Cocktail Bars near Brea

“First visit since turnover. Great experience! Love the extensive menu. We went for a late lunch. No problem getting a booth. The decor is very nice. I am in a brain fog at the moment but regarding our server's name.. He is Irish and was an absolute delight! He knew everything on the menu and offered his opinions when asked. I have added his picture. Overall we enjoyed our time there and will definitely return for weekend brunch and/or dinner real soon.“

“My friends and I came here for dinner on a Saturday. Although it was busy, we still received great service. Our food and drinks were served at an appropriate time. The servers were very accommodating to different diets (someone in our group was vegan and someone else was pescatarian). There were various options for all! We also enjoyed a couple of rounds of drinks. They were all delicious! The restaurant has round tables that make you feel like you are eating at home. They also have outdoor seating. The restaurant is dimly lit, creating an intimate and relaxing ambiance.“

“I just wanted to give The Cellar a shout out for supporting the fundraiser for Golden Hill Elementary school in Fullerton with 2 generous giftcards. Not only is this restaurant and craft cocktails AMAZING but the owners support their community!If you have never been, please go and splurge on this incredible dining experience... it is worth it! Neat history that I just learned... the same architect that designed Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland also designed The Cellar.THANK YOU for being a landmark here is Fullerton and supporting your community!!!!“

“It was my first time visiting this restaurant and overall, it was great. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and we were promptly seated with no reservation. The ambiance was perfect. I took my child and didn't see a kids' menu, but the host mentioned they served kids' plates with portions that were perfect for my toddler. The food and drinks were delicious. Food portions are large and ideal with the price range. The staff was friendly, and the restrooms were clean. Although we didn't order cocktails, we sat across from the bar and noticed the bartenders making impressive drinks; they seem like skilled mixologists.“

“Jonny was our server the first time my friend & i came here and did not disappoint. We've been coming here for margarita Mondays and we always have a great time! Jonny always exceeds our expectations. The one thing I have a complaint about is the music. it's what's the same thing over and over again. we've tried to make suggestions but it's always the same music.. other than that Kalaveras is great.“

“Awesome speakeasy in the Anaheim Packing District! I knew it would be hard to get a reservation here so I started looking a couple of months before my birthday. Unfortunately, they only release reservations a few weeks at a time & as soon as my desired date was available, it was already fully booked. Since we were staying in the area, we decided to see if they would take walk ins. Unfortunately, the hostess said that they were fully booked for the night. I was super bummed & was ready to walk away but decided to ask if I could put my name down in case there was a cancellation. Fortunately, she said if we came back in an hour, she could take us in before the next resy came in. Score! We had dinner at their neighboring restaurant & waited until we got a text. The space is super neat! It is dimly lit, they had a piano player in the corner, & cozy. We went in February so their drink menu was love themed. I recommend getting something from their seasonal menu & their regular menu so you can taste the best of both worlds. They make their cocktails delicious & strong. The bartenders are friendly & gave awesome recs. They also serve apps here.“

“Found this place @acesbaroc in Orange. Small bar but has lots of TVs and good surround sound. Ordered asada fries that were great, also tried the quesobirria pretty good. Their drinks are great also had a paloma with blueberry and a pepino margarita . Overall cool spot to watch the games and get a bite to eat. #orange #foodie #aces #asada #fries #queso #birria #drinks #oc #review #paloma“

“Grrat food and drink. Nice beer selection. Servers were very friendly. I will say that, in the few times I've been, the servers do not seem to check back that often. It's probably because you pay at the table but I've wanted to order more and when nobody checked back, I just gave up and payed.“

“I've been trying to come to this place for the past couple years but they've always been closed since they're not open Sunday-Wednesday which is usually when we drive down to Disneyland from the Bay Area. We were finally able to come down on a Saturday and reserve a spot way in advance. Food was good but we came to drink the drinks. The ambiance was amazing they and a DJ and views of the parks with fireworks.“

“This place is a gem! Outstanding Italian food and excellent service. The mussels with white sauce were incredibly flavorful and unique. I also had the Fettucini Florentine which was fresh, perfectly balanced and simply delicious. I want to try everything on the menu. Cocktails were also well-balanced and refreshing.“

“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“

“Second time visiting this restaurant and once again it did not dissapoint. Ropa vieja with maduros and congri was delicious. Tried their flan for first time. Was delicious! Im not a fan of flan. The texture is either rubbery, mushy or too sweet buy the flan here was the Best flan I've ever tasted. Firm, but smooth texture with delicious topping. Definitely making this restaurant one of my favorites.“

