This gastropub lives up to the "pub" part of the term as much as it does the "gastro."

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 »

    SideDoor Is Gastro-Sensational

    | Thu, March 11, 2010

    Here’s an easy prediction: OC will see more gastropubs. The Crow Bar and Kitchen got the ball rolling a little more than two years ago in Corona del Mar. Then came Haven in Orange. The latest is SideDoor, also in Corona del Mar, an adjunct to Five... More »
