I finally got to visit this cozy, dimly lit speakeasy at the Packing District that I'd had…read morebookmarked for the longest time! Reservations are required since it's a small, hidden bar. The space has a Harry Potter theme with spooky decorations, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. They offer a mix of classic tiki drinks and specialty cocktails. My favorites were the Philosopher's Stone Fruit and Eater of Death #2. Both drinks were creative, unique, and fun to try! We loved the cocktails and would recommend checking this place out!

The Blind Rabbit is no doubt a very neat place and definitely an experience, but the reason for my…read moreone star is because my friend and I were treated absolutely terribly by one of the bartenders. We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

Having said all that, the service has been pretty awful the last couple times I've visited. I really wish they would hire more staff because it seemed like there was only one server for the entire place and everything was quite slow. Parking is pretty rough but that's not within their control - I'm not counting it against them but it's worth mentioning.

We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

They delivered on a high quality experience on BOTH visits. We had 4 different drinks the first time we were here, and everything we ordered was exceptional. On our second visit, our experience was equally spectacular. I feel like I want to taste everything on their menu. Their cocktails are truly crafted to be something beyond the ordinary. Definitely something for everyone. We ordered different drinks from our last visit, and again, every one struck gold. The staff were amazing on both visits, and the food options were also delicious. The vibe is elegant and intimate. We will continue to come here whenever we want to have a special night out.

You can make a reservation on their website. My first cocktail was the Blood & Ink (Cynar 70, onion skin syrup, pomegranate, $18). It drinks on the bitter side with some light sweetness. She liked this a lot and ordered it as her second drink. Her first cocktail was the Sweet Intoxication (Lemon Hart 151, Fernet, falernum, cold brew, $20). This drink had some good complexity with bitterness and good coffee notes. It has a mole foam on top with a cinnamon sprinkle. You get a little of the foam with each sip which tones down the 151 and adds some additional flavor and texture. We were in the mood for some food, so we ordered a few items. Their food menu is more small bites than full entrees. If you are looking for a full meal, dine next door at Les Amis before your visit to Chapter 4. I had the Steak & Fries ($20). The steak was seasoned well, is pre-cut, and there were some onions and peppers in the mix. I would guess its three to four ounces of meat, and it comes with a good garlic sauce. The round-cut fries were good, and there were a lot of them. This was the perfect plate since I wasn't hungry enough for a full entree. She had the quesadilla with chicken ($17). It is made using pita bread, and is filled with chicken, cheese, and some veggies. It was good and filling. Next, I had the Black Garlic Old Fashioned (bourbon, black garlic demerara, bitters, smoked, $22). This has a great presentation as the drink arrives smoked in a tall glass container. First the smoke is poured into the glass, followed by the cocktail. It drinks very smooth with some light sweetness. The garnish is a roasted garlic clove. I ate it, and it was surprisingly sweet with only a light garlic flavor. We had one more round from the regular menu. I had the Prophet and Loss (pandan, coconut rum, velvet falernum, bright citrus, silky mango pineapple foam, $18). The grassy flavor from the pandan stands out with coconut underneath. The foam top is a little sweet, and I actually liked the drink better as more of the foam mixed in to the rest of the drink. Maybe I'd stir it a bit next time. She had the Pasilla & Banana (mezcal, pasilla syrup, banana liqueur, pineapple, lime, chocolate bitters, $18). It drinks mezcal forward, but not too much, with banana and a subtle heat underneath. Service was great, friendly and prompt. Even the owner, JC, was helping out with service on a busy Saturday night. We enjoyed the food and drinks. I really like the cocktail program here. They offer a wide selection of original cocktails, they actively add new drinks to the menu, and they use a great variety of spirits and ingredients you don't often see. We will be back soon!

This was exactly the place that I was looking for in Orange County, without having to go to LA for. Located right next to the Anaheim Packing District, parking can be difficult to find, but we were lucky on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and found street parking easily. Reservations were easy to make on OpenTable, but do note that DJ starts playing music at 7pm and you only get your reservation for about 80 minutes, so if that makes any difference, make sure to plan accordingly. I chose bar seating for a party of two and I honestly do recommend it over the tables if you have a smaller group. I personally like to see the bartender do their thing and make our delicious concoction. Now onto the best part, the food and drinks! Short Rib Mac & Cheese $25 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Probably one of my favorites from the night. A good chunk of tender short rib along with some cheesiness is all I need with my drink. I would get this again. Potatoes & Tomatoes $15 - hand cut triple cooked fries with housemade ketchup. This was like In N Out Fries extra crispy but even better. I would get this again. Citrus Marinated New York Steak $39 - Requested for medium rare and got medium rare. Was pretty flavorful and good for the price. I would get this again. Duck Birria Tacos $25 - I like the idea of duck birria tacos, but I wasn't too impressed with the duck birria. The consome was good though. I'll try the wagyu tacos the next time! Sample Tracks Whiskey Flight $25 - 4 different ranges of whiskey, each shaped by a different musical influence. I shared this with my bf since we each got our own cocktails and it was so cool to taste the differences of each whiskey. Our favorite was definitely the classic rock rye. Heartbreak U.S.A $18 - A clear old-fashioned? like whaaa? that's right, you read that correctly! And it was so smooth and smokey...yumm even though I'm not the biggest old fashioned fan, I would definitely steal sips of this again. Velvet Elvis $18 - This was a dangerous drink for me b/c the bourbon with the green apple calvados mixed very well together. I couldn't taste the alcohol that much but I definitely felt it afterwards! I would recommend this one if you're looking for something refreshing and not overpowering in taste. GET THE BAKED ALASKA FOR DESSERT $18. They torch it in front of you and how can you say no to ice cream and brownies? Our bartender, Brandon, was amazing and took care of us the whole night. He even let us sample "Speed Test" whiskey that is currently not on the menu! The one thing we forgot to do was to buy a bottle or two of the whiskeys home, but I think we both knew we were going to come back again as it was such an enjoyable experience. We'll be back soon!!!

