    This is a small venue to check out bands. They only take cash here, but there is an ATM inside. The restrooms are small, but clean. They didn't serve food as far as I could tell, but it a cool spot. I would recommend this place if you checking out and band or if your looking for a space to play. It stared as a punk venue I believe. It's has a punk vibe. P

    Such a cool place to see a show. If you like Punk and Rock-a-Billy this is the place to go in the OC.

    I came here for a NAMM after party show. It had three stages, 2 outdoor and 1 indoor. The indoor stage looks really nice with stickers of metal bands. The sound was ok; couldn't hear the vocalist really well. Not really liking the restrooms- they were kind of crowded and not well stocked. They did have a cool taco stand there for the event. Not sure if they always have outside vendors come in. They seem to have a well stocked bar- that takes cash only. There is also street parking. Great metal venue!

    It's quite unfair for me to rate this place, because it is a rock show venue and I stopped in purely to check it out during the set up period before the Sunday night shows. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was hoping there would be tap beer and a cool vibe. Instead there was cooler beer and no vibe- it was empty, almost eerie... The people were very nice, there was a bar tender lady with blond hair and a sound guy with long hair. Disclaimer: I'm super boring and don't love music or at least loud music shows...

    Hell yea OC oldest Punk Rock club is back in action! Re-opened 1-3-14! Cheap beer! Loud Music Fun Times! I got a call from my old pal Russel, who said that the Doll Hut was reopening and was gonna have some cool bands playing and told me I should go. I thought why the fuck, not I wasn't doing anything anyway and if I got loaded I could walk and stumble home 'cuz its kinda close, but this was a new chapter id the DH books. I've seen a lot of great bands here and a lot of not so great bands here too. Punk, metal, rockabilly, surf, you name it. Many bands cut their teeth here at the Doll Hut and some like Social Distortion and the Offspring sometimes returned after they had made it big to play surprise performances. Many consider the Doll Hut to be the CBGB's of the west coast. Can't think of a place more deserving. Besides CBGB's is still closed I think. The Doll Hut is the Webster's poster child for hole in the wall dive bar. Its tiny 2 car garage sized interior is held together duct tape and bubblegum. Its gritty and raw this is what an intimate performance is all about. Even the bathrooms at this place are punk. http://www.yelp.com/biz_... The Doll Hut is an Anaheim Icon. Built in the 1920's as a private residence, the Doll Hut became a truck stop cafe in 1936, a bar in the 1950's and a music venue when bought by Linda Jemison in the 1989. And when Linda's Doll Hut closed its doors in the summer of 2001, it was thought to be the end of an era. Luckily a couple who met at Linda's took over the space and reopened it that fall. It continued to feature live bands, often sold-out crowds and even occasional Sunday barbecues. Cheap covers, great music and cheap ass beer made this a special place. The stories the walls could tell! I'll be back!

    I only have been couple of times here and every time I ask myself why I don't come here more often.. Go figure! The Doll Hut is quite small but nice, the place is unpretentious and energetic. Seems like many customers know each other and are regulars from the bar. They have different nights according to the bands that play, all I have seen are quite good: Rockabilly, Metal and Punk. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/robvIID1NxKrUfH656mYTw?select=N3qanIwOENF_g32NbbRS3w#N3qanIwOENF_g32NbbRS3w Parking is not so great but quite acceptable. If you like to show off, if you are trying to impress or if you want the club cool scene, do you (and us a favor) Don't go! If you want to hear good music, without having to dress up and pay the ridiculous prices of other up scaled places: check the calendar of the Doll Hut, choose the night you want to go and you won't be disappointed! A plus the walls here have memory, seems like most of its patrons have left their mark http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/robvIID1NxKrUfH656mYTw?select=N3qanIwOENF_g32NbbRS3w#0Jm6UW-rCfRRpUSCmjzmqw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/robvIID1NxKrUfH656mYTw?select=FQIWwBB30x0tWjNnfs6K6w#FQIWwBB30x0tWjNnfs6K6w

