. I also want to say that I've been in other locations and this one was hands down one of the cleanest spot in OC. We overall had an amazing experience and will be coming back over and over for some good time. Food was EVERYTHING

When we arrived, the NBA Playoffs were in full swing, and I loved that they offered two different dining areas for guests who wanted to enjoy the game. My husband and I chose the less crowded section, which turned out to be perfect--our booth was cozy, spacious, and very clean. Taylor was our waiter, and he was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our visit. He definitely had a lot on his plate managing multiple tables, but he handled everything with a great attitude and did his best to stay attentive. Our drinks came out quickly, and I have to give a shoutout to the bartender--the Long Island Iced Tea was absolutely perfect! For appetizers, we ordered the mild buffalo wings, and let me just say... they were the star of the night. So good that I honestly wish I had just ordered another round of those! For our entrées, my husband had the blackened chicken pasta Alfredo, and I went with the chicken Parmesan Alfredo. We both requested extra sauce since they tend to go a little light on it. His dish came out just right, but mine didn't have the extra sauce as requested. I did ask for more, and while they brought out a side of Alfredo, it looked a bit different from what my pasta originally had. The dish wasn't bad, but it's probably not something I would order again. Now dessert--this was a win! We got the Brookie, which is a pan-baked cookie served in slices and topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry, all drizzled with chocolate and caramel. It was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. We also took advantage of a meal special that included a game card, which added a fun touch to the experience. However, by the time the playoff game ended, the gaming area was packed with kids. I do think this location leans more toward children and teenagers, with only a limited selection of games geared toward adults. It would be great to see more updated and balanced options in the future. One unique aspect of this location is the layout--it has a bar in the front and a large bar in the middle of the gaming area, which felt a bit unexpected given how many kid-focused games there are. It might be worth rethinking that balance to better suit all types of guests. Overall, we had a really great time and would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night--especially for the wings and drinks!
