Erie Hotel & Family Restaurant

this place is pretty awesome. yay!

the bar is gorgeous (carved wood owls and cats! and mirrors!) and the selection is well above average. craft beers and craft liquors anyone?!?!?! there is also a giant moose head on the wall. in case you are into things like that. then, outside, the tiki bar awaits to fulfill your frozen/tropical drink dreams. thatched roof and all.

they have live music and djs on the weekends, and i hear that their food menu is pretty fancy. any place that has swordfish on the menu must be fancy, right? I've only eaten their standard bar snacks that come in a fried form, and those were delicious (as is most fried food). their tables look cozy; i'm sure i'll be bringing my man back here for a proper meal sometime soon.

First time here... and OMG! From the moment you walk in it's amazing. The decor and the friendly staff. We had an assortment of breads before our meal... the pumpkin bread or whatever it was, was phenomenal. The main course was just as great. I loved their beer selection too. We will be back!

***This review is specific for the bar area***

The Erie has a gorgeous bar, full of intricate woodworking, and fantastic craftsmanship.  If you appreciate things like that... take a good look.

The options for beer  connoisseurs should bring smiles!  In an area of Orange County where B-M-C are expected, it is rather refreshing to see an alternative.  

On the front bar tower you will see about 10 different taps (or so... this is an estimate), but on the interior tower you will find another 6 or 7).  The thing that makes this place unique is the options.  If you are into Bud, Miller, Coors, it is there.  If you are not a fan, you can find many craft breweries available.  The interior tower seems to be their  "elite" craft brews, and cycle rather often.  Tis means a few weeks later, when you pop in you may encounter a new craft beer that wasn't there last time.  Tha there is a reason to continually ome back to this place!  Smart business practice!

Give it a try... oh.. yeah... they also run a restaurant!
