    Banana clip

    It was 5 o'clock somewhere lol This bar has prime real estate inside the great, Anaheim packing district. (The Anaheim packing district has private parking and it's easy to find a spot during the week. On the weekend, it's another story) You basically run right into the hammer bar when you enter from the main entrance. It's nothing fancy, gives off hipster vibes and is cool without trying to be cool. The two bartenders Josh and Xavier were amazing I came here around prime lunch time. I went and asked one of the bartenders, since they do not serve food if it was ok to bring some pastries inside and eat them with my drink. (There's a pastry place right next to the hammer bar) They said since it was a weekday and not busy I could bring something in. So I went and grabbed some food and sat there while drinking my drinks. They have bar seating and then they have hightop tables as well I asked them for some recommendations. Josh and Xavier both recommended The zombie (kept warning me that it was extremely strong. So I stayed away from that. Even though I'm confident I could handle it) The banana clip The pool noodle (I told them I needed it to be pretty / cool looking too, lol) I went with the pool noodle -Plantaray Pineapple Rum, Rhum J.M. Agricole, guava, apricot, lime and cava. AND, let me tell you, this was delicious AND looked amazing 10/10 Then I went with the banana clip- Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon, banana, mandarine, cinnamon, pineapple and lemon. 10/10, I loved it To be honest all the drinks sounded great. If I wasn't planning on going to other places and walking around the packing district, I would have just stayed at this bar and had a few more lol. Prices were extremely reasonable as well The service that Josh and Xavier provided was phenomenal 10/10. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I had They also have mocktails, beer and wine. I highly recommend coming here for a drink if you are coming to the Anaheim Packing district. Or stay here for a while. I could have definitely stayed longer and tried more. I'll definitely be back next time I am in the area (On the menu it says they offer gift cards. So it would be perfect for any friends that live by this place and appreciate a cool bar)

    We often close out our nights at the Anaheim Packing district with a stop by Hammer Bar. We visited again recently, and had an awesome time as usual. I had the Scam Pool Honeys cocktail (Madre Mezcal, Pomegranate, Ancho, Pineapple, Lemon, Cacao, $16). It has a great flavorful smokiness in addition to a light sweetness from the pomegranate. It also has a light heat from the ancho. Really solid cocktail. She has been on a negroni kick lately, and ordered theirs ($16). Great as always, with the classic orange peel garnish and bitter profile. We decided to share the Zombie (Various Rums, Hammer's Mix, Pineapple, Grenadine, Absinthe, $19). Everybody's zombie is a little different, and theirs is great. It is flavorful, well balanced, a little lush, and not overly boozy. Apparently, somebody else ordered a Scam Pool Honeys and never picked it up. One of our bartenders graciously offered it to me on the house, and I happily accepted. I offered an extra tip which he refused. They are always adding new creations to their cocktail menu, so there is often something new to try. Follow their Instagram for announcements and ingredients of their new drinks. Shout out to Daniel, Josh, and Joel who were so great and fun.

    We came here to the packing house for cinco de mayo and we were waiting for our table so we decided to go to the bar to wait for our table, my Ate (older cousin) got a spicy margarita... and since j don't drink alcohol I saw the had a zero proof section so I tried their house ginger beet which I have to say is the best ginger beer that I have ever had hands down. Bartender made our drinks quite fast and the atmosphere here was pretty darn cool! Would definitely come back for the ginger beer on a date night... but next time I will ask for light ice.

    Drinks looked and tasted good! You order at the bar to get your drink. Service was meh, probably because it was so loud and busy. Ordered the Banana Clip and the Pool Noodle. Banana clip was amazing and the pool noodle came in a cool Chinese takeout box. Check this place out whenever you're nearby the Anaheim Packing District.

    Brought some oysters from wooden pearl over to eat with our drinks for date night

    When I say this place has good cocktails I mean this place has INCREDIBLE cocktails. Like the type of cocktails you'd expect from a super boujee restaurant. So tasty and constantly changing up the drink menu. The service is great too especially for how busy they get during the weekends since it's in the packing house. It's a such a fun environment. 10/10 guys!

