They give as much attention to the food as they do to their worldly selection of beers, so you can be sure that you'll find the perfect pairing of bite and brew.

Whether you're here to hook up or to have a good meal, you'll get it all at Crow Bar. Famous for their burger, their duck fat fries and more, there's nothing that'll leave you wanting more. You'll just want seconds.

Entourage in downtown Brea isn't just a bar and a restaurant. With live music alongside the great food and drink, you'll come here for the menu but stay for the bands on stage.

Hipper than hip and cooler than cool, the Crosby is Downtown Santa Ana's jewel. With a great crowd, a menu that gives formal restaurants a run for their money and live music, this bar cum restaurant is sure to have you coming back for more.
