The karaoke here on a Saturday is unmatched fun and the crowd is generally just wonderful. I love the pastrami sandwich and the home made chicken fingers are outrageous. Average number of beer taps with a varied selection full bar and fun bartenders!

One of the best pastrami sandwiches you can find in socal. Im used to brix being a wine bar, but for whatever reason it has become more like a regular bar in terms of drinks selection, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but just different. I wish more people would know to come for brunch, the fried food dishes are really pretty good.

This was the 1st time coming here for my dad and I. In my opinion the food was delicious but it was not to my dads liking. I guess it all depends on our own food preferences. They provided a side of what chips which were delicious. The waiter was really nice. Afterwards we asked if we could leave our car parked there for a bit so that we can go kayaking and they were kind enough to let us leave it there.

They have 20 beers on tap and give you tasters!I had the pastrami sandwich and it was delicious. They put coleslaw on the sandwich, which sounded weird, but it was a great complementary flavor. It came with giant potato chips that were fresh, beautifully crispy, and tasty. I think theyd just been fried.Service was very prompt and attentive when needed. Michael checked to make sure everything was OK and came when we were done to see if we wanted/needed anything else, which shows he kept a surreptitious eye on us.So...delicious food and prompt service!

Pretty good overall.Large wine and beer selection although we dont drink so cannot comment much on that.Nice atmosphere.We came here on a Groupon which was a good deal but most likely wouldnt come here without a Groupon as the prices seem a bit high although in this area, I guess you pay more than inland areas.

We rode bikes from HB and were looking for a place to have lunch where we could sit outside. We rode up to Brix, we were welcomed in and offered to bring our bikes in the gated area. Scotty the server greeted us and talked about the menu. He suggested the Fugghedaboutit pastrami sandwich. My mom and I ordered the Brix house salad, I really wanted the try the Mediterranean bowl but they were out of that and thr thai shrimp salad. Scotty was great and very informative, he shared some history of the place and was nice company in between bringing food and drinks. It was 12 on a Monday so we were the only people there. Service was great and Ill probably go back.

We came out see our friend Bill perform with his band. First time to this wine bar, they are in the midst of changing ownership so seems a bit understaffed. However, service was courteous and friendly.It was a nice group of us coming to see Bill. Music was awesome, by the way. We got lucky and sat at the last seats available at the bar. Definitely my preferred seating location. Good view of the musicians. Good accessibility to the bartenders too!We had a few glasses of wine each. Ordered the sautéed mushrooms and toasted baguette, but that night they served with pita bread which was good anyway.Also ordered the coconut shrimp with sweet and sour sauce. Tasty.Probably should have ordered like a burger or something, because I definitely drank more than I ate. (Yes, we did take lyft here! Dont drink and drive!!)We also had a good beer to top off our evening. It was something peanut buttery. WOW. Good stuff. Need to come back for beer nite.

My kids had fun but it is way over priced for the rides And there are only 4 and for unlimited its 25.00 a child or 5.00 or 10.00 a ride.. the scenery is pretty but the price is ridiculous.

My boyfriend and I walked in and walked out.Neither of the 2 bar tenders even acknowledged us, the cook did.There was a guy singing karaoke, sitting at a table.The tables were dirty, grimmy, and it was a horrid cave that stank.Sadly, there was NO SIGN of the work Jon Taffer did on Bar Rescue.

Delicious BBQ hamburger with bacon and huge onion ring. It was huge and tastes great! Also, Brix romaine salad with candied walnuts and grapes and apples was exceptionally delicious!

Cozy, good beer. Happy hour all day Monday. We came for paint night through Paint and Vino. The garlic fries and chicken tenders were good. The burger and pastrami sandwich were really big and filling. The draft beer was good. The margarita unfortunately was bottled.

Visited for happy hour with a group. Good food. Didnt try the wine (it is a wine bar), but theres also a variety of beers. Happy hour pricing isnt that happy. Staff is friendly, but service was slow the night we were there (probably our fault as our group doubled the crowd). Live music by a good group of musicians.

Review №33

Excellent service! Wonderful wines! We enjoyed the wine tasting and the sommelier was helpful, and fun....but the reason its getting four and not five stars is the cheese plate. Ugh....the cheese plate, if youre serving wine and offer a cheese plate, please make the effort. The candied nuts should be added to the plate when serving, not on the previously prepared plate that is sitting in the refrigerator, they get soggy. The dried fruits should also be added when youre ready to serve so you can actually bite them without breaking teeth. Also maybe add some honey and crackers....it is, after all, a cheese plate....with wine...All of that said, well definitely be going back!

Review №38

The atmosphere is dark and pretty uncomfortable. If you like the food here cool, but I had the worst pastrami sandwich Ive ever had here. It tasted as if the meat had been bought a week ago and it was still being used, and the coleslaw in the sandwich also seemed old and discoloured. They may be good on some day but today was quite bad

Nice views. Plenty of sand as far as the eye can see. This is not a typical sunbathing beach. Still, a lot recreation is to be had here. The parking is ample. Crowds were not an issue in the mid-week. Definite must see if you are in the area.

