Came here during the World Cup and it turned out to be one of the best places to watch a match. The atmosphere was lively without feeling overcrowded, and there were plenty of TVs from every angle so you never missed a moment of the game. The beer selection was impressive, with lots of choices on tap, and the food was much better than expected for a sports bar. Everything came out quickly even during the busy match hours. What stood out most was the crowd. Soccer fans, families, locals, and visitors all mixed together, creating the kind of energy that makes watching the World Cup special. You could hear cheers erupt across the room every time a big play happened. read more

This place is awesome. From the staff's attentiveness, the quality of the food, or the thoughtful drink menu, everything hits perfectly. It's a great space to bring family and folks with different dietary restrictions with a great outdoor space. It's nice to have a spot that can tick all of those boxes. And a special shoutout to general manager Troy Barton who went above and beyond to make sure the experience was great. You know a place is awesome when it starts from the top down. If you're in the area, go. read more

Stopped in for a drink and ended up finding a new favorite spot. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day. The highlight for me was the blueberry beer it was absolutely fantastic. Smooth, refreshing, and packed with just the right amount of blueberry flavor without being overpowering. Easily one of the most unique and enjoyable beers I've had in a while. Whether you're a craft beer fan or just looking for a great local bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll absolutely be back for another blueberry beer soon! read more

OC LOCAL TAPROOM The taco platter was good, I so wish they had a wing plate tho. The sliders were good, I was a little disappointed that the fried ice cream was not deep fried but was covered in like frosted flake kind of. It was still good though! The place is more self serve but the cashier was nice, which is expected since it's a bar area. Overall very family friendly and good for watching the games even if you don't drink! read more

Staff is great! Food was a surprise to be so delicious. Wasn't sure what to except- purposely read no reviews before trying this place. It's a little loud- I think it's the acoustics, can only imagine during football. And the Monster Bloody Mary for only $15, it's honestly a work of art and so good!!! read more

What a cool spot! I came here for a book event. I am not a drinker so I wasn't sure how I was gonna in the ambiance but it was extremely fun! As you walk in, it looks like your typical sports bar. Open concept, tvs on the wall, its perfect for larger groups. The event I attended was held in their little patio area. Its such a cute area. It also has a tv, a ton of tables. Also great for large groups. This joint is owned by locals and they support locals too. Most of their beers are by local brewers, although they also have a couple national ones. They are all for supporting local businesses. The food was delicious! You order and pay through your phone. I had their potato taquitos and omg they were so good! Totally recommend them. Overall I will be back in the future for sure. read more

Decided to meet at this place for an end of the year reunion. Considering we had friends coming from Oceanside, Los Angeles, Long Beach and I.E., we heavily relied on the photos and yelp reviews for which brewery to visit, and thank goodness this place did not dissappoint. We had a few requirements which was a kitchen, family friendly and aesthetically look cool. Yes to all three. I loved the indoor and outdoor setting. The amount of tv's was epic for any game! They had a small grass space for cornhole. They had some games inside too. Best part of this taproom was the ordering! I love that each person was able to order at their convenience with their phone. None of the splitting of the bill hassle. None of the waiting for each person to figure out what they were ordering. We were there for a few hours and everyone was able to order at their pace, several times. They also had heaters outside which was great during these cold nights. Food was great. Several drink options from cocktails to their beers on tap. Staff was so friendly. Honestly, nothing but good things to say about this place. This may become our middle point meeting spot when the friends reunite! read more

Food - Mexican is on tap with good tacos and sliders. I wish I could have had more. This is a local tap house. Think of it as a local brew dispensary. Novel idea! And they do feature local brewery from SoCal. Lots of tap! Service - good and plenty enough. Ambiance - pretty big place with indoor and outdoor seating in a somewhat hidden gem plaza. Verdict - if you like brew, you'll love this place. It feels homey and it feels spacious. A must try for a lazy weekday or weekend pub joint hangout. read more

This brewery has a great selection of beers, wines, and craft cocktails, and they don't carry mainstream brands like Bud Light or Modelo. read more

Recently came here for Happy Hour. I had the Peach Seltzer and some tacos. I was actually looking for the Berry Seltzer that I had a few weeks ago but was told by the bar that flavors change frequently and they don't always have the same. I do, however, like the Peach Seltzer. Just wish it was much colder. The two el pastor tacos, and the chicken and carnitas tacos were all good. They were very small but tasty. read more

