Left Coast Brewing Distillery Smokehouse

Great beer and good food!!!

Fantastic beer and food.

I really enjoyed the trestles IPA, and tried to burnt ends which way fantastic not overly grizzly sweet with a little spice at the end.

it's a fun somewhat loud atmosphere, a few video games to keep the kids entertained while we drink our beer, oh they also have a full cocktail menu too.

Beer and ambience is great; I liked the music and outside sitting area! Choices of beer was good. Food was quite disappointing - onion rings were fine; slider - okayish and corn dogs underwhelming. Honey drizzled on it was not to my liking - but be prepared for that.

We stopped by this brewery to kill a bit of time and grab a quick snack—not expecting much, just something casual. With so many microbreweries popping up, we were curious to see what this one had to offer. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. What really stood out was the food menu—way more than typical bar snacks. Their BBQ caught our eye, and we’re already planning to come back just to try it.

I’m not much of a beer drinker, so my wife sampled a flight of their craft brews while I went with their house-made seltzer. To our surprise, everything we tried was genuinely delicious. The staff was friendly and upbeat, even during a bit of a rush. They handled the crowd efficiently, and the positive energy never dipped.

One thing I found especially interesting was that they distill their own hard liquor on-site, so cocktails are also an option—a nice bonus. Plus, they’re dog-friendly, which earns extra points in our book. This place has a laid-back vibe, great drinks, and solid food. Whether you’re a beer lover or not, it’s a spot worth checking out—and we’ll definitely be back.

Worst trivia night, couldn't wait to get away from the announcer with the worst voice ever fast enought. Avoid wednsday noghts at all cost.

Great beer, good food, Very pleasant staff. Always happy to come here.

Good food, beer, and service

Update.
Decent beer, nice setting (still in a crappy strip mall), good service, HORRIBLE food - almost like they are not even trying...too bad

Solid spot to grab a drink and relax!

On Friday March 28, 2025. A party of six of us waited an hour for food. Staff told us door dash orders delayed our food. How about prioritize your in-store patrons over door dash? Been coming here for years and this was just the worst. Tried to sort it out with the manager, he refused to offer any discount, we are done with this place!

Food is Fantastic; however, do go for lunch. I waited an hour for a Brisket to go today. I did see some catering orders go out at the time I think was reasonable for my order to come out. Be ready to wait if there is catering or large groups ahead of you.

You better come at least two hours in advance because the kitchen is incredibly slow. The food was slightly above mediocre, but at least the beers were cold.

The food and beer are just okay. But you won't find anything like this in Irvine. It can get very busy depending on what events are going on that day. Check their calendar. I'll keep coming back when I don't want to drive to green cheek or bootleggers. The staff is nice. They do have live music some days but I haven't checked it out.

Horrible system, got in line at 9:38pm literally took 25 minutes to get to the counter. I reached the counter at 10:00-10:02pm and tried to order food and was told I could not order food because it was past 10pm. Even though I had been in line for 25 minutes looking at the menu and picking what we were going to order! No announcement or signs in place. You guys need to do better, you lost our business.

Beer and drinks were delicious on opening night and the staff was friendly service was fast. I decided to come back after couple days later to try the food in the afternoon...the food was served cold and disappointing. I thought since I liked their beer I'll come back another night with friends for the cocktails we had loved on opening night. We were all extremely disappointed because we ordered the same cocktails thinking it was a safe bet...cocktails tasted so awful, didn't even have the same presentation as they did the opening night. Customer service was super slow even though it wasn't even busy for a Saturday night. Even though I live down the street I won't be coming back here after giving this place several opportunities.
