    GIVE MICHAEL A RAISE! Super cool dude and chill place. It's my first time here and parking is super easy and there are a wide range of beers. There are a lot of seats and TVs for the game. Service was super quick and everyone is so kind! I am grateful

    I came here today for a quick beer, and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a pretty solid beer line up and great prices. I appreciate they they had a pretty good size bar, too. The color blue makes the ambiance a very relaxing vibe. I would love to come back and try some of their food!

    Pastrami
    Brandon M.

    Amazing and friendly service. Good prices (~12 ish dollar sandwiches, hot or cold). I got the Pastrami this time and it was one of the best I've had, even compared to renowned hole-in-the-wall places in LA. I've had the chicken club before too which was also . Nice variety of local beers as well. Random fact: you can leave your car overnight 1 night if needed, though I got a ticket saying I now have a 1-time "permanent warning" for next time... but they don't tow or fine for the first one. Staff confirmed you get 3 warnings.

    World cup!

    This place is amazing. They have a secret menu, and will customize pretty much anything if you're cool. Plus they've got multiple tvs where you can watch the world cup, while drinking amazing beer.

    California Delight

    They were quite busy on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, but thankfully I ordered online for pick-up. The order was waiting for me on the online mobile order pick-up shelves. Since you pay on the website, you can just easily pick up your order! With a quick glance into the restaurant, there was plenty of seating, however the thing that was holding up the line was that there was only one register open. I got the California Delight. Typically, I am not too fond of cream cheese on various foods, but surprisingly, all the ingredients provided a great balance of flavors and textures. The sandwich is a great portion size, while not feeling too heavy. I really like the addition of the sunflower seeds and sprouts which add a more unique crunchy texture to every bite.

    My favorite place in Orange County for a sandwich and a beer. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Gives a family atmosphere as the guest. Absolutely love their beers and love their sandwiches. Must order extra signature sauce which is a sweet and sour sauce

    This board & brew location has tasty sandwiches, quick service and a laidback vibe. Ambiance & Aesthetic: 7.5/10 the ambiance is chill laid back with a hangout bar, and some TVs to catch games or a race. The aesthetic is more New age beach vibe. Service: 8/10 The individual at the counter was friendly and welcoming, she took my order quick ensured everything was correct, and the food came out quick too. The chicken caesar wrap: 7/10 The wrap was robust with fillings, but the chicken was a bit dry, and the whole wrap was bit light on the dressing with having pockets of it throughout vs being tossed. The cucumbers & onions were fresh and a great crunch, but the tomato's had a little acidity or tartness to them almost unripened. They have an awesome selections of beers on tap as well, overall this place has great sandwiches and a cool local hangout spot!

    This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the hospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful.

    This Board & Brew location in Irvine's Oak Creek Shopping Center is the best possible version of any Board & Brew imaginable. The store is immaculately clean with amazing decor, the staff is super professional and hardworking and also caring, the food is really good and tastes the way it was meant to taste, and there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. Totally recommend this location if you're looking for some affordable and good-quality sandwiches!!

    This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

    Ambiance is great. Feels like you're in a cabin in the woods. Service is prompt and friendly. Food…read moreis solid. Shrimp tacos hit and were absolutely packed with shrimp. Cocktails were tasty and followed the theme well. Will be bringing friends next time for sure!

From the sign as you enter, through the teeth, to the throaty-red textured walls, The Belly of the Beast encases guests in the whimsical journey down the whale's gullet. Who knew getting "swallowed" would be such fun? Keeping with the throaty theme, the space inside holds a few tables. It's an intimate space with ambient lighting and cheery Hawaiian/beach music. Puppets hang here and there, as well as other thematic, decorative details. My friend and I shared a few mouthwatering apps and imbibed a few delicious concoctions. Our wonderful bartender frim "outside" even came in with us, which made our experience even more personalized. We especially appreciated the complimentary shots! Our food was delicious and plentiful for apps: spam musubi, edamame, sliders, and shishito peppers. Now this is a big deal: my friend has celiac disease. She needs to be very cautious when ordering food. She self-advocates but much relies on the knowledge of servers. Our wonderful bartender, now our server, was very diligent and knowledgeable, and double checked ingredients with the chefs. Accommodations were made. Good times rolled on! Extra heaps of thanks on that! We fully enjoyed every minute of our (generous+) 90 minute time slot here. The service was amazing, the food delicious, and the cocktails made with magic. It was worth the drive, and one I'll gladly make again at next opportunity.

Brodie was on his game all night with drink recommendations, food suggestions and just being a great host for our table. This was our first time to TBotB, so we're went sure what to expect, but we've been to Stowaway many times. The only knock I had with it was the selection of cocktails is limited. While I understand TBotB is it's own thing separate from Stowaway, I wish you could get some of the drinks from there. Most of the cocktails we had were good (but I'm not sure I'd order them again), but the menu had a number of drinks I won't order, they're just not my style. We missed being able to get some of our favorites from Stowaway. We ended up getting a table at Stowaway after our time was up in TBotB anyway because we were having a good time so that was fun. All in all, I think next time we'll stick with Stowaway and sitting at the bar. At least we can check TBotB off our list. It's worth checking out for sure, but for me I enjoy the more classic tiki cocktails. It's fun to venture off the beaten path once in a while.
