Native Son Alehouse

Nicest team in the front and a fantastic kitchen. Best selection of Local brews and regional excellence.

Love to come here. The view from the patio is just awesome. The craft beers are great and it's always different. They have snacks etc depending on the hour. But they are closed on Sundays ????

Great restaurant. Great patio. Perfect setting to highlight both the Orange County beer culture and the gentrification of Santa Ana. There is a wide selection of interesting beers on tap. Most are from Southern California. Another interesting feature is the attached BBQ -- famous for its smoked wings. Sweet patio -- with benches that appear to have been made from recycled stadium bleachers -- overlooks the downtown area . It's well-heated for those cold nights. We will return here.

Always like coming here when I'm in the area. Or even come here just because. Not a huge beer list, but what they have is always really good stuff, with great variety that plays to my favorites: Good IPAs, sours and big stouts. They have a BBQ joint attached now, which we haven't tried but it seems nice. Love the outdoor upper patio overlooking the street and the nice friendly staff they have. Great spot, if you're in the area.
