The Best Pubs in Anaheim

Wursthaus

★★★★☆ 4.3 (985) • $$

"Food - wursters? Haha, think of anything sausage or links based and definitely an experience to have. Besides the namesakes like the brats, sausages, dogs, they also have Bison and one other rather exotic meat in their menu. They also have beers and maybe other libations. We enjoyed the sampler we had here and would definitely come back.Service - friendly and insightful.Ambiance - when you walk in here, it looks like a small frontage and joint. Lo and behold, the back room where you would eat. It's kinda cool!!! Dimly lit like a German pub haus or something.Verdict - a must try!"

The Alley Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (729) • $$

"I wasn't impressed by service nor the restaurant. I found the restaurant to incredibly loud and the waiter to be impatient and abrupt. On a busy night we were in and out in les than an hour. I would have liked to enjoy my nice evening out by way of a more lingering experience, but our waiter had no time for that. My friend ordered the pot pie which she enjoyed. The presentation was impressive with the oversized pastry billowing over the dish. I ordered the chicken picatta. It was okay but not anything special. The mixed vegetables were steamed, which I always find uninteresting and not flavorful. I would expect steamed vegetables at a lower class restaurant. On the flip side, if you're looking for a hip, vibing place to hang, then their bar looked like it would fill that need greatly. Parking is mostly Valet, which takes some patients too at their busy times."

Helmsman Ale House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (626) • $$

"We loved this place! My family & I came on a Monday (in July) around 3:45. We found parking very easily and got sat right away. The servers were super nice and checked on us multiple times throughout our time there. My family got a few drinks and we all got some food. I got the spicy chicken sandwich (5/5 stars) with sweet potato fries (4/5 stars) and my boyfriend got the wings (5/5 stars) with garlic fries (5/5 stars). We also got fried pickles (4/5 stars). The place itself is very relaxing during the day; it's a perfect spot to go after a beach day. They also have outdoor seating which I want to try next time. Thankfully the outdoor seating is shaded which makes for a perfect lunch. They also have darts to play which hopefully I can learn how to play!"

17th Street Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (545) • $$

"If you are looking for a local breakfast spot, I got you. You must try the pork belly benedict. A former menu item, this legend has stayed alive in the hearts and minds of regulars who refuse to allow it to fade into obscurity. The service is great, our coffees are kept warm and refilled often. The staff is attentive and friendly. We are never left hanging waiting for creamer, sugar or to go boxes. Food comes out quickly, or within a reasonable amount of time based on how busy they are. While I have remained true to my love, the pork belly Benedict, my husband has ordered most of the breakfast menu, and there have been no complaints so far. The restaurant clean, bright and comfortable. This local spot is a gem. If you are in need of regular breakfast situation, 17th Street Grill would be my first recommendation. Love the food. Love the staff. Truly can't recommend them enough."

12 Sixty Modern Pub & Kitchen

"Stayed at the hotel, so that some of the best damn chicken I've ever had and I'm from the south AND it wasn't fried so that's telling you somethingHighly recommend the Brick chicken entrée, staff was attentive and courteous"

Brian's Original Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (228) • $$

"A good classic bar with an extremely friendly wait staff. The apps were great and the beer was cold."

Karl Strauss Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"This Karl Strauss location is right off the 57 freeway and is easy to access. There's plenty of parking. We came here during the week for lunch, were greeted by Val and got seated right away.The restaurant is open, plenty of lighting, there's both booths and tables and plenty of seating. It's casual, inviting and comfortable.We had the pleasure of being served by Bobby - great vibes, super accommodating, and easy to talk to.We ordered the asada fries, the cotija avocado turkey burger and the food truck burger as well as an Imperial Red trolley. The cotija turkey burger was nice and juicy, loved the jalapeno beer cheese on the asada fries, and there was so much flavor in the food truck burger. I would definitely recommend!"
