Great neighborhood pub :) great food and drinks, cozy. I didn't like the first time I went a year ago. Gave it another chance ..This time I loved it & I heard there's new owner. read more

5 stars New staff, new menu, All of which was very refreshing. Loved the food, the service and the creamy pints (Probably the best Guinness in Orange County) Can't wait to come back. Keep up the great work. read more

Just had my annual Christmas party here and it was incredible! We have been doing this for 10 years now and they are so accommodating and such great service from Jenny! Jenny hands down is one of the best bartenders and servers! She was on point and so attentive that exceeded our expectations. She was so kind and patient with our large group. Thank you Jenny so very much for your impeccable service. read more

Service is impeccable. Food is great. Don't miss the iced Irish coffee. Ask for Mags. She is fantastic. You will enjoy yourself at this neighborhood gem. read more

Food was great and loved our server Allyson and the bar tender Cassie! Will definitely be back again!

Just enjoyed a lovely chipotle salad at the bar. The salad was light and refreshing with a nice spice. Mags provided friendly, prompt service with a smile. This will be a regular spot for a nice working lunch. read more

We got the Brussels appetizer which is very delicious! Unfortunately this was about the only good thing about our visit. Our waiter, Jeremy was very cold and emotionless and said maybe a total of 10 words to us (not an exaggeration, like seriously 10 words). We waited 10 minutes at a fairly empty time. Our first interaction: He came up and said "Hello. You can scan this to see drinks.", gave us extra silverware and left. Second interaction: He walked up and stood in front of us without saying anything. I ordered drinks and an appetizer. Third interaction: He asked if the brussels came out and then promptly left. Fourth interaction: I asked him for the check as we decided not to stay. Did not feel welcome at all. Jeremy made us feel like we were inconveniencing him by being there. Would not go back if Jeremy was going to be my waiter. read more

The lobster bisque was delicious. The wife loved the crab cakes and Brussels sprouts. Great value on the steak and chips, cooked perfectly.

Nice pub atmosphere. Excellent food. Good service. We really enjoyed the pork belly scallop appetizer. The steak was also delicious - it was coffee crusted then sliced, served on a bed of fingerling potatoes with a spicy creamy sauce. Service was good, but could have been more attentive - drinks were empty on a few occasions, but overall a very good dining experience. read more

We did not have a good experience a Pub Thirty Two. Food was cold and flavorless. This should be a beer and water only establishment.

We had amazing food and service from John and the bar staff a few weeks ago. We are so lucky to have great poutin and old fashioneds within walking distance of our house. read more

Just wow! Amazing breakfast, both the lobster hollandaise and the P23 were exceptional. Then we watched the cocktails being crafted and had to try one - highly recommend the blood orange margarita and the spicy Bloody Mary. They have a brunch that looked incredible too - you'll need a rez for that. Plenty of room on the patio if they're booked. Cheers! read more

Fix everything! The staff is rude and ruined an important event, won't go back! Food is interesting on paper, eat the menu it's likely better, but probably dirty, mine was read more

This place exceeded my expectations when it came to food! We all were very satisfied with our food. I also liked how low key it was, chill ambiance and they were playing the football games! I knocked off a star bc there was only one waitress working 7 tables. She was good and polite but she was rushing back and forth, had to get her attention a few times for service. Also I don't really know why our cocktails took so long when there were 2 dudes behind it.. read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times and each time the food has been great. This past saturday, my friend and I stuck around longer than usual for more drinks because the music was awesome! The musician played a wide range of songs and took requests from the guests. It definetly boosted the vibe in the place. Hoping for more repeats of good entertainment! read more

Pub Thirty Two - Live Music - Gastropubs Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Pub 32 is very close to our house, and we like to come often. Food is terrific, but the main reason why we come is the service! Honestly, service is the key to any successful service business. Our favorite server, Jeremy, always gives us the best service! He is kind, quick, perceptive and attentive. He is always paying attention and is the right amount of readiness and care. We try to visit when he's working! In addition, Angelique (spelling? sorry) is also a wonderful server. She always has a smile on her face and is very attentive with her customers. Give Pub 32 a try and insist on Jeremy or Angelique! read more

