Phantom Ales Brewery • $
1211 N Las Brisas St, Anaheim

“I came for a short trip to Southern California and stumbled upon this micro brewery thanks to a Lyft driver.

Just like one of the other reviews mentioned- this place is a hidden gem!
When my friend and I pulled up to the outside we weren't sure to expect since it's inside an office plaza.

We almost thought we had the wrong place. Once we were in however we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and found it to be really down to earth and fun. There are big tables and even board games in the back that you can play while sipping on some great beer.

We were helped by Jes (Jessica) and she was awesome! She provided great service, was very down to earth, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She let us try different beers and her fun and engaging personality that added a great flare to the place!

I'd love to come back the next time I'm in the OC area!“

Ruby's Sports Bar Bar •
2822 W Ball Rd, Anaheim

“While I will get personal in this review to a degree, I will also be completely honest. The people you meet at ruby's are a mixed bunch between wonderful and terrible. Though that speaks of the patrons. Among which I have met what might as well be a brother to me, an only child naturally. A father to me, someone raised by a single mother. As well as plenty of friends who care... but also those who'd just take advantage, the good people far outweighed the bad. The ownership is up in the air right now due to a divorce where either potential option has their perks and I'll remain neutral despite saying that the husband's choice in manager needs to learn humility and how to speak to people, an issue many young managers face and must learn in the field when first given a leadership position. As well as the wife's choice could stand to learn when to say no. Regardless though during their personal issue, the staff remains strong and solid. Bartenders who genuinely care enough to personally make sure customers get home safe and sound, as well as give a chance to noble souls amongst the downtrodden, and I speak as someone in love with one and living with one as well.. when alone and broken before, and it was more than one of them, nearly all of them who put in an effort towards helping me through multiple deaths in the family as well as my partner of 10 years leaving me. They are trusting, sometimes too much for their own good, and there is a reason I make the drive from lake Elsinore to anaheim more often than not, and rarely their westminster location still despite the options in between. I have faith in ruby's, it's regulars, and it's staff... no matter who leads it between Cherie and Mike, I know so long as it maintains its spirit, it can and will survive and do well. And I say this as someone with their popularity in reviews based mostly in negative truths. Ruby's sports bar is one of few establishments I place faith and trust in. And if anyone who reads this finds me there, let me know and we'll take a shot on me to Ruby's and the hope and memories it creates!“

“Good cozy tavern bar. Small place, good spot to stop on your bar hopping day. The food is too expensive tho. The turkey sandwich was dry and the fries were over cooked and too salty.

If it gets really busy it can be hard for the solo bartender to get back around to you. Over all go check it out.“

This is greatly due to the lovely bartenders on staff. Meow was the first one that welcomed me and my friend in, and she was very attentive and made sure we had a blast!

All in all, the people are great and the decor is cozy and relaxing. A great spot to hit up during the weekdays as well as the packed weekends!“

“Drove by this bar and immediately thought, I'm always down for dive bars, and this place definitely brought me back—way back! The moment I stepped in, the smell hit me—a mix of nostalgia, bad times, drunk times and good times! The people were super friendly, creating a true neighborhood haunt vibe.
The bar offers classic features like pool, darts, and shuffleboard, plus sports on TV and a jukebox that keeps the atmosphere lively. On certain days, they serve snacks like nachos and other bar favorites, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The prices are great too—definitely a place where you can have a good time without breaking the bank.
Overall, this place oozes charm and character. I’ll definitely be coming back for more good vibes, great company, and some fun games. A hidden gem in the neighborhood!

“Showed up with my boy who was visiting from out of town. Never been to a lounge or bar in Santa Ana before. This is definitely the neighborhood spot, but they made me and my friend feel like regulars.

Claudia hooked it up with the libations. She made it happen. I mean you won’t get Clase Azul here but you’ll get first class food and service.

I had no idea the food was going to be on point as it was and it surprised me. You expect bar food, but this food is on another level. Fresh made tortilla chips served hot with mouth watering and juicy tacos. I had the asada and al pastor. Served hot and fresh.

Claudia and the chef Josh made it real nice for the experience. I highly recommend if you’re in Santa Ana. It’s dark in there so when we came out the doors at 5p you definitely need sun shades or time to adjust.

It’s a perfect vibe in there. Lookout for the baby giraffe!“