    Basically my neighborhood bar for last 5 years. These guys arent regular bartenders they are PHD mixologists. They take their time to make sure all the ingredients and drinks are perfected before serving you. Special shouts out to Tim the tool man.. Daniel.. josh manager Zach and Meme. I recommend going during Happy hour and weekdays because it gets super busy.

    My favorite craft cocktail bar in Orange County. High quality, stiff, and fresh ingredients are used to make the drinks. If you don't see anything on the menu that you like, you can tell the bartender what alcohol and flavor profile you like and they'll make something for ya. It's a small bar located in the Anaheim Packing District on the 2nd floor.

    The amazing staff at Hammer kept me well fed, drank and entertained throughout all of the Olympics. It's a niche spot in the Packing House that is friendly & delightful. Josh runs a great crew that keeps you chuckling & enjoying the people watching in Anaheim. Make sure to get involved withe the crew at Hammer while you figure out the plethora of lunch options.

    Nice space with plenty of room

    I made a quick stop at this bar as I was on my way to meet with some friends. The space is very lively. The music is great and the bartenders were really quick. The menu is not too large, which makes it easy to pick your drink and just have a nicer experience overall. They had plenty of seatingand a good view of the giant TV. Overall, I would really recommend this place for anyone looking to make a quick stop on their night owl

    Amazing. Can't rave enough about this spot. Laid back environment, delicious drinks, SUPERIOR Guest Service! Went here on a Thursday night for a friend's birthday - total of 4 ladies just out after work for a couple drinks. Had started at Strong Water and the Birthday Girl had never been to the Anaheim Packing House so we headed there. After a loop through, we landed at Hammer (with a charcuterie board). After a bit of hanging out with a drink each, and a ton of laughing, this guy joined our table and convo to chat up mainly the birthday girl. However, he hung out a bit too long and wasn't necessarily getting the subtle hints to end the convo. BUT, truly was not being creepy or rude - just an over chatty (potentially flirty with the birthday girl), and possible drunk guy out with his brother who had said hi but kept to himself at the bar. What stood out to me - and why I HAD to write this review - were how the 2 gentlemen bartenders handled this situation for us 4 women. Not only was the bar busy, but they noticed the guy join us and not leave us so after about 15 minutes, one of the bartenders - Max - came to give one of the girls her check and asked her if all was ok and if the guy was bothering us. He was very subtle and discrete about this as the 2 other ladies and the guy were busy chatting and didn't notice. We let him know we were good but appreciated him checking in. It really did mean a lot! Now, after maybe another 15 ish mins (or at least felt that way), the other bartender-Josh (the Asian Josh as there are 2 Josh's who work there)-stopped by once more with what looked like a tab but was really checking in once more. He had mentioned something along the lines of people chatting but wants to make sure we do not ever feel uncomfortable to where we want to leave and he knows Max checked on us but it's been some time so he just wanted to check in on us again and if there is anything we need him to do. We still didn't because again, the guy was not being rude or creepy - and I personally nicely went to nicely end the convo but the birthday girl is chatty herself so she even kept it going. But I have never, ever experience this kinda of situational awareness from my bartenders and I want to make sure it is called out. It just makes me feel extra safe and comfortable and welcomed going to Hammer Workshop & Bar and I wanted everyone to know about this exceptional service! Thank you again Josh and Max ! You truly are amazing and I can't wait to visit again soon!

    It was super packed on a Saturday night around 7pm. Then it died down around 8ish. We loved the seats we got because we got to see the big screen and they had a football game going on. There was also a very neat band playing and we could see and enjoy the view. You can bring your own food like from other food places and sit inside the bar with it. I ordered the atole frío and it was pretty good. drinks are $16-18 dollars.

    Josh gets down with the drinks, such a dope bartender. He never misses when making me this drink. Truly appreciate you brotha

    Great place for a drink. No food is served. But they let you pick food from the other places in the food court. Which is great becuase each one of you in the group can choose a different cuisine. Definitely my kind of place. I had the fire drill which contains repasado and some kind of spice. It's got a nice kick. Great way to spend an evening. We ordered food from the black sheep next door. Grilled cheese. Yum! Parking is mostly full but there is valet parking for $7 which is perfect. Must try if you are in Disneyland or in the vicinity.

    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

    Date night for mom and dad away from the kids type of night. Very mellow and chill. Small but cozy…read more I loved the Gatsby decor. We chose to be seated at the bar. Service was decent. I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. 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.

