Steve and I had Rōm Beer again after some time has passed and we are still impressed with it as we…read morewere last time. We had two different beers this time around to diversify the beer experience and we liked them both! The first beer we had upon our return was the Off The Grid IPA. This was a refreshing IPA and helped a slight craving for IPA'S that I have been going through lately. Things to look in the flavor profile are hoppy, piney, bitterness, citrus and tropical. Moving on from there I had one of my favorite lager types, a Mexican Lager. The name of this one was De La Playa. Flavor features with this beer are malty, perhaps a bit biscuity. Very crushable and light bodied which makes this a beer one that's easy to have more than one of. A very pleasant return to Rōm and may more return trips be in the future!

I'm not really a "fast food" gal except for In-N-Out. With that being said, Small's Smash Club is…read moremy new favorite, almost surpassing In-N-Out for me at the moment. While Small's burgers are no doubt delicious and one of the better smash burgers I've had, it's really their side offerings of fries (leagues above In-N-Out's) and onions rings cooked in tallow that really wins me over. While I've only had their burger as is (grilled onions, american cheese, pickles and smalls sauce) you can add jalapeños and raw onions to spruce it up as well as adding up to three total patties from the standard single. I'm fine with a single and my husband likes a double. This place is really onto something and they're moving on up with their second location soon to open in Laguna Beach in the former "Dizz's As Is" space - they will have cocktails as this location only offers beer/wine.

They were as good as I remember the first time I had them. I even got the rest of my family hooked on their fish tacos. The flavor profile is right up my alley. And, since my last visit, I noticed that the chips they used were much better. They've listened and improved on the chips. No more stale chips here. In fact, they really complemented the Yellowtail Ceviche. I thought this was incredible! I didn't get a photo of it because we shared it among our party. Let's just say, this will be on my next order the next time I return. We also tried their Frozen Lemonade, which was perfect for the hot afternoon. It's a bit pricey but it's not far from the prices of regular, non-frozen drinks. Definitely good to have especially on a warm day! The service was great. And I'm just glad we all enjoyed our food here. This is now going to be one of my favorite stops to grab a bite in San Juan Capistrano. Highly recommend!

My wife found this brewery after having a local bite at a place nearby. We were immediately greeted…read moreby the bartender who was extremely helpful in explaining the beer or seltzer profiles. The brewery was "attached" to the pizza spot next door by a small opening which allows them to pass the food through. I def will be trying the pizza next time we are there. There was plenty of seating and a small patio in back for the pups. The beer and seltzers were very flavorful. Overall a great spot to go hang for a beer and chill.

We sat at a table near the street and it was perfect for people watching and chilling.

It attracts a really chill crowd: there was literally a patron with her newborn. Very family friendly, warm, and positive. I went here for trivia night, and we had a total blast. There's no food at the brewery since it's a smaller space and it's really not in a location built for heavy duty kitchen work, but they were totally cool with us bringing food in and even gave us recommendations for local spots! I'm not even a beer drinker but I enjoyed trying their different offerings and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them! They even have a little mini arcade setup and cards against humanity. They put a ton of thought into curating a space for community and good old fashioned fun. Restrooms were SO clean and there were a men's and women's room which feels so rare at bars! The women's room even had multiple stalls, which was so convenient. Pitchers of water were free (and quite frankly, the water was delicious), and there was fun, clean music playing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun place for all ages to enjoy. It's hard to find a place that's welcoming to non-drinkers and younger people, while also still offering plenty of alcoholic options. So many establishments strive to create the third place, and Left Coast Brewing Company hits it on the head.

I recently attended a comedy show at this brewery with my dad and it was by far the worst comedy…read moreshow I've ever seen. The "comedians" spent the majority of the time talking about dick and pussy in the most crude, low-effort way possible. It wasn't clever or edgy--it was just lazy and disgusting. I left early and have zero interest in ever returning. What makes it worse is that the brewery allowed this kind of show in their space. The staff should be embarrassed that they booked (or allowed) something this low-quality and inappropriate. Service wasn't great either. When we went to order drinks, the bartender pointed us to the "order here" spot at the bar. We stood right at the front of that line for a solid five minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Overall, a disappointing experience from start to finish. Won't be back. I almost wish I could go back to the brewery and get my money back, but I know that's not possible.

Looking for the brewery even at lunchtime was challenging behind warehouses. Finally saw it by asking around. The Cubano Sandwich was decent. Just a tad bland of pork, ham, cheese (?), pickles.

A nice outdoor seating is beside the brewery along the waterway.
