The El Chango beer was good, vibe was chill, and employee was friendly BUT the restroom was awful. The smell of urine penetrated my nostrils to the point it sobered me up good. Also no paper towels or air to dry your hands. Parking can also be tricky here. If you know, you know where to go to get a spot here.

This is our go-to spot when we are at the Lab. The ambiance is great, they have a nice outdoor area that has just the right vibe. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends and family friendly. The service is efficient, fast, and friendly, and most importantly the beer selection is great and ever changing. The are in the back right corner of the Lab in Costa Mesa. Been to this spot and the Fullerton one. Both awesome.

Cool spot with plenty around. Beers are solid, the El Changon is a solid beer. Big fan of their light and refreshing selection.
Outdoor space is perfect, and the vibe is immaculate. Lots of seating plenty of merch, would recommend for an after pizza beer.

Stopped by to try out for first time. Have good selections and fair prices. Had the Ugly Molly, a Scotch Ale, that was well balanced. Definitely a recommended spot for brewer hopping.
