Bootleggers Brewery Brewery • $

“Refreshing and delicious beer!

We came on a Sunday, and Bootleggers was fantastic! It opens during lunch time has it’s own parking. Given how hard parking it at the Lab during weekend, Bootleggers is awesome!

The menu is huge - there are many salters and light beers. Highly recommend the flight which comes with four small testers. Fruity is my personal fav, so I got the zaddy salters and white peach salted, both are delicious!

Bootleggers also has a good IPAs. The conspiracy is bitter but very refresh! Highly recommend for summer time!

The brewery allows outside food, and we ordered pizza from a nearby pizza joint. The food was delivered to the bootleggers, and we enjoyed the whole experience!

Recommend time to spent - 1.5 hours+.“

Salty Bear Brewing Brewery • $
2948 Randolph Av C, Costa Mesa

“Stopped in on a Wednesday. There are 2 other great breweries in the area which makes it a fun spot to hop around.

Had the light lager, was a little on the butter side, but pretty solid. The bar is pretty cool and modern, had plenty of bar seating and high tops along with a cool little couch as you enter the beer garden.

The beer garden is awesome. Plenty of space, cool lighting, and a stage. Would love to hangout there with some live music. Prices are more than reasonable and the staff is super attentive.

Worth a stop!“

“This has become a go-to spot for awesome beer, great pinball, and even better company. The pinball machines are meticulously maintained and play great, and they run regular pinball tournaments that are super welcoming and beginner-friendly. The owner and staff care deeply about the quality of the beer and the experience their patrons have when they visit, and the regulars are always warm and inviting. I highly recommend a visit if you truly want that Cheers experience where "everybody knows your name." ?“

It is cooked to perfection. I came today after a couple of years, and they have simply not lost their magic touch. The same staff from years ago making the same delicious recipe.

“We held our daughter and son-in-laws “ day after wedding” gathering for friends and family who couldn’t make it on their wedding day in 2021 (because of COVID limitations). We also just held a co-ed baby shower for them just this past weekend there.(2023). You now can reserve an area (for a fee) and get catered platters of food items. This made it so much easier than individual orders. Usually there is a band playing on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff were all nice and great to work with. It was great to have a large outdoor venue for their baby shower.“
