Came by on a Sunday to hang out and have some brunch. The apple cider mimosas were delicious and definitely worth $10/bottle. The maple french toast was amazing!! Im not a huge fan of maple but these were perfectly balanced in flavor! Highly recommend stopping by for brunch!
Awesome Alehouse, with experienced Ale-ologists to help you with your ale selection. Picking a beer is not my strong point, but the doctors on staff will help you find something to your taste. Great staff! Great outdoor patio and located conveniently above The Frida Cinema for when we open our cinema doors again. Thanks, Native Son Alehouse!
Rad little dive bar. Was hanging last night and the whole bar burst into song like everyones favorite Buffy episode.And super dog friendly. They have cute copper bowls for puppers water.
Very fun bar, lots of unique craft brews. They have good music too.
Love to come here. The view from the patio is just awesome. The craft beers are great and its always different. They have snacks etc depending on the hour. But they are closed on Sundays 😢
I love the terrace and fire pit, specially now that its freezing outside! you can actually have a nice talk and enjoy fresh beer😂.
Decided to check out this joint & wasnt disappointed. Their version of a snakebite is like a regular snakebite but on steroids. Awesome bartender with a friendly attitude, beware though: if your plan is to meet girls here, its a hit or miss..cheers..!
Good atmosphere but communication with bar staff is poor and most dive bars mix better drinks.
Awesome place.you gotta check this place out. Great food and the beer goes down easy. The staff is on point there. 😁
Native Son Alehouse is a great little beer garden on a second floor in the city of santa Ana California. The beers my group or friends and I tasted were all pretty good they have a good viriety. So no matter your preference I am confident you will find one that you will like. The place is not terribly big just like any of this breweries that have been popping up in the last few years but is a good size but those standards. If you plan to go on Friday night or a weekend definitely be prepared for it to have a crowd. The people it attracts as customers seem to be friendly young professionals the great majority when I was there. The staff was good and knowledgeable. I ended up getting my beer called the life coach I had to sense that is what I do lol! It was a nice blonde crisp beer. All in all definitely worth going to check out if you are interested in having good beers and chill with your friends
Brunch time. Good food, service and gr8 bottomless mimosas
Sat on the wonderful rooftop patio with views of downtown Santa Ana and had a great time enjoying excellent beers and the amazing Native Fries (which are like an upgraded animal style fry from in and out) with my wife. The service was amazing! The server was always around waiting and looking to help those eating and drinking, making sure they were satisfied, but also never interrupted or imposed on our conversation.
Loved it! Super friendly staff and great feel! I had an Eastside cocktail and I enjoyed it
Great beer and always something new. This was my go-to bar in DTSA. I used to come here a lot because of that but the only drawback is some of the bartenders can be straight up rude (two of them in particular). Others are cool and nice, but its a damper when you come in on the days when unfriendly/rude staff are working.
Nicest team in the front and a fantastic kitchen. Best selection of Local brews and regional excellence.
The food is great. Super friendly. Great energy. Great drinks.
It you are in Santa Ana this is a must see place. The beer is amazing. 🍻🍻🍻
Nice beer selection in DTSA! I cant believe Pure Project lost in the final four though. Which means Im going to have to try out Horus.
This place has an awesome selection of beers, a great atmosphere, the bartenders are superb, and some great grab food.
Always a great time when I visit Native Son! Great beer selection and now with the added cocktails, it really is a place everyone can enjoy!
If you read a review [of a beer], we probably dont have it. Said the bartender. Huge variety, always changing taps, quality beer. Great aesthetics, great food, great everything.
