    This is the place you come if you're looking to get a little buzzed in Downtown Disney. There's a plethora of beers on tap (obviously) plus cocktails, shots, wine. The possibilities are endless! We stopped by on a Saturday evening and were able to get on the waitlist and sat within 15 minutes or so (they don't take reservations so you check in at the host stand on the first floor and head up to the first floor when it's time to be sat). The food is a bit mid, nothing to write home about. I got the fish tacos. For Magic Key holders, there is a special Magic Key menu which I thought was pretty cool! I paired my tacos with a Baja Sipper which is essentially the alcoholic version of a Baja blast, omg so good. Like, scary good. Highly recommend.

    Secret menu box contains a special food menu for Disneyland pass holders only.

    My wife and I were invited to join two other couples for dinner at this restaurant. My first impression was that this place looked like a fun place to dine. You check in on the first floor and either take the elevator or the stairs to the second floor, which is where the dining area and bar are located. The restaurant is very nice and large. Employees were extremely friendly and welcoming, and they even offer a gift shop selling t-shirts, hoodies, caps, etc., bearing the restaurant's name and logo. Once seated, we had a great view of a portion of downtown Disney down below. The seats were very comfortable, and the tables were fully stocked with condiments and other items. The menu offered so many delicious-sounding options. I decided on a Cobb salad plus an order of fries, and a beer, while my wife has a personal-sized cauliflower-based pizza. Both of our meals were PERFECT!! They were tasty, fresh, and well-prepared. The rest of our group had numerous other food items, and they were all as satisfied and happy with their choices as we were. The service we received from our waiter was GREAT as he was attentive and friendly. The vibe here is relaxed and fun. We can't wait to return.

    Smash burger with garlic fries. Not really a smash burger but indeed a burger

    Came here after our Disney date for some brews. We went up the stairs so fast thinking it would be really hard to find seats but we were very surprised on how many areas to pick and sit at on a Friday night! I think we were just lucky! We got some beers and an entree to share. Can't go wrong with Pineapple sculpin and Wahoo White! We had a lot of snacks to eat in Disney but still wanted to munch on something with our beer. We decided with their nachos. Really wish they would layer the toppings better on the nachos. The bottom had no sauce or toppings left. Heavy loaded on top but pretty minimal for the protein. It was decent. Servers were really good and attentive at the bar. Got our validation for the parking and when you spend over $20 at table service. You'll get 6 hours validated for parking at downtown Disney!

    Fish and Chips

    The atmosphere is chill here. Sat outside on the upstairs patio. It was nice since we had good weather. The food is ordered on a QR code. It's okay but not great, but prices are crazy. The fish and chips were good. The fish could have been crispy but wasn't terrible. The fries were good. The beer is okay but don't get a picture only a description of the beer. The service is ehh since you order from the QR code you don't have a set server. So getting water too a long time. The cleanup is kind of rushed so they took my drink before I was done, and tried to take our fries. Not really impressed by that kind of service.

    Chicken pot pie empanadas, sauce on the side
    Kryssa I.

    On a summer week night, they were able to accommodate our large group with no wait. It's a clean restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. There's a decent food and beverage menu. I ordered the chicken pot pie empanadas as I didn't want to order a large meal knowing I was heading back into the park afterward. Empanadas were tasty, but one still had filling that was a little chilled. The other two were fine. Docking a star for the lack of consistency and cold food.

    Lobster roll
    Claudia S.

    Speedy and friendly service at downtown Disney. All the brews are exceptional quality and flavor. I've never had a bad beer at Ballast Point. Love that it reminds me of my hometown San Diego. We also tried the ceviche which was fresh and well balanced with veggies. Perfect amount of citrus. I also had their lobster roll which had a generous amount of lobster. It was chilled lobster which was interesting as I've had it warm at other places but still delicious. My siblings had their fish tacos and nachos and were very happy with their meals. Definitely a go to restaurant and brewery when in Downtown Disney!!!

    My happy place!

