Downtown Wins Acclaim!


Brea Downtown News

There are some wonderful new experiences for those who haven't visited Brea Downtown in a while. There is Bar 330 located at 330 West Birch Street. They have pool tables to rent by the hour, good food to enjoy from lunch and into the late night. Their menu is quite eclectic from Chinese to Mexican to good old-fashioned hamburgers. Large TVs are in place to enjoy sporting events and a full bar to enjoy any libations you may want. Hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. They have a very friendly staff and they would love to have you stop by so they can get to know you. Call (714) 256-9986 if you want to know more or reserve your pool table early. They do rent out quickly on the weekends.

Another newcomer to Brea Downtown is the Improv. The Improv was a fixture in Brea for many years and then lost their lease and moved out to Ontario. But the good news is the IMPROV is back - and in a great new location on at 120 S. Brea Blvd. Look for their attractive Marquee and their headliners. We recommend that you order your tickets early if you have a favorite performer, as shows sell out very quickly. There is valet parking available and appetizers and drinks with most shows and they also have a dinner show. This is where so many of today's top headliner comedians got their start - at the Improv. Call the box office to order your tickets. (714) 482-0700.
