Helmsman Ale House

Wow great atmosphere, food and beers! It looks like they craft their own and the bartenders were nice and had good suggestions!

Garlic fries and wings were Excited to go back and try other parts of the menu!

My bf has a crazy obsession with wings. Because of that, we're always on the lookout for places with great wings.

Helmsman Ale House is our go-to place for wings on Wednesday. They have a crazy 89 cent per wing deal on Wednesdays. I feel like they're always adding new flavors but recently we got lemon pepper, spicy buffalo, and Szechuan honey garlic. They also have a mild buffalo, sweet chili, and bbq flavor. You need to order in increments of 5 so we opted for 10 lemon pepper, 5 spicy buffalo, and 5 Szechuan honey garlic. Their wings are large, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. They never disappoint!

They also have a great happy hour deal from 3-6pm I believe with $5 all Helmsman draft beers which is a pretty great deal.

Along with the wings and beer, we also got a Helmsmac which was so delicious and loaded. Needless to say, we had tons of leftovers.

Service is always great here. We like to sit outside with our dog but they always come out to check on us if we need anything.

If you want great wings, beer, and service, go to Helmsman Ale House!

Work parties are stressful to plan in general, but Bianca & Jerri really took care of me and made sure to secure all of the important details. They made it so easy for me! We rented out the outside patio area on a Friday night. Bianca made herself available anytime for questions, and gave me straightforward recommendations for food/drink/layout options. They also allowed me to rent additional heat lamps for my event.

There were two amazing servers walking around during my event, and they were absolute rockstars taking everyone's drink orders and remembering all of their faces again when coming back with their drinks. My owners were impressed about the reasonable cost of our guest count of about 50.

I have also visited Helmsman many other times - their Wing Wednesday deals are great and I love this restaurant's atmosphere. I hope to coordinate a future company event with the Helmsman staff again soon!

5 stars! Great ambiance service and food! We had the Helmsman Burger and fish and chips and neither disappointed! Amazing! Will definitely go back before heading back to Texas.

I *rarely* put a review on here, but GREAT food and brilliant ambiance like this.... Burger with brisket was awesome.

Helmsman is amazing every time we go! Their food is amazing and they have great selections of beer.

The staff is always super friendly and the location is huge so there's always room for a bigger group or just going out with one or two friends.

Great outside patio for dogs. We enjoyed a late drink and lunch after traveling from Phoenix.

A great place to grab drinks and hang out.

I came with a friend on a Friday afternoon and was surprised at how empty the restaurant was. I was under the impression I was going to have to look around for street parking but was pleasantly surprised to find there's a decent sized parking lot in the back for Helmsman patrons only.

I decided to grab a flight of four beers along with a pint of Japanese lager and a Turkey sandwich ($15). The beers were really refreshing and definitely hit the spot. The sandwich was decent, but nothing to rave about. The sandwich did come with a side of sweet potato fries which I thoroughly enjoyed. The fries were tossed in brown sugar and had the perfect bite of sweetness.

What I enjoyed most at Helmsman however was the service. Our waitress was really attentive and kind and definitely provided a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere.

Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.

Cool brewery bar in Newport Beach. The ambiance was super. Mostly young people came were super loud, but you can see they're enjoying after work or bday or.
Place us huge. Luckily we sat at the booth!
With two kids we ordered 5 dishes and two biers. Friendly service for sure.

This restaurant/bar is super nice! I love the fact they have their own parking lot. For this area, it's hard to find parking sometimes. This place is spacious inside as well has couple patio area. I never knew a bar could have so much going on. The have trivia nights, football specials, run club get togethers, and even painting classes. I came here mainly for the food. The menu is actually quite impressive for food. It's not your regular bar food. They're food above the bar. You can tell they actually care about their food by their food presentation. Just look at the HelmsMac. I think the Brewcuterie is a great option for a group of friends. Their short rib sandwhich was my favorite. The ribs was juicy and savory even after taking it home. Their s'mores brownie is also bomb. I appreciate a bar who also focus on the quality of their food. Service was good. They check on our table quite often. This definitely is a fun find.
