Luckily, our Unlimited Mimosas Brunch for Two was cheaper than the actual rates because of some quick hacks my wife thought of. The reviews have people raving about the food; I say they're blind to what really good food is. I can make a far better Irish breakfast & chilaquiles at home. The chips in the chilaquiles turned soggy so quick, it's amazing. The Irish breakfast was just so.. well.. plain-jane as ever. The Maple Bread Pudding looked good, initially tasted good but we realised it was just drenched from head-to-toe in maple syrup. My question to the chef - Are we supposed to eat a well balanced dessert or just a bowl of maple syrup? I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, nor would I go there again.At the end, since we had applied a certain coupon, there was still a $7.80 charge to pay. I asked our server thrice to explain what these charges were attributed to. She couldn't explain properly till I investigated further. Oh well right ?‍♂️?‍♂️

Banging bangers and mash and a lively flight of Japanese and Irish whiskeys set a great mood for a great night. Recommend asking for a glass of ice to temper the whiskeys when they are brought out, though. Slainte!

We have always had a positive experience here. Staff has always been pleasant. Atmosphere inviting. Menu is somewhat limited due to the fact I don't care for lamb, but happy hour is fun and the appetizers tasty. Lively bar. Live music, check for times. We miss the music because they play in the evening and we go to lunch most times. It is truly one of downtown Brea's gems and we will continue to go.

Had a great time at this bar but the real main attraction is the stellar bartender Jordyn. Came here last Monday on trivia night and Jordyn expressed her love for scotch so I asked her to whip me up a couple drinks, she found out the tastes I like and I am still daydreaming about those cocktails ?Thanks for the good memories Jordyn, can hardly wait to visit again!

Recently visited this place for the first time because my wife and I had a Groupon for brunch. To sum up, we had a lovely time. Sunday brunch starts at 9:30am and we got there around 10am. We were worried that we might need a reservation but the place was almost empty when we arrived, so it was fine.Near the end of our meal tho about an hour later, the place started to get packed. That might also have to do with the fact that that particular Sunday was Daylight Savings so we sprung forward and lost an hour, so that might explain why everyone was an hour late.For brunch, we had the lamb chilaquiles and the chicken & waffles. Both were outstanding. The chilaquiles have some spice to em so just a heads up.Our server Justin took good care of us. They have a cool jukebox system in the restaurant. Justin came to our table and said "Give me a song you like." We told him one of our favorites and he queued it right up to play on the jukebox and we were vibing and having a good time while we enjoyed our bottomless mimosas.Looking forward to returning, cheers.

My family and I ate lunch here on a Saturday around 1:30pm. The food was pretty good and the order was done correctly so, based on that I would go back!However, the service was awful. We literally had to get up every time we wanted something: when we sat down and the waitress didn't greet us, when we wanted more drinks, when we needed silverware, when we wanted the bill...you get the idea. The waitress was nice but not attentive in the slightest.

The potatos were really good. The reuben sandwich was delicious, the spread was a little thick but the slices of meat was also thick and enjoyable. The bread was good. The ambiance was fancy yet very pub. The staff was very friendly.

It’s a nice vibe the drinks were good but the food was gross . I ordered nachos with meat and when I received them the meat was cold . My boyfriend ordered the short ribs and was sick all morning. Just found out my coworker was sick from the Bison burger . At your own risk !!!My response to Owner.. I did send back the Nachos due to the cold meat and requested the pretzels instead which were hard and from my understanding they should be soft for the dip sauce . I’m sure other people do get sick from the food you serve but as you were quick to respond that we didn’t from your establishment .No restaurant is perfect obviously. Our first and last visit !!!

I visited the cigar lounge which is located inside of the restaurant.Great lounge but $15.00 fee for non members per day.Bartenders inside the lounge are awesome.I had the chance to see the owner but he was too busy to chat.Again, great spot to to have a drink and smoke.

the service was not very good. I liked the food. we were part off the chef's table promotion, and I think it was too expensive for the food were received.
