    Loved the experience here. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was chill. I sat outside in summer heat. However, a nice breeze and water misters added to the vibe. I definitely recommend trying this place if you never have. I ordered a Bavarian pretzel, and hot wings. Service was outstanding, my meal was fresh. I'm definitely a return customer.

    Finally got a chance to swing by and try Finney's Crafthouse out. This location is right in the heart of Orange circle so depending on the time of day, parking can be tough but thankfully, we arrived on a Saturday night before 7pm & was able to park in the parking structure off Lemon and Chapman with ease. It's a short walk to the restaurant so it was perfect. We were a party of 2 and we were able to be seated at a high top table right away. The vibes are casual and the ambiance was lively. There's plenty of tables and it looks like a great place for large groups. They even have an outdoor patio area. Service was excellent. Our waiter Jairo was very friendly, kind, and gave great recommendations. We ordered a few different items to try including the cheesesteak egg rolls which came out perfectly crispy & delicious. The mango habanero bone in hot wings were hot. It had a good balance of tang with a kick of heat. We had a side of sweet potato fries which were my personal favorite. They were thinly sliced so they had just the right texture of crispy & it was perfectly seasoned. The last thing we ordered were the crispy mahi mahi tacos. It was starred on the menu as a favorite but for us it wasn't our favorite. The fish was a bit dry & lacked seasoning. The slaw was a nice freshness to the fried fish but the firecracker aioli was not it. It did come with a little side of chips and salsa which were good. We did let Jairo know and he was quick to make it right. For our first time visiting, I'd say it was worth it and would likely come back again to try some of their other menu items.

    The food was great! We sat at the bar before the lunch rush came through on Saturday. Bar staff is attentive and quick to put in our orders after we sat down. Plenty of beer selections to choose from, but I actually opted for a dirty soda!! Diet Coke, vanilla cream, coconut and lime ‍ Good selection and variety of options on the menu, we want to come back to just try a mix of appetizers- they had a lot to pick from. We ordered a few apps and some entrees: Deviled eggs, Crispy Tuna, Southwest Chicken Bowl and Pepperoni Pizza. All were very tasty, we cleaned the plates! They have a lot of seating, as well as an outdoor patio. Plenty of TVs if you are wanting to watch a game. We will definitely be back for more options on the menu!

    I came here a few times already with my wife and this place is really good! Menu is pretty diverse and seems pretty busy the last few times we were here. Great place to come have a couple of drinks as well and watch some local sport games. There are also a few games in the back you can play. We started off with the carnitas nachos and it was pretty good. Very filling and a good amount for the both of us. No complaints there. For our main course, my wife ordered a couscous salad of some sort. She really enjoyed it. I chose the Wagyu Burger and this was expected from this restaurant. Juicy, artisan craft buns and definitely was not the first time we ordered it since we have came here a few times already. We even door dashed it one time haha. Other than that, great place to come and hang out especially on big sport days. Good vibes, great service as well. Lots of TV's which is perfect.

    ‍ Crowded restaurant with TVs everywhere throughout the room. We had Emma as our server and she was very nice and friendly. Her service was excellent. We had BBQ pizza, Hot Wings, and Coffee. The food was good and appropriate in temperature and taste. Good atmosphere and festive.

    Solid food and menu mainly consisting of tacos, burgers, pizzas, and various appetizers. Located near Orange circle, so parking was a bit difficult on a Saturday night! Curb parking and there's some lots behind the restaurant and scattered throughout Orange circle. Prices weren't too bad and drinks were good/strong! A5 Wagyu Burger ($17): pretty good, I got a side of truffle fries. I really like their ketchup, it has some extra seasoning to it that gave it a kick. Requested a side of ranch! They have a regular and large size for fries, opted for the large to share with my boyfriend Crispy Mahi Mahi Tacos ($15): my boyfriend enjoyed his meal, wish it came with 3 tacos instead of two though. Comes with a side of salsa and chips Bacon Deviled Eggs ($11): first time trying deviled eggs with some siracha and I can say it was pretty good! Chicken and Waffle Bites ($13): my boyfriend's highlight and favorite! The chicken bites were pretty big, super crispy, and NOT dry! Order came out to about $122, but we did order 2 old fashions with double shots! FYI they have electronic games to play at the table for $3. We made the mistake of tapping it and it was automatically billed to our table

    Alfonzo did a great job of helping us yesterday with our drinks, appetizers, food, dessert, and even a heater for the cool breeze out on the spacious patio. Our food was delicious and filling. We can't wait to return to try more items on the menu and more drinks from their Crafthouse list. Great meal. Thanks Finney's.

