“I am a long time Brewhouse customer and there's a reason. They have a great selection and a great atmosphere. The staff are very accommodating, reasonable, and friendly. The owners are very cool people. There's also live music, trivia night, food events, and other cool stuff from time to time. Great place, I can't recommend it enough.“

BBQ Meats

“Ordered an assortment of bbq for a family meal — 1 lb of Tri tip, pulled pork, whole chicken, bbq beans, potato salad, coke slaw and bbq sauce. Their ordering system said to pull up at 11 and staff would bring it out but they hadn’t even started our order at 11 and we had to lug the food ourselves. (So much for the tip I included). Food was succulent and moist with an intense Smokey flavor. Good tasting but very pricey“

Docent Brewing Brewery • $$
33049 Calle Aviador Suite C, San Juan Capistrano

“This brewery is a hidden gem. Very cool spot to grab some beer and food. This is the main Brewhouse for this company. They also have another satellite tasting room/brewpub. The atmosphere for this place is excellent, especially for being in a business park. They have a huge selection of beer on tap. Really a style of beer for everyone. There is plenty of comfortable seating to choose from. The staff was really helpful with choosing beer fro. Their massive list.If you enjoy the brewery feel, this place is definitely for you. Bring a jacket if it's cold. There is upstairs seating, lounge seating, bar top seating, and outdoor seating. On the back side of the building parking can be tight and sparse. However there is plenty of parking on the front side of the building and on the street just a short walk away. There is really only this brewery in this industrial complex, so it's a good things that they have a good size menu of food to choose from.It seems very family friendly, big picnic benches to accommodate large parties of people. They also do quarter poor, so if you are a tasting enthusiast, you can try all. Of their beers without spending a fortune. Restrooms for customers, spacious facility. Very well maintained place.“

Los Molinos Beer Co Brewery • $$
151 Calle de Los Molinos, San Clemente - 5.21 miles

“We visited this cute little brewery on a Saturday afternoon. We had a delicious hazy from a different brewery. We also ordered a breakfast burrito that was so good, we both agreed set the bar on what a breakfast burrito should be like! We left buying some of their IPAs to go, which didn't last long! In all, a great spot especially if you are heading down between LA and San Diego and need a place to stop and have an enjoyable beer.“

Webb's | Distillery & Brewery Brewery •
7 Journey, Aliso Viejo - 6 miles

“Really enjoyed my experience at Webb's. My friends and I sat at the bar. Very cool vibe inside. Super friendly fun staff and they gave great guidance on their drink menu. They serve their own brand of beers and liquors. While not on the menu they do have one white and one red wine available. We ordered the goat cheese wontons, the whipped feta, and the shrimp hushpuppies. All 3 were great. We each ordered a different type of beer, each enjoyed our choice. The espresso martini was excellent. I did order a vodka soda and I did not enjoy it, but they were great about taking it and replacing it. It wasn't insanely busy and yet parking was a little challenging. I can't imagine what that's like when they are super busy. I also think it's a miss not to have any descriptors of their available beers but of course they are willing to give you a taste of whatever you want. Will definitely be back!“

Docent Brewing Brewery •
123 Avenida Del Mar, San Clemente - 5.92 miles

“Chill space, with some street side seating, a handful of bar seats, and open air vibe in chill beach town. The beer is flat out top rate and has won many awards. Staff very personable and the roasted chicken salad sandwich with cucumber salad was spot on flavor wise and a healthy portion size.“

Lost Winds Brewing Company Brewery • $
924 Calle Negocio Ste C, San Clemente - 4.73 miles

“Awesome use of the space with the upstairs loft and video games. During our visit, there was a slight smell of maple and it was wonderful. The selection of beer was impressive. The only thing I would have preferred would have been an option for wine, as I am not much of a beer or soda drinker. Being able to see all the silos was interesting. The place was clean and the gentleman manning the bar was kind and attentive.“

