About Anthill Pub & Grille

Anthill Pub & Grille is a popular spot located on the UCI campus, known for its great bar food and extensive beer selection. The pub holds many memories for students and faculty alike, making it a favorite place to gather with friends or study. The menu features items such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, and nachos. They also offer unique kombucha beer options, a large variety of ciders, and draft beers. Prices are reasonable, although there is a $4 per hour parking fee in the nearby garage.

The pub is well-loved for its happy hour, which runs from 4pm-7pm on weekdays, although it is closed on weekends. During happy hour, beers are $8.17, and they have a rotating selection of taps, including the hard-to-find Pliny the Elder. Parking in the garage costs $4 per hour.

Recent visitors note that the food and drink options are good but a bit pricey for the quality. The pub can be a bit empty during happy hour, so the atmosphere is nice but not lively. Others mention that the pub has remained unchanged over the years and that the rotating beers on tap have improved, offering a good variety. There are a couple of TVs playing all the sports, making it a great place to catch a game. The bartenders are described as really nice, and the pub remains a beloved staple of the UCI community. It is a great place to enjoy some bar food and drinks, whether with friends or while studying. Those under 21 can purchase food but are not allowed to buy alcohol.
