    Try the duck fat pretzel bites and the IPA flight. You can't beat them during happy hour.

    Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their beer. Good place to kick back, watch a game and enjoy good conversation.

    You must have their Mac and cheese, so good. Make sure you get a jug of your favorite beer so worth it.

    Love Karl Strauss. Always got their Mac and Cheese (can get with various of meats; feeling healthy? Get mix veggies) with their crafted beers.

    Always ask about the Tank Tap and Brewer's Choice. They hold some neat surprises.

    Honestly it’s all pretty great but they’ve won awards for the Red Trolley and Wind N’Sea.

    Service and food (esp the fondue) were awesome. The Fuego is crazy and should come with a warning and a glass of milk!

    Great Rate Limo will have the Matte Black Limo out tonight in Costa Mesa chauffeuring people home. More fun and better looking than a cab. Drink up and give us a call at 877-360-8366

    Try the Chocolate on Tap brownie dessert with the Imperial Stout. The pairing is delish!

    Great beer. Don't order the food. They have an impressive menu that somehow has no flavor. Big doesn't equal better.