“One of my favorite karaoke joints! GREAT sound system. The owners are very kind and greet you upon arrival. Nice yard area to get away from the noise or have a smoke break. Love the lighting in this place. Always decorated festively. Attracts a nice crowd, I don’t come across many (if any) bro-ey frat boy people.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“We totally recommend this restuarant! Everything about it we would give 5 stars...friendly, atmosphere, food, service and the extra touch they give to make you feel appreciate you chose them. They have serial locations so we are happy we can try one closer to home in Santa Clara“

“Visited Blvd Cocktails for the first time last night. My wife and I had a great time. The music was just right. The atmosphere was friendly and chill. They have weekly raffles. We bought $10 worth of tickets and won $50 at their 11:30 raffle drawing. Our bartender Alisa was awesome. She was welcoming, friendly, and made some great suggestions for our drinks. Alisa's friendly service is definitely a reason we will return for more drinks and to sample the menu.“

“Food was great the only thing was that we saw breakfast items on the website menu and we were excited to have breakfast there but when we got there it was breakfast buffet and a dinner/lunch menu. Normally we wouldn't mind but we were craving very specific items and getting paying for a $40 per person buffet and a $20 buffet for our two year old who eats small portions just didn't make sense for us. Seems like the brunch might benefit folks with older kids or those looking to have cocktails with their meals, which wasn't for us. Fun place for a brunch date, breakfast brunch or girls brunch though!“

“Gotta love this spot mikayla, patrick get to know you & they know what you drink and they are always happy n quick with there service always friendly. If you catch Bobby may on a friday night . He knows how to spin those records. Definitely recommend this place“

“I drank, played pool, and played music. This establishment is very Veteran friendly. They treat Veterans VERY good and honored! I really enjoy hanging out with other Vets. Thank you, "Blue Door" and everyone! Signed: Lt. Robert Carr, Vietnam Veteran.Wheelchair accessibility: I sometimes have to use my walker (similar to a wheelchair) and this establishment has plenty of room to move around. Thank you.“

“Love this low key, high end bar. Best of both worlds. Dark and warm atmosphere. Phenomenal happy hour and cocktails. We came for after dinner cocktails and ordered an espresso martini and a "Coffee and Cigarettes" and they were perfect! FYI It's not closed. Try the door!“

“My name is Juan I was visiting California from winter garden Florida, I order food for delivery to my Quinta hotels near by and I highly recommend this RestaurantCustomer service was excellent, food was delivered fast and good quality please visit this restaurant 5 star all the way“

“BARCODE WAS INSANSEE (IN A GOOD WAY) the owner is always on standby making sure the service is 10/10. He is AMAZING!!!!! I live the next street over and and he was SUPER accommodating and welcoming. He recommended me and my friends a good drinks and got us complimentary shots!! The shot was amazing but even without the shot it SHOULD NOT allow you from coming here. SOOO CHEAP SOOOO GOOD! I love it, AND YOU SHOULD TOOO!!!!“

“KJ!!!! You were INCREDIBLE!!! This was our first experience and we wanted to do something special for our anniversary and I'm so glad that we chose to come here! The atmosphere was energetic! The view?? I mean wow!! The food was fantastic! But overall, our waiter KJ went above and beyond to make us feel valued and special! We would come back, just to have him as our waiter! Thank you so much KJ for everything that you did! We really appreciate you and we both had such a wonderful time! Rise Rooftop, we will DEFINITELY be back!“

“We did lunch. Great food and service. Some of the dishes are spicy so make sure to pay attention…especially if you’re a gringo lol. You will pay a premium since it’s so close to the park but you will at McDonald’s or any other restaurant as well.“

“Needed an after work spot to grab a drink and this spot was a good pick. Settled under the stairs on the bottom floor of the Anaheim Packing House, this train car bar has a great menu of classic cocktails and house drink specials. It's got a cool, vintage feel to it and the bartenders put a lot of care into each order. There are tables/seating inside, and a few tiny benches in front next to the entrance to sip your drinks at. It was actually quite hard for the group of us to decide what we wanted. Everything looked great. We settled on a Penicillin; a Paper Plane; and a Lost Luggage. Everything was tasty and came out fast enough, considering you're getting hand-crafted cocktails. They've got wine and beer options, as well as a spirits list Free parking if you can find it in the APH lot. If not, street parking or valet for $8.“