We heard it could get pretty crowded so we went at 5:30 on Friday July 17. No problem getting a table but by the time we left around 7, it was pretty full. Ordering drinks/food was pretty confusing. It was hard to read the beer menu on the screens as they were high up and the font was too small. I imagine it would be really hard to see if there were more people hanging around the bar. Anyway, I decided to order drinks directly from the bar rather than trying the qr code ordering method. Bartender was very friendly and helpful. Beer was good and I appreciated there were a few size pours. Food- again, pretty confusing to order. We didn't see the crack dinner on the qr menu so I went to the counter (fyi, it's at the very bottom of the qr menu). Food arrived very fast. Food was good except I was pretty disappointed with the crack dinner. Not at all like it was advertised (screenshot of IG post is NOT what we got). There were 4 tiny slices of meat that barely covered the street sized tortillas. Pretty disappointed considering the difference between what was shown and what we got. The best thing about the place- staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and nice. FOLLOW UP ON REVIEW 7/23/26: Patrick followed up with GM Troy whom I just spoke to. He was very sincere about making me happy and keeping me as a customer. It all worked out in the end. read more

OC Local Taproom - Crack dinner shown here is not at all what we were served on Fri.Got about 1/3 the amount of meat and it was much more cooked/dry. - Sports Bars Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Really cool open air spot with tons of tables and TVs playing all the sports! Bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. SO many craft beers on tap including ISM, greencheek, etc. with something for everyone! IPAs, seltzers, etc. Wide variety of food available. The pretzel was huge and soft! Loved the steak burrito with tender skirt steak, peppers, and cheesy goodness with bomb salsas! Highly recommend. I've seen the owner all over town and he's really cool too- super nice guy! Highly recommend! They have an outdoor patio with cornhole, etc. too! read more

The ole wifey and came by after dinner to get a good drink to settle our stomachs and we 'settled' aka found a little amazing spot called oc local taproom to finish the night off. There were plenty of beers and alternatives to choose from and I was very surprised to see that this place is a legit sports bar with tvs on both sides for your viewing pleasure. If you want to keep up with football or baseball with the friends and family at least from what I saw last night, it's a great place to go with great weekday deals too. We ordered from the table and the drinks came out super quick too. The drinks were great and if you're trying to find a laid backs and chill place to hang out, you should definitely give it a try. Lets go!! read more

I hadn't been here in a few years but my friends and I wanted to watch the Mexico game and this place was great!! So many TVs to see from any which way you turn. The service was also great I really have to hand it to the staff they were getting everyone's food and drinks out super quick and we're all super nice! My husband and friends really enjoyed their tacos (it was also taco Tuesday so they were only $3 each!) and I liked my smash burger a lot. I would definitely come back and if you're going to watch a game come at least an hour early to get a table! It's first come first serve. read more

My favorite thing here is the beef short rib tacos. I have yet to try the short rib on anything else, but look forward to trying it in the burrito someday. This time around, the short rib wasn't as tender as I remember it being the first time I had it, but maybe it was just an off day. Bummer that the short rib tacos aren't offered at a discounted rate for taco Tuesday! I ordered the tacos to-go and the young lady who helped me was very nice. read more

I will give this place three stars for selection and location. However, the clientele is much to be desired. This is definitely a place for people who don't like beer. I know that sounds strange but go there on a Friday or Saturday night and you will totally get what I mean. The outside patio has kids galore, while the parents are inside ignoring them. I don't even know why music or TVs are playing because no one is paying attention. Then there's the food. Extremely overpriced for what you get. It's like the owners know they're actually in Laguna Niguel. My advice: go to Taco Bell across the street. read more

I wanted to take a moment to write our dearest thank you for such an incredible event at OC local Taproom. We celebrated our daughter's first birthday party there Saturday the 17th and it exceeded our expectations. Every single guest told me how incredible the food was, it was truly delicious and love the options! The staff was the star of the show, nearly every time someone had finished their drink, a staff member was asking if they'd like their glass cleared and then shuttling more glasses out for our pitchers. It truly felt like we had our own dedicated team the entire time and I think that is what made all the difference! We wouldn't change a single thing about the event and we're so happy with how everything turned out! I think some of our guests will be new regulars for sure too! Thank you again and we will see you all in the future read more

OC Local is a great spot to grab a beer and watch the game. They have an extensive list of brews on tap, and they offer wine, cocktails, and seltzers as well. Their indoor space is inviting, and their outdoor beer garden space is family friendly and perfect for a daytime or evening hangout. During my last visit, I ordered their 3 street taco plate with achiote chicken. The tacos were topped with pickled red onion and served with ample amounts of Spanish rice and Peruvian beans. During football season, they play multiple games on the indoor TVs, and they even label the particular game under the TV it's being played on. You'll probably be able to watch the game you're looking for. All in all, OC Local is recommended to everyone. read more
