Relentless Brewing and Spirits

Brunch at Relentless Brewing was a great surprise, and a big part of that was our bartender, Michael. He was genuinely warm, super attentive, and made one of the smoothest, most balanced Bloody Marys I’ve had in a long time, savory without being overpowering, and rounded in all the right ways.

We ordered the Korean soufflé eggs, and they really delivered. The eggs were impossibly fluffy, floating in a deeply nuanced broth with just the right amount of warmth, and the house-made kimchi had a bright, tangy bite that cut through everything perfectly.

The breakfast burrito was another standout, rich and savory, with a sauce that tied the whole thing together.

Solid food, thoughtful flavors, and great service. We are regulars for a reason.

If you haven’t been to a food and cocktail first taphouse from a brewery let this be your first, or maybe only. They have beers they brew but they also have beers from others. Amazing cocktails handcrafted by the bartenders with regular new recipes. And the food is simply incredible. Nothing is bad. Quality and very well thought out, far from just bar food. Check it out. If you live near, it’s a great staple, if you live far, it’s worth the drive.

Cool place with a good happy hour. Inside is bright, modern, and stylish. There's a good amount of seating with an additional seating area upstairs. TVs over the bar to watch a game. Happy hour Mon-Tues 5-7, Wed-Fri 2-5. There's some good deals like $6 beers and $12 cocktails with a few food specials.

Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.

Went to brunch with friends. Loved the Mango Habanero wings — very crispy & flavorful. Good specials for Sundays.

I hate writing this review because I truly wanted Relentless to be one of my favorite local spots. I live nearby and made a real effort to support this business. I even spoke with the owner about possibly hosting my rehearsal dinner here, that is how much I wanted to love this place. But after giving them more chances than I have ever given any restaurant, I finally have to walk away.
The food and drinks can be good, but the service has left me feeling unappreciated and dismissed time and time again. At first, I tried to be understanding when told they were “short staffed.” But when every visit brings the same excuses, the same rudeness, and the same lack of care, it becomes clear that this is not just a staffing issue. It is how the business is run.
Some of my experiences:
I was once told a cocktail could take an hour. It came in 20 minutes, but the fries I ordered did not arrive for 1.5 hours. I watched other tables get fries without any delay while mine were ignored.
I brought colleagues after a work event to show them a fun local restaurant, and I was embarrassed. Influencers who walked in after us were served their meals an hour earlier, and when my team asked about mimosas, the waitress rolled her eyes and snapped, “This is not that kind of place.” One of our meals never came at all.
Most recently, after back surgery, I asked to swap out a barstool without a back for one with a back so I could sit comfortably. The request was denied with the excuse that half an inch of chair space would “be in the way.” For a restaurant that does not even appear ADA compliant, that was not just dismissive, it was insulting.
I do not write this lightly. I gave Relentless more chances than I would ever normally give. I wanted to believe it could improve. Instead, I left disappointed again and again.
If you are looking for a place where you feel valued as a guest, where your time and comfort matter, Relentless is not it. There are many other restaurants in the community that will serve you with respect, kindness, and efficiency. I wish my story here was different, but it is not. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that truly appreciates your business.

Wow their beer selection is just spot on! The servers are absolutely amazing! Make reservations if you prefer a table, but they’ll let you in as a walk in. The Asian wings are super sweet , if you prefer spicy get the mango habanero wings. Must visit!

If you are closed for a private party but your website states you are. open until until midnight you deserve a bad rating. You may have had notices elsewhere but not on your website.

Great food and drinks! I would have given five stars, but we were asked to leave at 9:50 PM, even though the posted closing time is 10 PM. Most places allow guests to finish up if they’re still chatting — especially after ordering food and drinks.

@Relentless, I’d recommend honoring your posted hours for future guests.

That said, I definitely recommend the Lost in the Tropics sour ale — super unique and delicious — and the Chicken Adobo was excellent too!

Great dude behind the bar. Great drinks. Good spot. Unfortunately didn't get to try the food but will next time. Definitely recommend.

First of all they need to pick a lane at what their theme is. Is it modern, is it Polynesian, is it a brewery? We were out of towners and when we went there they said are you here for trivia night? We said no. He said I can’t sit down here because we’re really busy for trivia night. He led us upstairs and said you can have any table against the wall. The rest will be for trivia because we’re busy. We got that you’ll be very busy. We were up there alone. I felt like a child on time out. We both had a side salad which had a couple of carrots, and arugula and super salty soy sauce dressing. My husband had the crusted ahi tuna he said it was okay. I had the club sandwich. It was a single layer of greasy buttered bread with a strip of greasy bacon and piece of avocado with one piece of a burnt chicken thigh when I say burnt that was an understatement it was so burnt I bit into it it was like tough grizzle. I was grossed out! I asked for pepper and the poor guy that gave us our plates handed me two paper peppers like you get in a to go sandwich shop and that’s all they had. The server was so sweet. She even looked at and said that’s not good. I will take that off. I felt bad for her because she was running up and down the stairs and told no that’s fine. She did anyway. Only good thing about that place was the server. Sorry I didn’t get her name. Btw, the beer was very good. Go for the beer not for the food.

After a couple of visits to Relentless, we decided to have a private party there. Oh my gosh!! From the planning stages to the day of, Doris took care & handled all my requests. On the day of, the assistant manager Bri took care of our party, taking orders, bringing us food, drinks, cocktails. Everything! At first, I was a little worried because Bri was the only one designated to our party, but; oh my goodness, she was so on top of it all. This 1 lady was the equivalent of 5 employees! I can't believe how quick she was to anticipate and attend to our needs. She was so attentive, I was thoroughly impressed.

The food was incredible. We had the bao bun tacos, roasted garlic hummus, tuna tartare, Impossible lumpia, chicken adobo, Gochugang pork belly, Kimchi fried rice, pad Thai Brussel sprouts, Garlic noodles. Everyone commented on how good the food was. Not going to lie, I under-ordered because mid party we had to order seconds of everything. So I was not only impressed with the food, but with how they were able to accommodate the second orders on the fly. For cocktails, we limited the menu to 4 different cocktails for our party, so we went with the Blood Orange Spitz, Ikiru, Metropolis, Paper Moon. We did an open bar, and maybe that wasn't the best idea for me for such a large party, because everyone had to try each of the drinks at least once, then proceeded to order more.

I seriously cannot recommend this place enough, not just for private parties, but for brunch, lunch and dinner. Thank you so much Doris and Bri for making it such a special evening for us. 100% would recommend over and over again!

Relentless Brewing’s main location is way down south in Temecula, but the Highland Park taproom is awesome! Perfect spot for Sunday brunch, after work drinks, or weekend fun. The Korean BBQ Bao Bun tacos are great!
