The Back Abbey

Lots of greats drinks and food! They have German and Belgian imported beers, my friends think it's worth the drive from LA to get them. The duck fat fries are really amazing, the dipping sauces are on another level, so good. Service was awesome. The servers were very kind and food/drinks came out very quick.

Fun little spot to visit outside of the core Claremont Village. As you'd expect, there is a great selection of Belgian beers, both on tap and in bottles. The food choices are pretty decent. We were pleased to find mussels. The sauce was delicious; it would have been great to have more bread to soak up the deliciousness. I'd add a star if they could provide better descriptions of the brews (the servers weren't too helpful and seemed overwhelmed) and carried some lower ABV choices. All said, we would go back to hang out in this back alley patio.

Really nice little spot in Claremont. As the name implies, it's in the back. I drove past it as it is tucked away a little. It's a little upscale pub. So everything is going to have a more fancy take. This includes the alcohol, dont expect to get Budweiser or Coors for you beer. Also dont expect your more brand name spirits here. That being said it is all very good. They have so have seasonal meals as well. So the menu will be a little different, which is a nice change of pace. They do have a lot of standard menu items they have year round. We split a BBQ Chicken sandwich with a salad. The sause had a little bite and the chicken was very juicy. They only had 2 desserts; beignets and the seasonal Cheese cake. We hot the beignets and they we very good. They come with some fresh fruit on the sides. Overall it was a really nice place and we will go back.

One of my favorites! Been here many times the past few years. This review is overdue. I am Never disappointed when I come. Although, it can get packed here, it's worth the wait. Excellent place to grab delicious entrees, snacks, brew and spirits. Food here is so delicious, and the selection of drinks is amazing. My favorites are the brats, schnitzels, beignets, and the martini espresso! Their seasonal menus are great too. My S/O loved the hot totty, and the burgers.