    Love Ballast Point! Perfectly located in Downtown Disney among restaurants, small bites and endless shops. It's the perfect hideout for dads to chill and relax and enjoy a nice cold brew while the wife and kids go shopping! It's my oasis! This brewery has a laid-back, "backyard" vibe on the rooftop, while the indoor area is more industrial and lively. You can sit back and drink while watching over the Downtown Disney District. Known for quality California-inspired pub food, specifically the pretzel with mustard, wings, fish tacos, burgers, and extensive beer flights. Service is great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making great food and beer recommendations!

    Carne asada nachos
    Maria D.

    Unfortunately, the food at this restaurant was a little disappointing. After a long day at the Disneyland parks, we were looking for something filling so we decided to go to ballast point and get some carne asada nachos, it was so small with barely any meat. The price was $22!!!! I can't believe they charge that much for something that is so small it was more like chips and salsa. We were still hungry so we had to order more food, ended up with some quesabirria, that was delicious and I wish we would've ordered that from the beginning, but still very small portions for the price. We used to come to this restaurant a ton before and we've never had an experience like this so we were definitely disappointed.

    Ballast Point in Anaheim was a mixed experience for me. The location and beer selection are definitely the highlights here. They have a great variety of Ballast Point signature beers along with other local brews on tap, so beer lovers will probably be happy. Just know this is more of a brewery setup -- limited seltzer options and no full bar. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing for the price point. The poke is all pre-mixed, so there's really no customization if you don't like certain ingredients (I would've skipped the onions). The lobster roll was the biggest letdown -- especially for the cost. It came across more like a cold lobster-tuna salad drowning in mayo than an actual fresh lobster roll. Honestly, the toasted bread was the best part. Service was friendly and perfectly fine, but nothing especially memorable. I do wish the staff had steered me toward stronger menu items or at least given a heads-up about the lobster roll. Overall, not a terrible experience, but with so many restaurants nearby offering better food and full bar options, I personally wouldn't rush back.

    Ballast Point is adjacent to Black Tap in the Downtown Disney District. I've often confused the two as the entrances are in close proximity and are easily confused for each other. Ballast point is actually located upstairs and has a very nice vibe and in addition to a view of the down town Disney area. Surprisingly good food. You cannot go wrong as there are many options to choose from. Disney Magic Key holders also have the option to view a secret menu. Nice choices and one that I won't spoil here. Find out for yourselves people. I will simply say that Ballast Point is certainly worth a visit and the prices are not out of line and a wonderful option on a busy Disney Day.

    BP Asada Steaks Nachos
    John D.

    A nice brewery to hang out after visiting Disney parks or just being in Downtown. Downtown Disney was crowded on a Saturday night but got bar seatings right away. The service was great, lots of beer choices and they are all good. Had the BP Asada Steak Nachos, for the price it was not worth it. Minimal steak pieces and really runny cheese.

    Fish and chips
    Jennifer S.

    After a full Disney day, this was the perfect quick stop. We walked up to the bar upstairs, grabbed a self-seat, and just exhaled. We shared the fish and chips and a blood orange seltzer. The seltzer was so good -- crisp, refreshing, exactly what you want after walking 20k steps. The fish and chips were solid and flavorful. My only thing is I wish the portions were a little bigger like most traditional fish and chips spots. Still good nonetheless and hit the spot. We'll definitely be back for the seltzer and to try more of the menu, especially since we've got those Disney passes and will be in the area a lot.

    Asada steak nachos
    Elizabeth N.

    After getting some steps in walking around Downtown Disney, we decided to stop by for a quick drink. I went with my usual 8oz kombucha draft, and the seasonal Golden Mango flavor did not disappoint. It was incredibly refreshing. Light, crisp, and perfectly balanced. I really appreciate that it's gluten free with a natural fizz that isn't overpowering or flat. The cold pressed lime gives it that clean, bright finish, and the mango flavor tastes natural, not artificial or overly sweet. Honestly, it was so refreshing I immediately wanted another. We also ordered the asada steak nachos. It was decent. Nothing bad, but pretty standard bar style nachos you'd find anywhere. It gets the job done if you're looking for something to share. The staff was friendly and the vibe is what you'd expect from a typical brewery. Casual and easygoing. The bar is located upstairs, so be ready for a flight of stairs, but they do have an elevator which is convenient. There's also bar stool seating where you can sit back, enjoy your drink, and take in views overlooking Downtown Disney, which adds to the overall experience. Overall, a great spot to pause, refresh, and sip on something unique while exploring the area.

