Love coming here for their bulgogi fries. Its a great experience to come split some fries and grab a pitcher of beer with friends and just chill for a few hours. I do miss the pool room that was right across from this which was free for a ...

The pub at UCI! Came here for the first time with friends on trivia night Tuesdays and had a lot of fun! The prices arent bad, and the staff is quick. Wish they had more drinks than just beer though!

Great service and pub food.

Good beer selection. Update Spent almost every Friday evening here for the past 4 years. Great beer, great staff. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. The University has decided to not renew the contract, so July 26, 2017 will be the last day. So long old friend!

Never had a bad experience here. The bartenders are friendly and the beer is always good. Lots of seating and bar seating as well. ...

You get a free drink on your birthday and they hold small events like trivia challenges where you can buy in and win money sometimes. Their stoner tots are delicious and can be shared by a few people, but can give you quite the food comes after. Ask for it specifically because the few times I went it wasnt on the menu.
