47 Best Beer Bars near Huntington Beach

“Stopped in for a beer and a lobster roll.

I was surprised at how large the building is once you get inside. Very nostalgic with VCRs playing movies from my childhood.

They have a couple beer options but a decent enough variety.

Food was alright.“

“great pizza choices, super ipa's and service.“

“This is one of the greatest pizzas ever. I've tried a lot of pizza in Hb and FV. This had to be the freshest and most unique pizzas ever. They also have great names for the pizzas. I got the Home Alone and Life's a garden, Dig it. Amazing. I will be back for more pizzas. Also, while waiting for my pizza, I tried one of their signature beers. I was also so amazed how great it was, and it was one of the greatest beers ever. It was a great atmosphere, and the customer service was exceptional great. The whole experience was great. I'll be back for more for sure...“

“Lane Stone delivered an unparalleled level of client service that surpassed all expectations. He consistently went above and beyond, dedicating his weekends to showing us houses and remaining patient as we took our time to make decisions. He even proactively contacted agents with homes in escrow to explore the possibility of submitting backup offers. Thanks to his unwavering commitment, we successfully closed on our house during a highly competitive market period. Lane made it his priority to ensure that we felt valued and received his undivided attention throughout the process. The Sackin-Stone team, including Lane, provided outstanding support, with other agents stepping in when needed. Our experience with the Sackin-Stone team was exceptional, and we intend to rely on them for all our real estate needs in Orange County. They have earned a client for life!“

“Arguably the best cocktails in Downtown Santa Ana, Club 616 is the gold standard for DTSA watering holes.

Serving up delicious celebratory poison and pure vibes.

616 provides daily specials, trivia nights, live DJs spinning vinyl, and jazz bands every week.

The drinks are consistently exceptional, but what truly sets this place apart is the staff and security, who are always kind, respectful, and welcoming.

This is a business I’m proud to support. Cheers to you, 616!“

“So happy they finally opened! Always great service! Amazing quality meat and fresh veggies!“

“When you enter, the delicious aroma hits you immediately. It's not the prettiest place but it has a fun atmosphere none the less. Enjoyed the k-pop playing in the background.

The marinated beef bulgogi was delicious. So was the beef belly. Also, they had 2 flavors of thrifty brand ice cream for dessert. That was an unexpected and tasty surprise.

We will definitely be going again. Next time we will bring the whole family (& friends).“

“Food is OK! But portions are big and everything tastes fresh. Salsas were really good but the chips could break your teeth lol. Loved the outdoor dog friendly seating. Servers were really great. Got the Pina Loca and it was alright. Nice vibey spot for dinner by Newport beach.“

“Dining at Tsuruichi Wagyu is an unforgettable experience for anyone who appreciates the artistry and flavor of premium Japanese beef. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by an elegant yet cozy atmosphere that sets the stage for a meal that is both refined and deeply satisfying.

The star of the menu is, without a doubt, the Wagyu beef. Each cut is carefully selected for its marbling and tenderness, and the quality truly shines through in every bite. The A5 Wagyu was nothing short of extraordinary—rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Whether grilled to perfection at your table or prepared in one of the chef’s expertly crafted dishes, the beef here is a masterclass in flavor and texture.

The Wagu experience is highly recommended for those who want to explore the full range of what Tsuruichi Wagyu has to offer. Each course is thoughtfully presented, highlighting the versatility of Wagyu in both traditional and innovative preparations. The pairing of sauces and sides, from the delicate ponzu to the house-made pickles, enhances the meat without overshadowing its natural flavor.

The service at Tsuruichi Wagyu is impeccable. The staff is attentive and well-versed in the nuances of Wagyu, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring that each guest’s preferences are met. The attention to detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the timing of each course, adds to the overall experience, making it feel truly special.

The ambiance is intimate yet sophisticated, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. The combination of luxurious food, exceptional service, and a serene atmosphere makes Tsuruichi Wagyu a standout destination for any Wagyu enthusiast.

