The IRV Bar

Great spot except their hours are very inconsistent, mainly because they don't have the bartenders for consistent shifts? (per their customer service team).If you're hoping to grab some food or sit for a drink, you're just going to have to call in or show up and get lucky.

Food is mediocre, prices are high. Service is ok. Came here for quick brunch one day and ordered the Irvine bowl for $8. It's very rich and fatty, hash brown at the bottom, topped with pulled pork cream sauce and no veggies. The portion size is not very big. It didn't taste very good, and I got a stomachache later from it. Extra avocado cost $2 extra. Service was very absent at times, I had to ask for water a few times. Overall not worth the $. No bathrooms in the restaurant, you have to walk kind of far to the back of the store to use the whole foods bathrooms.

This spot is now one of my new local go-to's I love the food, staff and quick service. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a bite or go to the salad bar, food bar. There is so many options. I have never been dissapointed.

Loving this spot.It's inside wholefoods market.They have a good brew selection.Thursdays is Burger and Brew $13 all day.Pub or some Vegan burger + beer from tap!!Before you had to choose from the $7 beer selection but when I went yesterday they said it can be any beer excluding just 1 of the beers!!! Score! Beer prices range from $7-$10/ pint or tulip.The burger is pretty good! Especially at this price!Nice and juicy everytime! My coworker thinks its too juicy! HahaAnyways, cant wait to they their Taco Tuesday deal!!

I ordered the pub burger and a salad with steak on the side. The steak was 8.5/10 and the burger was 6/10. The server was attentive and the atmosphere is light.

Tuesday tacos are the best. And having a beer at your neighborhood grocery store?! Priceless. Free parking.

Awesome corner spot that's located inside Whole Foods in Irvine! I came here randomly on a Friday night and was able to get the couch area. They're even baby friendly! We were served by the bartender who came to give us menus/take our orders/serve our food. The drinks are decently priced even out of happy hour. I'll definitely come here to try the happy hour before 6pm! We just got drinks on our first visit, the blonde ale and a margarita. Both were very good for the price. I'll be back soon to try the food and other drinks.

This may turn out to be a hidden gem! Who would think about happy hour inside a Whole Foods??My gal pals and I came here for a book club sesh and enjoyed ourselves for the most part. We got a high top and ordered a few happy hour items and alcoholic beverages.On the lineup that evening were:- Sorry, forgot the name of the cocktail but it had celery in it; tasted like a healthy juice bar drink but with alcohol. Love the concept!- Cauliflower Nachos - Probably my favorite of the evening- Chicken Quesadilla - Was supposed to be a pork one but they ran out and offered up chicken instead; it was pretty tasty but nothing to write home about.- Fries with curry on top - An Indian-style poutine because they no longer make the regular poutine that fellow Yelpers previously mentioned. Not bad, even when cold.- Charcuterie plate - Tasty with a nice variety except it was kind of odd to have jams/preserves on the plate (I have only had jams with cheese). Service was great with the guys checking in on us and clearing empty plates on a regular basis. Definitely some place I hope to come back to for brunch or another happy hour.

Great service, a good selection of draft beers, reasonably priced happy hour menu. The poutine was pretty good; fries with melted cheddar covered with white gravy. Add some duck or braised ribs and this would absolutely rock. The charcuterie and cheese plates were smaller, but tasty. This might be my go to happy hour hangout. Highly recommend.

I wondered why there was no updated photo of the menu.....because there isn't one. No hard alcohol and no food. Only wine, beer and canned mixed cocktails. Sadly we left after we were told that....
