This place was a little too rich for our blood. It had a very locals only feel to it. The prices were a little high and because it was raining we had to sit inside and there were not a lot of options. I’m sure it’s a great place if you are a local but as we were on vacation it was not the right feel for

I went there on a Saturday at 6:30pm, the establishment closes at 9pm. I asked for food and told that the kitchen was closed. Twenty minutes later, I'm having my beer, a couple arrived and they were served food. Really bad customer service. Even though the beer was really good, I'm not planning to return.

The bartender was very friendly, and the place itself had a nice mellow vibe. But I came for the beer, and the beer is all awful. Unless you really enjoy un-nuanced, one note, hop-forward beer you should avoid this place. Almost exclusively IPAs, and even the ones that weren't still tasted as if they were.

One of my favorite places when I visit the Orange County area. Excellent Beer, with new additions all the time. Great customer service, which is something all other breweries could learn from. Food is really good, with sandwiches, pizza, pretzels and salads. Lunchtime specials.It is located in a shopping center, off the main drag of South OC. Plenty of parking and a large patio, with TV if you’re interested. Enjoy!
Since my last review, I have visited Laguna Beach Brewing another ten times or more. Coming down from NorCal, this is my "go to" spot. The food (which I had not tried during the last review) is great. Pizza is good but the lunch deal during the week is fantastic. There is a large selection of 1/2 sandwiches and chips. I am working my way through the list. So far, all are very tasty . I can not emphasize how important customer service is in any brewery or tap house. These guys have it down. They want you here and they want you back. I just returned from Edinburgh where I visited 17 different pubs and three breweries. Most of Scotland has that same philosophy. NorCal and SoCal do not. It stands out when people like Laguna Beach Brewing Company go out of their way for the customer. If you haven't been here, try it. If you have been, I don't need to tell you what a special place this is.Enjoy!

They have a great beer selection, but the parking lot can be packed and crazy sometimes with cars coming and going. They just rolled out some great lunch specials and have happy hour for their core beers until 6!

Absolutely delicious food, and the beer was excellent too! My wife and I got the margherita flatbread and the big cheddar, and my goodness were both delicious. The big cheddar sandwich especially made my smile, it was awesome. Great service too, the guy working was extremely polite and helpful. Overall, a fantastic little spot that makes great food, great beer and great service.

Came here on a a Saturday around 1:00 for the first time. They have about 8-10 tables and 2 areas with couches for bigger groups. There was only a few groups when we arrived. Beer: Great beer selection, my favorites were the guava and hazy. I got two flights and a pint of the Oktoberfest. Well brewed. Food: Wow! We were impressed with the food. Didn't know what to expect from a brewery. We got the pretzel ( the cheese dip omg) , pepperoni pizza and a special sausage sandwich on a pretzel bun. Everything was delicious and fresh with good flavor. I had the Sandwich and my husband got the pizza. Pizza was so good I kept taking his slices haha. Totally shareable. Service: Friendly staffThey have a few TVs for sports which is one of the reasons we came. Highly recommend will be back!
I had a wonderful first experience here. Mark helped me pick a new beer to try -- Tuava Guava (wheat) and Second Reef (blonde) -- both core beers. I decided on the Second Reef because it's light and tasty and the first was pretty bold on the fruitiness. Caprese Sando is excellently made with a nice balance of all ingredients -- fresh, yummy, and enough to split if you're coming for lunch. $11.99 too. Make sure to check out the merch to the left of the bar. They have really cool T-shirts for $25 and nice snap backs if you're into that. I will be coming back for sure.

I have been going here for a few years and always enjoy the experience. Great beer, excellent pub style grub, nice atmosphere and great friendly staff. For just over a year now been loving the 1st Thursday of month Neighborhood Watch Comedy night hosted by the funny, kind, outgoing Corbin. Always a new group of established or up and coming comedians that leave us stoked we were there. Do yourself a favor and come out for one (or more) of these nights and drop by for a delicious brew anytime!!!

Best beer in town, all brewed in house. Amazing selection ranging from German Pilsner, hazy and west coast IPAs and lighter tropical beers great for this summer weather. Delicious food options as well including hand crafted sandwiches all on Dutch crunch. The wings are a favorite as well, they’re air fried and crisp to perfection.
