Mission
Perched over the front and center of the Anaheim Packing House Food Hall, Hammer Bar is Anaheim’s original blue-collar craft cocktail bar. Built into the historic Packing House during its landmark 2013 reconstruction, the farmhouse-themed workshop & bar welcomes neighborhood locals and world travelers alike.
We treat mixology like a true trade, pairing an inventive cocktail menu and craft beer list with a completely from-scratch build on every ingredient. Step into a workbench or tractor stool and experience the heartbeat of culture that is the Anaheim Packing House.
THE PACKING HOUSE
1919
Built along a citrus-rail offshoot, the Anaheim Packing House was raised as a shipping center for Orange County’s booming Valencia orange crop — an industry that employed nearly a third of the county.
1948
At its peak the county held some 67,000 acres of orange groves. As the orchards gave way to suburbia, the rails quieted and the great packing house slipped into a long sleep.
2015
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and reborn as a food hall — a warehouse-chic crossroads of two dozen kitchens, live music, and the spirit of the old line.
NOW
