High Quality Is the Standard
HQ Gastropub was built on one idea: High Quality (HQ) in everything - the food, the drinks, the atmosphere. Founder Mark Matters set out to reinvent the neighborhood restaurant bar, and he's not done yet
HQ Gastropub | Our Story
One Vision, Zero Compromises
Mark Matters founded HQ Gastropub on a bold bet — that a neighborhood restaurant bar could hold itself to a higher standard without losing its soul. The name isn't a tagline; it's a promise built into every location.
Bar Food Had It Coming
Chicken pot pie to fresh sushi, hand crafted burgers to cult-status deviled eggs and much more - with unexpected flavors. The HQ kitchen draws from global flavors and treats every plate like it matters. This is what happens when a gastropub refuses to settle for ordinary.
The Cocktail Program Keeps Up
From the tropical 'Lime in the Coconut' served steps from the Huntington Beach Pier to craft cocktails inside the hidden Graceland Speakeasy — the bar program earns its place alongside the food.
Two Locations, Two Personalities
Huntington Beach brings Surf City energy — hydraulic open windows, ocean view, a buzz that never quiets.
Woodland Hills answers with music-forward polish: vinyl album menus, guitar displays, and a lofty interior unlike any other unlike any other.
Growing, Evolving, Thriving
HQ is a brand in motion — expanding its footprint while sharpening what makes it work. New locations are coming, and the standard is traveling with them.
