Their brewmaster left. The new guy changed the recipe for the porter. It doesn't taste anything like the original. Unpleasant, actually. Luckily the pale ale and red are still good. |

Oh, right, Steve-who-USED-to-work-there. Like a review of a place based on a visit from over a year ago when their process has clearly changed drastically is valid in any way that's useful to visitors to this site! Who was that guy--your brother?!?! HAHAHAHA! What'd you do, move up to a *really* prestigious position waiting tables at Black Angus? Or just get canned for being a DOOFUS!!! |

It looked like a bunker when I was there. Nice happy hour spread, but the beer was unremarkable. At least the (very cute) waitress knew a lot of good jokes! |

HUGE selection of beer--12 taps or so, and hundreds in bottles. Good, solid deli fare, and friendly service. Small, out-of-the-way place, hard to find, but worth it! |

This place is classy and pricey, but worth it. The food and service were excellent, and the beer compared with the best OC has to offer. Want to impress someone? Take them here... |

Nothing special about the beer here; we tried them all (they're always out of something), and ended up with a pitcher of Mackeson's, or whatever they had at the time. Food was better than the beer, but the service (thankfully) is always great. |

I've been there a number of times, and service is almost always indifferent. Beers are good, but nothing special. Food and ambiance are great, though! |

Best porter and pale ale in Orange County! The red's not bad, either. Great food, excellent service, and a casual atmosphere. A little noisy at times, but hey--it's a brewpub! |
