8 Best Gastropubs near Rancho Cucamonga

“My daughter and I shared a wonderful lunch here at the state. What a fun environment. We parked in the back parking lot behind the building and had easy walk up access to the restaurant. When walking in it so airy, clean and crisp. I love the aesthetic here at the state. I was happy to learn it was taco Tuesday. I ordered one of each. I didn’t quite feel they were worth $3 each but I was paying more for the seating and location which was very enjoyable. My favorite was the fish taco! My daughter ordered the burger and she said it was delicious… she’s quite the burger connoisseur so I believe it was delicious! Our server was very sweet and attentive however I didn’t quite feel service was a little lagged for the small amount of people, however there were two big tables for graduation so maybe that’s why. Overall, a great lunch date spot!“

“Quality food and service.“

“Not only does the atmosphere give allll the vibes, the foods bomb too. Their chicken quesadilla is my favorite….but the banter with the staff is what really keeps me coming back. Casa and Bree keep me laughing and on my toes at the bar and raven and Olivia make me feel well taken care of at the tables!! Great place, highly recommend especially during this football season.“

“We came to celebrate my niece's birthday on 90s/2000s Night, and Punch Bowl Social delivered a fun, memorable night!
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the sweetest hostess at the front. I wish I remembered her name because she deserves a shout-out! She was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our request for a table right next to the DJ. That little gesture made a huge difference and really kicked off the night on the right note.

Our server, Lex, was amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and kept checking on us throughout the night, even with how busy it was. Excellent service like hers is one of the reasons we'll definitely be back.
The DJ was absolutely FIRE! 🔥 We went on 90s/2000s Night, and every song had people singing and dancing. The energy was nonstop, and it was the perfect soundtrack for a birthday celebration.

The food and drinks were exactly what we wanted for a night out. We enjoyed Pineapple Express cocktails, Jack Daniels, Palomas, Mexican Candy shots, Green Tea shots (because... birthday! 😂), Lagunitas drafts, mozzarella sticks, chips with guac and salsa, and chili cheese fries. Everything came out fresh, and the drinks were great.
One thing I thought was really cool was that they did raffle giveaways throughout the night. We actually won a karaoke machine, which was such a fun surprise and made the birthday celebration even more memorable!
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the restrooms. Unfortunately, they were in pretty rough shape. There was toilet paper all over the floor, one toilet was broken, water was leaking from the ceiling, only one soap dispenser had soap, and the whole bathroom smelled like a sewer. It was the only part of the night that didn't match the otherwise great experience.

Overall, Punch Bowl Social is a fantastic spot for birthdays, celebrations, drinks, music, and a fun night out with friends. Great staff, an amazing DJ, fun surprises like raffles, and an atmosphere that keeps the party going. If management gives the restrooms some much-needed attention, this place would easily earn five stars from me.
We'll definitely be back! 🥂🎉🍻“

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.

First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.

The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.

It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!“

“Ashley, Chelsey, Mike, and Kelly are awesome. Great place to be! 🙂👍“

“You can always get a great beverage and meal at The back Abbey.“

“New experience like none other. I also heard there is a speak easy with a cigar lounge? Nearby? A man that works here by the name of Jeffrey can help you find it. Or maybe other friendly staff can point you to its direction. Everyone is welcoming here I love it.
If you’re a local and haven’t been here, stop by and try them out one time. Or if you’re on the way to Vegas and need a drink, a bite to eat, or just someone to talk to. This is the place! Located conveniently before the high desert crowd, you’ll find Cucamonga’s calmer and more up town crowd here. Definitely a must stop destination if you are Route 66 ’n or just unwinding. Hope Ya’ll enjoy and make it to the speak easy 😉“
