Thursday lunch starts with a $6.50 Margarita made by bartender Naielli (Only $3.00 during Happy Hour on Tuesdays), perfectly balanced with a light blend of sweet and sour and a heavy pour of tequila. Then a $12 Pub Burger with a loaded plate of fat, real fries and my go-to side of ranch dressing. My friend ordered a $10 build-it-yourself calzone, adding olives, tomatoes, and spinach toppings at $0.25 each. Light, with a cloud of ricotta cheese and a thin crispy crust - Yummy! The charming and friendly Joaquin, to my left, ordered a thin-crust 18" cheese pizza, which was the $10 Thursday Special. For an extra $4.00 he got half the pizza with big fat slices of sausage and bell pepper, the other half ham and pineapple. Absolutely delicious! My tummy was going to be challenged to find room for all the wonderful opportunities at hand. I was told that Maria, who is doing all the dayshift cooking, is a perfectionist. I tipped her in cash, because it truly was a wonderful meal, and she deserved to be recognized for it all! This place looks a little rough around the edges on the outside, and is in a location not known for fine dining, but it's a gastronomic pleasure on the inside, to be sure. There are shuffleboard and Foosball tables inside, plus a felt pool table in the outdoor patio / smoking area. Multiple video screens for sports fans, and the bar is separate from a larger room with family style seating at long tables. If you haven't eaten here before, come for the great food, and return for the GREAT FOOD and great value! Truly a hidden gem in Lake Forest, right off the 5 freeway at El Toro, on Bridger. read more

The Pub is a sweet place! Sammy, the chef is always cooking up something nice , the pizza is hand tossed & the wing special hits different+ NFL gameday specials on food/beer are cheap.. the 3 pool tables are nice too. read more

This little spot is great for a mellow night out. We were there on a Saturday evening. We weren't looking for anything fancy just some good greasy food and beer. This is definitely the spot for that. The food, prices, service and drinks are great. The bartender Adriana was super nice and attentive. read more

The worst chicken sandwich I've ever had, made worse by the fact it's not what I ordered. Tastes frozen and is chewy to the point of inedible. Stale bread burnt too. read more

The Pub - a slice of pizza on a plate - Pizza Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I got an email for a BOGO Pub burger so I followed the drections to place my order for two 12 dollar Pub burgers for the price of one and figured it better be good for 12 bucks! I got an email back after I ordered and payed for the great deal with frys included! After 20 minutes I got there and no one knew anything about the order???? I showed the bar tender the order on my phone so they made a phone call to the owner and after waiting for 15 more minutes the bartender put the order in. The bar was really loud and I realized I would probably be there a while so I ordered a Michalada. It was 10 dollars for the beer with Clamato juice added. I have to admit I haven't ordered a beer in a while but I didn't realize the prices had gone up so much for burgers and beer. Everyone was very nice about the misunderstanding the food was average but I probably won't go back to this place! read more

Came in last night for a bluegrass jam. The pizza and nachos looked delish but I ordered the 3 taco trio. It was OK...I got ground beef, carne asada and chicken and they all could have used more flavor. All were a little dry, especially the chicken but the salsa helped. Service and prices were very good and since I feel it is worth another try I will be back. read more

First time going here with my mom and son for a quick bite. We made it just in time for Happy Hour! The food did not disappoint and house white zin for $3 a glass can't be beat. Huge chicken strips with thick cut, seasoned fries came out piping hot. They were devoured by my 4.5 year old within minutes. The Irish nachos were thick potato rounds covered in melted cheese, green onions, bacon, and a huge dollop of sour cream. The small (not even that small) house salad was fresh with good ranch! I'd definitely come here just for the food and add the drinks on the side. And our waitress was super sweet too! Right off the freeway to boot! read more

Bar was empty, we came in for a beer and some pizza but apparently the kitchen closes @ 10 :( The bartender was nice so we sat down and just ordered 2 Stella's on tap. Then she says....wait for it...... $16.20 FOR TWO TAP BEERS WTF? I highly doubt we will be back to the pub read more

It was our first time here and Thank You Chrissy ( The One With The Beautiful Blonde Hair) & Chris for making us feel so welcomed! By far the pub is lake Forest's hidden gem! Don't hesitate to ask for them! For sure I will continue to come & recommended this place! Also the wings are delicious (: read more

Why did it take me so long to finally come to this place.... This spot is so laid back. Not too crowded, not too divey, and friendly staff. Just the right balance for a fun relaxing night with friends. Come for happy hour! Great food selection on the HH menu. My favorites are the bacon wrapped jalapenos and Irish nachos. So bomb. The drinks are stiff and worth the penny. Fun atmosphere. Lots of parking. Great service. Food 5* Price 4* Service 5* Location 4* read more

The Pub donated a boat load of delicious pizzas to our nursing staff at Kaiser Permanente in Mission Viejo yesterday! Thanks you so much for this generous and thoughtful gesture! read more