Food- decent happy hour all day sunday and weekday good prices and drinks option. Decor great festive Service is damn terrible it took 30 minutes to get bacon and eggs and she forgot my bacon then i said nevermind cant wait I'll order wings and a drink never came. Finally like 15 minutes later, another server came up she seemed kind of more experience and asked me what I needed and I said I've been waiting 15 minutes still for my wings still for my drink they're not that super busy. I counted about 15 tables at most and everyone had their food. Finally I got my drink and food about 10 minutes later so we were late to go bowling, the service is truly awful. If it doesn't change, I can't imagine any quality of people would actually come back it's awful service awful!! if i was manager i would need to fix it asap read more

As a food enthusiast, I was thrilled to try their renowned signature cocktail, the New Fashion. Made with Bulleit Bourbon, House Syrup, Aromatic & Orange Bitters, it's a true masterpiece that ignites the senses. The moment the El Jardin and Cancun Waters cocktails arrived at my table, I was transported to a tropical paradise. The vibrant colors and refreshing taste whisked me away to the Caribbean. The Honey Chili Wings and Shrimp Ceviche were exceptional. The wings were succulent, coated in a tantalizing honey chili glaze that had just the right amount of heat. The ceviche was a burst of freshness, with tender shrimp and a tangy citrus kick. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating an atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment. read more

I had high hopes for this venue, yet... The drinks, though visually appealing, were disappointingly weak in alcohol content. Considering the price, I expected a more potent cocktail, not something akin to store-bought juice. The food was passable, and its prices reasonable relative to other places, but it lacked any distinctive qualities. However, the service was commendable - courteous and diligent. As for the ambiance, it was a vibrant mix of loud and lively, with a lounge-like feel. read more

The venue appeared to be focused on creating a nightclub atmosphere rather than providing a proper football watch party. There was a DJ, extremely loud music, and a host who continuously provided her own commentary throughout the match. Instead of allowing fans to enjoy the game, she repeatedly interrupted play with jokes, personal observations, and constant microphone chatter that distracted from the match. Halftime was especially frustrating. Rather than preparing for the second half, the host performed multiple songs while fans on the patio were asking for the match audio to be turned on. Even after the game resumed, the unnecessary commentary continued for the remainder of the match. To make matters worse, there was a $30 cover charge. I purchased tickets for my entire group in advance, spending well over $200 before food and drinks. For that price, I expected a venue that understood people were there to watch one of the biggest sporting events in the world--not to watch the host become the center of attention. A great World Cup watch party lets the match create the atmosphere. The crowd, the chants, the tension, and the emotion are what make these events memorable. Unfortunately, those moments were constantly interrupted. I genuinely wanted to like Chako's Social, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. If you're looking for a true football viewing experience where the game comes first, I cannot recommend it based on my visit.

Tom came over to introduce himself and told us about music nights and there will be singers there. We love this place so much we stayed until closing time. We were the last ones to leave! We were already talking about coming back for when the singers will be there. Our first time here... And definitely won't be our last!

What a beautiful place. Vibes, Vibes, VIBESSSSS. Me and my…read morehusband really enjoyed the live music and the drinks. The pianist was very good and took my request. We tried a few cocktails and the sweet potato fries! All very good and tasty. The fries came with some sort of cinnamon goodness and tasted like christmas had come early. I see us coming back here soon. :)

Came here with a party of 8, and even though we didn't have a reservation, they were able to…read moreaccommodate our large party! They had complimentary chips and salsa waiting for us on the table. It's on the spicier side, so just a warning! I got the Enchiladas Verdes with chicken and suizas sauce. It's also topped with melted cheese and sour cream with Mexican rice and beans on the side. This dish comes with two enchiladas, and they were very tasty! I really enjoyed their suizas sauce. I also tried some of the Chile Relleno. It's a roasted Anaheim chile stuffed with melted cheese, dipped in egg batter, and then fried. This one had a little kick to it, but it was tasty nonetheless! It was our friend's birthday, and they brought him a scoop of ice cream! They also offered to bring out a sombrero for him to wear, but he declined. Fun spot to celebrate birthdays!

Swung by Farolito (an expansion of El Farolito from Placentia) for Happy Hour. The location is…read moreinside a shared business building on old town Fullerton. Farolito of Fullerton has a much smaller, more intimate space than I expected. Although it's as a restaurant, it feels more like a tapas bar with a strong happy hour atmosphere. The vibe is quite different from El Farito on Placentia, which offers a more traditional sit-down dining experience and more family-oriented. Even though table service is available, the overall ambiance made me decide to order at the counter instead as it's noticeably different. I order potato taquitos and lack potatoes. It's purely cheese so I was disappointed. However, the hard taco with grounded beef was yummy. The salsa is not as good as it was very watery.