I wanted to like this place a lot but sadly couldn't. Went for the crab cakes from previous reviews saying how good they were. Unfortunately it's no longer on the menu which was disappointing. The food they did have was rather sub par. Sausage in puff pastry could easily be from a grocery store and then microwaved. The fish and chips weren't very hot upon arrival and appeared to be battered in mustard before frying or some other yellow (mustard yellow) coating. The cocktail I ordered was great and the only reason the review is slightly positive. And the bartender is ridiculously good looking. Drinks are great - food isn't. Seems like a local spot for the older crowd during late afternoons/early evening. read more

Pub Thirty Two - Whiskey Sour - Gastropubs Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This is a fabulous restaurant. Our food was incredible and the Irish bread is to die for. Our server was great and very attentive. The only downside was the hostess. She was rude and sullen. We will go back because the positives outweigh the one negative. We tried to be friendly to her, but she just glared at us. We eat out quite a bit and have never encountered this before. Oh well perhaps she was having a bad day? read more

Sean was the best part of our lunch at Pub Thirty Two. He was so gracious and patient with us old people. The lunch fare was excellent and enough for two meals. They have a happy hour I'd like to try. All in all, a delightful experience. read more

Pub Thirty Two - Bar area late lunch on a Monday - Gastropubs Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

After Jeremy left service has gone so downhill. Waited over 15 minutes before having to go up to the bar to be acknowledged also asking for a burger and getting served a water. This used to be my go to place after work to relax and enjoy my time but now I'm going to have to find somewhere that actually cares about the customers and listens. The new owner needs to realize that updating a menu doesn't mean upping quality of service and atmosphere. Really disappointing. Cassie is the only reason to come back but unless she's working it's not worth it. read more

My friends and I have had great service after my updated 5 start review a month ago (which I think got deleted accidentally after I updated my review) until today. We had great service on Tuesday, so today was a HUGE disappointment. My friend and I waited 15 minutes to order a drink. We then waited another 20-25 minutes to order our food (we ended up calling another waiter to put our order in). Additionally, we had to walk up to the bar to order additional items, and to close our bill. We witnessed other customers do the same as we did . Staff was very inattentive to say the least. I understand being understaffed for a busy Thursday afternoon, but we got no apologies for the delay. We saw a staff member chatting with other customers and neglecting us along with other people while we were waiting to pay our bill. Will not be coming back to this establishment, same service/quality as I stated on my first review. read more

Every once in a while I come across a hidden gem in Orange County. Pub Thirty-two is exactly what I have been searching for. A pub with inviting decor, a chill atmosphere and stiff drinks. Even better, the food is really good. I recently stopped by after a stressful week and plopped myself onto the nearest high-top I could find. (I was greeted by a nice host first). It was raining that day so I wasn't expecting a lot of people to be out but I was pleasantly surprised. There was a slight bustle in the pub that kind of made me smile. Over the past year, I have seen so many places struggle so this was definitely a good sign. My server Matt was totally on his game. He was taking another order when I came in but he came right over to acknowledge me and tell me that he will be right with me. I told him that I was a whiskey drinker and asked if he had any recommendations. He knew right away that I needed an old-fashioned. It was one of the best OF's I have ever had with just the perfect amount of bitters and those fabulous luxardo cherries. I wasn't super hungry but I figured a light salad couldn't hurt so I ordered the house salad. It had wild arugula, toasted sunflower seeds, grape tomatoes, parmesan cheese, charred lemon vinaigrette. I really enjoyed it and it was nice to have a salad with something other than romaine. Plus it totally filled me up. I saw some of the other dishes, including a dessert come out of the kitchen and they all looked so delicious. Before I knew it people were coming into the pub every few minutes. My server Matt was absolutely hustling and I was so impressed with how he handled each table (and he had quite a few). First of all, he knew the menu like the back of his hand. He was super knowledgeable and he never made me feel rushed. He wasn't pushy and he was just so pleasant to talk to. That is so rare to find these days. I am looking forward to coming back soon and trying the rest of the menu. And I will be asking for Matt as my server. P.S. Pub Thirty-two also has private dining and catering for larger parties. There are a lot of warm, rich woods inside that make for a very inviting ambiance. There is also a nice outdoor patio with string lights. read more

