Chill bar feel with video golf and other games. Nice outside seating as well.

Had such a great time. The staff were super helpful and friendly I wish I could remember there names. Turns out they have trivia nights on Saturday’s and turns out I still suck at trivia. They were open indoors but with social distancing. I suggest doing flight tasting be star you get to try new beers and it’s worth trying all there beers. Very good selections. This location is not by the beach like it may seem in some of the pics, it’s on a warehouse kind of area. No issue with parking. 👍

Somewhere in between Lost Winds 3 year Anniversary, we swoop over to Lost Coast for some beers and BBQ. Unfortunately, we missed the BBQ (specific serving times), but the beers went down real nice.

Im a fan of this local spot for an after work beer with co workers and friends. There is not a kitchen so dont expect food. Usually they will have a food truck or stand set up (What food varies by the service). Beers are very reasonably priced and taste amazing as it comes from the source. They often are out of the Hef I really like but their Del Mar and Una Mas are good secondary choices. Always have a lot of IPAs on tap as well. Its usually not very busy there unless they have an event taking place. Friendly staff is always a plus. Only reason for a 4/5 stars is if they dont have any food truck/stand they dont even have chips or snacks you can buy. Would be nice to have that option as beer and snacks go hand in hand.

Super chill spot. Way different vibe than the Irvine location. Food is from a food truck. Definitely a way chiller vibe and worth the drive.

Tables and windows not super clean, which just doesnt give you a good vibe about what youre drinking. Beers were good selection and really good prices, $6 pint. There is only inside seating at this location.

Underrated beers and enjoyable staff. Hannah gave us a lot of recommendations to fully enjoy Left Coasr beers and San Clemente. We will be back.

I went on a Friday night (around 9) and it was pretty empty, which is fine with me. Has a great atmosphere for a bar with board and video games for those seeking to pass the time. The staff is very helpful with their beer list, even customizing a drinking order based on your chosen flight. Spacious and fun, just a bit hard to find from the outside (I was tipped off by a friend). Would like to start going regularly!

Really good beer and a great staff to chat beer with! Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area. We are from Denver, so we have a high standard of craft beer; Left Coast did not disappoint.

Good beer, good food, good times. Left Coast has a dazzling selection of local beers and unique cocktails served by a friendly staff. Welcoming environment with board games, video games, and intriguing design. A good spot for an office happy hour. A lot of kids running around and being loud in a brewing company though?

Good beer. Flight of six 5 ounce beers for $12.

2019-05-08 23:35:47

Good spot for beer. It’s kind of become a haven for beer drinkers in the crowd is not as young anymore but their beer selection is some of the best in the city and it’s definitely worth a trip if you haven’t been there before. They do trivia night sometimes which are fun they also hold an annual microbrew festival that’s really cool.

The flavor complex is beyond Lost Winds and all other local competitors. You really need to come to their tasting room to appreciate exactly what Im saying. The staff is friendly AND knowledgeable. Dont mess around with the little guys - these are the big dogs in town.

Epic brews and friendly staff!We came in just looking for any kind of neat beer to check out in the area, and ended up loving every beer and the guy at the counter chatted us up about all the best local stuff and gave great suggestions for our next stops!

Everything about this place is amazing. The food, incredible. The staff, so kind, welcoming, and helpful. We came to have brunch after ending a bachelorette weekend, and it was the perfect place to do so.

We almost always get a sampler, or flight, which is a lot of fun. You get to taste a lot of different beers that way. Even with the beer I dont care for, I can tell it is well brewed for a specific style and flavor. Dont give up trying to find this place, it is kind of hidden.

We were very disappointed when we arrived at this brewery. We have been to so many breweries and have never been told that children were not allowed. No where was it posted that No one under 21 allowed. Not only were we embarrassed when we walked in and were told that no children were allowed we had our 7 year old with us. But we could hear as we were walking up all the people inside making comments such as I didnt know this was a family place and What would Lagunitas say?. The only other brewery we know of that does not allow anyone under 21 is Iron fist in San Diego, but they clearly state so on their web site. We were very disappointed not only in the customers but especially with the management. To be treated this way when we drove so far just shows the type of people who own and run this business. As well as the type of customers who frequent the place. We will never return here and every micro brewery we go into, we will make sure to tell those customers to avoid the place. Im sure the beer at this place was not worth the drive anyway.

Fantastic beer and great service! I had a few of the IPAs. It was a great atmosphere to hang out and have a beer. I highly recommend trying the hazy IPA of they have it. If not, everything I tried was great!

I visited quite a few breweries on our trip to southern California and this was the best new one we went to. They do a lot of IPAs and do them well. Got a flight and everyone was great. They also sell beers to go in cans, bombers and growlers. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Good little brewery off the beaten path. Award winner according to their wall. Good selection of beer. Have to look for it to find it but then again a beach side location would quadruple the rent I guess. Keep up the hard work
