    Stopped by this billiards spot recently for lunch and was seriously impressed. The atmosphere is laid-back but still feels upscale enough for a night out with friends or drinks after work. Biggest highlight: they offer FREE billiards Monday-Friday until 4 PM with a $15 lunch purchase which is honestly one of the best deals around. Normally it's $15 per hour with a $20 food/beverage minimum. Service was attentive and friendly. There are full-size and bar sized tables and they recently redid the felt last week so everything rolls super smooth and plays great. You can tell they actually maintain the equipment instead of just throwing tables in a corner like some places do. On the downside, i wasn't a huge fan of my expresso martini which didn't actually have expresso in it. They use a coffee liquor so it tasted like diluted coffee. The food was on the pricier side and was just typical bar food/smaller proportions.

    Awesome spot!! Came in on a Friday during lunch and it's a total sports bar billiards bar vibe. We got drinks right away which were simple beer and wine and delicious. We ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and fries and it was just phenomenal!! The chicken and salad is chopped up together and mixed so every bite is so perfect! The fries are sooo good and in a time where every fry tastes identical these are potatoey with a nice seasoning. Just a sweet spot a bit pricey but large interior good service good food I will totally be back!

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

My friend enjoyed her buffalo chicken sandwich and was able to take half to go. She did say she wished the buffalo sauce was a bit thicker, it's a rather thin sauce. This is a great spot to come and watch games as they have lots of big screens. Just know that it gets rather busy when big games are on. On days that there isn't big games, tables come and go pretty quickly so there isnt usually much of a wait at least on the weekdays. There are options for indoor and outdoor seating available. Our server was good, however I will say as soon as we paid they stopped refilling our waters. We stayed and chatted for a bit but our waiter or any staff never checked on us again after. Also, the bathroom could have used some attention, the trashcan was overflowing with paper towels and the plunger was out in plain view. I think a basket would help hide the plunger and cleaning products just so that the customers aren't thinking about plungers while at the restaurant.

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.
