“Beers were great. I really like the setup of this place - there are several distinct areas so you have options for seating/vibe. Free wifi (had a beer while getting some work done). They had a pop up wood fired pizza shop that was excellent - I missed the exact name - Il Pia[xxxxx]? They had live music too. Would come back for sure“
“I'm really not a huge fan of beer, but I am a huge fan of breweries ;) Not sure why it took me so long to find this place, but it's definitely a great place to go when you want to hang, drink, and eat with your friends!We asked the man in the front for any recommendations that's sweet. He suggested, so I got the What The Huck (Huckleberry Cream Ale). It was pretty bearable for my boyfriend and I, and I actually came to like it (only a little). It was sweet and the aftertaste wasn't like a bitterness I'm used to having. There's an indoor seating area and an outdoor patio with seating. Wasn't hectic the day I went so it's perfect if you needed a place to hang out. I'd have to come back to switch it up from my usual Brewery X.“
“I cam across this brewery completely by accident. It's perfectly tucked away in Costa mesa. When I came they had a folk music band playing that were absolutely incredible. The vibes here are immaculate. The beer selection is small but quality brews. They also have food vendors that change throughout the week. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone visiting/living in the OC.“
“Karl Strauss is 5 stars I don’t care who you are! 3 of us had dinner and drinks. Blackened Tuna tacos are big and tasty. The pub burger was a good burger. The food truck burger also good. Mac and cheese a treat. However the boneless sweet Chile garlic wing stole the show.For drinks we had the Poseidon stout - awesome smooth stout!“
“Great brewery with some of the best IPAs I’ve had in OC. I stopped on the way to John Wayne airport last night and wish I would have carved out more time to enjoy this place. Loved the 4 beers I enjoyed in my flight and the atmosphere in the very bustling venue. Will be here again next time in the area.“
“Chill casual environment. I love that you can get flights with 2 oz pours. I love to try different brews. The tropical IPA was my top favorite. The lime ginger seltzer was very interesting and perhaps in another time, I would've gotten a larger pour of it. It's not typical to see tastes that are this small and cheap.“
“I’ve been here more times than I can count but if you’re looking for amazing wings, amazing pizza, and amazing beer all at one spot, Riip Beer & Pizzeria is the spot. They have thin crust and Detroit style pan pizza and it’s always been fantastic!“
“Came here on a Saturday to watch football with a few beer. The crowd here is very chill, and the service was fantastic!If you cannot decide what to get, start with a flight (4 beers and around $14 with taxes and tips). My fav is the fruit punch. It is definitely on the sweeter side, but very flavorful! Also recommend the boysenberry one, if you enjoy a hint of berries in your beer.I didnt try the food but the menu looks great! Will try the burgers next time.“
“tacos dorados very good. spicy green salsa. enjoyed ensenada fish and also shrimp taco as well. taco governador was terrible. not griddled enough, cheese not melted. very very sad version of this type of taco that i usually love. they were getting pretty overwhelmed and confused with the orders even though it wasn't super crowded. food took a long time.“
“I don’t drink often but Marc seems to understand my palette better than myself and recommends me the perfect beverage every time. The atmosphere is a breath of fresh air the moment you walk in, if you’re looking for a good time AND a long time all at once, bring yourself here alone or with a group of friends!“
“Always my go to spot for lunch while at work, always consistent food and quality as well. As authentic as you can get, rich salsas, flavorful proteins and delicious sides as well. Definitely worth checking out if your are going to the beach or in the area, you won’t regret it.“
“A coworker and I stopped in for lunch on a Friday. We were promptly seated at a cute table by the window so it was nice people watch. We both ordered the lunch special which was half a pizza and salad for the great price of $12. Everything tasted amazing and we also shared a bottle of your French Rose. From beginning to end this has by far a very nice lunch with great ambiance and great service. We will definitely be back soon.“
“Phenomenal, locally owned craft brewery in Santa Ana! The handcrafted beers are extraordinary, and all guests are welcomed by the brewmaster/owner's pop! Their Agua del Rio lager is on tap year-round, everything else rotates. They pair up with wonderful local catering trucks so you won't go hungry! Kaya's Kitchen served up a mean cheese steak and pastrami!“
“Yay for a Four Sons tasting room right on Main St in Huntington Beach!! Went to main this past weekend and stumbled upon Four Sons, which is nicely located on a corner a few blocks from the beach. They have an inviting patio area and it was pretty crowded. We had to try since it was somewhere new! I've had Four Sons before and enjoyed their beer so I was excited to try out this location. They have a variety of different types of beers, I tried 2 of the IPAs, the peach one and the one with the word "pier" in it, I forgot the actual name. Both were good IPAs! I liked the peach one since it was still nice and hoppy with a slight peach flavor to it. Someone I was with tried the boysenberry seltzer, which was refreshing. We didn't order food, but they do have a small menu, stadium nachos (chips with a side of cheese and jalapeños) and a giant pretzel. If we were hungry then I wanted to try the pretzel but we only got drinks. Hopefully I'll get to try it next time!“
