The service was absolutely amazing and our waiter Cody was the best. He was sure to check on us and make sure we were good on drinks and food. I really appreciated the attentiveness! read more

Wow. We stopped in hoping to get a drink and some apps and had the time of our lives. The restaurant has such great ambiance and is very chill. Cody took care of us and was probably the best server I've ever had. He made my friend's 40th birthday so fun and even sang her happy birthday in Italian. Thanks for making our day so special Cody!! We will definitely be back! read more

Go and try the pretzel it is the best in town. read more

We stopped in as a pit stop while we were waiting for our air bnb before my bachelorette party. Cody was absolutely AMAZING. The staff greeted us with open arms and Cody took amazing care of us. If anyone wants to understand hospitality means, they should shadow him for a day. His personality and kindness was infectious and just made you feel so welcomes. But let's talk about the drinks - make sure you order the Bellringer and truffle fries! read more

Friend and I came in waiting for our Airbnb to be ready for check in. We were shown a lovely area where you can sit on the couch and then somehow a foot rest was put beneath my tired lazy feetskies. Let me tell you about Cody, he is so funny. We like him. He is a ball of good vibes and has a wonderful singing voice. Come here. Wait, did I tell you about Cody? read more

Came here to meet a friend for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy even tho Old Town has its usual weekend crowd. We were seated outside in the patio since my friend brought her fur baby with her. We each ordered a beer and two different burgers which we split in half and traded one half. The burgers were really good, decent sized patty and some good toppings. The crushed burger seemed a little on the dry side tho. The fries came out cold so that was kind of disappointing. Overall not a bad place to get some burgers and brew, just wish the fries wasn't cold. read more

We had our holiday party at Crush and Brew, what a great experience! The staff was friendly, the food and service was fantastic! The restaurant was decorated for the holidays, it was so festive! Will definitely be coming back again. read more

Please come!!! Food is amazing but our server Cody was much more immaculate. The service always makes everything better and Cody made that happen. Bomb place pls come. read more

Good vibes good food nice crowd beer flows like wine bathrooms are clean parking is a bitch so get there early lol.. coo spot

Cody was amazing! Came in with a big group and our service, the food, and our drinks were great. Can't wait to be back soon!

The calamari was ok, a bit chewy. The drinks where very good. The T&T burger was great but the pork belly Mac was underwhelming. The service could definitely be more attentive. But overall not too bad. read more

Probably the worst experience I've had downtown. Food was extremely salty. We had to send our calamari back and then send it back again. Fish and chips were extremely salty as well. I am not salt sensitive but when you take a bite of food it shouldn't suck the saliva out of your mouth. I hope things can change because the environment is fun, but $90 for food that wasn't edible is not ok. read more

Food was great. Service was fast and friendly. The pork belly fried rice is delicious

I went in for trivia 2 weeks in a row and it was a lighthearted atmosphere, the happy hour specials were great, and the bartender Cody was so much fun and engaging! So much fun and a wonderful place to hangout! read more

I was genuinely shocked by the pretentiousness and condescension exhibited at the Apparition Room of Crush and Brew. Having traveled extensively, I have never encountered such a dismissive and ignorant environment, especially in a place like Temecula, California. Upon arrival, we were informed of a two to three-hour wait, only to be texted 24 minutes later. When seated, the staff claimed we had only reserved for two, despite our party of four, and accused us of "sneaking in" due to their own error (mind you, there were tables open and available the whole time we were seated) The bartender's hostility was unwarranted and unprofessional. The drinks were subpar; the "Münchensen on Prime" tasted like burnt rubber, and requesting a simple Old Fashioned was met with resistance because it wasn't on the menu. Four drinks cost $70, which is exorbitant given the quality. To top it off, the hostess informed us, "Last call is at 11:30, and we kick people out by 12/12:15," a statement that felt more like a threat than a courtesy. After our experience, I spoke with the manager of the Crush and Brew, who also oversees the Apparition Room. When I mentioned our dissatisfaction, he offered a complimentary shot. Upon declining, he promptly turned away to take another order..from his waitress, which was wild because he was the one engaging and asking me questions on the experience and when I proceeded to be honest he effectively went on dismissing me because I wasn't there to get drunk and be taken advantage of...just visiting and enjoying our friends company. The Apparition Room's attempt at exclusivity falls flat, resulting in an unwelcoming atmosphere that I would not recommend to anyone. The worst service I have ever experienced. From host to bartender to waitress to manager should all be looked into. Absolutely terrible and I never take the time out of my life to write something like this, but this was an absolute terrible experience and I'm shocked that something like this even exists. Do not waste time or money to be treated so terribly..for no reason. read more