0 stars. Waited almost an hour after ordering to receive our food. It was lunch time and not that busy. Garlic fries were soaked in oil. They were a soggy mess. BBQ bacon burger had no bacon and very little flavor. I didnt say anything because I didnt want to wait another hour. Other guests were not happy either. The manager said they were waiting on a delivery and were out of stuff. Its a new owner and she appeared to not know what was going on or cared. What was once an $8 beer 3 months ago is now $11. We will not be back.

Great place with good selection of beers on tap. Burgers and sandwiches are amazing. The garlic fries are a little HEAVY on the garlic for my taste, so I stick with the normal fries or chips. Would recommend to anyone!

Casual, friendly, good service, delicious food. The made fresh garlic fries, a delicious side to the best ever Hot Pastrami sandwiches are my favorite. Great menu. Good wine and beer selection. Entertainment usually Thursday thru Sunday. Paint nights are fun. Our favorite go to place when in the area.

I attended a Mothers Day plant night at Brix. Although I enjoyed the company and I enjoyed the project that we made at the plant night. I was not impressed by the service or the food. The service by the one gentleman that seem to be waiting on our entire area was good. He was as efficient as could be expected. But I just feel that they were understaffed for the amount of people that were in attendance. I had chicken strips and they were not good and one of my big gripes about restaurants that sell chicken strips is how stingy they are with the ranch dressing! If you spend $13 for chicken strips you could expect to get a little more than a half a cup of ranch dressing thats as thin as water. I personally appreciate the people that I was with and the project, but again I was unimpressed with Brix and have no intention of returning there. However, my brother dies live 2 blocks ( walking distance) from Brix... If He suggests going there sometime, I just may give it another try. But thats only if my brother suggests it!

Jo
Review №53

Brix has a lot to offer. They have great beer and wine lists. Its a very repaved relaxed place that frequently features local musicians. The food doesnt disappoint either. Id imbibe more of it werent for the prices.

Review №55

My boyfriend and I went there for lunch today. The wings were ok. My boyfriend had the fish and chips, which was good. I had the steak sandwich... the chef must have thought I was a vampire or something because ALL I could taste was garlic. I must’ve ate 5 garlic cloves in just half of the sandwich. The aioli sauce had no flavor other than garlic. She also over cooked the steak. Sucks because it was a really long wait to get our food in the first place.Our waiter was great, although he was the only waiter/bar tender in the whole restaurant. Service was pretty slow, but it wasn’t his fault. They need to hire more wait staff.

Review №56

This place seems to be hit or miss. I enjoyed my burger but the other burger at the table was overdone. The chips they come with were tasteless and greasy. Pastrami sandwich was good but the tomato bisque was spicy for some reason?? Chicken strips were overcooked and mostly breading but the garlic fries were amazing. They also ran out of several menu items and we were there before the lunch rush.Server was very friendly but service itself was slow. Entrees all came out at different times (even the burgers which youd think would be cooked simultaneously). Took forever to get the check. And with how little seating is inside youd think theyd want to move people as quickly as possible to make room for the next guests.

Cool little bar right on the border of sunset and huntington beach... they have an amazing selection of beers on tap and really tasty food for a decent price. On wednesdays they have a comedy open mic night which is tons of fun! Definitely worth checking out if youre looking for a chill place to pick up a beer.

MG Club of So Cal stopped by to eat after one of our outings. i didnt know what to expect but found the surrounding inviting and homey. The hamburger my wife split was more than enough and extremely tasty, so much that we are going back tonight for more. We ordered sweet potatoe fries as part of our meal but another club member ordered potato chips. Those potato chips were home made - not too thin, crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Another reason we are going back again, they were the best Ive ever. The atmosphere friendly, waitress witty and funny with pleasant disposition.

Husband and I had the house-made potato chips, onion rings, Brix salad plus beer and wine. Everything was very well done; chips crispy, onion rings perfect and the salad had a deft touch. My only critical remarks would be to remove the hand painted sign outside and straighten up the outside patio. Service was very friendly and its a half block from Sunset Beach.

The restaurant it self was ok. Nice little chick place. The service average. The food was so disappointing. We ordered a couple of burgers with fries. We got a a burger with sandwich bread and instead of fries we got potatoe chips. I would have liked to be advised of it before I ordered to make another desicion. Nothing was done to compensate the issues. Not that we expected anything for free but the least that they could have done was apologize and not charged us for the order of fries we ordered which came with our burgers. Will not go to this place again sorry. Gave it a 3 star because painting class was ok.

The venue is much too small to have live, amplified music. The menu has some really nice items, but most of it is overpriced. It would appear that the chef expects you to eat the food as prepared, because you have to ask for salt and pepper at the table!