Friendly staff, wide variety of on tap beer. i didnt have any food but it did smell good. nice patio area and well located in downtown santa ana, across from 4th street market
Used to be my regular spot a Great selection of beers and an open patio with a nice view of DTSA. But thats no longer the case. Went in July 22 after a hard day and found the 🍺 tender pretty condescending. I asked for a certain beer. Said they didnt have it. I asked for a taste and was given about 7 drips of the wrong beer. She was irritated when she realized she served me a cider and then gave me about 5 drops of the IPA i requested. Just a really petty and unwelcoming experience thats indicative of whats exactly wrong with the gentrification of DTSA. Try Bird & Barrel or Wursthaus right next door. Better food and great service.
Fantastic beer selection, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly staff. Big thanks to Alexa, Sky, and Claire for making us feel welcome. Will happily return in the future!
Definitely dig this place, great service, & really good food. A hidden gem in Santa Ana, so glad theyre a full service bar now. My wife and I enjoyed our brunch today!! Thank you!!
Great selection of beer! And theyre one of the very few people who actually have Pliny The Elder on draft, such an amazing beer!!! Their food is absolutely delicious as well. Definitely will be going back!
Excellent selection of beers on draft as well as great cocktail options. Upstairs with a cozy patio, very cool spot in DTSA.
They got plenty of great beers on tap from breweries such as Russian River and Hop Valley that keep me coming back. Great place to come hang out in Downtown Santa Ana. Plenty of seats available on a Friday night, the location is not rowdy whatsoever. Expect to pay between six and ten dollars for most of the beers on tap.
I stopped in for a beer, my first time here. I was extremely impressed with the guy behind to bar, Mike. He was extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of beer. They have over 30 different beers on tap. Everyone that came in seemed to know Mike, he was super friendly and made my afternoon great. I will stop in again Everytime I am back in that area. What a fun place to drink a beer or two.
Everything at this place was awesome. It was a good visit and love my visit here.
Always like coming here when Im 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 havent tried but it seems nice. Love the outdoor upper patio overlooking the street and the nice friendly staff they have. Great spot, if youre in the area.
Fantastic happy hour options. Food and drinks were delicious. My only knock on this place was that their heaters outside were off and it was a cold night, other than that it was a great spot to have some beer and appetizers.
This place only serves craft beer and they no longer have BBQ. If they had some domestic beers in bottles and didnt overcharge, Id give them 4 stars. If they could keep a consistent kitchen or food concept, Id give them 5 stars. If youre wondering why I came here in the first place if i dont like craft beer, its because I was here with friends. I bought a can of Coca Cola and a $13 soggy cheeseburger with cold fries. I most likely will pass on this place next time someone suggests it.
Stopped in for a beer before heading across the street for dinner at the Playground. Nice ambiance and craft beer selection. Tried out a cherry stout and was pleasantly surprised by the balance of coffee flavor of the stout and the sweet yet tart hint of cherry. We sat out on the balcony to enjoy the cool night and watch people going by.
Great rooftop bar with the most epic fries!!
The male bartender gave himself 40% tip off of my card without asking, that was so abusive. He wasnt even nice!
Great, relaxing environment! The drinks are great and reasonably priced. Ive never had a bad time here
Dope spot to get away from the heat and have a beer. I like to come here and read for a bit. They have some very comfortable couches. The bartenders are nice and there’s a balcony if you want to hang outside.
Native Son has a great selection of beer, they have select ciders and sours from other breweries, and they have food now too. The outdoor patio looks over plaza cuatro on 4th street which gives it a cool laid back vibe. They also have a DJ that plays funk or soul music on select nights of the month.
Great beer, great service, great patio. HOG HEAVEN!
Good selection on beers and nice patio. The people are really friendly. Only reason for the 4/5 is that we wanted to eat there when we got there at 12 but they were not ready to serve food until 2 so we had to go to 4th Street market to eat first before coming back here.
Its a good bar but the music is playing way too loud. Hard to hear people Im talking to
Native Sons is amazing. The brew is always changing and the wings are an absolute delight. Outside food is even allowed. Theres a great smoking area where you can hang out and enjoy the view while you taste the crisp cold craft beer. They have live bands and Djs on the weekends. Dog friendly. Perfect place to hang out on art walk day or any day!
