Gastropubs near Irvine

“The staff is great, attentive. Food was delicious. Not a ton of seating so keep that in mind when deciding what time to go. Price is not cheap considering the quantity of food, but the quality was on point.

The speak easy is a cool idea, has a camp site vibe to it. Super small, a bit shoulder to shoulder“

“This is a beer and wine bar located inside Whole Foods. The have a varied draft beer selection including Allagash White and Kirin. The server I believe also works for Whole Foods so it was rare that I saw them behind the counter. Overall, it's okay to grab a drink here if you're already grabbing food at Whole Foods anyway, but not a place you could "regular" at.“

“Amazing experience. Prime rib was tender. Sides were great. Drinks were delicious and refreshing. 5 stars. Will definitely be adding to my favorites.“

“Food was absolutely delicious“

“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“

“Excellent experience. This place v is beautifully designed. Exquisite drinks with really funny names. I'm a bit boring and stuck to water, but my husband had the slim thik. By the way, it's a gin drink, and I detest gin. However, I did take a small sip, and it was truly tasted amazing.
To start, the skillet cornbread was ordered and devoured. Then, our dinner options included beet salad with salmon. My husband, mac n cheese, we also had the risotto aranchi (sp). All the dishes were crafted perfectly and tasted amazing. Bring an appetite when you go! I wasn't super famished but I know good food when I eat it. We'll be back with friends for sure!
I know there is something they could improve on, and I'm not sure what right now. That's why only 4 stars! Everyone can always improve!“

“NICE LUNCH ! My wife and I hit this Whole Foods Market in Newport Beach on Saturday morning for most of our weekly grocery needs. It was pouring down rain when we arrived and when we left....thankfully the Fashion Island huge multi level parking garage is straight across the street. After taking care of our grocery needs we headed to the tavern ( opens at midday ) at the rear of this store. We've had lunch here a few times and it's all been good. We parked our full shopping cart beside a table and I fetched a menu from the bar counter. Juana the manager / server / bartender said hi. I asked for a couple of iced waters. My wife selected the TTLA Sandwich ( Tempeh bacon, garlic aioli, green leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado, toasted ciabatta, side salad or fries ) with Fries option and I decided on the Pulled Pork Sandwich ( BBQ pulled pork, BBQ sauce, cabbage, ranch, pickles, toasted brioche bun, side salad or fries ) with Fries option. My Pulled Pork Sandwich & thick cut Fries came out within a few minutes but my wife was left wondering about her order. A minute or 2 later Juana came to our table and said the kitchen was out of Tempeh Bacon ( bacon made from fermented soy beans ) . WHAT'S THAT ? Not being vegetarians we had no idea that Tempeh Bacon was a fake bacon. GIVE US THE REAL THING ! Juana said they can substitute regular bacon for the fake stuff. Eventually my wife's BTLA Sandwich with thick cut Fries was brought out by Juana. NO PROB ! I think the lunch menu should be clearer when describing the ingredients...in particular the Tempeh Bacon. We were both pretty happy with our lunch....I did mention to Juana they should go easier on the BBQ sauce. GOOD SPOT !“

“This is, without a doubt, the best BBQ spot in Tustin. The incredibly friendly staff is a bonus, but let’s be honest—people come here for the food, and the food is AMAZING. I had the brisket and Tri-tip sandwich, and it was fantastic. You won’t be disappointed if you eat here!“

“Social in Costa Mesa has been a must-visit for us on every trip to SoCal since 2018, and it never disappoints. We were sad to see the Huntington location close, but the Costa Mesa spot still delivers an incredible experience. Gabriel took amazing care of us during our visit—his service was attentive and made the night extra special. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was fantastic as always. Social continues to be a highlight of our trips, and we can’t recommend it enough!“

“If you can get here this is a fun place for pre drinks at the stadium. Getting there took a bit of work. You need Club view tickets or take the elevator. But the elevator is for disabled people so after about 9 elevators passed us by we got to our table. I love the ordering system with the QR code. Everything came in a timely manner. Nachos and beer was perfect!“
