This latest gastropub in Corona del Mar is an adjunct to Five Crowns, part of the Lawry's Restaurant empire (yes, the one synonymous with prime rib). Charcuterie is its point of pride, but sometimes the chef, who splits his duties with the tonier Five Crowns next door, will do his Irish lamb stew, a tiny pot of chunky meat, potatoes and carrots. It seems appropriate to wash it down with a foamy glass of Guinness. They, of course, have it on tap along with all manner of alcohol, from a microbrew by Placentia's the Bruery to absinthe. This gastropub lives up to the "pub" part of the term as much as it does the "gastro."

SideDoor doesn't keep hundreds of taps--this isn't an award for most numerous beer selection--but it does keep a well-curated, constantly rotating selection of great beers. At any given time, there are around a dozen beers on tap, ranging from funky Old Speckled Hen to dark Affligems that need to be nursed to a cast of characters from local OC brewers. The beers change as the kegs run out, so every visit reflects a different list. While draft beer is the way to go, there's also a... More »
Seen a gastropub lately? Second only to gourmet trucks, the prevailing food trend in OC this year is the recent proliferation of gastropubs. SideDoor, one of the newest as of this writing, gets the formula right (if there were such a thing). It actually feels like an English tavern from a movie-set designer's sketchbook on English taverns. Sit on plush couches from Masterpiece Theater or booths that allow you to nuzzle your frosty mug of ale in private. The food is of the... More »
