Great brewery! The place is huge. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The beer and food I tasted were delicious! The hazy was my favorite. The carnitas tacos were juicy, meaty, and great tasting. The empanadas stole the show. Crispy and delicious! The customer service was friendly and helpful from everyone we encountered. Will visit again!

They have a great beer selection and lots and lots of free games. They have a ton of board games but also arcade style video games as well. It’s a huge place and very open and bright. Their bar tenders are cool and quick and help you pronounce the names of their beers if you are not up to date on the lore. For real though this is a cool spot and we are happy they are around to give nerds a safe place to nerd out.

The place itself is a bit strange. As in the layout of everything. Very open on one side and not much to fill the huge space. The other side is overly crowded. Order chicken tacos while having beers at the bar. Chicken meat is way over cooked like it’s been in a crock pot all day and not much flavor. The beers on the other hand are amazing. They don’t keep the glasses cold. But they do use an ice cold water spray on the glass before they pour your beer. Ordered the nachos to go. Not much toppings for a $16 plate. I would go back for the beer…… but not for the food.

This is my favorite brewery in Southern California. It has by far exceeded my expectations of an experience. I planned my husband’s 40th birthday party here and they went out of their way to make it perfect. Every detail was perfect. I love that it’s laid back and super friendly. The staff is amazingly helpful and accommodating. I requested tacos for the event and they were so delicious. The food was great. The ambiance was great. The service was above and beyond. It was the best 40th Birthday. My husband was happy. My guests kept commenting on what a great place it was. They are so kind. Thank you Scott and all the staff for asking this an epic memory for us. It is family friendly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Update 2: New Happy Hour Menu is amazing! We got to try items and drinks we normally wouldn't at an incredible value!Update: Ari is back for trivia! Tuesday this time! The new trivia system uses a wager point system and is great!!! Food is still delicious! Definitely get that beer cheese with the pretzels!! I also love the carnitas pork tacos! For drinks we had Cosmo-naut,Came back for Mario Trivia Night. Amazing atmosphere. Fantastic Host. Hilarious, personable, sassy and witty in all the ways you expect a host for Trivia night to be. Food is 3.5*. Beer was 4*. but Ari made this a 5* night!

I went for the first time for a very fired up pub trivia, where they cap it at 50 teams (very fun and great draw of friendly competition), offers drink deals and for a 2 hour stint, the drinks flow and food is tasty and easy. For how popular this is, very smooth and easy transaction. If not a 40 minute drive from LB, would make this a more frequent stop. Great staff and coordinator of pub trivia. Gonna swing by again.

Beers and drink selection has always been on point. The wontons are delicious and be sure to order an additional sauce. Thank me later. The tater tots are a solid choice. My three-year-old loves them. The only other food choice we enjoyed was their chicken and waffles on a Sunday. We were very disappointed with their smash burger which we thought they could not mess up. But maybe it was just an off day. But definitely kept us from going back for a couple of months, unfortunately.The games have been fun and they have TVs with streams of people playing COD and a couple of others I wasn’t familiar with. Definitely family friendly.Will be returning for another round of battleship and a couple of drinks.

Great original beer in a massive, chilled brew cave full of friendly geeks. Grab a hazy and a couple empanadas while watching a level-five wizard crush a hit-point impaired troll into a fermenting mash no doubt re-used for the next perfect double-hopped IPA. Pure nerdy deliciousness.

We’re so lucky to have such a great brewery so close to home! All their beer is good, never really been disappointed with what I get poured. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and we have became friends with some of them. They remember us from all the times we go. This is a long overdue review. Nothing but love for this brewery! Their food is great as well. Every time we go we have to get their spicy tater tots and egg rolls. The smash burger is great too and the kids love their flatbread pizzas. We always take cans home with us as well. Keep up the great work, we love you all

Place is nice, drinks were good, bartender was attentive, and the comedy show was amazing!! The worst part was when we paid. I suggest paying with cash because they double charged us!! Spent $70 and then had another pending charge for $70. I called about it and they said that that just happens. Now I have this money that I needed for gas on hold. It's been 6 days and still haven't gotten my money back. Very inconvenient. Probably won't go back because of this. Writing this review to hopefully save someone the trouble I've gone through.

Not a fan of all the pets in here... It's kinda gross and 100% again the health code. I'd prefer not to eat food with a possibility of extra things like fleas and diseases that could potentially get in the food/kitchen. I definitely won't be coming back...

Such an awesome place to hang out, have some snacks and drink some excellent craft beer.We are developing our own card card game and we get the absolute best vibe game-testing here. The outdoor seating is awesome in good weather and there is a ton of space indoors with the expansion.Look forward to every time we hang out at GameCraft Brewing.

Ordered some empanadas, pretzel appetizer and pulled pork. The pulled pork is spicy but good. The pretzels are just okay; they aren't very tasty even with the dip. We ordered 4 different empanadas: ham & cheese, philly cheese steak, curry and chicken florentine. Only half of those are good, the Philly cheese steak is just alright and ham & cheese is very boring. The place had a lot of seating and board games available, as well as areas to watch a game. It's a nice hang out for friends and family. Though it is our second time to go here, I am not so impressed with the food choices. Since this is a brewery and gaming place, perhaps food is not the highest priority.

