I went there to enjoy some whiskeys. Hailey was so friendly, and helpful with drink. I went there to try out new whiskeys there. They have mostly entry level whiskeys (bourbon, scotch), but i saw johnny walker blue label was sitting there as well!! It was enjoyable moment and good atmosphere there. Would love to visit again. read more

A nice local bar. It was totally chill with a good selection of drinks. The customers seemed to be all local. I did like that it was also a Steelers bar. Go Steelers! It did have another interesting feature. Throughout the bar, they had multiple tv screens showing pictures of: favorite customers, hot bartenders with their work schedule, and my fav, customers that were 86d. If you're ever up in Tustin, check this place out. read more

What happened to this place? I discovered this bar a couple years ago and it was cleaned and good ambience, very decent dive bar. I recently stopped by and is nothing like it, restroom is dirty and barely working, the whole rooms stinks like it hasn't been open or ventilated in months. People is nice but a good cleaned up is so needed read more

While I'd heard of the Walnut Room, I didn't realize it was located in this modest, dated shopping center (catty-corner from the Original Taco Factory, which we've visited for years!), accessed through a commercial glass door with no other windows. Considering its uninviting exterior, the interior was surprisingly more spacious -- and brighter -- than expected. Yes, it's very casual, no frills, but lively and comfortable (our thoughts are that the interior lights could be a little dimmer). We were so fortunate to be served by McKenna, who cheerfully greeted us, making us feel at ease from the start -- as if we were regulars! LOVED her positive energy and personality!! Reasonable drinks, amazing service, fun-&-casual atmosphere... we're eager to return (hoping to see McKenna behind the bar, again)! read more

I was summoned to the Walnut Room Saloon to watch the Lakers game with my friends. Great spot if you're looking for a no frills bar with plenty of TVs for game time. They were playing the Lakers, Dodgers, Angels, and whatever else the customers requested. Decent amount of screens. The bar was completely full and we were able to get a few of those seats for TV enjoyment but they also have many tables that are good for groups. The highlight is the affordable drinks. Our group had some beers, well drinks and definitely a few shots and I was surprised how low the bill was. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely come back the next time I want to catch a game with some affordable drinks. Cheers! read more

We love Walnut Room & Mckenna is the best! Last night it was super busy and a group of 8 of us came in around 11pm. Regardless of how crazy busy it got in there she still managed to get us drinks, shots, & waters whenever we wanted them. I hope she knows her hard work is seen and appreciated by so many! We love that they have touch tunes, darts, and pool. Would 10/10 recommend! read more

I'm a frequent flyer at Walnut Room and overall, I love the place with one recent exception: if you want a rude bartender and shitty service, visit when Chris is bartending. She is rude, dismissive, and careless. She comes off as if she hate her job and does not have the ideal personality for bartending (although she manages to work at other local pubs too). She has the owners fooled I guess... Chris - if you read this, you have some inner work to do. Most bartenders are polite and have a great attitude when serving patrons but unfortunately on various occasions, I've witnessed her scream, argue, and make crude remarks to patrons and to myself too. My interactions with Chris have not been pleasant so it has prompted me to write this review about her particularly. Cool bar but I highly recommend visiting on nights when Hailey or Melissa are bartending. They are great and provide the type of service any local patron wants to receive. read more

I came to this bar with the father of my children on a Friday at 5:00 pm. It's 6:41 pm and it is pretty relaxing, clean, and has great service. The owner (Darlene) is incredibly friendly, kind and has a great sense of humor. The women's restroom is very clean and located inside the bar. We ordered a Cadillac margarita, Mexican Lollipop, Hazy IPA, and Washington Apple. It's such a cute place. They also have a pool table and two electronic dartboards. Room for improvement: They don't sell food but they do sell snacks. They didn't tell me anything when I brought my own food from outside though. I really appreciated that as I brought in a lot of food and snacks. I am excited to come back to such a clean and friendly place. read more

If I can do big fat zero I would...who ever the bartender on Saturday nights I would be aware of your check not only does she over charge but she adds things that you never drank. She thinks she can get away with it because she believes you're intoxicated but that's not the case. Always ask for an itemized receipt. We frequent this place a lot and I know complaining to the owners or even writing this review won't do much but it might warn future customers to avoid going here at least Saturday nights. There are other bars in the area you can visit. Sad that we will stop going here Saturday nights because of this girl. Please get rid of her. UPDATE*** Came in again hoping it wasn't this bartender but unfortunately it was but decided to try and give it another chance but she was very butt hurt about the truth lol she won't serve you if you write a "mean" Yelp review :( She asked me why I was in HER bar and also told the other bartender/ bar back to not serve us. LOL!! Way to keep things professional when everything was their mistake to begin with. I work in the industry and know about professionalism and how to handle 1 "mean" Yelp review.