    The drinks here are horrible!!! I had the raspberry smash and the strawberry Cadillac margarita. Just strong and no flavor whatsoever. The brussel sprouts tasted burnt with sauce on them. The lettuce for my chicken lettuce wraps were brown. I do not recommend wasting your time or money here.

    Finneys is in the middle of Orange & was popular for dinner on a Thursday. We arrived around 6:30pm and saw a quite a few empty tables but a couple large parties waiting to be seated. Waited 20 minutes for a table of 2 but was served promptly after. The Finney burger was a decent burger. I really appreciated the toasted bun for some texture. Truffle fries had just a hint of truffle but seemed more like parmesan fries if I had to label it.

    I want to add that this place is such a vibe, especially for sporting events. Tommy and Atien are probably the best servers I have ever gotten at a restaurant. Their welcoming attitudes and helpful approach make any celebration even better.

    Finney's Crafthouse is a spot recommended to me by a friend for good drinks and apps. Came here with that friend on a Tuesday evening. It was pretty busy, probably because of the World Series and the Dodgers were playing. Regardless, we were seated quickly and service was good. We ordered a round of drinks and a couple of apps to share. My friend ordered the Line 39 Cabernet and I ordered the seasonal cocktail which is a Passionfruit Sour. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and Crispy Brussels to share. Our drinks came out first, followed by the food. The Passionfruit Sour was well-balanced. It wasn't too sweet or sour, and the passionfruit flavor can be tasted. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice came with five pieces. It was good. The rice was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The spicy tuna was okay, but didn't stand out. The Crispy Brussels were also good. The tamarind ponzo was tart yet salty. There were only a couple pieces of fig, which were an interesting add to the dish. Overall, giving Finney's Crafthouse a 4/5. There is lots of seating inside and there's a covered outdoor patio with seating. It can get noisy when sitting indoors, which makes it difficult to hear the people you are sitting with. Service is good, food is okay, and drinks are good. Would recommend for drinks.

    Coconut Shrimp
    Raven R.

    This place has a casual vibe. Lots of tv screens for sports fans. The staff is friendly and we were seated right away. We ordered a coconut strawberry sangria to drink and a coconut shrimp to start. For our main, we got the gary's pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Coconut Strawberry Sangria- The strawberry has a sweet and tangy flavor, balanced out by the creamy coconut. Very refreshing! Coconut Shrimp- Coconut coating is crisp. The Shrimp is fresh and meaty. Served with sweet chili sauce that tied the flavors together. Gary's Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey- Crust is crispy with a light chewiness in the middle. Cheese is hot and gooey. They give a generous amount of pepperoni. The hot honey gives a lovelt sweetness with a kick. Great experience overall!

In fact mine had the time of their life. Just don't be those parents and bring them after 7. It is a tiki bar after all and unless they follow the rules of Arrested Development then let them chill at home with grandma and grandpa or maybe their weird Uncle Joe. Drink- Delightful. Very fun themed glassware. Presentations were beautiful and well thought out. Our server did a great job at recommending drinks that built on top of the previous one. Food- the weakest part of the experience. While certainly not bad however when compared to the rest of the experience it just was a bit lacking. The Loco Moco looked very nice. The patty was quite dry though. Yes there's gravy but that's not an excuse for a dry patty. Mac salad was very nice. Stowaway fries were fun and tasty. It is smothered in gravy so be prepared to lose the crispy fries about halfway into the dish. All in all I (and my wife and kids(before7) and weird Uncle Joe) will be back.

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, though the indoor dining area is on the smaller side. The bar area is even more intimate, with only a few two-person tables and has a much darker, moodier atmosphere compared to the bright feel of the main dining room. I tried the Blueberry Scone ($5), Bacon Onion White Pizza ($20), and Truffle Mushroom Burger ($25). Unfortunately, the scone was the biggest disappointment as it was quite dry and I wasn't a fan of the walnuts. The pizza and burger, however, were both solid choices but nothing that stood out. My favorite part of the meal was actually the shoestring fries, which were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. Service was just okay. After taking our order, our server never came back to check on us, refill our water glasses, or see if we needed anything else. One thoughtful touch was having sinks located outside the restrooms for anyone who just wanted to wash their hands. That said, the restroom layout felt a bit awkward. The doors were difficult to maneuver, especially with the toilets located immediately inside, and the toilets themselves were noticeably low. Parking can be challenging on weekends, particularly during the breakfast and lunch rush. Most of the nearby street parking is metered and while we only paid about $3.40 for two hours, finding an available spot might take a bit of patience.

