What Stephanni T likes about Barley Forge Brewing Company:
I can't believe this place is closing after five awesome years. We come to this place a lot, and the staff, beer, and food have always been great. I think it's a shame their landlord is pushing them out. They bring a lot of foot traffic to the area, so I am not sure what I'm missing here. Farewell barley forge, I'll miss you guys a lot!!! Ps) the owner Maryanne will be missed too! View all feedback. What Matt F doesn't like about Barley Forge Brewing Company:
Barley Forge is now closed, and while they were the first big brewery in Costa Mesa, the hardcore craft beer scene in Orange County is mostly relieved to see them gone. While their intentions may have been good before opening the brewery, they had a long run of serving consistently low quality or infected beers and treating their staff poorly. They do get an extra star for serving decent food and having free popcorn. View all feedback.

Good food with great beer selection. Noise level was high, typical of a brewery. I'm back.

Good beers. The food was good. Tuna sandwich had a nice presentation, but was average. Fries were a little limp. Bare burgers really good.

Great beer, good food. The owner will most likely be there and she has a very nicely run place. You wont go wrong coming here.
