Brewing Reserve of California

Have been coming to this place since we moved to the Halecrest neighborhood 5 years ago. Such a hidden gem, a true third place. Great beer, programming (trivia nights etc), and great rotating food vendors. Always busy, but never so packed you can’t find a spot. We’ve loved coming here before kids, and now we come with our baby. Not pretentious and staff is great and super accommodating. A rare find all around these days.

Shout out to Nicole! She was awesome 👏 got recommended a good selection of brews and they did not disappoint! Very delicious and tasty beers. Environment was very chill, good amount of space, descent amount of parking and they usually have a good food vendor out in the front which is a plus, it’s dog friendly and it was overall a great experience! Definitely recommend 👍

A friend and I came in for a pop up paint and pint class here at the brewery. All the staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. Brian helped us choose which beer we would like. The painting class was so much fun, especially with drinks. I will definitely return here, chill vibes. They are pet friendly as well. It was very clean, they have tables, chairs, couch, board games.

I stopped here for a quick beer. It’s a nice little location and I was pleasantly surprised with the beer. When I’m in Costa Mesa, I typically hit Green Cheek. I’ll definitely be back to try some of their other beers. That’s had some food going outside .

Had a fine experience here. They didn't have a ton of beer options and the ones we got I felt like were pretty average. The seating options are rather random, as the tables between the more comfy-looking chairs are far too big to have a conversation across. They had a lot of little tables that seemed strangely cramped together? Service was pretty meh, not the friendliest but certainly did the job. Parking isn't the best but they have some parking in the back and street parking seemed easy enough. Will probably explore other bars in the area.
