In a town where the trees sway with cool, winter breezes, and the community shops, chats and eats along historic sidewalks, the perfectly situated Haven Gastropub fits right in. Like its home in Old Towne Orange, Haven settles right into the fabric of old-world coziness with a modern flair, like it was supposed to be there all along. Inside, with its stone and vintage wood interior, Haven is just as inviting as its address. Locals agree, with regulars coming in three to four times a week. Chef and partner Greg Daniels’ hard work and passion for life are two things that ring true for one of the hardest working men in Orange County.
Chef Daniels’ steadfast belief in quality of product and service shows in his simple yet fresh interpretations of how pub food should be represented. Daniels and his team have helped the public gradually understand what the term of gastropub truly means. “It’s a casual space with good, freshly cooked food and a good selection of beer, wine, and spirits. A good place for anyone to hang. It’s not just a bar,” Daniels said. It’s a welcoming perspective that reflects his personality and life’s work.
