“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.“

“Hosted a 40 people surprise party at GameCraft and I have never worked with a better brewery!!

Their small team of 4 were super accommodating to our requests, even though they were busy all day, and the drinks were BOMB (props to the brewmaster).

We were pleasantly surprised that they had a nerd market that day AND karaoke at 7 pm.
Even though we only booked for 3 hours and was planning to barhop after the event, we all stayed until closing cuz it was such a great place to just chill the night away.

BIGGGG SHOUTOUT to Misa, the hostess+bartender (iykyk) for entertaining our karaoke shenanigans!!“

Synth Beer Co. Brewery •
2960 Randolph Av, Costa Mesa - 3.53 miles

“Fun new spot near the airport in Irvine with tasty beer and a great vibe. Tucked back in an industrial area but with a great big outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Inside has a mix of tables couches and bar seating with a fun vibe. Hip music playing throughout. Incredibly friendly staff talk through the beers on tap to help make selections. Taster sized pours mean you can try all of them without feeling guilty. A few seltzers on tap I didn’t try but also a selection of IPAs, IIPAs and pilsners. Brewer has experience from Greek Cheek and excited to see what they have in store. Check it out for sure!“

“They put pop up guys outside without integrity. Too bad the review goes to the brewery, but they have guys who will lie to you to get your money selling outside. Ultimately, that's on them. Skip it if its a smash burger pop up.

EDIT: Added three stars for the response of the brewery. And honestly, pass it on to the smash burger guys, that they're a customer service business, when they slow down because their cook has no experience in restaurants, ask for forgiveness, rather than taking people's money who can't wait around for their food because it took sooooooo much longer than they quoted. These guys were clearly only their to serve themselves, and that's bad business and sadly super common in today's market. They deserve a chance to improve, but they need guidance from the older generation. They wouldn't hear it from me. Put someone on the grill who can have more than one thought at a time for an hour for them, and the kid will get it. Their frontman might be hopeless though. Not sure. A good cook would help his deficiencies though.“

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!“

“Hi. I have been to the brewery before and really enjoyed the beer. However, my last experience was a bit confusing. The reason for the confusion was, I was there on a Thursday and it said your opening time was at one at 1:10 I was told by somebody in the brewery when I knocked on the window that it was three when he held up three fingers I went to call to see why they weren’t open and your voice message said that it opens on noon on Thursday. It would be great. We appreciated to have one time correct and not three because I would really like to come back and enjoy your beer.“

Golden Road Brewing Anaheim Brewery • $$

“Came by this Sunday with a group of 6 after a motorcycle ride for an event, and the place was honestly not busy at all with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Despite all the open space, one of the hostesses gave us a hard time for taking up a table with our gear (helmets, jackets, backpacks). She actually insinuated we were just wasting space and told us if we weren't ordering, we needed to leave—not exactly the right way to start our day.
Thankfully, Natalie stepped in, took over, and made us feel incredibly comfortable. The manager, Erick, also went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of, helping us tuck our gear to the side so it wasn't an issue for anyone.
This was our second time here for the event, and Erick and Natalie totally turned the experience around and made it a blast. Plus, the Pastrami Mami pizza was delicious. Huge thanks to them for saving the day!

I would have left 3-4 stars if it wasn't for Erick and Natalie turning this around. They made us feel welcomed and yes. We spent money and enjoyed our time“
