Experience
JT Schmid’s Restaurant and Brewery is a large restaurant brewery in Anaheim. Fun place to catch a game, eat and drink a beer. They usually have six standard beers they brew as well as a full bar. The beers we tried were OK, none really jumped out at me. They do have a full menu and the appetizers and meals we tried was good. The night we were there, they did have a live band on the patio that were entertaining.
There is walkable lodging at Ayres Hotel Anaheim. It is also a short Uber from the convention center hotels.
When in the area check out Noble Ale Works, Bottle Logic Brewing and The Bruery.
