    10/16/21 (sat): food menu!
    Mimi L.

    Whether you're shopping at Whole Foods or not, The Hangar Bar is a pretty adequate spacious joint to chill at. It may sound awkward to chill in a market but it really isn't. I must say it's a convenient spot. To note - this bar is not a full-on "bar" either. Many come for a quick grub or drink as they catch whatever sports game they got playing while others come to relax before going back to their daily grind. There is bar top & table seating (which is also shared with Mendocino Farms). Place your order at the bar though. Prior to covid, the bunz & I had visited a good handful of times for their food & drinks plus their pricing too. We have always enjoyed getting their charcuterie, wings & nachos! This month was our first visit back & it was a pleasant visit. No complaints. They still have a good selection of wine & beer. Cocktails - not bad but I will say it was better prior to covid. Our truffle fries was a great snacker, perfectly crisped. Service was good. Atmosphere was comfortable. Decent noise level. Overall, we would return in the future :)

    Pour of Pinot Noir from Sonoma. Pretty Tart. My wife would get this again.

    Underrated afternoon chill for getting draft beer and healthy pours of wine. We usually come during the week for the burger and beer deal. This time we came and the menu had added options such as the crab cake and fish and chips. Every time we come the server is friendly and gets our food out quickly. The seats are always abundant. Order. Eat. People watch.

    Thursday happy hour deal. Burger fries and a beer for less yhan$15. It was so good.

    The burger was good along with the fries. You can never go wrong with the California Creamian beer. On Thursdays this is all for less than $15!

    My only weakness...

    I'd like to start this review by stating that I don't really consider Hangar Bar to be a "bar". It's really a section of Whole Foods with many good beers on tap and a menu with a number of vegetarian and vegan options. What it does, it does very well, and I prefer Hangar Bar to most bars, including Back Bay Tavern (which I would say qualifies). Yeah, yeah, Whole Paycheck (sorry, Mr. Mackey, but it fits). Hangar Bar does have a number of specials that you can take advantage of, though. My wife and I visited on Thursday and did the $13 house burger and brew deal. Excellent call. We both had Beyond Burgers, the vegan alternative to meat, and this omnivore was very satisfied. If you don't like meat, you may not like this because it is a remarkable facsimile. I do wish the tomatoes and butter lettuce had been fresher. The french fries were outstanding, and my vegetarian wife suspected that they might have been cooked in beef tallow. You don't think...? If we return on a Thursday, we may do the $7 whole cheese pizza deal. You do know that you can bring any food from the store to have at the bar, right? I believe this applies to the beer and wine, too. Wednesday would be another good day to come because that's when Whole Foods discounts the salad bar. Hangar Bar also does Taco Tuesday (including vegetarian jackfruit) and a happy hour Monday through Friday, 4 to 6 pm. What about the beer? Well, how do you like 35 tap handles? Hangar Bar doesn't have a website, but you can check out TapHunter for their current draft list. They also have wine and cocktails. I will be sure to return for happy hour or for one of their daily specials. I like tasty, healthy food and good beer, so I like Hangar Bar, and I think that you will, too.

    A full bar in the grocery store? Yes please...

    A bar in a supermarket. Who'da thunk it? Well whole Foods is no ordinary supermarket, and the Hanger Bar is not the typical bar. I think it exists as more of a way to get more people into Whole Foods and stay there longer, and as a way to get folks to try beers, wines and spirits on sale there. But hey, who am I to complain? I had a nice steak and eggs for brunch, and it was a rather large steak. It could have used a little seasoning while cooking, but nothing that a bit of salt and pepper could not cure. I would have also liked a bit of starch on the plate, but I'll fix that next time with a side of potatoes. The Bloody Marys are also very good, with Lava Bloody Mary mix, a really good option in my opinion. So I'll be back, at the very least on weekend afternoons when I am soloing it.

    I am a little disappointed that this wasn't here when I used to come to Whole Foods weekly during my work lunch break back in 2013. At the same time, I suppose it might actually be a blessing that this wasn't available back then, I can't even imagine how much money I would have spent here. Warning, if you tend to stress eat and drink, you may find it too easy to overspend here. Hangar Bar and Grill is such a fantastic new addition to the newly remodeled Whole Foods. It gives Whole Foods a little more options that the prepared foods bar with menu items that are cooked to order. There is also a bar with craft brews, and a rotating special menu with daily specials such charcuterie and wine, or a burger and brew combo. They also have happy hour! It is a little confusing because they don't have their menu posted (just a beer menu) but the food is all on a paper menu. You can order at the bar or order with a waiter. This is great for a casual work lunch or work happy hour. Not sure if it is good for anything else as it's situated inside a grocery store, so the ambiance isn't exactly "exciting". Parking is plenty, though traffic flow is awful, as per the entire District parking lot, but I do not think that part is going to change any time soon. I usually just come during off peak hours to avoid the traffic and the whole experience is much more pleasant.

    Porcini mushrooms cutlet with risotto

    "Why don't we go to Whole Foods for lunch?" I never thought I would hear my husband utter those words, but yesterday he did. We were going to get some hot food from the self service area... but I saw a child grabbing handfuls of lettuce, putting it in his bowl, and then putting it back with his hands. That was kind of a turn off. We walked to the front of the store and stumbled upon Hangar Bar. Cleverly named for the old hangers, the menu appealed to me because of its many non-meat options. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but just trying to eat a little better. I opted for the porcini cutlet with risotto, while my other half had the burger. A place where we can both eat and be happy! Ahh! I was really satisfied with my mushroom, and he equally loved his burger. I managed a nibble on his fries, too, and thought they were tasty. I'm usually not a potato person. I look forward to going back and trying the charcuterie board! 2017: 13/100

    Located inside Whole Foods Market. Never disappointed... the place to be Friday night. It was pretty busy this Friday night. The craft beers, the variety of food, customer service, and the price, all makes the experience even better. Entertainment is a plus! They have DJs to entertain guests, but usually 1 DJ at a time. Tonight's order included steak frites w/brussels sprouts, kale salad & another steak frites with side salad, because it's was so yummy the first time! No where around here can beat this! Variety of beer selection. Really enjoyed the raspberry (nitro style). Nutkin' futz has a really yummy nutty flavor. Customer service is great when they are able to get to you. A bit of patience is worth it. Apparently you can bring food from the market to eat here, at least we did & no one said anything.

    This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

    Ambiance is great. Feels like you're in a cabin in the woods. Service is prompt and friendly. Food…read moreis solid. Shrimp tacos hit and were absolutely packed with shrimp. Cocktails were tasty and followed the theme well. Will be bringing friends next time for sure!

There was a mix-up with our reservation, but they graciously accommodated our group anyway, which really set the tone for the evening. The wine was fantastic, and the candle-making was so much fun.