The cashier was confused, but the atmosphere is top tier. He seemed to not understand my order. Sent my to go order, not to go. When I tried to get the to go container, he stopped.me. I think he might have been a little overwhelmed. Will definitely return. One tough day doesn't make a bad experience.

Great beers and tasty food. I recommend the loaded tater tots with the carnitas. Lots of big tables for large parties and an outdoor patio. Table games all over the place. I would love to see DDR and possibly a Kinect or something where you have to move around to control the video game.

This is a great hangout spot in South OC, their home brews are Tasty and fresh. Oh the chicken wings are good!!! And the venue is huge. Play the table games available

Some beers are phenomenal and very creative. The video game theme is fun and it’s nice to see how they celebrate the local game industry heritage with Blizzard. Good variety of board games available.The poor rating comes from three things:1): The poorly designed venue which makes it feel like a “event in progress of being built” or storage facility, this results in not really a very cozy or relaxing area and the volume of everyone’s voices carries through the rooms causing a constant high level of noise.2): At times incredibly slow and poor service, randomly the line and wait times will be surprisingly slow and I’m not quite sure why. So I guess the feedback is “inconsistent service”.3): Little no dietary options in the food menu whatsoever. It’s also clear they don’t educate their staff on this topic either as every staff member has different answers about what items can be changed to accommodate (with the most common answer just being that they don’t really have any options).

If you are a nostalgic nerd and enjoy beer you will like this establishment. Even if you're not, it's likely you will still have a grand ol' time.Trivia night is full of people with some serious contenders. Be sure to come early. I haven't tried the food yet and will comment on it later. Will recommend if you like games and craft brews. Good price on the liter lager.

Good snack food, empanadas were good. Nice beer selection. Great wings too! I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries and my with the smash cheese burger both were great

It’s a really cool place, especially that they have a lot of board games to play. But it is EXTREMELY HOT in there! Like there seems to be no AC and only two fans! Like that’s not enough so it made the experience uncomfortable

Tried many different dishes and the side sauces. All were very good. The light Lager beer was perfect. Our waiter was very attentive as well. It was my first time here and I will be back. Thanks for adding the birria tacos and the stand up comedy show.

Incredible local brewery that makes amazing beers, and perfect food. Thirsty? Come here and get some beer. Hungry? Come here and get some great food. They have a lot of space, so if you have a special event planned, consider booking here.

Beer great, I had the PaperboyWings, great! Nice and hot, a bit of heat on them, non-breaded, really good.Smash Burger, dry and cold-huge disappointment. All the signs of serving a patty of meat that had been sitting around for a while. Not good for a guy that is obsessed with smash burgers.I might come back, and I’ll need to request a freshly cooked burger. P.S. If you are hungry, order a double meat

Awesome local brewery in Laguna Hills, on furniture row near Big Air. Fun venue, great in-house craft beer, and interesting tasty food. Vegetarian options available. Tried the Spinach and Cheese, Ham and Cheese, and Beef Pot Roast Empanadas. Also had the Nachos Gigante - chips were fresh and so good! Definitely recommend the Goat Simulator Doppelbock, the Port-er-Fort Chocolate Porter was also good. I can see having the Arne Palmer on the patio during the summer. Lots of games everywhere: board games, card games, video games on screens and projected on the walls. Also had an impromptu brewery tour! Great service, good food, great tour, fun vibe. Will definitely be returning!

Had a great time! Live local so have been waiting awhile with excitement for them to open up. I lived the decor and game room. FOOD is soooooo good but a little pricey, as expected at most breweries. Favorites from tonight were the pretzels both app and dessert version and the carne flat bread. Can't wait to come back and play more board games with some beer! Only guest and collaboration beers so far, but good selection

We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Everyone was interacting with each other and/or playing games. No one was really on their cell phones and that was nice to see. Delicious small food items, good beer, and very friendly and efficient staff. The place was busy and the cashier was patient and helped me pick out something for us to eat. We recieved our food in good time as well.

The food was great and not nearly as expensive as similar places. Their selection of games wasn't huge, but it had some good ones. Waiting for a table kind of sucks, but I guess that's expected. The free water and coffee was nice, but the coffee was full of grounds.

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday which at 2pm was brunch here and I'm not even sad about it. We ordered the tater tots, pork sliders and the chile-killas. Highly recommend the chile-killas!!! It was served with over easy eggs and crispy chips... So good. We enjoyed our brunch and beers and played a few games. The beer selection was nice we both enjoyed our IPAs although next time I want to try a flight. We will be back and we'll bring more friends to play games with. 😁

Awesome beers, great folks serving ya too!June 2023 - What a bummer, this place has been great until tonight. It took what seemed like forever for my burger to show up, the tater tots were cold inside & I was told twice “it’s always busy on Wednesdays”. I’ll keep that in mind…