We were escorted inside and our hostess immediately started introducing us to the lore of the place: a capsized ship with the space decorated using pieces recovered from the wreckage. The room is VERY dimly lit, and we actually stood near the entrance for a moment while our eyes adjusted, but honestly that just added to the atmosphere. On the way to our reservation in the Captain's Quarters, our hostess gave us a little tour of the main room and even pointed out the bathrooms for later. Once we sat down, we met our bartender, Drew, who was fantastic. He walked us through the different menus, explained the food and cocktails, and really added to the experience throughout the night. I'm normally a whiskey drinker, so I started with the Southeast Spice Trade while my girlfriend ordered the Pineapple Whipped Colada. Both were delicious, but half the fun was watching Drew make them. You could really see the amount of care that went into the craft and presentation of every drink. For food, we ordered the chicken katsu and ahi poke nachos. I was especially excited when the nachos arrived and I realized they were made with wonton chips. I'm a sucker for wonton chips, so those were an immediate win. We obviously couldn't stop at one round of drinks, so next came the Tarobi Colada and Zombie King. Drew told us a little about the history of the Zombie King and gave us a lesson on rum, so I had to try it, plus it came in one of the coolest mugs I've ever seen. The Zombie King was easily my favorite drink of the night. The flavor was fantastic from beginning to end and dangerously smooth. I didn't even realize how much it had hit me until I stood up. Even leaving was part of the experience. We finally checked out the bathroom and the door has what feels like TEN different locks on it. It genuinely felt like I was locking myself inside the bathroom of an old pirate ship. Between the storytelling, incredible atmosphere, Captain's Quarters, food, cocktails, and especially the service from Drew, this was such a memorable night. Strong Water completely commits to its theme without sacrificing the quality of the drinks. Absolutely an experience worth having, and we can't wait to come back.

    We have returned to Strong Water several times in recent months, so it's time for an update. We…read morefirst returned in early June since they introduced some new cocktails and food to the menu. The other visits were just because this is by far our number one place. Recently added cocktails: Buzzin' Jungle Bird (Jamaican gold rum, coffee infused campari, dark rum, pineapple, lime, hemp orgeat, cane, Angostura bitters). This is a great spin on a jungle bird, with some complexity and coffee flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of coffee, but it is at a good level. Chi Chi (Whey vodka, pineapple, lime, date, honey, coconut, salt). This has a great creamy texture which I believe comes from the dairy component of the whey vodka. It is well balanced with some sweetness, and I could taste the coconut and date flavors. Lapu Lapu (Asian rum, Jamaican rum, dry curacao, lime, orgeat, demerara). It is juicy, well balanced, and served with a flaming sugar cube on top. This is the cocktail they chose to serve at their booth at Tiki Oasis recently which says a lot, try it! Thai Me Down (Barbados rum, coconut liqueur, papaya, lemon, demerara, Thai basil). It is served old-fashioned style, and was light and perfectly balanced. Those Thai inspired flavors were all noticeable. Demerara Dry Float. They added and took this one off the menu as of now. It was a balanced light citrusy drink which was served with a delicious sidecar of Hamilton 151 rum infused with banana chips. I sipped half of that and mixed the rest into the cocktail. It was served with a beautiful ice shell. I'm guessing it was too labor intensive, and took up a lot of space in their freezers. Recently added food: Ahi Poke Nachos (marinated ahi tuna, masago, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, furikake, green onion). This is such a tasty starter with so many textures and flavors. I love that the nachos are wontons too, and not just chips. Crab & Cream cheese wontons. Nice crisp wontons with a good amount of crab and cream cheese inside. The chili sauce and spicy mayo adds another layer of flavor, and there is a slice of jalapeno on top for a little heat. Pan-Seared Scallops. This was an excellent lighter entrée. The four scallops are cooked perfectly, and even have a little dollop of caviar on top. I liked the mix of veggies and really liked the bed of potato puree underneath. Steak & Eggs (8oz hanger steak, crying tiger glaze, Nam Jim Jaew sauce, sunny eggs, rice). I normally wouldn't try steak & eggs for dinner, but I can't resist a good hanger steak. It was cooked a perfect medium rare and I appreciate that it was pre-sliced. The crying tiger glaze and sauce were so flavorful. There's plenty of rice to soak up any left egg yolk or sauce. Recently added desserts: Dubai Chocolate Lava Cake. This was excellent, but it's definitely sweet and rich. Save some room if you plan on ordering this. Ube Flan Cake. I'm usually not a fan of flan, but I have to try anything with ube and this was good. The cake had nice ube flavor, and I liked that the flan was a little firm since the looser custardy/gelatinous texture is not for me. This is definitely a lighter dessert than the lava cake. It's not a new drink, but I also had the Naval Grog for the first time. (Lost Voyage rum, overproof white rum, allspice dram, lime, grapefruit, demerara, honey). It is boozy with nice spice notes. Other repeat cocktails enjoyed were Tales from the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Missionary's Downfall, Agave Parrot, Singapore Sling, and Serpents Grasp all of which are excellent. Their cocktails, food, ambiance, and service are always top notch. Thank you Ying, Erica, Greg, Jordan, Joey, Iris, Karen, Kyle, Joy, and John for your wonderful hospitality during our visits. We will return again soon!

