Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Quaint brewery with plenty of offerings, friendly, knowledgeable bar staff, and a spacious outdoor patio!
Beers: Huge variety! Beer 1: Far Out IPA with Thai tea: IPA up front with Thai tea taste in the back with a slightly mild sweetness. ($7.42) Beer 2: Far Out FOG IPA: Hazy IPA with a juicy, citrus flavor ($7.42) The joint: Bootlegger's: Costa Mesa is locatwd behind THE LAB. Not as big as the original Bootleggers in Fullerton, but there is still a little patio out front and about 10 parking spots out front. Over the weekend we ended up here for a bday celebration with about 15 people. The staff was super accommodating when we asked them if tables could be re-arranged to fit everyone. Brook, our beertender was a superstar. She made sure our tables were clear of glasses and even helped bus our tables of food. Brook even brought out a beer shot for our bday boy! Gypsy Den and LA brisket deliver we here if you're in need of the munchies!
In the lab, behind parking lot with huge outdoor space, fun people watching. We had the Swimming In Dreams Hazy and Far Out West IPA. Then the OC Crusher and Electrocat Hazy DIPA. Oh and the staff is friendly and fun. Thanks guys🙌
It's time to go to The LAB and have a drink in Costa Mesa #TODAYinSOCAL #bootleggersbrewery #thelabantimall #brewery #CostaMesa #Foodie
Excellent quality craft beers. Over 2 dozen beers on tap. Very industrial ambience. All they have is beer. No wine, no hard alcohol, no mixed drinks. You can get a bag of chips. Or you can order food from any of The Lab restaurants to be delivered.
