Hq Gastropub

HQ was a blast! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch! Plus the ambiance is great - plenty of TVs if you want to hang out and watch sports, gaming tables, spacious, cool music, great vibe. And you can still have a conversation, it’s not that noisy. My wife and I ate at the bar and Frankie was our server. He was outstanding. We were obviously tourists, and not exactly young, and this place has a hip vibe. Frankie treated us really well, made us feel very welcomed and appreciated. He attended to us quickly, checked on us periodically (at just the right times), he was friendly and helpful with the menu, and bartenders like Frankie are the reason we prefer the interaction of eating at the bar. But he was far from the only friendly staff member. Just about everyone we interacted with - food delivery, other servers, etc. - everyone was pleasant and actually greeted us (a really pleasant blonde server comes to mind here). And the food was truly excellent. Man, I’m still thinking about that awesome pretzel! Absolutely perfect. My wife has a gluten allergy and said screw it, this thing looks too good to pass up. And she was right. Soft and fluffy on the inside, perfectly done outside, a little glaze, and both cheese and syrup (yes, syrup) to dip it in. I was hesitant about the syrup at first but wow, that combination is a big winner! The burger was delicious, great flavor, cooked to (for me, medium well) the perfect temperature, soft bun, fresh lettuce, tomato and onion, and accompanying fries hot and tasty. Very nice. A lot of locals enjoy this place and it was great to feel comfortable and welcome. This was actually our 32nd wedding anniversary and had planned originally to eat at a high end steak and seafood restaurant, changed our minds, and are incredibly happy we did. We’ll remember this really fun experience for a long time.

We loved the food! Cheese curds were perfect, hamburgers cooked to perfection. The service did well to accommodate our special requests and dietary needs. We were well taken care of.

HQ Gastro pub in Huntington Beach California was great! It offers everything you could want in a beach town pub - ample parking (structure parking just off 6th and PCH), casual feel, lots of TVs for the sports enthusiasts, music playing, fantastic food, a wide variety of amazing beers on tap, and a prime location just a stone's throw away from the iconic Huntington Beach Pier. The menu at HQ Gastro pub is fantastic, offering a great selection of classic pub fare with a modern twist. But what really stands out about this place is the quality of their ingredients and the skill of their chefs. The chicken wings we had for an appetizer were crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the sushi rolls we ordered - the shrimp tempura roll, the baked salmon roll, and the California roll - were absolutely amazing. We would order all three again in a heartbeat! And let's not forget about the drinks. HQ Gastro pub has an impressive selection of beers on tap, with something to suit every taste. Whether you're a beer connoisseur or just looking to try something new, you won't be disappointed by their selection. Last but not least, the staff at HQ Gastro pub is top-notch. They're friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. They really went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Overall, we had an amazing experience at HQ Gastro pub and can't wait to come back again. If you're looking for a great meal, great beer, and great atmosphere, look no further than HQ Gastro pub in Huntington Beach California. Five stars all around!

Bars and Booths - they have two bars right next to each other, our server told us the small bar is for cocktails and the big bar is for beer! We sat at a comfy booth next to a window looking out at the ocean. The service was very friendly and on point, the food was okay. The fried zucchini was crispy and golden brown but the zucchini was watery which was disappointing. The short Rib tacos had tender meat in a crispy shell but then they put a super spicy sauce on them which ruined the experience. The salmon was tasty but drowning in creamy risotto. I might go back if I was in the area but just for drinks and appetizers.

Awesome place nice speakeasy in the back love the fact that they take your phone. So you can focus on the drinks and fun atmosphere. Music was awesome from 80's to modern pop