We stopped in while checking out Temecula this weekend. The location is easy to find and the main strip parking is not bad. They have both inside and outside seating with some views of the hills. The decor is really cool and I like the wall with the broken up barrels. The menu has some great options for food and drinks. For the quality of food and drinks I think it's a great spot. I had the burger with parm fries which is awesome. Joey took care of us and even took us back and showed us the secret speakeasy that they have which was really cool. read more

I have been to Crush & Brew a few times before, but this time was the most memorable. It was just myself for a while, so I decided to sit at the bar. Royce, one of the main bartenders was so cool! He was super busy all night, but continued working with a smile on his face. The drinks he made for me were spot on, and all the ones he created for others looked amazing! It's always nice to see someone enjoy what they do! read more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner and after party with Crush & Brew and my wife and I can't emphasize enough how great they did. The owners, the manager, the bartenders, and all of the staff were so great to work with and extremely nice. Both of our events couldn't have gone any better. Also, the food and drinks here are very good. We got a lot of people saying how much they liked the cali flatbread. This is fantastic restaurant, definitely worth it to stop by! read more

Cody was an amazing waiter. Funny and great service. The food was yummy!! I had the BLTA on sourdough and it was delicious. The calamari appetizer was great too! Beautiful day to sit outside on the front patio area. read more

I stopped into Crush and Brew for Lunch. Their Panini sandwich is so darn amazing. It's totally filling and the bread is very soft and the fillings are a great mix of flavors to protein ratio. Please go and try this gem of a place, you won't be disappointed! Oh and the staff is always prompt and very kind. read more

Leaving this review so you don't feel bamboozled like I did. Just a heads up, the food they show on this yelp page is no longer being served at the restaurant. I guess they changed management/chef and so they have a completely different menu. Although I came specifically for some of the food I saw on Yelp, I was still so open minded to trying other things! However, it was really bad :( I don't yelp and just felt like I had to leave a review. Drinks were good & the restaurant was nice but I wouldn't come here for a pleasant dinner. Hope it improves!! Also, our server was awesome so that was a plus! read more

Went for Trivia night on Mondays and loved that happy hour runs at the same time! Our server Cody had immaculate vibes and gave wonderful service. read more

We recently moved to the area and we usually try new places for birthday dinners. We let the birthday person pick the place. This time I celebrated my birthday, it was Monday, and not all places were open. But this was my lucky day because I chose Crush & Brew. It was a pretty slow day, and our order was taken pretty quickly. The food turned out to exceed our expectations! The spicy and creamy sauce in pasta was delicious, burgers perfectly cooked and salad portions were great. A small note on Ceasar's dressing - please try a different one as this didn't taste like handmade. Although 4 shrimps is good, but would be great to have a little more for this plate size. Overall, I would definitely return for the great street views in the evening. PS: Shout out to our server who wore two hats as a bartender and a waiter that day! You did an amazing job!

Ambiance is nice and mellow, we went when there was live music. The service could have been a little better - we didn't see our server as much as we'd like. My food was originally wrong when it first came out (completely different dish). Overall after I received my correct meal, we were happy with the flavors and music read more

We waited for service. We waited for our food. Menu was sparse and dirty. Our burgers were burnt they gave us only a 10% off our bill. Terrible experience, worse 40 bucks I ever spent. read more

Everyone was so kind the second we walked in and the food was phenomenal but our waiter Cody was the best, he kept checking up on us to make sure we were good on everything! He was very lively and we were cracking jokes with him every time he passed by, he was really funny!! Definitely coming back because he was a doll!!! read more

