Taphouse Tavern

Hidden gem in oc. More like a locals bar, but the food was fantastic!!!!! Highly recommend the loaded fries with the signature beer cheese. Javi and Eric were great- love the crushes- had the creamciscle and lemon. Regulars were very welcoming. Perfect spot for having some drinks and catching up with friends- unpretentious. Definitely will return.

Great bar vibe to this place. I will say the food and vibe go hand in hand the vibe makes you feel right like family while the food gives you that upscale dining but that cheap money saving price. Always a new weekly special. An I will say the homemade cheesecake is to die for.

We used to absolutely love this place but it’s really gone downhill in recent years.

They used to have the best peanut butter and (habanero) jelly wings. Last time we visited we asked if they have them back on the menu (as we’ve been told they would be returning) and the staff was SO rude telling us they haven’t had them in years and asked if we were dumb (who even talks like that?) They could have just told us no.

Honestly the food is just mid nowadays and the staff is rude and kind of sucks. There are plenty of better places with better service…