Decided to go check out the Pub (Scarentinos?) We wanted to watch the Hockey game without all the crazy noise we get at Oggi's or High Park... walked into a car area and there is a second area with a car and lots of tables and a huge tv screen (wasn't very clear). We decided to sit at the bar there were just a few people in there. We had read that the food was good! And it was very good! Met some very nice people and Chris the bartender is very nice and social... does his job well. We will be back again! read more

The Pub - Irish Nachos, chips and (awesome) salsa and chicken tacos! (I get them plain but they come with a lot of yum) - Pizza Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Outstanding service in these difficult times. Call ahead and they'll bring you your food in 5 minutes! Massive portions for the price (honestly we ordered WAY TOO MUCH FOOD) and everything was top notch. Ordered shepherd's pie, fish n' chips, hot and honey chipotle wings, wedge salad (which we shared but could serve a family of four) and peanut butter stout and spacedust IPA. Overall outstanding place - support local!! read more

Good place to have a beer and the Wednesday's special for only $5.00 for burger and fry's. The bacon wrapped jalapeños are delicious. Loved the service read more

See all

I come to the pub just for PAIZLEY WITH A Z (not a 'c') because she is AMAZING. Ask for her if you want your sh*t done RIGHT (not that the other employees won't but i mean if you want some SUPERB service she is your GAL). i recommend the paizley and the vodka sodas. DELICIOUS!!!!! read more

We wanted to check this place out after seeing it change over a few weeks ago. Went tonight with my husband for a date night. The dining room was empty when we arrived and we had the full attention of the server. We ordered the Irish Nachos and Hawaiian pizza Chicago style. Now, I admit that we were taking a risk with the Chicago style, but we wanted to see how they did it. First, the Irish nachos were delicious. I think they use a combo of queso and melted cheddar and the bacon was perfect. Second, the happy hour was a good value: $3 well drinks and domestic beers. And my rum and coke was not watered down. But, the pizza we had was essentially a large slab of mozzarella. I like cheesy pizzas, but this was ridiculous. I expect a Chicago style pizza to be loaded with toppings, and these toppings were pretty sparse, basically sprinkled over about 1/2" thick slab of melted cheese. I couldn't eat more than about 3/4 of a slice because it was so much cheese. I felt like a rock was in my stomach for the rest of the evening. The upshot: don't get Chicago style pizza. But, maybe other stuff is better? Judging from the Irish nachos, they do know how to cook. But don't take your friend in town from the Windy City - they will be offended by this version of their pizza. read more

Took my wife and kids here around 5pm Saturday night after checking out the Christmas stuff at Green Thumb nursery next door. I've seen the signs that this place had recently opened, and "Pub/pizzeria" is right up my alley. The layout of the place is kinda weird, with a hallway you walk down to get to the main dining area separate from the bar. The bar had a few patrons in it, but the dining room was empty (it would be great for a team pizza party based on how it was laid out). We were a little leery since it typically not a good sign to be the only ones eating in a place... We were promptly greeted and had our drinks ordered by a very sweet waitress. We got to enjoy the big TVs, and she even put Mickey Mouse on for the 4 year old since no one else was there. We ordered a side salad to share ($7), which was perfect size to share before the pepperoni pizza ($17) that we also shared. Best part about the place was the pizza! Thin crust, great flavor, delish. I really hope they can attract more people in. I did see signs for HAppy Hour specials throughout the week, so hopefully it's just a matter of time before people realize how good they are. read more

Love the revamp of this place. Love the new back patio area as well. The food is excellent. They are always adding new things to the menu to try. You have got to try the deep dish veggie pizza, it's to die for. In fact, just about everything on this menu is excellent. They also have a daily special which is very reasonably prices, in fact the whole menu is reasonably priced. Service is first rate, no one making you wait forever, and they pour a good drink. In fact, on a couple occasions the girls saw me coming in and already had my drink poured for me. Now that's service!!!!! Did I mention they always have good music playing too. This is a little hidden gem you just can't pass up. read more

They have really good food, pizza is off the chain!!!!......everything made fresh!!! Pleasant employess.....excellent customer servive! I recommend you check them out :) read more

The Pub - BBQ shrimp and chicken salad! So delicious - Pizza Near Me - Lake Forest, California

We are regulars here and we came in to find that on a Friday night at 8 pm the kitchen was closed and instead of our outgoing bartender Chris we saw two girls in sweatpants and hair bunds serving us. Also I asked for an ashtray and I was told the homeless people stole them all. Very disappointed read more

Went into the pub today for the fist time. Super cool place for a drink. Service was great. Bartender Desiree was amazing. Great drinks

The reviews of the food were good so my husband and I decided to give it a try. It doesn't seem like much when you walk in but the food is GREAT! Definitely seems like a hidden gem and a fun place to eat and watch a game. Would recommend. read more

Been at this place couple times and the service is always top notch. The girls at the bar are really friendly and attentive. Ordered the night's special, grilled salmon w mashed potatoes and spinach, a full meal for only $12. This is a newly renovated bar n grill restaurant. The decor at main dining and bar is well done. You'll get a full dining experience for such a reasonable price. Highly Recommended! read more