Unfortunate experience, hopefully one time thing. Heard rave reviews about the BBQ. This is not an inexpensive place to eat. One has expectations of a decent eating experience. Friend and I went before noon on a Sunday, perhaps 9 other people were there as well. Minor complaint of no ice, went downstairs to another restaurant for that. When food was ready, person behind the counter pointed to a cart near the kitchen. Couldnt see our food behind the large garbage can literally touching the cart. Asked for forks, again he pointed, this time across the room, no forks, only spoons. They were out of fries so chose cornbread. Cornbread was stale, hard, cold, uneatable. Nearly $50 for two people...
Omg!!! This place is so freaking awesome!!! The food is excellent and the customer service is outstanding. Came here and was not disappointed whatsoever! Thanks guys
This is a nice place to stop bye and have a beer or two standing. Not much seating available, but what they do have is many craft beers on tap.If youre a beer drinker this place is sure to have something of your liking.
Quick to get the cash from you, ordered the $11 burger, made burgers from Jackin the box look n taste like royal gourmet. Once food was ready none offered condiments or even napkins, you have to be somewhat drunk to actually like the chicken wings here... Ok place to drink, definitely not a place to eat at all.
This place is absolutely one of the most attractive restaurants in the area. Anytime I come there I am incredibly pleased. They preserve their high standard service and the highest level of dishes they serve. You can never go wrong with this restaurant. Highly recommended.
Curly bearded hipster wearing a flannel and a white hat bartending was completely rude and non welcoming, every time I come here I have a great time. Today was not good he was just plain rude
Called ahead & asked if the have any vegetarian options and they said yes, many. They didnt have anything besides fries and onion rings and those were $5-$6 a piece, which is silly. The menu is pretty pricey and very limited. Once they run out of something, that is it. However, they do have a couple specials and a decent craft beer selection on tap but dont offer flights. They dont do table service but that is no big deal. We took the bigger table inside since we had a big party and the table was a mess from the people that were there before. I took the guy at the counter, who wasnt busy, 15 minutes to come pick it up and he looked confused on how to do it when he finally did. He also went out the side door and came back in & left the door wide open, knowing very well it was cold & windy out. The food was nothing special and not worth the price, 10 of the 11 people who actually ate in our party felt the same way. Substitutions for anything are NOT allowed. My 19 y/o niece ordered her food, which came with a beer and they wouldnt allow her to change her drink and had to pay an additional fee for her soda. The guy at the counter didnt even check her ID and just gave her the beer. She would never have drank it but are you kidding me? Never again.
Super cute place. Its a really romantic place, but also good for a casual date or beer with buddies. During the day they offer shaded tents. There is also a place designated for smokers. Overlooks downtown Santa Ana.
This place usually isnt too crowded and has a good selection of American craft beers. As someone who loves craft beer but is not a big fan of IPAs I was pretty happy with the selection of beers on tap
Native Son Alehouse is a new hot spot in Downtown Santa Ana. This is not a brewery but rather a craft beer bar offering 24 different taps to satisfy anyones palate. They have only been open for a couple months now, but it quickly has become one of my favorite spots to grab a drink with some friends. Native Son is located on the second floor above Taqueria Guadalajara and adjacent from The Playground. I would recommend the parking structure behind the pub or the street parking (if you can find a spot).I attended the soft opening which a major success. It felt like a Grand Opening because of the people whom were present. My group and I got the pleasure to meet the owner; Jon Sanchez who was present, ensuring everyone was having a good time. The beer bar provides bar, indoor, and patio seating. I highly recommend sitting outside because the view is spectacular. Enjoy your favorite drink overlooking Downtown Santa Ana...love it. There is also a long wooden table, very similar to the Copper Door which is good for large groups.Native Son also has Happy Hour specials Monday - Friday from 4pm - 7pm. Check it out!Recently, Native Son has expanded their food menu. I have not experienced the full menu yet but only the two options they had before the expansion; Fried Chicken Sandwich and Brussels Sprout Chips. Both were very good and paired well with the craft beer.Downtown Santa Ana is definitely reshaping, offering locals & tourists many different businesses to during your visit. Native Son Alehouse is clear winner because of their extensive tap list, food, atmosphere, and overall experience. Love this place and highly recommend to anyone visiting Downtown Santa Ana.