This place is Tustins best kept secret! It has the most positive energy & people. Tuesdays are the best. Mel makes the best tacos of all sorts- every Tuesday. The tacos are KILLER. FREE and made from scratch- dont sleep on them they tend to run out quickly. 12-9pm tues is when available. Also, Makenna kills it, your empty drink is immediatly noticied and tended to. The attetntion to detail the employees put forth doing their job as it should is uncanny. I frequent many establishments in the vacinity and can't talk this place up enough. Think of it as a nice clean bar with service you'd expect at an upscale bar/lounge for far less cost. Ask Makenna to make you an old fashioned- ive had them all over OC. I was shocked it was made to perfection at a place such as this categorized as a "dive bar". Last but not least, the star of the show is Fernando, he is the most respectful, kind, barback/helper ive seen anywhere in Orange County. He continues to go above and beyond what his job entails & not once have i seen him complain about anything asked of him. Wanna see a true 'A' team? Head to Walnut Room. You WONT be dissapointed! read more

In a word, "unexpected". You would never guess that in a very unassuming strip mall, facing a very unassuming parking lot, was a busy dive bar. But is it truly a dive bar? The interior is incredibly clean and bright for a dive bar. I'll leave the judgment call to those more experienced with the dive bar world, and just say this - this bar didn't make me wonder if I was up to date on all my shots. Speaking of shots, the busy bartender here can make a number of drinks, from cans or taps, although I don't believe that they have a full alcohol license. There are darts here and plenty of seating at the bar and tables, and a restroom that won't make you sick to look at. Again, one point against this being an actual dive bar. I felt like there were lost of regulars here, but they were friendly. read more

When we arrived, we were helped by a very kind server named Vivi. She was attentive and even changed the channel so we could watch the baseball game we came for. When her shift ended, we closed our tab with her and waited to open a new one with Katie, who was starting her shift. Unfortunately, once Katie began her shift, the music and the television channels were changed, even though we were clearly there to watch the baseball game. In hindsight, that may have been a sign that the experience would not go well. It took approximately 23 minutes for her to come and take our order I asked for a michelada and a ginger ale. This was extremely disappointing service. I would understand a delay if the place had been busy, but as you can see, the establishment was fairly empty at the time. Because of this, there was no clear reason for such a long wait. Overall, this was the worst service we have experienced here, which was surprising given our previous positive visits. That said, I would also like to highlight one of the servers who consistently provides excellent service. If possible, I would recommend visiting Thursday through Sunday when Naidelyn is working. She is always attentive to customers, provides great service, and greets everyone with a smile.

Meaning not just beer, hard alcohol and wine too. Parking is easy, but it's paid parking. I went for a work event so parking was validated for us, so not sure how much it is. But just know, you will be paying for parking.

My wife and I recently stopped by in here and we were craving barbecue. We've lived in Tustin for a…read morewhile and never wanted to try it since we don't normally crave bbq. Little did we know we were pleasantly surprised. We did the 2 meat combo - tri tip and smoked briskets. They were out of burnt ends otherwise we would have done the three meat combo. For our sides, we did the sweet potato and the corn. The meat was very tender, and we really enjoyed it with the several different sauces they provided! On a different occasion, the waitress had mentioned they had one dollar wings and we came back the following week and we order a good amount of wings and we really enjoyed them because they were smoked! We really enjoyed our meals!

Sauced was a complete letdown. The restaurant was half empty, yet somehow they were already "sold…read moreout" of multiple items by the time we ordered -- including ribs and burnt ends. You know... the actual BBQ staples people come here for. If you can't serve your headline dishes, maybe don't pretend you're a BBQ restaurant. Then the service: our drinks came out in random batches, so we couldn't even do a simple cheers together. Basic stuff, botched. And the cherry on top: we tried to order a grilled cheese and were told they ran out of bread (how?) and that they'd send Texas toast instead. Fine. Except then we're told the kitchen refused to make it. Not "we can't," not "it'll be a wait," but refused. So you're out of bread, out of major entrees, and the kitchen just decides it won't make a simple menu item? That's not a restaurant -- that's dysfunction. This place felt disorganized, unprepared, and honestly kind of careless. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Save your money and your time.

I've been going to The Hive since it first opened. Like any new business, it had a few minor…read moregrowing pains at the beginning, but it has truly grown into a standout spot in the Anaheim Hills sports and live music scene. The venue features numerous screens throughout, making it a great place to catch all your favorite local teams--especially during playoff season. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, perfect for fans and families alike. I'm there most often for the live music. Harry, the owner, does a fantastic job booking a wide variety of bands, particularly on weekends--that's usually when my group and I head over. There's a spacious dance floor, and it's always a fun night for everyone who attends. The food is excellent with a solid variety of options, though I'd still love to see a big, classic hot dog added to the menu someday (hint, hint, Harry!). The service is consistently great, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend stopping by to catch a game or check out a local band on the weekend.

Save your time and money. GO ELSEWHERE!…read more I rarely write reviews, but this experience was bad enough to warrant one. We came in with a valid coupon--not expired, nothing shady--and were flat-out refused. No reasonable explanation, no attempt to make it right, just a dismissive "we're not honoring that." For the record, we ordered two margaritas, a fountain drink an appetizer and split a taco plate. The coupon was for a free appetizer. After presenting the bill the manager stated they cannot honor the coupon because the appetizer was more than the tacos (the appetizer being tater tots, that I ADDED $7.00 carne asada to.) I asked if they could just take the tater tots off or even just take the tacos off if it were a price issue. They refused. Made no attempt to make the situation right. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to making up for it. Everything tasted bland, poorly prepared, and overpriced for the quality. It honestly felt like zero care went into what was served. The drinks from the bar weren't any better--weak, unbalanced, and not even close to what you'd expect from a "Sports bar" What really sealed the deal was the manager's attitude. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, he came across as dismissive and uninterested. No accountability, no customer service--just a shrug and a bad vibe. Overall, this place misses the mark on every level: food, drinks, and integrity. There are too many good restaurants out there to waste time and money on one that doesn't respect its own customers. So many restaurants going out of business locally it's sad, but with events like this, it makes sense. Value the customer. Take pride in serving your community.
