“**Calico Saloon IPA Review**

Last night, I had the pleasure of enjoying an IPA at Calico Saloon while being serenaded by the Summer Nights band. The evening was a delightful blend of refreshing drinks and lively music.

**The Venue:**
Calico Saloon provided the perfect rustic backdrop, with its old-timey charm and welcoming atmosphere. The warm summer night and the live music created an ambiance that was both relaxing and exhilarating.

**The Beer:**
The IPA I ordered was a highlight of the evening. From the first sip, it was clear that this brew was crafted with care. It had a rich, golden hue and a robust aroma of citrus and pine. The flavor profile was well-balanced, featuring a harmonious blend of hoppy bitterness and subtle malt sweetness. The crisp finish left me eager for the next sip, making it a perfect choice for a warm summer night.

**The Experience:**
Sipping on this IPA while enjoying the energetic performance of the Summer Nights band was an experience to remember. The band's vibrant tunes complemented the beer perfectly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. It was a night filled with great music, excellent company, and a fantastic IPA that I'll definitely be returning for.

If you find yourself at Calico Saloon, don't miss out on trying their IPA. It's a refreshing and flavorful beer that pairs wonderfully with the lively atmosphere and great music. Cheers to many more summer nights like this!

“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!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Great food and wonderful service by our waiter David. Large portions.“

“My and bf always come here when we are in town. We found it one night while in downtown Fullerton because we really wanted Black Bean noodles. We are always trying to find places closer to home that serve the dish and make it as good, but haven’t been successful. The owners and servers are really nice and attentive.“

“house made cheese cake on the house!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Murphy’s is an amazing little hidden and charming gem in Belmont Shore! I was looking for a place to watch the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Semi-Finals recently so I could see my Long Beach State team in action. I found Murphy’s and the “Entertainment Director” was SUPER AWESOME to find this game on tv and make it possible for me to watch! He was a rock star for doing this and everyone there from employees to those hanging out -absolutely the best! Great food, atmosphere, sports, and fun! Thank you so much, Murphy’s!! From your new fan! ⭐⭐⭐“

“If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood vibe, this is the only spot on 2nd st. The bartenders are personable and remember your drink preferences, the food is tasty and freshly prepared, and the setting is diverse and pleasant. Whether it’s a night out with your friends or partner or an afternoon with the kids for an early dinner in burger Mondays, Quinn’s always hits.“

“Finally reopened....!!!Beers are cold, food is pretty good, prices are reasonable. Reminds me of an upgraded family pizza joint.Great place to bring the kids. Lots of video games to keep them entertained.Great place to watch the games. If you want to support your local businesses, this is definitely one is frequent.“

“Great place for German Food and Beer!“

“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.“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“Great spot on base that’s absolutely worth the visit. Getting in is straightforward. Just show your ID at the guard gate and you’re good to go.

Once inside, the vibe at Fiddler’s Green Pub is laid back, friendly, and surprisingly lively for a military base pub. Prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re grabbing a casual lunch or winding down after a long day.

The standout for me was the onion rings: crispy, golden, and seriously addictive. Easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Overall, a fun, welcoming place with good food, good prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming back.“

“good food nice pints. cheers 🍻“

“Great place to eat n drink. and be social...“

“🙂👍 Abel, Leo, and all the employees do a great job!“

“DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! I had lunch here last week and I was thrown at how good the pork belly skewers and honey salmon bowl truly is. The staff is very friendly and attentive. There is plenty of space and TVs to catch a game so you don’t have to be shoulder to shoulder during a big game.

Also!!! I heard trivia Wednesdays start August 12th with Trivia Tycoon.“

“It was an overall great experience. Came to chat with a friend, and was able to, while a great playlist played in the background.

Try the Cauliflower Bites and the fish tacos...very nicely done.

Will definitely be back!“

“Moved from Pomona to Vegas and I miss this place... I'm having a hard time finding another place that rivals it. Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. Their soy garlic wings, full fried chicken, bossam, fire chicken, Korean army stew, the sojuritas... Will be coming back whenever I visit home.“

“Nice little brewery with a good variety of beers. Quiet atmosphere, perfect to enjoy the football, baseball games on their TVs over a point or two.“

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place for a group of guests. The food is especially delicious. There are large rooms and small rooms, so they are perfect for groups. Parking is also not inconvenient. Of course, there is a large hall, so it is good not only for singles but also for couples.(Original)단체손님인 경우에는 최적의 장소이다. 특히 음식이 맛있다. 큰룸과 작은룸이 있어서 그룹으로 가기에 안성맞춤이다. 파킹 또한 불편함이 없다. 물론 넓은 홀이 있어서 혼자서 뿐만 아니라 커플이 가기에도 좋다.“

“Great service! We had a great time considering it was my first time in a bar in a very long time.“

“Coldest beer in town , good looking bar tenders and good food. what's best of all, its in La Habra“

“I stopped by Maggie’s Pub & Banquet Hall and it feels like a classic neighborhood pub with a lot more space than you’d expect. The place is pretty big, with a large bar area and a separate banquet hall that’s often used for parties and events. It has that relaxed, old-school pub vibe where people come to watch sports, grab drinks, and hang out with friends.

The menu is mostly comfort bar food. I tried a fish and chips plate and some wings, and they were solid—simple, satisfying, and perfect with a cold beer. Some popular items here include seafood dishes, sandwiches, and classic pub plates like prime rib or pastrami sandwiches.

One thing that stands out is the venue size. The banquet hall can host large events with hundreds of guests, so the place often holds parties, comedy nights, or special celebrations.

Overall, it’s not a fancy restaurant, but if you’re looking for a casual pub with drinks, live events, and hearty comfort food near Los Angeles, Maggie’s Pub is a fun spot to check out.“

“If you are into dive bars, this is a good one. It's actually really chill inside and the patrons that come here are just looking to have a good time and maybe chat with some cool bikini bartenders.
We usually stop in after a game for some pool and drinks and have always had great service and not too long of a wait for a game of pool. Drinks are average to good prices and the girls are quick with the service.
Solid 5 stars for the atmosphere and service.“

“I enjoyed this place good bartender and a fun and exciting place“

“Just the right pace and the bar tender was beautiful, she treated us like old friends, with a great knowledge of the drinks.“

“Great food and drinks, with a solid selection of both house beers and options from other breweries. The cocktails were refreshing, and the macaroni and cheese absolutely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed more focused on chatting with each other than helping customers, and we even saw employees sampling beer while we were still waiting for our order. Overall, the food and drinks were excellent, but the service needs improvement.“

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

“Never disappoints and love the much needed upgrades the best breakfast spot“