“Exceptional Bartender, Unforgettable DrinksI recently had the pleasure of being served by Nate at Rodeo Bar. From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for a treat. Nate's expertise in mixology is truly impressive, and it's evident that he's passionate about his craft.The drinks he concocted were nothing short of amazing. Each one was a delightful work of art, perfectly balanced in both flavor and presentation. Nate's recommendations were spot-on, and he had a knack for understanding my taste preferences.Beyond the outstanding drinks, Nate also created a memorable experience. He was engaging, friendly, and attentive, making the evening all the more enjoyable. It's not often that you come across a bartender who not only knows how to make great drinks but also knows how to connect with customers.I highly recommend visiting Rodeo 39 and asking for Nate if you're looking for a top-notch bartender who can craft remarkable cocktails and provide an overall fantastic experience. I can't wait to return for another round of his incredible creations!“

“This bar reminds me of Cheers the sitcom. I go after work once a week but sometimes not every week. The bar tenders are super friendly and once you get to know them, their like a next door neighbor that you like. They will continue to get my business. They have all day happy hour specials on the board.Parking: Depending on what day and what time of day, parking will be difficult. Weekdays are plenty of parking.“

“Went for breakfast here yesterday. First of all it's so cute inside. We love the decor. Our server was Julia and she was top-notch! Not only was she so sweet but she always came by making sure everything was okay. Food wise we got the Bella Bella Benny. A different take on an eggs benedict. It came with a side of hash browns. My daughter and I split the Benny so we ended up getting an extra side of hash browns which I'm glad we did, because they are so good! The Bella Bella Benny was also really good. We also got a side of the bacon, which is basically a delicious kind of candied bacon with a little spice to it. This was so delicious we probably could have eaten about six slices each! But the order only came with three, lol. For drinks we got the honey oat latte (cold) and a vanilla almond latte ( cold) these were both really good. Had a great experience here. Took some pictures but for some reason it's not letting me have an option of putting photos here on the review.“

“Stopped at Lucky John's based on the reviews and we were blown away with how good the food was. The cheeseburgers, tacos, and pulled pork sliders were all worth coming back for. Megan the bartender/waitress was fantastic. Cool vibe, great food, will definitely return!“

“Awesome ambiance and great hospitality, stopped by with a few coworkers for some drinks and was very happy I did . Food and drinks are amazing . This place exceeded my expectations and every staff member is so kind , really recommend coming here you won't be disappointed!“

“I'm so mad...... at HOW GOOD THE FOOD IS !!!! every single food item I have tried is VERY flavorful and Delectable ! Delicious. You thought your mommas home made beans were good? Wait till you go here. OH! And please try the GREEN SALSA chicken enchiladas !! And REQUEST the avocado green salsa dip on the side !!! Thanks guys, see y'all next time!!“

“Great local spot to have a few beers and play a few games of pool. The staff deserves more than an a rating if there was such when they're friendly they're trained their professional they make a great team. Been going there for over 20 years and even on the busiest of nights they still show that same commitment to the customer to make sure that they enjoy their evening .Carry on sportsman you are the best“

“Great steak, awesome atmosphere that reminds me of the Titans of SoCal experience restaurants that have all but disappeared or otherwise succumb to yet another national cookie cutter boring national brand. I hope the restaurant is able to stay around for a long, long time“

“We were staying at this hotel with a group of 10 kids and adults. We originally had dinner reservations at Disney Adventure Park but the place was crushed and they told us our reservations would be delayed by up to an hour ..... so we decided to have dinner at Manchester back at the hotel and were VERY glad we did.This place is a hidden gem!The hostess/bartender (Ellen) was fantastic. Super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and she did an amazing job churning out a huge selection of drinks, even making some off-menu mocktails for the kids. Its worth it to visit this place just for her.The food was great and came out fast and hot. Most of us had flatbreads and they were really tasty and fresh. The mushroom flatbread in particular was really delicious.Overall would highly recommend this place for dinner, especially if you're staying at this or a nearby hotel and especially if you want a MUCH better alternative to an over-priced meal at Disney.“

“For the past 5 years the Hammer has been my go to place to grab a drink where I don't have to worry if the bartender is good enough to make sure it doesn't taste like I'm drinking rubbing alcohol. Out of their current menu I only know of the Zombie (which is super cool) but I always order my two go-to drinks there that are from their older menus: the class of '98 (aka the basic bitch) and the foreign friend. Both drinks are refreshing and slightly fruity. I frequent the bar and an satisfied with their services and drink quality that I own two of their t-shirts that you can buy if you're weird like I am about getting t shirts from places that offer basic non-tacky looking shirts, 10/10 recommended for comfort and laid back looking t shirt. The bartenders sometimes are wearing them.“

“The waitress was excellent, and the mozzarella sticks I had never had any like these crunchy, crispy and just soooo delicious. Quesadilla with chicken was just as delicious too. Live music was Super Duper main vocals her voice was prefect, we will be going back soon.“

