Really enjoyed the overall experience here. The atmosphere is beautiful, very clean, and nicely decorated, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. Our waitress was excellent, attentive, friendly, and provided great service throughout. The mimosas were delicious, and the corned beef hash was really enjoyed. The fish and chips looked great, and it was nice trying the crème brûlée churros as well. It’s also located in a great downtown area with lots of shops around, so it was nice to walk around afterward and enjoy the surroundings while walking the food off haha. Overall, a lovely spot with great drinks, service, and ambiance. Would definitely come back.

One of the very few places in the OC that I love going to with my close friends on a Wednesday night. Especially when the Art Of Sax plays here! My go to meal here is specifically something light and good. Don't want anything too heavy, especially dancing on the dance floor, lol!
The Irish Country Salad I posted in the pic has apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts, croutons, frisee, radicchio, drizzled with honey vinaigrette. I highly recommend this salad when coming here!
Our server, Devin was pretty good despite the place was packed and he had alot of tables to wait on. My food came out pretty quick and he did check up on our table from time to time which is awesome. Never had an issue here service wise. Wednesday nights are always a fun night here with food, singing, and dancing!

Celebrated my friends bday party here with some friends. This is our spot we like coming to especially on Wednesday nights when the Art Of Sax band plays. They are so awesome! Will, Pebbles, and Eddie really know how to get people out on the floor dancing! If u bring ur own bday cake, Macallans will give u this candle in the video that goes out on its own. So cool! Great vibes and atmosphere here! Service and food is also top notch! They have a full menu with different delicious items to choose from, like what I got. The Patty's Patty Melt on the a la carte side of the menu. Got it with a side of seasoned wedge fries. A must try!

Macallans Public House is located in Downtown Brea and it’s the #1 WHISKEY BAR IN ORANGE COUNTY, with largest selection of scotch and over 400 different whiskeys, including some of the rarest and hardest to find.
With a lively Irish Pub ambience and satisfying Irish comfort foods with a contemporary spin, I can see why this place is so popular!
Their Reuben Sandwich had tender corned beef, kraut, Havarti cheese, Mac sauce with marble rye bread and crispy onion rings. Classics like their Fish-n-Chips was crispy and flaky cod with crispy thick fries. Both so hearty, flavorful and delicious!!
I was surprised to find out that they have a Hidden Speakeasy so of course I had to check it out! The charm and cozy atmosphere where Members and non-Members can enjoy is one of the reasons why this pub is a favorite!
Their Nine Social Wine Bar is next door and it is simply gorgeous!!
They have weekly events like Pub Trivia, Magic of Mike O’Brien, Whiskey Dinner Pairings, Whiskey Class and more. Make sure to make reservations.
Jess had the most gracious and wonderful customer service!! Thank you to Aaron for giving me a tour of the Speakeasy and their Nine Social Wine Bar next door.

Great atmosphere, tasty food in large portions, excellent service.
We had a problem with the coleslaw in the fish and chips, and they immediately took care of it.