Excellent dinner here tonight! Especially the Short Ribs and Mash (see pic). Our amazing waiter Matt recommended it and though the other meals were good...I'd definitely order the short next time...so delicious and not what we expected. (I had the lobster roll special tonight which was also good). Crazy to say that as great as the rib meat was...and it was amazing...the crispy shaved carrots on top might have been my favorite part. Worth the trip just to try this dish. We also sampled several different cocktails and enjoyed all. The service was great!! The owner even stopped at the table to make sure we were happy. We enjoyed the live music as well. read more

This is my second time here and once again, I'm here at the exact wrong time. Lunch menu is over, dinner menu hasn't started yet so left with a "Happy Hour" menu without the happy hour prices or drink specials. The bartender/server was more interested in chatting up a guy at the bar. Pork bao bun appetizer and short ribs over fries were good. My husband's fish in the fish n'chips was okay, not great. Something about it being a little undercooked. Maybe if we lived closer I would give the place another couple chances, because it seems like the regulars really like it. But since we're in Oceanside I think we'll need to let this place go. read more

This is such a great place! I was in the area with my mom and aunt to pick up my wedding dress from alterations and we wanted to have dinner together after. This place looked great on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Our waiter was nice and fun! He recommended some drinks and food to us. I had the fish and chips and it was so good! As we were leaving we saw them setting up for some patio music. Such awesome vibes here! Will definitely come back whenever we're in the area again. read more

Jennie was a fantastic bartender! My friend and I decided to try Pub Thirty Two out for lunch and opted to eat at the bar top. We had a great lunch! We each ordered a dish and tried one another's. She had the penne pesto & chicken (DELISH!!) we had the fish & fries. Another DELISH meal!! I can't wait to take my husband! Looking forward to also going on a Sunday at 2pm to listen to Irish music and have lunch. read more

If you are in the bars, that serve very typical bar food, then this will be your jam. I guess I was expecting more elevated food (fresher, a few more "healthyish" options). read more

We live about 2 minutes from this place, and have been consistently coming for brunch for years now. It's always been good, great even! The Irish breakfast can't do wrong imo, and the food is usually really fresh and the portions are big. My friend swears by the breakfast burger every time lol. The espresso martinis are super tasty, as well as the Irish coffee...get these if you're into that stuff! This last experience though has left me with a super sour taste in my mouth. My food was brought out by a server that wasn't ours, and when I pointed out a mistake of the sausage not being on the plate she argued with me about, to the point of touching my food to make her point. Me: Hi, I'm sorry could I please get the sausage that comes with this? Her: It doesn't come with sausage. Me: It does, it's on the menu and I've gotten it each time I've ordered this before. Her (loudly): NO, it doesn't. THIS (touches my blood sausage) is the only sausage it comes with. Luckily at this point our server had arrived and corrected her, but honestly? Arguing with a customer when you could have just checked the menu? And touching my freaking food? Really? We probably won't be back after this. I'm worried that I'll get sat in her section and yeah, no thanks. Thanks for the good years Pub32, you were freakin amazing til you weren't! read more

The ownership and management here are excellent. A really great local "Pub" with great regulars. The servers ROCK and are easy/great to get to know. My favorite local place and always a treat. Chef changes the menu and they add new delicious flavors regularly. The Sunday Brunch is phenomenal! You have to try this place if you have not! read more
