This Dana Point favorite offers elevated American fare and a selection of extremely rare whiskeys. If you’re a whiskey connoisseur, this should definitely be on your list! Food portions are generous and great for sharing; you’ll want to bring the whole gang for happy hour—or as Craft House calls it, social hour. Their happy hour might just be the best in town, and it happens every day of the week during select times. The Craft House Lite is $5, an Aperol Spritz is $7 and the Shoot + Brew, made with Four Roses bourbon, is just $8. Flavorful birria tacos are $8, and the spicy tuna crispy rice is $9. For only $6, you must try the chile verde fries, which are loaded with pork, crema, cotija, cilantro and lime. Pop in for the next big game, a family celebration or an after-work rendezvous with the crew.

When: Monday + Tuesday, all day (bar area), 4-6 p.m. (dining room and patio),
Wednesday + Thursday, 4-6 p.m. (entire restaurant), Friday, 3-5 p.m. (entire restaurant) and Saturday + Sunday, 2-4 p.m. (entire restaurant)
