“Awesome pub on campus. Great bar food such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, nachos etc.. great kombucha beer options on tap as well as ciders.. also huge beer selection as well.
Great place to get together with friends or have some food and study. Bartenders are really nice.“

“Great Food, AWESOME fans, 49er Bar 🏈, woo hoo. Super Staff“

“A good spot for a casual meet up for drinks and to play pool. Can spend hours here as other locals are friendly, bar staff all pleasant and good music on the jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced and we definitely spend more on pool than drinking“

“I haven’t visited Mutt Lynch’s since the mid 90’s. I spent many days / nights shooting pool , listening to the Jukebox and drinking cold beers. It was so great to visit this month and meet great people and relive great memories. Thanks to Ross & Sara (h)and Victor for your kindness and helping me to feel at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make memories and have a Great Time. I’ll be Back.“

“Great outdoor Funktions, chillin with some fresh air. 🍺 the staff is always great, food is amazing. Friday nights live dj nicknik and dj mark.“

“We went here yesterday with our team, and everything was fantastic! The restaurant has its own brewery with big tanks where they brew their beers, and the IPAs were excellent.

Our server, Gil, was super nice and helpful. He arranged a long table for our whole group so we could sit comfortably and hang out. He also gave us great recommendations , I tried the Ginger Salmon with rice and quinoa, and it was very tasty, healthy, and perfectly cooked. For appetizers, I ordered the Ahi Tuna with tortillas, which I really enjoyed since I’m trying to eat healthy. We also tried a few other appetizers that everyone liked.

My co-workers had a mix of burgers and sandwiches, and everyone said their food was delicious. They don’t serve vodka (only beer and wine), but they were kind enough to bring me hot water with lemon since I asked for tea.

After dinner, we sat outside on the patio by the fireplace, enjoying the sunset and the beautiful sky , such a relaxing way to end the evening. Parking was easy too, with spots in front of the restaurant and plenty more in the nearby shopping center.

Overall, a great experience with amazing food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend it! 🍽🍻“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“This place is our favorite for their clam & seafood chowders...depending on the availability of the seafood. Both are exceptional and well worth the trip, just for that...Friday and Saturdays only. Not always available. I never order from the menu and always enjoy ordering from the specials board. The chefs are the stars here and have us coming back weekly! Not to mention the bar is tagged with the line...heaviest pour on the shore!“

“We visited on a Sunday night and this was the most fun we had on our vacation. The karaoke atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming— as an introvert I felt like I was at home with my besties. This is the greatest place in the Irvine area — if I could give 10 stars out of 5, I would!“

“A wonderful little bar, with some great owners and bartenders. Came in here for a meetup event, and ended up having a great time thanks to the staff. They have an outdoor seating area as well as the inside with tables and booths. The bartenders were very fun and took care of me towards the end when I needed to get some sobering up, so I can easily say I'll be coming back here to support these guys.

There was some love music when I arrived too, so that's also a plus if you want some entertainment with your drinking. I didn't have any food while I was here, but I'll be sure to grab some next time I'm here and update my review. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't. Cheers!“

“Great craft brewery 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Attached to a place called the anti-mall ( never knew) with shops, restaurants, stuff..great pre-flight choice for a flight 😂😅😉“

“Great time! Bartender Trish and Security Chemo make it a great time. I’d be back just for them 😜“

“Coconut shrimp - so good!“

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

“I won't get tired of thanking Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael for what he did for me, you take people's problem as your problem, thank you for making much money for me. If others would learn from you then this world would be a better place. Please if you want a genuine account manager who can genuinely trade for you and make lots of money for you then contact Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael“

“This is a good place to bring someone who is new to the area. I feel that if you live near this restaurant, as I do, that there are other places that are better for tacos, honestly. That being said, their presentation and food is very good,“

“I wasn't impressed. The food was just so so and kinda bland. So disappointed in the cornbread. I live in the south so maybe its a southern thing to have amazing cornbread with bbq. This is all subject to my own opinion of course. Everyone has different taste buds and someone else could have totally enjoyed it. Ithis placr just wasn't for me..

The best thing was the service and the cocktails.“

“We came in an hour or so after they opened on a Friday and there was only one other table occupied.

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the spicy cajun edemame, crispy pork, and tom yum seafood fried rice. All three dishes were wonderfully prepared! Great job to the chefs!

The only thing lacking was the service, but the staff was young, but I would venture to guess that they will learn and the service will get better in time.

We will definitely be returning soon and recommend giving them a try!“

“Dirty martini + Beer chaser + Yeager Bomb + Beer chaser, and that’s all I need to rate it a 5 star !!!“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“Delicious beer and amazing staff!“
