40 Best Bar & Grill near Brea

“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.“

“honestly i was expecting a basic golf course bar with nothing but bud light and old peanuts but it actually has a solid craft beer selection including a couple local ipas i hadnt tried before. grabbed a burger and it was cooked perfectly with fresh toppings even though it took a little longer than i hoped to come out. the view from the patio looks right over the course so it a nice spot to just hang out and the servers were super friendly even when it got busy. my only small thing is the parking lot is kind of a mess especially on weekend afternoons with people dodging golfers. definitely will be back for the beer list alone even if im not playing that day.“

“The BBQ skewers are the standout. Perfectly grilled, well-seasoned, and consistent across the board. You can tell they’re not cutting corners on quality or technique. Every skewer comes out hot, flavorful, and balanced—not overly greasy or dry, which is where a lot of places fail.

The drink selection is equally solid. Whether you’re into something light or stronger, they’ve got options that pair well with the food instead of overpowering it. No gimmicks, just well-made drinks.

What really ties it all together is the vibe. The music is on point—present but not intrusive—and the whole place has a relaxed, unpretentious energy. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually unwind without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.“

“Heroes, especially this one in particular, might just be my favorite restaurant! I've been going here for a span of 20 year's & I've never had a bad meal! The go to right off the bat for me & my family of course are the the nachos insider hack add chicken, but that's just the beginning. Do yourself a favor & pull up. You won't be disappointed.“

“I’ve been going to Brian’s sports bar since my college days at Cal State Fullerton from 1979 through 1984. Great place to have food, share laughs. and have an ice cold beer.“

“Have been here several times.
Most memorable was when my best friend's picked me up after a 3 week vacation and brought me here.
Katie welcomed us with a huge smile. She was professional, customer oriented and genuinely caring and friendly. Thank you!!“

“Nice little joint will be coming back“

“We actually ended up at Salty Dawg Tavern by mistake because of a mix-up with our plans, but what a happy accident! This place is a total gem that we never would have discovered otherwise.
The food was great, the waitresses were super nice and friendly, and the overall vibe in the tavern was so much fun. It felt like the perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable time.
Highly recommend stopping in — even if you find it by accident like we did! We'll definitely be back on purpose next time. 🐶🍻“

“Great atmosphere and service was great Katrina and Jen were great“

“Was in the area with my mom to get her a car. We had an hour to kill so we came here for lunch! Everything was amazing! It was fresh fast and the staff was very friendly and helpful! I would recommend to anyone that's a poke fan! This was for sure a hit!“

“Came here with my boyfriend because of the Professional Beer Inspector on Instagram. This place had one of the coldest beers featured in his reviews, so we had to check it out.

As soon as we walked in, the music was legit. No horrible new songs--just classics and rock 'n' roll.

Everyone was having a great time inside. You could tell they were locals having real conversations. The crowd was more mature, which was chill, but everyone was still welcoming and friendly. We arrived right before it got too packed for Karaoke Night (Fridays). We met one of the bartenders, Dylan, and he was phenomenal. He took his time with our orders and personally introduced himself with a handshake. The group next to us randomly invited us to sit with them. They were friendly people. Another bartender, Nissa, was even singing behind the bar.

While I was waiting in line to place an order, the manager, Rudy, came up to me and introduced himself. He welcomed us, thanked us for coming in, and told us to let him know if we needed anything. He was very friendly.

The music was bumping, but it wasn't too loud. Someone was celebrating a birthday, but everyone was vibing together. The food was decent, the front patio was great, and yes, the beer was ice cold.

If you're looking for a place with a more genuine crowd, friendly people, and none of the pretentious attitude you find at some Orange County bars, this place is a breath of fresh air. Hit this place up. They're awesome.“

“NOLZA is hands down one of the best Korean pocha spots in Orange County!

The outdoor patio has such an amazing atmosphere, and the huge projector screen makes it the perfect place to watch sports, live events, or just hang out with friends. It really feels like you’re at a Korean street pub.