“A smallish space, it's not what you when you think OC breweries with their big outdoor spaces. However, within the intimacy of the brewery there's some great brews! They work with other breweries and also have their own creations brewed offsite. It's a very chill place to relax with a beer, some games, and something exciting in their tv“
“Parking: Lots of parking with plenty of handicap parkingAlso has a parking spot with a charging port for electric vehiclesKid-friendliness: Large picnic area outside kids can pretty much be themselvesAlso has a game area with a giant connect fourWheelchair accessibility: Large open area easily accessible to ordering windows picnic tables restrooms with large entry ways“
“Service was great and food was delicious. Super small shop, they do have an eating area. Their menu is very short with no pricing, but if you want something specific, just ask, im sure they'll make it! I ordered a plate of birria and ate in the restaurant and it was delicious! The tortillas are hand made and soooo yummy! It was a bit pricey, but I guess you pay what you get. $19.00 for deliciousness and of course I couldn't finish the whole plate. It pretty much fed two of us as I gave the left overs to my mom for the next morning.“
“We stopped here with our dogs after a day at the beach. Pretty good food and beer! We had the fish tacos and the fish and chips. Both were solid. The patio was perfect to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the server helped us immediately. Bartender was cool too. Try this spot!“
“For a taproom with great beers, they make amazing margaritas and offer excellent mezcal. Their food is fresh, healthy and authentic. I stopped by for lunch on Saturday and was seated immediately. I love this place and will be stopping by at my next visit to Newport.“

“Great spot in Rodeo39, perfect to grab a beer and have it with your meal from one of the many different vendors there. Bartenders are down-to-earth and sweet. Think beer is decent- nothing that blows my mind, but solid.They have happy hour (?4-6pm) with 4 choices or so on rotation, $2 off for a pint.4 stars for location and convenience. Would not go out of my way unless I wanted the Rodeo39 vibe and flexibility“
“Enter through the pizza place. This brewery is inside the pizza place. Came here early afternoon with a large group that wanted to get beer. There was a lot of room and plenty of parking in the plaza. Cheese bread was delicious. 9-yard pizza was super delicious with lots of ingredients. The ingredients falls off the pizza but its easy to gather and eat it. Service was great and employees seemed happy to have us there.“
“This place is so fantastic!!!!! I'm a band director and needed a good, chill place with great food and drink.... Congregation Santa Ana hit the spot.Pork belly tacos.... Ate up in 5 min... So delicious.Mango habanero wings.... So tasty.Beers and drinks!!!!! AmazingDefinitely coming back“
“My experience at the restaurant on Super Bowl night was nothing short of extraordinary, largely due to our server, Brandon. From the moment we were seated, Brandon made us feel like VIPs. Despite the bustling atmosphere and the high stakes of the game, his attention to detail was impeccable.Brandon had an innate ability to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. He recommended the sunday specials which were a culinary delight, suggesting dishes that catered perfectly to our diverse tastes. His knowledge of the menu and the beer/wine pairings was impressive, elevating our dining experience to a new level.What truly set Brandon apart was his genuine enthusiasm and passion. He managed to balance professional service with personal touches, making us feel exceptionally welcomed. While also being able to throw in some light-hearted banter about the game, making the evening more enjoyable. Despite the busy night, he never missed a beat - our glasses were always full, and each course was served with perfect timing.The restaurant was packed, and the energy was electric, but Brandon's professionalism and charismatic personality shone through. He went above and beyond to ensure that our night was special, contributing significantly to the memorable atmosphere.Brandon was not just a server; he was a maestro of the evening, orchestrating an unforgettable dining experience during one of the busiest nights of the year. His dedication, skill, and warmth truly made our Super Bowl celebration amazing. I cannot commend him enough and look forward to returning to the restaurant, hoping to be greeted by Brandon's exceptional service once again. A five-star review doesn't do justice to the quality of service and the memorable experience provided by Brandon. He is a true asset to the restaurant, and anyone lucky enough to be served by him is in for a treat!“
“Now that we have a little one, I'm always looking for family-friendly places to hang out with friends. Hangar 24 is great in that it caters to everyone... My husband can get some craft beers, I can have my appetizers and snacks, and our little one can roam around! This place has a great selection of different types of beer. I really like trying their seasonal ones! Their flatbreads and burgers are my favorite things to snack on. My favorite thing about this place is the outdoor seating. Our little one can run around with her friends and is not bound to her high chair. Everyone always leaves full and happy!“
“We absolutely love this place. Always have a great time, everyone seems like family, especially the 4 legged family members! Both Brian’s, Hector & the rest of the staff are super friendly and very welcoming. Food trucks are amazing, merchandise is great quality, beer is top notch! Something on tap for everyone. Our usual weekend hangout and it never disappoints.“