    Black Marlin flatbread.  VERY SPICY!!! We didn't finish it, it was so spicy & the menu description doesn't mention spice at all.

    Ask the Community - Ballast Point

    Do they show Dodger Games?

    From my experience there, they don't really play live sports--which is unfortunate, as they have many TVs. They DO often play fantastic music, however.

    Can you order food to go- take back to the hotel?

    Hello Jeffery! Yes, you absolutely can order food to take back to the hotel!

    They usually answer the phone during their business hours.

    Is this location pet friendly?

    Hello Brandi G. We definitely are pet friendly...appreciate you asking and we look forward to seeing you and the pup pay us a visit.… Read more

    Does this place accept reservations?

    Yes, through OpenTable. Go to the Ballast Point website, and select location. You’ll see a section for reservations

    Are they currently accepting walk-ins? Open table says they are completely booked.

    We were there in late June and got in without a reservation. It was a 15 min wait. Also ask about sitting at the bar. That may get you in without a wait.

    Are reservations needed?

    Last time I went yes. This was a few months ago during the Covid restrictions. Not sure if they are still needed but I would make them regardless it can get packed here

    Do they have beer to go?

    They do! You can either ask downstairs and they'll send you up, or you can order before you leave!

    Can you make a reservation? Or is it first come, first served only?

    Jonathan A. Yes, you can make reservations through OpenTable. Due to the limited space and the… Read more

    Outdoor dining back on?

    Kiya C. We are excited to be offering outdoor dining! We look forward to hopefully seeing you soon.… Read more

    Are they currently open for sit down dining?

    Not yet. Waiting for the governor to lift his restrictions. Once outdoor dining is "legal" again DTD will fully reopen; including Ballast Point.

    Do they sell six packs of victory at sea now that the dining area is closed? If not how does the "to go" option work?

    They have 6 packs available and Growlers (64oz) as well. You would have to call them directly to verify availability of the specific drink you are looking for.… Read more

    Anybody got the updated menu? Or is it still the same?

    We appreciate your interest and if you could send me your email address I’ll have someone send our menu options your way...

    What is the wait system like? Is it a buzzer or a text when your table is ready? Wondering if we will be able to walk around downtown Disney while waiting for a table or if we will have to stay in the restaurant.

    I'm pretty sure it was a text message when we went there. They will give you an idea of wait time and that should dictate how far you wander into downtown Disney.

    Will BP check ID upon entry or can those under 21 still come into the restaurant for the non-alcoholic offerings like food?

    They welcome all ages into restaurant. We ate lunch there with our 2 year old & they had a kids menu upon request.

    Do they serve wine?

    Yes, they have a decent variety of wine.

    Do I need a Disneyland ticket or pass to enter or enjoy?

    No, this is located in Downtown Disney.

    Are they dog friendly?

    Not 100% sure, but it's highly doubtful. They have a kitchen and it's all located on the second floor.

    Is it Keto or vegetarian friendly?

    They have impossible burger, but not really keto friendly.

I also liked that they had multiple restrooms around the building. They have a very impressive beer and seltzer collection. You can get various sizes or a whole pitcher for the table.