“Food was delicious and healthy, service was great often came to check on you, and the place was authentic and had a home type of feel... only downside was the food felt overpriced and disliked the fact they charged per glass of soda when they fill it 3/4 of the way with ice ..“

“This bar is so great. Met some awesome people here and played plenty of pool and video games. Lots of TV's and excellent bartenders. Never once waited for a drink. Thanks Mary! Absolutely love this place and will be returning very soon!)Parking: Had no problem parking in the back, right by the back doorWheelchair accessibility: Seen ramps up both doors for handicap persons.“

“It's an amazing karaoke bar!It's different from Japanese karaoke!But it was fun!If you write your request on a piece of paper and give it to them, they will pass it to you in turn.I don’t think I sing in front of people I don’t know, so this might be a new frontier for me ?“

“Went in to celebrate my birthday with a group of 16 guest and we were comfortably seated. The server was attentive and did great serving us. The ambiance was very chill. Everything we ordered came out in a good time and everything was tasteful. Overall we had an enjoyable time and will love to go back.“

“Loved this place! I have lived in Orange County for 28 years and I've driven by this place HUNDREDS of times and never knew it existed. Great food, incredible vibe, tremendous happy hour, and fantastic service. I had the king cut prime rib, and I felt like Fred Flintstone! Huge piece of meat and very good. Sides were great too...excellent whiskey selection with Eagle Rare at reasonable prices!“

“My family and I were in the area on vacation to Disneyland and were hungry for something other than pizza and tacos. We stopped by and decided to try La Casa Garcia and were not disappointed. The restaurant was clean, the perfect temp., friendly and fast service. The food was excellent! Next time we are in Anaheim we will definitely drop by again to enjoy the food.“

“Relaxed atmosphere, bartenders are awesome. Now offering soft tip Darts on Phoenix dart boards. At LaMirada and Santa Ana. Could not keep track of all the games there were so many going on tonight not complaining love to keep up with all of them. Really love their logo and what they've done with the doors in both bars. Definitely worth a visit“

“I want to thank Nick, who I believe was the manager there for the restaurant. The rain cancelled our reservation at another bar there, but he helped us get to the lounge. It was an amazing experience with such amazing food! The staff was so kind and they even brought our 1 year old a cupcake for his birthday! Please take time out of your Disney visit and enjoy this beautiful place!“

“I came to this store around 6 o'clock on a Monday evening. There were not many people in the store and I didn't have to wait. When I entered the store, I immediately felt it had a sense of age. The waiter was very enthusiastic and led me to my seat. The menu and tea were served quickly. On the menu Some say it opened in 1984. I ordered Mapo Tofu and Teppanyaki Sanxian. First of all, Mapo Tofu is amazingly delicious and tastes very authentic, with the green peppercorn flavor that I tasted in Chongqing. The three fresh iron plates are very delicious. Finally, we were treated to a sesame dessert, which was also very delicious. The food I ordered was still very memorable long after I finished eating it.“

“The day we visited for dinner , the kitchen seemed to have had a bad day. The kitchen was out of two core items and the fish and potato skins we ordered was over cooked. The drinks were fantastic! Curtis the manager heard our feedback and made it right. I look forward to visiting again to enjoy a different experience.“

“Luis is absolutely amazing! He's one of the best bartenders I've ever met. So kind and attentive. He always remembers me and my drinks and is always excited to see his customers. Josh the KJ js pretty awesome as well always friendly and has a smile on his face. Will definitely be back.“

“Veary popular place so make reservations. They are busy so expect to sit down and have a meal. Not a dine thing, not a quick bite. Food and wine, drinks all excellent. Should give it a try if you enjoy Italian cuisine!!! Owner was a very beautiful woman, very friendly and helpful!!!“

“We came here as a 2nd option on Sunday night football when our 1st choice didn't come threw. Food is ok not to mention you have to wait till 5pm to order most foods. The 1st waitress we had was not so great! She was slow and made a lot of excuses for delays with our food let alone just her taking our order. The TV set up was a bit poor for game night. They had a lot of tvs up high but they were rather small to top it off they were blocked by lanterns they happen have hanging in the middle of it so th as t was a not annoying. I did though love the 3 piece giant screen TV they had set up for the game but again, they had a pile of what looks like props covering up the bottom half of the screen so everytime I wanted to see the scores and stats, I had to look over at the smaller tv. Not sure what the Owner was thinking with this set up. Drinks were good but took a long time to come out . Some orders were actually forgotten. The food concept of Asian fusion is cool but it lacked the details about lined above.“
