Inside Whole Foods- great happy hour and super fresh inexpensive food.
Very friendly bar tender. Knowledgeable on the beers they carried. Bar was busy but the bartenders were very efficient as we had no wait. They also offer happy hour and weekday specials to get better deals on food and drinks.
I love this bar on the weekends. Its a great place to stop for a glass of wine or a beer and chat. You can go grab anything you want from the Whole Foods, which is really nice. The bartenders are always great! They are efficient and are very helpful if you are unable to pick a wine or beer from their offerings, which are quite diverse.
Wholefoods In-house restaurant/bar is an amazing place to eat for lunch or dinner! Great menu selection or go get food from the already prepared food bar! Great place to go meet friends and hangout! I don’t drink myself but they have a great selection of beers and wine! Space is limited so there may be times it will be hard to find a place to sit to enjoy the amazing food here! Enjoy!
Stopped in for lunch at the bar inside Whole Foods Market in Irvine and had a much better experience than I ever expected. This isn’t just a typical grocery store café—this is a legit spot for a quality meal and cold draft beer. We ordered two bacon cheeseburgers and were impressed across the board. The burgers were cooked just right, with thick slices of bacon, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and perfectly melted cheese stacked inside a soft, glossy bun. The presentation was great—each burger served on a metal tray lined with custom Whole Foods wrap paper, paired with a mini fryer basket of hot, crispy fries and a stainless ramekin of ketchup. The fries were golden and fresh, with just the right amount of salt and a great texture. There’s something satisfying about sitting at a clean, well-lit bar with natural light pouring through the windows and a long row of taps behind the counter. The beer selection here is impressive, especially for being inside a market. A wide range of local and craft brews on draft gave us plenty of choices. The pours were cold, crisp, and served in proper pint glasses with just the right head. The bartender was courteous, quick, and knowledgeable—not just about the beer but also about the menu. Service felt personal and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they care about maintaining quality here, and it showed in both the food and the way the staff treated us. All around, this is a great place to sit down for a relaxing lunch or early dinner. Plenty of parking right outside, and you can grab groceries afterward if you need to. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want something casual but done right. Would absolutely return.