    We attended a special Chartreuse tasting event at Strong Water which was being held in honor of…read moreChartreuse week and Chartreuse Day 1605 (May 16), the annual celebration of Chartreuse's origins and history. The tasting featured a great lineup of green and yellow Chartreuse paired with small bites. It concluded with a complementary Chartreuse-based cocktail from one of five recipes. Brand ambassador Taylor guided the event and began by telling us about the unique history of Chartreuse. The tasting started out with a small spoonful of Vegetal Elixir Chartreuse to warm up the palate. This is the base spirit of both green and yellow Chartreuse and clocks in at 138 proof. It was surprisingly not harsh, but immediately kicked my salivary glands into overdrive. I didn't even know that vintages of Chartreuse was a thing, but Taylor walked us through tasting three different vintages of both yellow and green Chartreuse, and it was surprising how different they were. The lineup concluded with more rare varietals of the green elixir 1605 and yellow cuvee. Great job, thanks Taylor! Chef Kling presented each small bite which included a crispy Icelandic cod, a roasted beet crostino, and a lamb slider. All of them had a five star list of ingredients and were delicious. Strong Water is known for their excellent cocktails, but their food is also great. For my cocktail at the end of the event, I had the Bar Flower (Green Chartreuse, Crème de Cacao, Pineapple, Lime). This was so good, with the herbal and chocolate flavors perfectly balanced. It was served with a flaming lime half. This was such a great event! Chartreuse retails for around $100 a bottle, and the higher-end varieties cost even more. At just $45 per person, this event was an amazing bargain. Strong Water frequently hosts great events, so keep an eye on their social media for upcoming dates. I really love Chartreuse, so I went back a few days later on the last day of Chartreuse week to try a few of the other limited time cocktails. I started out with their twist on a Grasshopper (Chartreuse, Crème de Menthe, Chili Liqueur, Crème de Cacao, Cream, Cane, $22). This was a great classic Grasshopper, but the Chartreuse added a herbal complexity, and there is a dash of heat on the finish from the chili liqueur. Next I had the Flare Gun (Yellow Chartreuse, Overproof Rum, Italian Bitter, Lime, Cane, $20). The yellow Chartreuse definitely comes through, but it's softer and has a light sweetness, unlike the green variety. Even though it contains overproof rum, it is perfectly balanced and not boozy at all. I usually don't like bitter drinks, but the bitterness was at a perfect light level. I finished off with the Tales from the Black Lagoon which is my favorite drink here, and it's also a favorite of many of the bartenders. All three cocktails were a home run. Chartreuse is an expensive spirit, so those drinks cost a little more than average. Shout out to Karen, Joey, Edgar, Jordan, and Ying for excellent hospitality, as always. Strong Water is our favorite place. We can't wait to go back!

Unfortunately, the inside of the Tiki Bar was closed for repairs/upgrades, but we ate on their very pleasant outdoor patio, and luckily, the weather was lovely. I'm not that into Hawaiian type food, no offense to Hawaiians whatsoever, so I found the menu to be a bit limiting. Since I just had a poke bowl the prior night, I didn't want another, even though it was probably what I would've ordered. Most other dishes were with pork, which I don't eat. Instead, I ordered chicken tenders, which is so NOT what I would EVER order, but I did on this day. The chicken was not overly greasy, and it had good flavor. The fries were even better. The poke bowl looked gorgeous, and the 3 others who got that said it was delicious, although not nearly as much salmon as they were hoping for... and it had way too much rice. (Those of us who had poke bowls from the previous night had loads of ahi tuna and the perfect amount of rice.) My husband enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger, something I'd never get. Not a fan of bacon AT ALL. My grandchildren got the chicken tenders like their grandma. :-) We ate our food to being serenaded with live music on the patio. Nice touch. I think most people come here to drink cocktails, although we didn't since we were about to make a long trek home up the I-5. I probably won't eat here again when/if we stay at this hotel, but it served its purpose when we needed it.

It has this dark but classy aesthetic and I was not prepared for that (in a good way). This restaurant has been here for about 2 years with different ownership and menu so I was excited to see what they had to offer. Hugo helped us with our order and he was very friendly and professional. We went ahead and ordered the ahi tuna taco, pork belly bao, garlic fries, the margharita pizza, the yuzu lobster pasta, and for drinks I got the virgin burning thyme. My friend got that and other drinks as well. Ahi tuna taco - 5/5 probably the best food item for the evening. The tuna was fresh, perfect amount of kick in its sauce, and the outter shell was perfectly crunchy. I think them replacing the shell with wonton was exceptional with the texture. Every bite was extremely satisfying. Pork Belly bao - 4/5 everything was delicious. The bow itself is bouncy and moist. There wasn't anything special about the sauce inside with the pork belly, but I would definitely give it a try at least once. A great portion with your friends or family as an appetizer. Garlic fries - 3/5 It was a bit underwhelming, but nothing horrible. I could not taste the garlic at all, but the fries itself was cooked to perfection with the outer being pretty crispy and inside being soft. Margharita pizza - 4/5 I really like the crust and the breading of this pizza. It was crispy and the pepperoni was cooked to perfection. I really like the small pepperoni because it gives an immense amount of flavor in each bite. The cheese and the tomato sauce was fine, but nothing special. Yuzu lobster pasta - 4/5 I wish I was able to taste more of the Yuzu since that's in the name of the dish, but I could not. If it was just called the lobster pasta I would say it's amazing. The tomatoes were perfect to lighten the entire dish with the heavy sauce and the pasta. The lobster was cooked fine. Other than that it was fine, but I would say either enhance the Yuzu flavor or remove it in the name of the dish. Burning thyme - 4.5/5 I really like the acid and the balance of sweetness and sour in this drink. Usually, I get skeptical when I make an alcoholic drink version because the bartender tends to over sweeten the drink, but this was not the case, and I enjoyed it a lot with our food.
