    Chicken club sandwich
    Cyn D.

    Came to watch the World Cup final 2026. This place was packed! It's a sports bar so It's a great place to watch games, they have TVs everywhere! (idk if they added more for the game) The food is good and the staff all seem to work pretty hard. They also have outdoor patio seating.

    Tons of tvs

    Just an update to highlight Amy! Perfect server. She made me feel like regular before I was, Even when she wasn't my server, she recognized me and knew my "usuals". Love her. We drive 30+ minutes because she makes this place as fun as it is!

    The Classic Q seems like the place to be for post-work drinks in Irvine. I'm not even sure if they run happy hour specials, but this bar was crowded and lively at 6pm on a Thursday. I was definitely expecting a more laid back atmosphere, but I'm not complaining. Overall, I thought the set up here was pretty good. Pool tables, plenty of TVs to catch sporting events, and a nice variety of both food and beer on the menu. Prices were a little higher than I'd like, but service was friendly and efficient. I would not be opposed to coming back at some point, though it probably wouldn't be my first option.

    Very chill spot! Plenty of TVs to watch any sports games going on - the servers were very attentive and helpful. I've only been here once and tried the chicken wrap, it was delicious & tasty. Would love to try more food in the coming future

    Casual bar with pool tables and multiple tvs to watch the game. My friend treated us girls for a drink and shoot pool. We didn't have time so just ended up at the bar top having drinks and catching up. For a Sunday night it wasn't very busy. Food: we shared nachos and each of us had an espresso Martini that had a good amount of booze and was tasty. A good place for drinks and shooting pool and watching sports games

    Absolutely perfect for a casual bar night. The vibes are great, the drinks and food are even better, and somehow the service puts them all to shame. Bailie Sky was the sweetest, most attentive server ever, and I'm not sure if we'll be going back for the drinks or just to hang out with her.

    Stopped by the Classic Q after work since it was nearby. Upon walking in, it seemed like a very typical sports bar. The name seems fitting, very "classic" as it's nothing spectacular nor horrendous. The service is really dependent on the bartender. I was greeted by two people when I visited, a very kind woman and an overly-talkative man. The woman was great, she checked on my partner and I an appropriate amount of times and offered help when needed. On the other hand, the man would keep interrupting conversations between myself and my partner. I appreciate it when people can read the room. Back to a more positive note, the food and drinks were solid. The woman bartender did a great job on making drinks and offered to adjust ours if needed. We also got fries to snack on and the seasoning was solid. It was reminiscent of a Cajun seasoning. Overall, very okay experience. I find myself coming here more out of convenience rather than anything else

    Ask the Community - The Classic Q

    Can you smoke cigars in the patio?

    Sorry, there is no cigar smoke in the patio.

    Do you have the Golden Tee golf game? Do you have any nightly beer specials?

    Hi Rob - we do not have the golden tee golf game. Regarding nightly beer specials, we have happy hour specials during the week from 3pm-6pm. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

    Hello! Just wondering how much it is per hour for a pool table and do you take card payment for it? Also is there a entry fee or are we required to purchase food before playing at the tables? Thanks!

    Hi Ian. Thanks for your inquiry. The rate is a prorated rate of up to $15 per hour and you would have to spend at least $20 in food or drinks as a table.

    Are you guys currently renting out pool tables?

    Hi, Paul. Thanks for your question, and our apologies for the delayed response. Yes, we are renting out our pool tables! We look forward to seeing you play soon.

    Hello, we have 7 pool tables and the rates are $10/hr until 7pm and $13/hr after 7pm until close. There are minimum food and beverage spend requirements during those times. They are closed for major events so it is suggested to call before.…

When we arrived, we were helped by a very kind server named Vivi. She was attentive and even changed the channel so we could watch the baseball game we came for. When her shift ended, we closed our tab with her and waited to open a new one with Katie, who was starting her shift. Unfortunately, once Katie began her shift, the music and the television channels were changed, even though we were clearly there to watch the baseball game. In hindsight, that may have been a sign that the experience would not go well. It took approximately 23 minutes for her to come and take our order I asked for a michelada and a ginger ale. This was extremely disappointing service. I would understand a delay if the place had been busy, but as you can see, the establishment was fairly empty at the time. Because of this, there was no clear reason for such a long wait. Overall, this was the worst service we have experienced here, which was surprising given our previous positive visits. That said, I would also like to highlight one of the servers who consistently provides excellent service. If possible, I would recommend visiting Thursday through Sunday when Naidelyn is working. She is always attentive to customers, provides great service, and greets everyone with a smile.

