Came on a Saturday afternoon and was such a cozy area to sit outdoors and enjoy drinks with friends :) Tucked in the corner with a vintage, maximalist, whimsical vibe. I got the bees knees and the estoy enamorado and both were a tiny bit sweet for me but still really good!

    A very special bar, from the drinks to the decor. I really like that they are open during the day…read moreand also late at night, with mixed indoor and outdoor seating (though the outdoor seating is a bit worn). Vibes are always good. If you have some time while browsing The Lab during the day, I recommend stopping by for a drink! It's also nice to include in your barhopping itinerary in the evening since there are a number of breweries around too. I've had mixed experiences with the bartenders. Luckily, the gentleman manning the bar during my most recent visit was very friendly. Drinks are always great. I've tried a variety of drinks from the menu here, but my favorites are: -Love in Drunk, a lovely cocktail with cucumber and grapefruit flavors that create a fresh watermelon taste when mixed together -Bee's Knees, short but strong and sweet -London Mule, very herbal thanks to the gin and very refreshing

    We were going to OCMA so my friend suggested we dine at Verdant which is in the museum, or at least…read moreit used to be. We checked in at the museum front desk and my friend said we were going up to restaurant on the third floor. The person at the desk said they moved it and it was on the first floor now. She pointed over to what I knew to be the snack bar that had been there since opening. We went over and sure enough it was just drinks snacks and a few pre-packaged light meals. I have to guess they just quietly went away.

    I'd like to start out by thanking our server, Christian for being very accommodating and helping us…read moreout on Sunday! I had made a reservation online for 6 people at 12:30pm and my reservation was accepted. When we got to the museum, we were told the restaurant was closing at 12:30pm and I felt very upset. Why was the reservation accepted then? When I got to Verdant, there was no one in sight. The restaurant was empty and there was 1 other party, but no staff. I actually ended up making my way near the kitchen, and that's where I found Christian, who appeared really busy. He explained that they had a wedding later that day and had to close at 1pm for set up. He still sat our party and was very kind, accommodating and helpful. He gave me a great tip and said when making cafe reservations, it's best to call ahead, because they do sometimes have event buy outs. As far as the ambiance, it is a really beautiful space. But, it was SO cold. It seemed like the AC was on full blast. The food was pretty good, but the menu seemed to change since I was there last.

    Mesa offers an intimate, low-key ambiance with a thoughtfully curated aesthetic that sets it apart…read more The addition of a DJ creates a unique concept, making it an excellent choice whether you're on a date or enjoying a night out with friends. Couples who plan to stay for a while--or until closing--will especially enjoy sitting at the bar, as the venue transitions later in the evening into a more club-like atmosphere. Booths are often reserved for guests opting for bottle service during this time. The food is excellent, both in quality and presentation, and the service truly enhances the overall experience. The servers and bartenders are attentive, courteous, and highly professional, consistently ensuring guests feel well taken care of. Mesa is versatile enough to enjoy as a dinner destination or as a place to stay late into the night. Whether you're looking to eat and dance or simply relax and unwind, it's a great spot for couples and groups alike.

I hadn't been…read morehere in years and stupidly decided to give it another shot -- now I remember exactly why I stopped coming here in the first place. Same goes for their shitty sister location(s) Habana, which is just another thumbs-down disappointment of an establishment. Poor leadership. Trash food. Useless staff. Nothing has improved -- if anything, it's worse. Y'all should probably just close your doors. Keep it up though, you're well on your way to dropping below three stars. Absolute trash. Lol. ----In response to the "Biz Owner." I highlighted specific details. A reported review can always be reposted if taken down. Nice to see you pretending to care about operations.

    Some places are just good beer. This was good beer and great people…read more Max behind the bar deserves a shoutout. Friendly, sharp, and somehow making a busy bar feel calm and personal at the same time. You don't forget service like that--it's the kind that quietly upgrades your whole experience without making a big show of it. Karl Strauss already has the food and drinks dialed in, but Max is the kind of bartender who makes you want to come back and sit at the bar specifically. Will absolutely be back.

    The cheeseburger at Karl Strauss Brewing Company walks into the room like it knows it belongs there…read moreconfident, polished, paired perfectly with a cold house brew. Visually? Strong. Toasted bun, melted cheese draped properly, solid build integrity. Structurally, it's a well composed burger. But here's the honest take. The patty itself felt like it was holding back. The texture was good juicy enough, cooked properly yet the flavor didn't quite punch the way you expect from a brewery burger. It needed more salt, maybe a stronger sear, maybe even a blend with a bit more fat to bring depth. Right now, it tastes safe. And a place known for bold craft beer shouldn't serve a safe burger. The cheese and toppings carried more personality than the beef did. Every bite had balance, but not enough edge. A sharper cheddar, a house-made sauce with some acidity, or even a slightly more aggressive seasoning profile would elevate it from "good" to "I'm coming back for this." That said, it's not a bad burger. It's dependable. It just hasn't stepped fully into its potential. In a brewery setting where flavor is the brand, the cheeseburger should taste like it belongs next to a flagship IPA not like it's auditioning for it. Room for improvement? Definitely. Foundation to build on? Absolutely