Artifex Brewing Company Brewery • $$
919 Calle Amanecer Suite A, San Clemente - 4.91 miles

“Fantastic! My review is a little delayed but during our visit, the brewery had a food truck and a small boutique market in the back part of the parking lot. The food truck had amazing food and the retail stalls were awesome. I tried one of the sour beers, it was good but I am not much of a beer drinker. The husband and friends really enjoyed their beers though. The place was clean and the ladies manning the bar were nice, funny, and professional.“

Escape Craft Brewery - Laguna Niguel Brewery •
28162 Camino Capistrano #109A, Laguna Niguel - 3.6 miles

“Brewery vibe. Casual atmosphere.The $5 10 oz. Beer is a great option. Sat at a high top on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the music from the local live band that was playing. Did not enjoy the seven small children and their three dogs playing on the ground in the lounge area. Does anyone else besides me, think children should stick to the playground and not be hanging around bars?“

“Delahunt Taproom and Taqueria in Dana Point was outstanding. We decided to come down for lunch and a couple beers! We ended up staying a lot longer than expected because the vibe and staff were incredible! The food was very good! Our beertender Gavin was outstanding! He knew the selections of beers and made excellent recommendations! The vibe was our style. Not too loud! They had the games on as well!

They have an outdoor seating area with heaters!We will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town! These guys know what’s up! Thanks guys! Till next time! -Tom“

Left Coast Brewing Co. Brewery • $
1245 Puerta Del Sol, San Clemente - 5.25 miles

“Had an AMAZING experience at the Left Coast Brewing Company. It's a small but well-run establishment with a ton of great options on tap. It attracts a really chill crowd: there was literally a patron with her newborn. Very family friendly, warm, and positive. I went here for trivia night, and we had a total blast. There's no food at the brewery since it's a smaller space and it's really not in a location built for heavy duty kitchen work, but they were totally cool with us bringing food in and even gave us recommendations for local spots! I'm not even a beer drinker but I enjoyed trying their different offerings and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them!They even have a little mini arcade setup and cards against humanity. They put a ton of thought into curating a space for community and good old fashioned fun. Restrooms were SO clean and there were a men's and women's room which feels so rare at bars! The women's room even had multiple stalls, which was so convenient. Pitchers of water were free (and quite frankly, the water was delicious), and there was fun, clean music playing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun place for all ages to enjoy. It's hard to find a place that's welcoming to non-drinkers and younger people, while also still offering plenty of alcoholic options. So many establishments strive to create the third place, and Left Coast Brewing Company hits it on the head.“

Delahunt Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1011 Calle Recodo, San Clemente - 5.01 miles

“Delahunt Brewing Steve and I recently got to try and we both enjoyed the beer that we shared. The name of the beer was Elotes Libre which was an IPA. Better than some IPA's I have had of late this refreshing beer has flavor features of hoppy, tropical, fruity and sweet. But it's not too sweet. I don't like my beers to taste like Kool-Aid or soda and that isn't usually a problem with IPA's but more with sours. But still, much appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. This IPA is fairly strong too which I don't mind as I like beer with a punch after a hard day.“

“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!“

FRISBY WINERY & BREWING Brewery • $$
28522 Airoso St, Rancho Mission Viejo - 5.19 miles

“Went in on a cloudy Sat. afternoon and was greeted with very friendly service. Found wines both my husband and I enjoyed. We were going to order food from their menu, but they told us that a local pizza co. would be setting up in the back, if we wanted to wait for that. We ended up ordering a charcuterie and a couple pizzas, and it was all delicious! We went to Frisby to try something new and walked out as wine members! Looking forward to our next visit.“

23301 Avenida De La Carlota C, Laguna Hills - 9.03 miles

“Great brewery! The place is huge. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The beer and food I tasted were delicious! The hazy was my favorite. The carnitas tacos were juicy, meaty, and great tasting. The empanadas stole the show. Crispy and delicious! The customer service was friendly and helpful from everyone we encountered. Will visit again!“
