Rodeo 39 Public Market is a food hall with several restaurants, a coffee shop (Coffee Dose), a few ice cream & tea places, a brewery (Bearded Tang Brewery, check out their small happy hour menu, which is available Monday- Friday form 3- 6 pm), a tattoo shop, a barber shop, a nail salon, an arcade, a flower shop and also a few other small stores selling clothes and other items.
Ever since I moved back to the San Gabriel Valley (many years ago), I really haven't kept up with places to go in Orange County. But Rodeo 39 Public Market is a very cool building with original artwork and murals from five different Southern California artists. There is also a stage in the back (in front of Bearded Tang Brewery, which is also Stanton's first brewery too) for live performances (check out their events online).
My husband and I decided to check out the brewery since we had some time to kill between my cousin's wedding ceremony and reception (the reception was actually down the street, at Crystal Restaurant & Banquet). We stopped by on a Friday afternoon, around 4 pm. We were lucky to find a parking spot, just as someone was pulling out. But when we left around 6 pm, there were several cars circling the parking lot and following us to our car to try to get our parking spot.
I like that this food hall has a good mix and variety of eateries, dessert places and drink places that you can choose from. I also love the colors of the walls, the murals, etc. It definitely is a hipster place but I do like the open space. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed to come inside but can sit on the outside (which is nice that it is covered seating).
The restrooms are interesting in which the sink area is communal. Men and women have their own separate area for the toilets. But the sinks are in a common area.
Music was playing while we visited but it wasn't too loud, which was nice. I like that there are plenty of tables throughout so that you can find a place to sit and enjoy whatever food item(s) that you have purchased, unlike other food halls that I have visited.
I would love to come back to Rodeo 39 Public Market if I am in the area again.