The cooking uses quality ingredients and love and care. I was here on business by myself and was seated immediately and after a quick look at the menu decided on the devil's cut ribeye a steak. It comes with a massive amount of oven, roasted potatoes and green beans. I also got a side salad with it as well which was way too much food for one person. The entire thing was big enough for two normal or maybe even three light eaters. The steak was excellent with a sweet coffee rub with a slightly sweet mapley taste. I could only finish about half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I was full, I decided to try the fried apple pie because it was recommended by many other reviewers. It was actually amazing. It was the dish that was highly recommended by the server and she was not wrong. The ice cream on top was probably House made and the pie itself was like a gourmet version of a hostess apple pie but of course with much higher quality ingredients and it was delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting. It is a fun place to visit with the visual aspects such as the bird cages in the window case. Oak barrels used for aging whiskey are set around and the general vibe was very attractive. Everyone was having a great time and making quite a lot of noise from all the conversation and the music, but people were really enjoying themselves. If you want to have a quiet conversation with someone, this is probably not your place, but if you want a fun time with that kind of vibe, it is an excellent place. I recommend Bosscat highly.

For years, Hangar 24 has been a place where families can gather, enjoy great food and drinks, listen to live music, and allow their children to safely play and have fun. It has created a welcoming environment that appeals to a broad audience, and that family-friendly atmosphere is one of the reasons so many people continue to return. Last night, however, I noticed a significant change that concerned me. Instead of having the live band perform earlier in the evening, a DJ played first and the band performed much later. Many people, including myself, came specifically to enjoy the live band, and the new format seemed confusing to much of the crowd. As I observed throughout the evening, very few people were dancing during the DJ set. Most guests remained seated, looking uncertain about the change. In addition, some of the music selections and volume level felt inappropriate for a venue that attracts so many families with young children. I noticed several children covering their ears, and many parents appeared uncomfortable. From my perspective, Hangar 24's customer base is largely made up of families. Those families purchase food, drinks, and often stay for several hours while their children enjoy the outdoor space. By scheduling the live band later in the evening, many parents are forced to leave before the performance begins because their children are tired or it is simply too late for a family outing. If the goal is to attract a younger nightlife crowd, a better approach might be to have the live band perform earlier in the evening when families are present and then transition to a DJ later at night for guests who prefer that atmosphere. This would allow both audiences to enjoy the venue without alienating the families who have supported Hangar 24 for years. I am sharing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy coming to Hangar 24 and want to see it continue to succeed. I believe many guests share these concerns, and I hope management will carefully consider how these changes may impact the loyal family customer base that has helped make Hangar 24 such a popular destination. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, A Concerned Customer

But I was caught off guard by the lack of music and overall how quiet the whole place was. I went on a Friday and there weren't many people there, which isn't bad just something I had noticed. Very stark comparison to the other breweries in the area, which were much more lively. The beers itself were decent; however, there were no prices posted anywhere on the chalk menu, or the paper menu from what I saw. I ordered 2 drinks, one of which needed to have the keg replaced. When the attendant returned she said they were actually completely out, but the drink I had ordered was a double IPA, and without any prices posted or itemized receipt, I wasn't sure what I was able to get instead. The attendant then tells me "if you get something cheaper, I won't change the price" which confused me. A double IPA is typically more expensive than a regular beer or seltzer and she didn't even offer a refund to compensate for the fact that it was sold out and I had already paid for it. This could have been mitigated if the prices were available or she offered me an itemized receipt. For 2 beers I paid $20 before tipping. As a customer I'd like to be informed of what I'm getting charged for, and if I'm charged for something more and given less, I'd like a partial refund. In the end I got my beers and sat down. The brewery itself doesn't serve food, so it was nice being able to bring my own food and est what I want. Again, up until 30 minutes of being there, no music was playing, so very off putting vibe. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience here and don't recommend anyone coming here when other breweries are in tbe area and much more clear with pricing and have a more lively vibe.

I was 86ed on this bartenders shifts not because I acted a fool, not because I was violent, or because I didn't pay a check or any of the reasons one would be 86ed from a bar, but I had the audacity to ask this person to stop interfering in my life or commenting on the way I raised my dog. It's a spot where men watch golf. That's about it. Shelby, leelina and Katie are good people. The dog and I are fine, you still suck. Oh yeah. I should also mention that this bar has not 86ed a man who has literally chased an employee around with a knife, or one who fell asleep at a booth on weekend morning. The double standards here are stunning. The same butts will be sitting in the same seats in 15 years.
