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

“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.“

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

“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?“

“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

“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

“I’ve been here a few times and must say this place is amazing! The food is top notch, the staff, friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance is well executed and a feast for the eyes, without being pretentious. Pricing for the beers is quite reasonable compared to most places in South County, and they even have a half pour option for a flat $5 for any of the beers. Food wise the goat cheese wontons are exquisite, as are the shrimp hush puppies. That’s all I’ve had, but everything else looks amazing too. If your nearby definitely stop by and have a brew, and even if your not nearby. Their cocktails are also top notch and their bourbon and whiskey quite nice.I’ll be back…again, and again and again…“

Brewhouse Pretzel

“Worth locating this place hidden in back of a strip center. 18 rotating beers on tap and a fresh bottle / can fridge should please even the most discerning beer snobs and they have ciders and wine too. Andrew and Kim are always welcoming as are their friendly beertenders. They have a few TVs but it’s more about enjoying the beer and ambienceKid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible via parking ramps and flat entry“

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“

GameCraft Brewing Brewery • $$
23301 Avenida De La Carlota C, Laguna Hills

“Great original beer in a massive, chilled brew cave full of friendly geeks. Grab a hazy and a couple empanadas while watching a level-five wizard crush a hit-point impaired troll into a fermenting mash no doubt re-used for the next perfect double-hopped IPA. Pure nerdy deliciousness.“

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

“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 Taproom + Taqueria Brewery • $$
34091 La Plaza, Dana Point

“Delahunt is a clean and spacious bar with some food and a few TVs right in the heart of the main strip of Dana Point on the PCH. Some of the pros are that it has a lot of beer and ciders on tap with the occasional seltzer. They play the seasonal game of taps, so you have your go to standards plus whatever is the seasonal fruit drink is in fuzzy alcoholic form or beer. There isn't hard alcohol at this time so don't come in expecting a cocktail, and there is limited wine and other drink options. Indoor and outdoor seating, next to Hennessey's, across from Hobie, and a spacious parking lot. Some of the cons are it just never seems full enough to have a fun group vibe, and the TVs are very spread about at slightly awkward angles, so it's not the best game day bar. I have had the tacos and they are fine although my friend absolutely loved them. So to each his own! Overall, this is a nuce place to stop by for a drink or two in a casual way.“

“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!“
