OC’s First Brewery With A Swanky Pool

Orange County craft beer enthusiasts can celebrate that Modern Times, the San Diego famed brewery, plunges into the heart of Anaheim with the opening of Leisuretown. Modern Times, CFO, Chris Sarette, proudly describes the latest 33,000-square-foot Modern Times luxury island paradise, "After four years of construction and restoration, we're thrilled to open Leisuretown to the public.

Leisuretown is Modern Times' eighth and certainly most unique retail project -- home to a full-scale production brewery, kitchen, breathtaking beer garden, to-go mini-mart, Craftsman event space, and a swanky swimming pool. For now, due to distancing requirements, small numbers are welcome to enjoy the backyard resort.

Explore the Mid-Century Modern vibes while lounging poolside, with a bird’s eye view on the upper deck of a shaded patio, or among the sunflower yellow umbrellas in the beer garden. Visitors to Leisuretown can choose from over 70 Modern Times beers and ciders, house-roasted coffees, and even a carefully curated assortment of wines.  

The brewery’s chef is cooking up mouth-watering, plant-based menu items, such as the Cowboy Burger, which may require jaw unhinging to take in all the crispy, savory, juicy layers of goodness in a single bite. With a Cowboy in one hand a deliciously refreshing LICE (lime & salt lager) in the other.

The tropically colored wonderland is an adaptive reuse of a historic warehouse, as well as a 1911 Craftsman house.

Before heading to Leisuretown, guests are encouraged to check the website for reservations, safety guidelines, hours, parking, menus and updates on the official opening of the pool.

Modern Times’ Leisuretown is located at 549 South Anaheim Boulevard in Anaheim, within walking distance from Orange County’s Original Anaheim Packing House.
