Pub 32

Jenny took care of my friend and I and we were between a couple different wines and she steered us in the right direction. She was attentive and made sure that our stay was exactly the way it should’ve been quick efficient and enjoyable. Go here for great service!

I wasn't fan of the food but it is not bad at all, great portions and atmosphere

Pretty good place. We went with a somewhat big party of 10 and our specific server seemed to be in a bit of a mood when it came to taking drink and food orders and wasn't particularly attentive or interested in our questions about the food, but the food was decent and one of the other guys working there was super nice when helping clean up. Maybe they cater more to regulars as the bar seemed lively. Food was pretty good and drinks were strong though!

Pub Thirty Two is very close to my house and a great bar to stop in for a drink after work or on the weekends. They have a full bar, whiskey tasting, and multiple beers on draft or tap. From all the times I have been it's a hybrid of younger adults as well as older couples and families that attend so good for many occasions. My favorite go to food option is the short rib & mash with a couple prankster beers on tap. One recommendation I have is to ask about an item before you order if if you are unsure about it. I ordered "Portobello Fries" thinking they were fries and got fried mushrooms and was "SOL" according to my waiter. That was my only bad experience in a handful of good experiences. I went in again recently for lunch and dinner. Lobster Bisque with a grilled cheese hits different on a rainy day for lunch, and their short rib n mash is great for dinner. Pics attached.

Met up with a group of friends and this restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. They don't have music blasting and the TVs have no sound so you can talk to each other without having to yell. The food is good and they have a variety of dishes to choose from and it all seemed very fresh too. You can sit inside or outside on the patio and they accommodate large groups but gratuity is added automatically for large parties. They have booth, bar and patio seating as well as high round tables and chairs with backs. Might want to bring a sweater if you get cold easy bc they do have AC. There's a variety of beers to choose from which ppl from my group liked and had a special brunch menu on Sundays. I had the crepes and I really liked them. They weren't too sweet like I thought they might be. The sweet cream in them is very mild on the sweetness. I actually could have used a tad more sweetness. Maybe extra syrup next time? My boyfriend had the Fish and Chips and I've seen them done this way. It was one large piece of fish battered with a mustard in-between the fish and batter. He enjoyed it. Everyone liked what they got, no one sent anything back. Everyone's order came out correctly in a timely manner. We definitely eat there again. Dishes pictured... Fresh berry crepes Fish and chips Tuna patty melt Ceasar salad with chicken Breakfast burger Bread pudding (birthday dessert)

This is such a great spot and it offers every dining experience you could want with seating options on the patio, bar, high tops, or a more formal area for dinner. Under new ownership they have really stepped up their service standards! Very friendly and engaging staff. Great beer selection and great menu overall! We were very disappointed to find out that the lobster roll had been removed, which was our go to lunch and probably the best lobster roll in OC. Hope they add this back on soon! We know we aren’t the only regulars who will be missing this meal.

I really wanted to like Pub 32 after hearing so many great things, but it just didn’t live up to the hype. The service was good, but the food was mediocre at best and the atmosphere was completely lacking. We tried the popular $5 patio deal, but the experience was far from enjoyable — the sun was in our eyes and the umbrellas wouldn’t adjust, making it uncomfortable to even sit there. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to finish my meal and leave. The other party mentioned that the French fries tasted like the frozen kind, just dumped in a deep fryer to heat up. And the coffee martini? Definitely not worth the price — it was the most expensive one I’ve ever had and had very little alcohol. Overall, not worth a second try. I’m honestly surprised by all the 4- and 5-star reviews because our experience was just average — nothing special at all.

It’s quite a nice place, good food and a great bar selection. We plan to return. I’d prefer larger servings and the prices are on the high side, but we still plan to return Our second visit was not very good. One guest noted that the rib with mashed potato was way more mash and too little rib. Both guests noted that their margarita was a six ounce glass with four ounces of ice and two ounces of product --- we joked that would have created a bar fight in Ireland : ) The service was poor. We had coffee drinks and they were just warm .... servers had left them sitting in the bar and they lost their heat and that is unforgiveable. Yet they expect gratuities? Overall, I'd give this a 3 out of ten.

Very rude bartender with absolutely no class. We were never welcomed when we sat at the bar, were not offered menus, and were completely ignored. I ordered an Old Fashioned and received what was essentially one shot of whiskey over ice — overpriced, two sips, and gone. We will never return. This place is a joke of a bar, and it’s sad to see Mission Viejo still has no nightlife to speak of.

We went to Pub 32 on Sunday evening. Walked in and asked if they were still serving food as it was nearly 7:30. The hostess said yes. It took awhile for anyone to check in with us. We placed our order with drinks and water. While waiting for our food, the bartender came out of the kitchen with a paper towel abounds finger. He appeared to have cut himself. He put the bloody paper towel (napkin?) down on bar counter (where the were about 7-8 people at the bar focused on the game. He put in a plastic glove and I thought that it was smart of him. He then proceed to rip the glove off finger by finger u til just the finger that was bleeding had a gloved finger over it. There was no glove really left. He picked up the glove trash and napkin and threw away without wiping down the counter afterwards. It was appalling to me that he did this in front of customers because what is he doing behind in the kitchen?? We received our food. While we were finishing up, a ma walks in through the front door and comes straight to us (we were at a bar height able, in the bar area.) This man didn’t speak English and was trying to get us to give him a ride to his house, is what we were understanding. No one stopped him, the hostess was staring but didn’t interfere. I finally flagged the waitress who realized that we were being bugged by this guy and told him to come speak with someone who spoke Spanish. Meanwhile, the bartender didn’t acknowledge the guy. It was a very strange encounter. I was grossed out by the bleeding and glove situation and double left had I not been with a friend. I’m not sure what happened to the service as it used to be too-notch.