My favorite beer spot in DTSA but staff are being lax on face coverings. This isnt San Clemente or HB. We respect science in Santa Ana. Wear your mask before everything gets shut back down
Yep...beer and barbecue. With an awesome second floor patio deck overlooking Calle Cuatro. Broad selection of beers from several local OC and SoCal breweries. Addition of Ember BBQ was genius. Kansas City style dishes are authentic and excellent. Loved the beef brisket combo plate with beans and corn bread. Washed it down with Blackhouse Coffee Stout on nitro by Modern Times. Cheers!
Casual dinning, top notch chef, first class dishes. Sunday brunch is the best from the champagne to the exquisite food choices expertly crafted by chef Alex
One of the best spots to grab a beer in DTSA! They have lots of local breweries on tap and the staff is extra amazing. They are fun and helpful and just so great.
It was a strong 3 , nice beer selection . Food could use some soul in the kitchen . A bit bland . Overall rooftop seating is amazing great place to have a date and talk.
In the heart of downtown Santa Ana this large open air 2nd floor deck is a great space to unwind. Good selection of regional craft beers and some decent bar food if you get hungry.
This place has a good selection of beer from many breweries. This is a great place to meet friends for a beer when they either dont agree on what type of beer they want or want a variety of styles to try.
Lots of potential on the patio but its sparsley populated with very random patio furniture. The space could be used for so much more. Also, despite having their taplist on a video board, they dont update what theyre out of (which is a few things when I was visiting) which makes for a dissapointing experience.
Cool bar in downtown with a good selection of beers. Its on the second floor and has a large outdoor patio which overlooks downtown Santa Ana. They also have food (the brussels sprouts are good).
Always a good place to grab a beer and hang out with some friends. They have a really nice outdoor patio and the staff is always incredibly nice and friendly. I always ask for a recommendation and they always come through with good beers.
NOT A BREWERY! Nice place to hangout and drink craft beer. Had many local craft beer on tap. Must try their Brussel Sprouts Chips and Fried Jalopeños.Public parking is behind the Alehouse. Sit on the patio and enjoy the view of 4th St. Santa Ana.
I was minding my own business drinking a beer holding it with two hands over the ledge when a security guard came up to me cussing me out to keep my drink away from the ledge. I would have been fine with it, but i really didnt appreciate him getting in my face and cussing. Not drunk enough to deal with that. Put my half full drink down and left.
Pricey yet comfy. Has a full bar, food menu and happy hour now!
Good spot to grab a beer. Many options, should find something for everyone. Plus for a large patio.
Love this spot. Next tommy house so I can come thru during happy hour
Love the atmosphere and the drink menu is really extensive. Youll find something you like
Good atmosphere, good beer and delicious 🍔
Great spot with a nice view and good beer. Good music selection playing when I was there. The brisket from Ember BBQ was great, and the fries were good too.
Cold Tasty beer. Awsome service. and lets not forget the parrots cruising around.
Theyre doing great job by having everyone outside, using face mask, an making sure everyone is social distancing. I felt safe being there an enjoying my night.
One of the better beer spots in Santa Ana if you are looking for good beer. Large outdoor patio and selection of beers make it a good spot.
Everytime I come its bad news. Either I cant hang or their beers are stronger than advertised. Not sure if its fair for me to deduct a star for my weak sauceness.
Love the beer selection and their love for beer. If it wasnt for them, I would not have tried Modern Times, my favorite brewery, and the Good Beer Co, local brewery.
