Brew Kitchen Ale House in Los Alamitos

Don't judge a book by it's cover, right? This place looks like a breakfast joint, but is the best craft beer bar with delicious food options FOR MILES. Bartenders and wait staff are so patient and helpful. Love this place!

Happy Saturday! My husband was exhausted after a long week and wanted to stay in and order a  pizza. Then decided he wanted to go to the brew Kitchen Ale house. Since we hadn't been for a while. I was really happy to see they had cocktails now. I was going to order the Moscow Mule and add watermelon purée. One of the waiters recommended I try the watermelon troublemaker. Who ever invented or added this drink to the menu is a genius. I had 2 and they were both absolutely perfect. The pretzel bites which I have always been a big fan of were even better. Oh and the wings with the sriracha sauce is always a must have. My husband had the pliny the elder and the big bad baptism and they were nice and cold and delicious. We also had a pizza and salad and they were also really good. Can't wait to go back and try other cocktails or maybe have the same one again.

Decided to check this place out last night as we (family) wanted something different for dinner. Reading the reviews and other sites couldn't get a feel if we needed reservations or not but figured if they were too busy we'd go somewhere else. The place as pretty busy and yes they do take reservations, which on a weekend I'd really recommend you do it, but when I asked the gentleman at the door said he'd try to seat reservations first but would see if he could get us in soon.  Within a few minutes we were sitting at a table ready to order. Mind you, we were 3 people so it was probably easier than if we were a group of 6 or more. Once seated the waiter came by and took our drink order. The place was busy but it seemed to have a really good staff. I ordered a beer and my wife ordered the Mai Thai which were really good. We ordered wings with Memphis BBQ sauce and the sauce was really tasty. I'm not  a big BBQ sauce fan but this was really good. I ordered the SMOKIN' BACON BURGER (Sharp Cheddar, Cherry Wood Bacon, Fried Onion Strings, Uncle Joe's Memphis Style Brew-B-Que Sauce) . Which was not only tasty but filling. My son decided on THE SANCHO (Burger, Roasted Jalapeño, Caramelized Beer Onions, Pepper Jack Cheese, Applewood Bacon, Avocado & Ancho Mayo), and he really enjoyed it. I copied the burger and description...
