“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.“

They had a good variety of styles, and every beer I tried was good. Be sure to give Naughty Sauce a try as it was not at all what I was expecting

Also thank you to the friendly locals who hung out and chatted prior to the game.“

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. Trust me, this is the spot!“

“This place was recommended, i finally made it! Enjoyed a steak taco and a pastor taco. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The salsas were fresh and delicious. These might be the best tacos I’ve had in some time. I tried their Red (and I’ve tried many), it is well worth coming back for, great beer! Their beer and menu choices are worth repeat visits. I have worked in hotel/restaurant in the past so I can tell they have freshness and great flavors here. Bravo!“

Salty Bear Brewing Brewery • $
2948 Randolph Av C, Costa Mesa - 3.52 miles

“Really solid brewery option. Big fan of an option space with high top and regular table options, which they have (in addition obviously to seats at the bar). The bartender was attentive and nice. The beers had a good variety, especially of IPAs, and each of the IPAs we had were pretty tasty. Love that it has such easy parking.

The table we grabbed was also big enough for us to commandeer a board game, which is always appreciated.

This will most likely become part of our rotation for board game/brewery collection.“

Bar seating was easy to get and pleasant. Parking can be a bit meh but there is a mall garage almost immediately outside to resort to instead. Staff super friendly.

The beers were pretty mid but will be back just because of easy of convenience and the vibe.“

They had sports playing on the TV and have a nice selection of drinks and food. My friend and I ordered a couple drinks and popcorn chicken (big chunks) with fries, which were good.

The staff are efficient and check up on you at times, which was great.“

GameCraft Brewing Brewery • $$
23301 Avenida De La Carlota C, Laguna Hills - 7.5 miles

“GameCraft Brewing provides a fun place for game enthusiasts to gather. There was a variety of drink options to choose from - beers, wines, soda, water. There was also bottled drinks like tea in a glass container behind the bar area. The food was decent pub food.

There was plenty of parking. I liked that they had board games and pinball machines available. I had an enjoyable time here. The downsides were that the place was a bit small and hot during the summer with only fans running.

Drinks: I like drinks on the sweeter side. The bartender was nice and let me try different flavors to pick what I like.
* Seltzer - Baja Blast 5/5 - Good sweet drink that didn't feel like I'm drinking alcohol.
* Ube Painkilla 3.5/5 - Pretty drink, light purple. A bit sweet, but had a cough syrup aftertaste.
* Cider drink 4/5 - Kinda like an apple cider drink, but more beer-y.
* Soju Cocktail - Didn't get this. I thought it'd be sweet from the online menu. Apparently it has a ginger and serrano chili pepper taste, so not what I wanted.

FOOD:
* BBQ Wings 4/5 - Juicy and flavorful wings.
* Lemon Pepper Wings 3/5 - Not bad, but kinda dry and really sour.
* Cesar Salad 4/5 - Who orders salad for a game night? Jk. It was actually pretty good. Plenty of dressings and shaved cheese on top.
* Pretzel Bites 3.5/5 - Dense pretzel bread bites with sea salt on top.
* Flatbread 3.5/5 - Flatbread okay. Ours came with shredded pork on top that was kinda dry and had no flavor.
* Fried Wonton 2/5 - Crispy wontons filled with cream cheese. The cream cheese was a bit much to eat.
* Egg Rolls 2/5 - Crispy vegetable egg rolls. Had a bitter aftertaste.“

“We went in after watching an Angel game to have a cold beer. They say us in a booth right next to the kitchen. We were bothered by some pesty gnats flying around our food and table. It was very warm inside the restaurant. Our beers weren't very cold which was a turn off. Cold beer on a hot day... Not. And it seemed as though we didn't have a set server. I wasn't impressed. First visit may be my last.“

“Cool little tap room on right field with craft beer and foods. Close to the outfield sections. Sat in 242 and it was a short walk from me. There's outdoor seating with tables if you prefer to be inside. One thing I don't like about this taproom is if the rear door isn't open, it legitimately becomes a walk to get in, as ushers tend to keep the door open from time to time.“
