Cool college bar I set out for because they had Pliny the elder on tap. Im from jersey so thats pretty hard to come by in bottles let alone tap. It was super fresh and they had a decent selection of beers. The carne asada tater tots were so good and the chicken quesadilla was really good as well. The beer is what brought me there but the food may have me going back. They also have a breathalyzer on the wall you can pay to check your blood alcohol levels.

Its cool to have a pub on campus, but I wish it were more of bar and I wish that they would enter the 21st century and start accepting credit cards. Pros: On campus, decent atmosphere, they do cool stuff like trivia or stand up comedy sometimes. Cons: Cash only, no liquor, not super close to parking, hours are kinda wierd.

The Anthill only serves beer, wine, and food, so dont come looking for a cocktail. That said, the prices are quite affordable. If you order a pitcher of beer, the pitcher is 48 oz (3 pints) rather than 64 oz 4 pints), like most bars have. Their bar snacks are good, and the beer is cheap, so this place is a winner in my book.

Great selection of beer for a fair price, chill bartenders, and they have good music playing in the background. Food is good but the portions are too small for the price, but I really just go there for the good beer. $9 for a 3 pint pitcher during happy hour is nice. Oh and the bathroom is above average.

Am in the thick of a dissertation at the moment, so it is hard to appreciate anything in life–except the Anthill Pub. What a beacon it is in the midst of my studies! Theres little that Ill look back upon with such fondness as I have for this place. Thank you Anthill Pub!

Good beer selection. Update: Spent almost every Friday evening here for the past 4 years. Great beer, great staff. Unfortunately all good things come to an end. The University has decided to not renew the contract, so July 26, 2017 will be the last day. So long old friend!

As much as I appreciate a bar inside of campus, I still miss our old pub. Its something about balcony and having that access to outside while drinking.. it makes all the differences. Friendly bar tenders and staff. Food is decent. Cheap beer. Cant really go wrong with that.

Never had a bad experience here. The bartenders are friendly and the beer is always good. Lots of seating and bar seating as well. Whats good is their food is bomb too. I hear you can order on your phone now. I have yet to try it but thats awesome! Go Eaters. UCI (:

Great happy hour deals on margaritas ($5) as well as food. I was also very pleased to see that they offered vegetarian options - they had Soyrizo. You could get pretty much anything on the menu with it including the happy hour tacos. Friendly service. Good vibes.

Not the best place to come and watch sports but an amazing rotating beer selection including barrel aged stouts and sours. I come just for Pliny the Elder which is difficult to find in SoCal. Cash only for food and drinks but there are ATMs across the way

The pub at UCI! Came here for the first time with friends on trivia night (Tuesdays) and had a lot of fun! The prices arent bad, and the staff is quick. Wish they had more drinks than just beer though!

2 for 1 specials always start the night off right. Thanks to Noemi our drinks remained full and our party had a blast. I think this will be our go to Anthill Pub & Grille from now on. Cheers!!

All day happy hour on Sunday was great. All the food was delicious. The space has great lighting. The staff was very nice. All and all a very pleasant experience. Will return soon.

The food is actually quiet amazing, and not something you would typically expect from a pub. I would recommend the stoner tots if you are going to grab a beer, its the perfect snack.

I really, really like having a pub on the UCI campus. The food quality could be a bit better for the price, and I still dont understand how its 2016 and they dont take credit cards.

I love this place. Beers are a good price. But more importantly the patrons are awesome UC fellow anteaters. They are very intellectual and up for a good conversation.

ill always remember seeing the most beautiful woman ive ever seen in that place. Good, relaxed atmosphere and not that heavily trafficked for a college bar.

Curly fries with ranch = out of this world. Biggest problem is cash only. Kind of sad to see this in one of the finest engineering schools in the country

Food is sub par but there is a decent beer selection at reasonable prices. Definitely a good place to grab a drink with friends at the end of the day.

Fantastic beer / ale selection. Fabulous staff. Wonderful vibe. But the first rule of anthill pub is... nobody talks about the stoner fries.

They dont take debit or credit cards so take cash. Good craft brew selection, unique food menu. Must try Zot balls after a few beers.

THEY ONLY TAKE CASH. BUT THEIR RASPBERRY CIDER IS AMAZING. A nice watering hole/dive bar vibe and mostly UCI students go here.

I dont drink, but the food is good and trivia every Tuesday night is tons of fun. 8-10pm, $2/person, max 8 people per team

In an area where there are no pubs this is a decent place, overcrowded and ok service but with a good beer selection.

The atmosphere is incredible, the lighting is good, the beer selection is large enough, and the food is delicious!