Awesome meat, frozen rose in a box (froze), great brew selection, rooftop patio. This place is so chill and awesome for people watching.
Great brews and staff! Always my go to when I want a relaxing atmosphere and a good beer. Thanks guys!
Decent beer selection but bad chicken wings!!!! I order a pound of smoked wings... they were not smoked, they were under cooked and not very tasty, I ate one an a half wings and the rest ended up in the trash.
Beers are decent, vibe is good. Food could be better.
This place is always a to go place for my friends and I. We normally come here for beers and recently I came here with my boyfriend for beer and their food. The food was super good. I definitely recommend the food.
Seating is sometimes insufficient but overall still a good spot to hangout for a beer or 2. Would visit again if Im in the area but I wouldnt come back to the area specifically for this place.
Some excellent quality brews on selection! Bartender Ryan was exceptional with his knowledge and advice on all the different fine beers!
Great place, good drinks and friendly service. I love the outside seating.
Love coming here and trying out beer I havent had. Great environment and awesome working crew.
Cool spot for craft beer, the roof deck is lacking a cozy ambiance and the crowd is mainly craft beer heads and restaurant industry folks.
Great beer selection and has a BBQ joint attached to it that serves amazing food. Try the lollipop chicken wings!
Very cool place to hang out and enjoy some beers! Great selection of beer. Fun place for sure
Spacious second floor outdoor patio. Good place to be easy and enjoy beer. Music and noise level vary.
This place always has an interesting beer selection, it just doesnt match up with what Im looking for very often
Great beers on tap that are always changing and always friendly staff! Slightly higher prices than nearby beer bars though.
Great local beer selection!! Little pricey, but worth it. Thursday Thursdays are awesome.
Great beer and delicious paninis.
Great beer selection. Prices all conveniently work out to even dollar amounts after tax.
Good atmosphere. The food is limited to wings and a sandwich but its great food to go with a beer
Low key place, good bbq and IPAs. Nice view on 2nd floor looking at 4th St
Nice afternoon patio kinda place. Great selection of beers and really tasty BBQ.
Dined with my son, we split a rib plater, a little light on the portion of ribs but food and all the sides were delicious.
Cool spot in downtown Santa Ana. Only had one beer but need to cone back, at least for the vibe.

2022-03-16The beer selection is always great. They have seating with a nice view over 4th Street in downtown Santa Ana. If you happen to be up there near sunset youre in for some beautiful views. Cant go wrong with this place for some brews.

2022-02-28I came here for brunch and bottomless mimosas. Was not expecting much of the food quality since it is a bar, but the food was amazing, as was the service and vibe. This will definitely be my go to breakfast spot from now on. Portions are nice too!

2022-05-14Friday night and they had great music and great cocktails! But expect to wait 10-15 minutes in line to get a drink and another 20 minutes to makes it. There were only 2 bartenders for a crowded bar

2022-04-08My go-to spot when Im in downtown but notworking. I love to show this place to everyone who hasnt been. Its such a good time with good drinks and great beer selection.

2020-11-06Awesome rooftop patio. Great vibe, everyone seemed to be having a good time. It wasnt uncomfortably crowded but some groups did need to wait a few minutes to get tables, if you dont mind standing with your beer or pulling up a bench with no table, theres really no problem. Or you can wait a few minutes for one to open up. There was indoor seating with large, open patio doors and outdoor seating. There were 20+ taps with lots of tasty choices. I was stoked to get Pliny the Elder on draft! Nice and cold. Very laid back place, staff were around running food and beers to people, grabbing trash and empties. Will definitely return, Id suggest anyone looking for a nice beer selection to come check this place out!

2018-12-17Great 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 . Its well-heated for those cold nights. We will return here.

2019-04-30Just stuck around long enough to have a few beers while passing through the area. The place seemed very spacious and the staff were very friendly. Great beer too!
