I usually don't expect much from these chain style microbrewpubs (i.e. B.J.'s Rock Bottom, J.T. Schmid's...) but Steelhead's beers failed to live up to my lowered expectations. I haven't had their food so I can't comment on it. I homebrew and drink craft beer and know my beers. I had time to waste during an intermission at a concert at UCI so my wife and I went to Steelhead for a beer. We got samplers and none of them were good. We couldn't even finish two of the beers because they were just gross. If you enjoy Natural Light, or Keystone Ice, you might think their beers are good. I would give 1 star, but I feel that might be unfair as I haven't had the food there. If you're a beer connoisseur, STAY AWAY!
Pros: Location to UCI
Cons: BEER