The food was delicious, every dish we ordered was full of flavor and paired perfectly with soju and beer. The service was just as impressive—everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean pocha vibes, great food, excellent service, and a fun place to spend the evening, this is definitely the place to go. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“My friend and I really enjoyed going to clubhouse. The atmosphere is awesome and the bands that play are terrific.“

“Always a good time at the swig!“

“Definitely going back food was amazing“

“The newish bartender Amanda is great! I hadn't been to the bench in a while and I found the food offerings to be really good. Sometimes the salsa could use more heat(you have to ask for the non gringo version) but otherwise great all around. I will keep coming back for Amanda for sure. World cup games on almost every screen is great too“

“Biggest Bucs bar in California !“

“Been to many many a bar in my lifetime. Scratch's is definitely top 3 for me. Huge brew selection, fair prices, great food, very comfortable atmosphere and it seems to be a magnet for very attractive women. Love the dart league

Parking: There are good number of spots in front of the location and then there is a huge shared parking lot with home Depot and del Taco that isn't being used by the other businesses later in the night and is never full in the day anyway.“

“The loaded baked potato was AWESOME now they need to bring back the broccoli and cheddar cheese baked potato.“

“Great Bartenders Great people fast tables …“

“Amazing service came with my family to celebrate my birthday. Our waiter was exceptional Yamileth took care of everything my family is a little picky so we had a lot of substituting items which she gladly did with no issues. Amazing service and amazing food truly enjoyed the ambient and had great music playing in the background“

“Killer entertainment. Go Latin Soul Band.“

“The steak and lobster and drinks“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“Great Ribeye! Slightly crispy on the outside and juicy throughout. Also had their homemade Apple Cider Sorbet which was so delicious!We sat in the booths so it was a very classy, cozy atmosphere. Great for taking the parents or in-laws out for a special occasion or just for a nice piece of steak.“

“I've been there 2 times thus week,, sooo much fun great food & drinks, Pete introduced himself to us as well. we'll be back!!“

“The place is a small bar, two pool tables, a small dance floor, but the vibe is poppn'.. 5 of us went and we had a blast, we got lucky it was someone birthday and there was live music (banda). The food was great, which caught me by surprise ? ? ?. We loved it so much that we had two orders of the same. The girls at the bar and waitress are friendly. If I'm in the area, I would pop in.“

“Wings, Spin fries, flat pizza ,nachos and drinks never a dull moment 😊“

“Good drinks. And pool tables. And good atmosphere“

“Good times guaranteed. Good drinks.“

“The kitchen staff is top notch! It is apparent the kitchen staff takes great pride in the delivery of your plate. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Guy Fieri raid this joint! Live music and drinks too!!!“

“If you want a nice diner and great talk, definately come here, enough space, quite ambient to actually listen your partner to have a nice chat, and also ask for Carmen at the bar, her drinks are the best, 100% worthy, ask for her signature cocktails and thank me later ???

Parking: Sincé the bar is inside the hotel, you can Park at the front or at the parking lot next to the hotel, is like 2 min walk to the bar.

Kid-friendliness: Definately suitable for Kids, nice and clean place, awesome Job DoubleTree ??“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“This bar is rocking! Great music, bar maids, and cool crowd!“

“I love this place everyone there makes you feel welcomed. The bartenders are amazing great service. If your looking to try out some new dranks definitely hit up Justine, her and juan (old bartender thats use to work there)got me hooked on that "Irish breakfast" shot definitely a must try if you wanna try out new dranks. Howard is a great karaoke dj fun and funny and treats everyone like family he makes it alot of fun. Security is friendly and hilarious. Over all great place and fun to go to.“

“Had a great time, but they lack seating and prices are not on the menu so be careful. Ended the night with a hefty bill for a party of 6, not to mention the $15 cover charge for each person. Made for an expensive but fun night! I would have included the amount but they already deleted it from another post.“

“The atmosphere is the best.“

“One thing to keep in mind about this spot is that the dance floor is a bit small. If they could remove the center tables, it might feel more spacious and comfortable to dance. As it is we often find ourselves bumping into each other because there's not quite enough room to move around and really groove to the music 🎶.“

“The owner is an idiot! He was given a new concept and his arrogance defeated him, and he just doesn’t get it!“