The bread was soft, the cranberry sauce delicious and the skinny fries came out hot & crisp. The sandwich was big I only ate half and took the rest home but I finished every last fry! The servicer wasn't friendly or smiled in the beginning but by the time I left she started to warmed up. Heard they have trivia night, and will come back during happy hour with friends.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) a salt shaker with 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

    Do you guys remember the infamous rainforest cafe that used to be at Disneyland? Well this place…read moregave those vibes and I really miss rain forest! This was such a gem of the place. The inside was decorated all throughout and made you feel like you were truly in a different place. It's dim, intimate and gave such a cool atmosphere! I heard this place is hard to get a reservation but one of my girlfriends was able to snag one the week prior! The inside of the restaurant is a smaller establishment so I can see why reservations would be difficult. They have a plethora of drinks! Mostly specializing in specialty rum cocktails. Ordered the ritual of the Queen which was a specialty drink with tequila and coconut rum. Very delicious! For food our table shared the Loco Moco and chicken katsu. Both delicious! There is also another smaller bar area behind closed doors that give speak easy vibes. I'm not sure how or if this place accommodates big groups as the tables are good for maybe 4-6 people. I'd definitely come back her

We had such a great time! Starting with the service, wonderful! The hosts are happy folks, with a bright smile. We were immediately greeted and seated, even though the party arrived separately. It was wonderful to get the freshness of the ac instead of waiting outside in the heat. As you enter the decor is so fun and captivating. The servers are super friendly and welcoming and they have so many drink options. The food is good and they did mention they have a rotating menu that changes for the season! We enjoyed everything, and it was fun to see everyone's drink as it arrived. You do have a timeframe, so we were bummed when it was almost time to go because we were really enjoying our time there, but good reason to come back again!

    Love this place. Nice service, nice food, very interesting…read moredrinks. But they had not fix the Lorem ipsum text on menu =p

    (Drank/Snacked 06/27/2026 SA @ 10:00pm): This was a monstro feat as we all ended up in a beast of a…read morewhale's belly for drinks! After our party of six chatted over cocktails and preyed on pupus, we moved to a "secret" room tucked in the back of Stowaway and walked into a Belly Of The Beast. The founders and co-owners of Stowaway, Leonard Chan and Dominic Iapello, created this extension to the tiki bar with a wildly interesting Pinocchio theme and the famed encounter with Monstro the whale all the while serving the same offerings in Stowaway but with also an exclusive limited menu just for this adventure. With its proximity to Disneyland and its Enchanted Tiki Room, with the very niche underground-like society of tiki culture they found a consistent customer base and the thrill of island escapism through colorful cocktails, pleasurable pupus, tropical trimmings, and nostalgic know-how. How would my belly handle the beastly drinks concocted here!? PURCHASE(S) Gepetto's Last Words ($16.00): Intrigued by the cocktail's name, this elixir was crafted with Fid Street Gin, tangerine, creme de violette, lemon, and cucumber, it was a citrusy refreshing sweet drink that was decorated with bright yellow petals. It was nice, but for whatever reason it just didn't quite hit the spot. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($9.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the catsup wasn't needed but used. SERVICE While in Stowaway, we informed our male server to let us know when we were allowed to enter the belly. Once inside and situated, we had the place and bartender to ourselves. After we all perused the menu, we placed our orders, and everything arrived within ten minutes. The rest of the time was spent chatting, picture taking, and our bartender checked in on us also giving a Dole Whip taster. All was casual, chill, and somewhat on island time - aloha and mahalo! PARKING (FREE): They shared a medium-sized private lot with several other businesses who were closed at this time with plenty of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE "Hidden" inside Stowaway which was located within a strip mall, the entire theme was based on the Pinocchio story, the interlude in time spent inside Monstro, and as we entered it felt like the beginning of the Disneyland "Storybook" ride as you road a canal boat into the mouth and sharp teet of a whale. There were several marionettes (appropriate and non-appropriate) that hung from the ceiling and belly walls, along with other Disneyesque memorabilia, a few sitting booths, and a tiny bar at the end of the roo. No natural lighting whatsoever while an assortment of extremely low-lit electric lights and table candles glowed. There were no TVs while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Although I was actually dressed appropriately for the occasion in an aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops, this place was totally casual, so a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops would suffice. OVERALL Belly Of The Beast was an adventurous fun evening with friends, it left me feeling childlike with the need to watch "Pinocchio", and I couldn't wait to return to try more of their awesome-soundling elixirs. I generally loved all-things Disneyana, and this new wrinkle, albeit probably not approved by the mouse ears brass, caught my fancy. My one drink was tasty but just didn't hit the right spot, the onion rings were very good, the prices were a tad elevated, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was friendly and professional. They had an extremely limited menu, and there was some doubt whether or not ordering from the Stowaway menu was an option. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
