We went to Pub 32 on Sunday evening. Walked in and asked if they were still serving food as it was nearly 7:30. The hostess said yes. It took awhile for anyone to check in with us. We placed our order with drinks and water. While waiting for our food, the bartender came out of the kitchen with a paper towel abounds finger. He appeared to have cut himself. He put the bloody paper towel (napkin?) down on bar counter (where the were about 7-8 people at the bar focused on the game. He put in a plastic glove and I thought that it was smart of him. He then proceed to rip the glove off finger by finger u til just the finger that was bleeding had a gloved finger over it. There was no glove really left. He picked up the glove trash and napkin and threw away without wiping down the counter afterwards. It was appalling to me that he did this in front of customers because what is he doing behind in the kitchen?? We received our food. While we were finishing up, a ma walks in through the front door and comes straight to us (we were at a bar height able, in the bar area.) This man didn’t speak English and was trying to get us to give him a ride to his house, is what we were understanding. No one stopped him, the hostess was staring but didn’t interfere. I finally flagged the waitress who realized that we were being bugged by this guy and told him to come speak with someone who spoke Spanish. Meanwhile, the bartender didn’t acknowledge the guy. It was a very strange encounter. I was grossed out by the bleeding and glove situation and double left had I not been with a friend. I’m not sure what happened to the service as it used to be too-notch.

This review is for December 14th. The service was really rude. The receipts do not mention the server's name, but she was short possibly Latin and had short fake red hair. Really rude and unhelpful. She included someone else's drink on my tab without asking me if that was okay. She repeatedly ignored me and did not offer refills. Rude to the point of being offensive.

Met up here with a friend to watch the Lakers game. Great vibe, great food and really friendly service. I had the Smashburger and it was much larger than I expected - that was a bonus.

The musician scene is amazing....Estela was soooo good! That's who brought me here for the first time but I still loved the bar! The food was a great snack (we went late and not for a real meal!).

Pub32 is a real neighborhood gem in South Orange County especially if you're looking for fresh, flavorful dishes at a good price point. Service is very personable and the atmosphere is perfect for formal dining or eating in the lively bar area.

Just moved down to the area and honestly I've been having a hard time finding decent restaurants. This place is fantastic. Seriously good food, fantastic cocktails, great service, and reasonably priced. will definitely be back sooner than later and so should you.

We came to see the band and even with reservations, we were seated in the back. People all around us were talking so loud, and up and down out of their seats with kids that we couldn't hear the band or see them. We left after 3 songs.

We were there for Sunday brunch and music and it was awesome. The scones were great, the champagne flight was awesome and we had several other items on the menu that didn't disappoint. Cannot wait to go back.
I really wanted to like Pub 32 after hearing so many great things, but it just didn’t live up to the hype. The service was good, but the food was mediocre at best and the atmosphere was completely lacking. We tried the popular $5 patio deal, but the experience was far from enjoyable — the sun was in our eyes and the umbrellas wouldn’t adjust, making it uncomfortable to even sit there. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to finish my meal and leave.
The other party mentioned that the French fries tasted like the frozen kind, just dumped in a deep fryer to heat up. And the coffee martini? Definitely not worth the price — it was the most expensive one I’ve ever had and had very little alcohol.
Overall, not worth a second try. I’m honestly surprised by all the 4- and 5-star reviews because our experience was just average — nothing special at all.

Went here with friends during a brunch, Food was good, service was a little slow although they were packed when we walked in, ambience was fun and outgoing, they had an open bar by the dinning area with tv playing. I’d say good for getting a bite and drinks with buddies or partner, we had a good experience here and will be planning another brunch date with the girls

Great little Irish pub located off a main roadway. The service was friendly, they offered a good happy hour food and beer special. Definitely worth a visit!
