“Absolutely do not recommend this place. The managers are horribly rude and the staff is rude and the food is not very good.!!$$“

“Iris, the owner and the main man in the kitchen are nothing short of awesome. Happy hour rules, food is great, and the best service. Love this place and I encourage everyone to come try at least twice.

By far the best place in MV for beers and a game. Kids will have fun too!“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“Mulligans has everything you want in a bar. 2 separate sections for pool tables, they make one pool table a pingpong table upon request, and have delicious food! Be prepared to wait a while if you're ordering on the weekend nights! They have a back patio and allow me to bring both my non service dogs in with me inside and out. The pub people are very friendly and like to mingle with every one else. Is great!“

“Fantastic place to watch football!“

“Located at inside OC Local Taproom. The servers are super nice and attentive.
I had the Pork Belly Sopes and it was delicious!
They have taco Tuesday’s at $3/taco, they have specials for football days too.(Thursdays and Mondays)
Can not wait to come back and eat here again.“

“Absolutely delicious and very welcoming. We can got given a free desert as well. We would highly recommend“

“Great people, environment drinks etc, highly recommend“

“I'm giving it a 5 for the staff. I briefly looked at it, thinking it was an independent rooftop bar, not realizing it was connected to the hotel.Our drinks were ok, prices were average. If you were staying at the hotel, this would be a great experience. If you were bar hoping or anything of that nature, I would go here if everything else was packed.Again, staff was incredibly nice and we stayed for them ?“

“Fantastic place to watch football!“

“only there for 2 beers. service at bar was great. Not sure why...but you use the Touch tunes and it is at a lower volume than the house music playing.“

“I don't drink but the food menu looked awesome and with the big screens around multiple games on it looked like I could have a good time with some buddies of mine however I showed up with my son to race one time b4 heading home from visiting my dad“

“A treasure trove of an establishment, the staff's commitment to excellence is evident and the bartenders are warm and welcoming. The cultural essence is a highlight, I hope they continue to host more Latin-inspired evenings, the energy is electric and the crowd is fantastic.“

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Stopped in for lunch at the bar inside Whole Foods Market in Irvine and had a much better experience than I ever expected. This isn’t just a typical grocery store café—this is a legit spot for a quality meal and cold draft beer.

We ordered two bacon cheeseburgers and were impressed across the board. The burgers were cooked just right, with thick slices of bacon, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and perfectly melted cheese stacked inside a soft, glossy bun. The presentation was great—each burger served on a metal tray lined with custom Whole Foods wrap paper, paired with a mini fryer basket of hot, crispy fries and a stainless ramekin of ketchup. The fries were golden and fresh, with just the right amount of salt and a great texture.

There’s something satisfying about sitting at a clean, well-lit bar with natural light pouring through the windows and a long row of taps behind the counter. The beer selection here is impressive, especially for being inside a market. A wide range of local and craft brews on draft gave us plenty of choices. The pours were cold, crisp, and served in proper pint glasses with just the right head.

The bartender was courteous, quick, and knowledgeable—not just about the beer but also about the menu. Service felt personal and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they care about maintaining quality here, and it showed in both the food and the way the staff treated us.

All around, this is a great place to sit down for a relaxing lunch or early dinner. Plenty of parking right outside, and you can grab groceries afterward if you need to. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want something casual but done right. Would absolutely return.“

“I enjoyed one of the best pizza’s I’ve had in years last night. I ordered the Touchdown which is Pepperoni and Sausage. Their dough is just the right amount and my pizza was delicious. I can’t wait to try this place again!“

“I came here earlier afternoonish for food, had the salmon, it was cooked an seasoned really well compared to similar kinds of locations. The bartender was a rockstar, he was waiting on everyone an the bar with drinks an food, there was a big group of guys an he was on top of refilling off an their drinks and checking closing out all the non drinkers in the restaurant area. No entertainment so I can’t speak on that. But would try it again if I’m traveling an visiting the area again .“

“During our recent 3-day weekend getaway, we stumbled upon Citra Bar & Kitchen at the newly renovated Hotel Zessa, and it quickly became our go-to spot for nearly all our meals. This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the modern yet cozy ambiance. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the drinks. The Citra Margarita was refreshingly perfect, and my wife couldn't get enough of the Hibiscus Cooler. We also indulged in the Casamigos Flight, which was a delightful treat. Following our server's recommendations turned out to be the best decision. We tried nearly everything on the lunch and dinner menus, but the Chicken Taquitos stood out as our favorite appetizer—we ordered them multiple times! As for the entrees, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but our top picks were the Chicken A La Brasa, Blackened Mahi Mahi, and Salmon Salad. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Being gluten-free, I was thrilled to find that Citra Bar & Kitchen had plenty of options that catered to my dietary needs without compromising on taste. Overall, our experience at Citra Bar & Kitchen was outstanding. The revitalization of Hotel Zessa and the exceptional dining experience here is a testament to Santa Ana's commitment to enhancing their community. We can't wait to return, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed!“

“Stopped in really quick for a bite and a couple drinks while waiting to pick up my Marine. Locals were all so friendly, bartender was quick, very sweet, nice pours and my tacos were great!“

“Un lugar muy lindo y muy bien atendiendo y con mucha diversión se los recomiendo“

“Very friendly and fun, service Is awesome, delicious food and good beer. Just a great time and great entertainment. Highly recommend“

“Good happy hour. Food and drinks are served quickly and with enthusiasm.
We had the Happy Hour Sliders with Cheddar Cheese and Tempura Green Beans.
The green beans came out with the drinks very quickly. They were hot and flavorful.
Dipping sauce is a little thin and lacking in flavor, but it's not needed as the food is good as-is.
The sliders were good too. The cheese is optional but adds a little depth to the item.
As is Happy Hour, the restaurant was busy and we were lucky to get a table in the bar so quickly.
There were several games on the screens which added to the atmosphere. The meal cost around $25 per person, which was affordable.
We'll be back and may even join the Rewards Program. Kayla (and Kaylee) took good care of us.“

“We popped into Goody’s for a couple beers this afternoon and had such a great time! The bartender, Heather, was fabulous!!! We were visiting for the day from San Diego and because of the hospitality, we felt like locals! We got to sit at the bar with our pup too so that was a major plus! Any time we are in San Clemente, we will definitely stop back in for a couple drinks! 10/10 recommend!“

“Everytime I come here the service food & Atmosphere is the best. I went there just before Christmas and got both of my daughters 2 $20.00 gift cards if you use them by February you can get an extra &10.00 each on top of the cards, Last week my daughter's went there and they said there were only $10.00 on each card. I don't know what happened but we can't complain since Everytime we go back my family is happy with the service and food.“

“Outstanding service. Friendly and accommodating“