Overall, Tsuruichi Wagyu offers a dining experience that is both luxurious and deeply satisfying. It’s a place where every element, from the quality of the ingredients to the elegance of the presentation, is designed to celebrate the art of Wagyu. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in one of Japan’s finest culinary traditions.“

“Great place to relax. Love that it’s walking distance to where we stay. Park right across the street.“

“Stopped here before my gfs departing flight and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the drinks were stiff and reasonably priced, and our bartender (Tucker) was the kindest and most efficient bartender I’ve ever had in my life. From now on, this place will be a mandatory go-to before flying out of SNA.“

“Soooooo good. I can still get in here with no line, however, there will come a time…….when there will be a long wait!“

“The food is good, huge Portion’s . Many different food options to choose from. Cool atmosphere. Very artsy ! It was worth the day trip.“

“You're walking up to it thinking this is a cool place Once you walk in you're like this is a really cool place Walk up to the register and you're greeted Like an old friend And the burgers are wonderful fries are great Honestly just an awesome place“

“Best shrimp tacos with rice and beans in all of SoCal.

Yeah I said it. Go try them if you think I am exaggerating. I have seen lines upon lines of people trying to get a seat at the Bristol location when there are like 1000 other places to get Mexican food in the area. Socal people are picky with their Mexican food and the market has already shown that this is the place.

Just go. Stop reading and eat their rice and beans. They could sell only that and I would still go. Yeah. Ponder that.“

“I had a great experience at Board and Brew in Santa Ana! I tried the Turkey Deluxe Rub sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. The turkey was perfectly seasoned, and the combination of fresh ingredients and the sun flower seeds really made it stand out. It was one of the best turkey sandwiches I've had in a while.
I also couldn’t resist trying their chocolate chip cookie, and it did not disappoint. It was soft, chewy, and had just the right amount of sweetness — a perfect end to the meal.
I would definitely come here if I’m in the mood for a sub again.“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“Service is outstanding! The place is clean including the bathroom. Food is awesome🥰“

“What a fun place to hang out at in the Belmont Shore business district of Long Beach CA. Murphy's Pub @ the Belmont entrance is right next next to the gym and you can grab a beer/wine , watch sports and look down on 2nd Street and people watch.“

“Love this place and I frequent it quite a bit now. Drinks are reasonable price, atmosphere is chill and sporty and bartenders are very attentive and always on point. Beer selection is nice and wide enough that I'm always having a diverse amount drinks from IPAs, blondes or whatever. Even the food is pretty nice. I usually recommend the fries.“

“Cool Newport Beach bar sitting on the beach side. Has been There that I remember from the ’60’s“

“Nicest people! This is our favorite place for many years already!! Best Authentic Thai food!!“

“As someone who always loves to find the speakeasy places in the states, I did have a lot of fun here. I did go on a slow week day and for me that made it more enjoyable with friends. Definitely has a good/fun setup for the speakeasy atmosphere.“

“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.“

“10 out of 10 for me best burger I've ever had so juicy and the Mac and cheese is to die for. They always have great seasonal drinks as a well as a full bar so you can quite literally get whatever you want. Great music and chill vibes not to far off the beach“

“This is a traditional Vietnamese bar & grill place (Quan Nhau). It has a lively atmosphere. Seems to be popular with the older folks compared to other places. Having said that, the service and food are great! Just be ready for the bad, loud karaoke singing and smoking. Not a family hangout.“

“It's just your average bar. During Taco Tuesday they have a food truck come in but the problem is that they don't post prices on the truck itself for some reason. The truck is overpriced and don't really recommend it. The bar itself is decent place with a patio in the back to relax and talk. There is plenty of seating as well.“

“Delicious and Great prices! 😋“

“TV, adult beverages & relaxation“

“It’s okay ! 😎😎😎 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧐🧐🧐🧐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“todo muy rico excelente y el ambiente de lo mejor y más cuando toca el karaoke el Guero Palma awiwi 😂😂😂“

“Great food! The only downside is the loud and ugly ‘Banda’ music, can’t order food or have a conversation without yelling.“