    We love Puesto and always enjoy our food, but last night was one for the record books. Not just…read morebecause the food was delicious, as usual, but because we had the incredible fortune of having Scotty as our server. Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

    Food was so good! We basically tried everything. We had the salsa and guacamole flight. Loved their…read morechips too! We had the chicken taquitos, potato flautas, short rib enchilada, steak taco, fried fish taco, carnitas and the chicken tacos! The only thing that took away a star because we had to stand and wait for 15 minutes to be sat. We had a reservation that I made five days ago. They say other parties before us and we had to still stand and wait even with a reservation The restaurant itself is so beautiful! Great spot for dinner with the family!

    We've had dinner and drinks here many times, but this was our first time having breakfast…read more Our host, Lisa, was very friendly. We've met her here a few times before, and it was nice to see her again. Our server was very nice as well. I had the Lomi-Lomi Salmon Sandwich, and it was really good! It was also much bigger than I expected. We were here on D23 day, starting from the park opening time. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure were both so crowded, so having a nice, quiet, and relaxing breakfast was exactly what we needed. We had a great time and really enjoyed our breakfast!

    This review is for the Trader Sam's mixology seminar. I haven't visited during regular hours yet…read more The inside of Trader Sam's was closed for a few months for renovations earlier this year. They have mixology seminars periodically, and I snagged spots for a friend and me a few days after they reopened. The cost is ~$180 per person and it is held inside the main bar area. They will also validate your parking. Arrive at least fifteen minutes before the start time at the check-in sign near the entrance. When it's time to enter, grab any available seat at the bar or any of the tables. Everything for making the drinks is set up ahead of time. You mix and garnish a cocktail and a mocktail. Kelly Merrell who is well known in tiki/cocktail circles guided the seminar. For an introductory mixology seminar, the format was great with a lot of basic cocktail education and interaction with the attendees. I've been making cocktails at home for a while and even picked up some helpful tips. The "Barrel of Mischief" cocktail we made had six different spirits, which was perfect for describing the different characteristics and some background on each. After mixing up the cocktail, you garnish it however you like from various options provided. The cocktail was very good. Even with all those different spirits, it was very balanced and not boozy and had some complexity. We also made a basic mocktail with lemon, simple syrup, and elderberry tonic. It was even garnished with a cute Mickey Mouse cucumber slice. Apparently, bars have been paying a lot more attention to mocktails lately, which is great for people who don't drink but still want to get the same experience. Once the seminar inside has completed, there is a reception for attendees across from the entrance in the Tangaroa Terrace outdoor patio area. The area was reserved and has tables, a large fireplace, and live music. We were served ahi tuna bites, Hawaiian fried rice, and a Taiyaki waffle fish filled with ice cream. We were also served a Miehana cocktail. Kelly and other Trader Sam's staff mingled with guests. Each attendee also received a Trader Sam's 15th anniversary mug a few weeks before its general release. I had a great time, learned a few tips, and I finally got to see the inside of Trader Sam's. Since reopening, they are now walk-in/waitlist only and no reservations, and they said it's actually easier to get in now. I'm looking forward to returning during regular hours for food and cocktails.