My vegan fiancee and I came here last Thursday night for happy hour. He got a veggie pizza with no cheese and I got the pepperoni. We also got fries to share. The fries were thick and perfectly cooked. The thin crust pizza was very delicious for both of us, including leftovers! I'm not usually a fan of thin crust because it tends to be cracker-like, but this was not like that at all. We will be going again this week to try more menu items! read more

Thank you Tim for being so generous delivering pizza personally to our Kaiser Medical Center. Our healthcare team appreciate it so much. It's very nice to know there's kind people out there like you. And the pizza are the best! So delicious. Take care! read more

Went here the other night with a friend, it was actually my second time going there and having Jasime serve me. She's really nice and does a great job. 5/5 stars recommend going read more

Thank you so much to the Pub and team for giving us healthcare workers working the Fronlines free pizza! We can thank you enough! You definitely made our day! From Nurses , doctors and staff at Kaiser Permanente! read more

This place rocks. Definitely the best poppers I have ever eaten, fresh fat jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in crispy bacon and dripping with decadent juice down my throat. I almost ordered a second one. Great conversation, fun friendly staff, interesting sociable patrons to mingle with and taco Tuesday. They have happy hour. I ordered the beef crispy tacos for a dollar apiece and some $3 margaritas which were absolutely yum. My husband didn't care for the spaghetti taco much yet he loved the bacon wrapped jalapeños and so did I. Definitely American style food pub so don't expect cantina style authenticity, however the prices cannot be beat and this is why I say five stars as we are impressed with the quality of the food and excellent service from the staff. Will definitely be returning to this excellent spot!! read more

Came in for Monday night spaghetti special--very good! Service was awesome. Very friendly staff. Great TV so we were able to watch NBA basketball on a very big screen. Plus 4 other large screen TV's with hockey and more. We will be back. I read other reviews and "hidden gem" is a good comment. Check it out, you will be back. read more

Cold pizza. They precook the thick pizza, then I guess take it out of cooler and put your toppings on. Ok??? Ours was ice cold with melted cheese. Sent it back and it came back burnt sides and still not that warm in the middle. read more

Stopped by during a slow time but the bartender, Chris I think, was totally cool and funny and made it worth it to hang for a while. Great extra room here for watching sports too. Pool table on the patio, shuffleboard, and board games to play. Owner should de-funk the bathroom though.. but other than that, great! read more

NO AIR CONDITIONING !! This place has the hottest happy hour in town ... literally! Came here for Happy Hour, and sat in the "restaurant" area, and sweat my ass off. No air, no fans, no nothing. The bar has a couple portable fans blowing which makes it tolerable. But if you're not the first 20 people in, you're out of luck. Only the restaurant area or outside is available. Outside is out of the question when temps are in the 90's or above for krise sake. I think the only reason there are portable fans in the bar, is because that's where the employees hang out. This place has NO REGARD for the comfort of their customers. How hard would it be to put up ceiling fans if you're too cheap to run the A/C? I gave 3 stars because the happy hour is good, but too bad it's too hot to enjoy it. read more

There's a lot of local bars in the area, but I'm always here. The $5 burger on Wednesdays is the best, no cooking for this guy!. Adriana is my favorite bartender here, everyone else must agree considering it's always poppin' when she's working! She understand what quality service is all about. My watering hole of 5 years recently closed and I'm glad I found this spot. -Carl read more

I always come in on Tuesdays to see Jazz. She makes the best drinks and always so courteous and nice. Considering everything that's going on due to Covid it's nice to have such great service that always comes with a smile! If you happen to come in to the Pub ask for Jazz she is the absolute best and is the reason why I come in on a weekly basis. 10/10 recommend read more

Came here looking for a dog friendly patio, not sure what to expect... expectations exceeded!! Chris took care of us & he was the icing on the cake!! The pizza was top notch & huge. The Best part was the warm friendly service we received though!! Thank u Chris!!! read more

Great sports/dive bar feel, and the burgers are amazing. Not a huge fan of their non alcoholic beverages. But definitely worth checking out if you want that vibe and are in the mood for a burger. read more

I am at the pub and the bartender Adriana is doing a great job! She is so attentive and is a pleasure to conversate with. I couldn't be happier with my experience here. But more specifically, Adriana is the bomb! She makes the place come alive. If you're going stop by this place make sure to ask for Her. P.s. cheers to Adriana!!! read more

Fun bar, lots of TV's great place to watch sports or just relax with friends and grab a cold beer. I have been coming to this place for years or I should say back when it was an Italian restaurant/bar. The Pub got off to a slow start but there menu has been growing, beer selection as well. They have good food, great bar tenders/servers and a fun local crowd. They are even bringing in live music on the weekends now. There are not a lot of Pub style places here in the local area. Go check it out if you haven't! read more

Came in on a Sunday to get breakfast and the people working are just magnificent! Great service and very friendly. I believe the three people working are Adriana, Nayeli, and Chrissy. Highly recommended! read more