Friendly, helpful and informative server. Quick service. Avocado toast was amazing (done in bruschetta style). Highly recommend brunch between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. The bottomless mimosas are a perfect combo with the charcuterie board. Vibe is immaculate, love the decor. Great lighting for pictures with friends and family during the meal. read more

We decided to have a few drinks here before heading into their speakeasy. The bartender (with the mustache) was so sarcastic and rude. He was incredibly nice to the lady next to me though! I asked for another slice of lime and he was arguing with me about how many he can give out. ONE extra piece is not going to make or break this place! After that, be never asked if I wanted another drink when I was done.Never coming back. read more

We had the cheese please charcuterie board. So good. One of the best ones we have had. The service was fantastic. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Great place for a drink and a bit to eat. read more

Reservations are easy to make online, which is always a plus, in my book. We did that, didn't end up needing it as it wasn't crowded at 6:30 on a Saturday night, but oh well! Food was pretty good. Try the halibut; those flavors are unusual but delicious! Our server was friendly and very attentive! It wasn't mind-blowing food overall, but it was pretty darn good and the ambience was casual without being TOO casual. read more

Went for happy hour and was presented two happy hour menus. One had $10 old fashions and the other menu had $8 old fashions happy hour. They charged $10 and not $8. The drinks are amazing but be consistent on the price of happy hour. Love the staff friendly and experienced cocktail bartenders. read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night with my cousins. Everything we ordered was delicious. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The Cajun shrimp and the vegetarian curry were so flavorful and delicious. A must try Customer service is great here. Very friendly and attentive staff specially our waitress. Will be back when in Temecula. read more

What an absolute gem!! I'm thrilled to have my new favorite spot in Old Town. After drinks and flatbread in the main dining area, we made our way to the hidden speakeasy - WOW! It's spacious, comfortable temperature, and all of the drinks were spot on. The team at Crush & Brew went above and beyond to engage with their guests, it's evident that everyone that works here is excited and passionate about offering a great dining experience to those visiting their restaurant. Can't wait to come back soon for brunch, their menu looks great! Highly recommend supporting this locally owned business if you're looking for a spot to enjoy a good meal. read more

My first impression of Crush & Brew was absolutely amazing! First of all the service was top notch. Our waiter Cody was great! He gave off great vibes and was all around a joy to speak with. We had a couple of Old Fashioned's that were crafted to perfection. My date had the Apple Walnut & Goat Cheese salad and I wanted the Cajun Shrimp polenta but we were a little too early for that dish. I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back again! Thank you Crush & Brew! read more

I love this place! Hardly ever have a wait even at prime time on the weekends. The cocktails and food are great and so tasty. The great provider is a personal favorite. Great for vegetarian and meat eaters. read more

Terrible service. staff was slow with no other tables. Waiter disappears for twenty minutes and never took our order. We had to flag down the bar tender to get our meals put in. Wouldn't recommend read more

Ambiance was good, beer and cocktails were great and the staff was excellent but as a foodie, I must be a tad critical. Although the short ribs were an excellent cut and roasted to perfection, the polenta was very disappointing as it was creamed beyond recognition. Flavor was muted by the cream and anticipated texture had been obliterated. The biggest disappointment was the side dish of Risotto. My wife is Italian; we cook traditional style but tried other ways, here as well in Italy. C&Bs risotto lacked the traditional qualities as was not creamy, not al dente and completely lacked flavor. They did use onions but doubt it was cooked in broth and they added a good white wine. It was served clumpy, and became stickier. We did not have the heart to tell them but felt I must now in hopes they improve. Also, my daughter was served the Pesto pasta which was decent, as tasted like Jared sauce and not made fresh ...but the portion was small for the price point. Will be sometime before we go back. As they the short rib, should add Ossobuco to their short menu. read more

Cody, Jacob and Andy were absolutely amazing. This is a complete full service restaurant with the team working as a cohesive unit and team. They bring the fun, laughter and joy of old town to the forefront. Will definitely be back and spread the word about this bar and restaurant!! read more
