26 Best Dive Bars near Costa Mesa

“I was staying in Costa Mesa for a couple of weeks on business and had the pleasure of visiting Patrick’s Pub. Drew, Andy and all of the bartenders, not only made sure that I got treated like family and a local, they went out of their way to make me feel right at home. If you visit Costa Mesa and don’t stop here for a drink, I promise that you are missing out. I would give this place a 1000% positive rating if I could but will have to settle for the highest 100% on here. Thank you so much Patrick’s Pub staff, you have made every experience I have had there, absolutely amazing.“

“Great local dive bar with live music on the weekends. They pour a stiff cocktail, and the prices are fair. They don't serve food. However, there is a Mexican restaurant next door that offers takeout, or there will sometimes be a food truck that will pop by. My only minor gripe is that it is an Irish bar in name only. They have some Irish decor around the bar, but they don't have Guinness on tap, which is really a shame. It's a decent spot to watch a game, but they could use a few more TVs.“

“A Quinton Tarantino dive bar minus the foul smell, filled with retired Marines, contractors, cooks, bus boys, bikers, lawyers, real estate nerds, and college drop out made well types. True dive 101 super clean great music Elvise, Billy Idol, James Brown, Motorhead, Beastie Boys and fidlar, small atmosphere propper drinks, awesome bartenders and a buffalo. Ask about their world famous chili. Please forgive my grammar.“