    We were craving to come here and enjoy their beers and food. We had no idea that the Monster truck…read moreevent was taking place. They were charging for parking so we paid $30 plus processing fee. Kevin the manager couldn't care less that we were here as customers not for the monster truck thing so they didn't give us a table and we had to sit at the bar. He initially said that there was a 30 min wait even though we could see empty tales. We had already paid so we had to stay to get the $30 discount on your bill when spending $30. He was not willing to refund since they were not technically the ones charging you. Once we sat at the bar, the bartender was nice and made us feel comfortable so we could enjoy our night. The place was crowded with families with kids, adults just overindulging and being very loud. The moment the event started time got closer, all of this crowd started leaving which allowed us to really enjoy our night. The food was great as always. The poke nachos are really tasty with a good balance of fish and nachos. The fish and chips is one of our go to dishes they are always perfectly cooked. We have noticed that shrinkflation has happened throughout the years, but after enjoying a few beers you don't notice anymore. This was the first time trying their burger and it was amazing! The patty was perfectly cooked and the flavors just worked together. We also decided to give the beeramisu a second try and we enjoyed it. It is a creative and unique twist to your traditional tiramisu. Since it had been a while, we didn't even know that they have a club now. We gladly join and got the poke nachos as a welcome gift. Overall the experience started on a bad note but we left happy after good food, service and drinks. Also, Kevin came by after the mess to check on us and apologize for the inconvenience. Make sure you check the angel stadium for event before you come, they will be busy.

    We had the unfortunate experience of unknowingly going to Karl Strauss right before a Dodgers @…read moreAngels game, and WOW was the restaurant packed. The wait was projected to be an HOUR! But we got a super nice host who noticed our mistake and kindly sat us down right away. We appreciated the customer service. We ordered the brussel sprouts (3 out of 5) and the carne asada fries (4 out of 5). Both were large portions, enough for two people to share as an appetizer. I especially enjoyed the green cilantro sauce on the carne asada fries! I love that this location lets you do a beer flight with as few as 2 beers. Some of my favorite beers I tried in my flight were the Golden Stout, Wreck Alley (a stout), and Boat Shoes (a tropical IPA). One thing that shocked me about the restaurant setup was the lack of TVs. It has a sports vibe, especially with Angel Stadium right across the street, but the only TV I could see from where I was sitting was super far away. So come for great beer flights and fun apps, but not to hang out and watch sports.

    A few friends and I came here after an event for a few drinks and appetizers. It wasn't super busy,…read moreso we were seated pretty quickly. I started with the loaded fries, but swapped the nacho cheese for mozzarella, along with a cherry pineapple lemonade, because I'm never afraid of a good fruity drink. Both were excellent. The fries were truly loaded, yet somehow still crispy and well-seasoned. The cherry pineapple lemonade was fantastic too. It was dangerously smooth since you could barely taste the alcohol. I honestly could've drunk a whole gallon of it. We also shared some mozzarella sticks and BBQ wings. The wings stayed crispy even under all that amazing BBQ sauce, and the mozzarella sticks were exactly what you want from a mozzy stick: crispy, cheesy, and with a great cheese pull. , My only gripe was the service. Our server wasn't very attentive once it became clear we weren't ordering the All You Can Eat experience. Maybe he assumed that because we were mostly ordering appetizers, we'd be less likely to tip. That thought crossed my mind because when we ordered more food, he suddenly started checking on us more often. Maybe I was overthinking it, but it definitely stood out to me. It was a Saturday night, but the restaurant wasn't especially busy, so I'm not sure what kept him away from our section for so long. That said, the atmosphere was great. There was seating both inside and out on the patio, and watching the flames from the stir fry station was really cool. I can definitely see why they call themselves "Fire+Ice." I could absolutely see myself coming back. The food and drinks were tasty, and the All You Can Eat option sounds like a lot of fun when I'm extra hungry.

    Came here to celebrate our February family birthdays a couple of weeks ago. We've been coming to…read morethis location for years and it's always been a favorite for our larger family birthday parties (sometimes we've had 30+ people) We really love it here. I'm so surprised at the bad reviews. We have never had any problems with the food being anything but great in literally 10 years. Everything has always been fresh and yummy. We have always had friendly wait staff, friendly cooks- like sincerely, it's always been good. I don't keep it shut when it comes to bad food or nasty service.There has been a time or two over the years that the host or hostess hasn't been great but it's definitely not the norm. We had my 1 year old niece and my 30 year old daughter celebrating their birthdays together and everyone was just so kind. Even about our one year old chaos queen making a mess! It's a great place. I've been here when it's packed and when it's sparse. Always enjoyed it. Big A+ for my fam!
