50 Best Bars near Corona Del Mar

“Great place was looking for @Shannonbeador but no luck! Highly recommended anyway!“

“Each dish is spectacular. Love the calamari ….can be an appetizer to share or eat on your own with a salad. 230:Forest Avenue never disappoints!!!“

“A MUST go. As a veteran and parent to an active service member who was in the area during military training this place is a must go for all veterans or military members. The pizza is out of this world and probably top two of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The atmosphere is great and Johnny is a class act guy.“

“Great to meet you Mike! Wonderful food & drinks! We will be back!“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!“

“Amazing food and amazing service.“

“We had a wonderful experience at P10neer. The cocktail program is impressive—the twists on the classic Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, and Espresso Martini were all hits. Service was attentive and warm throughout the night. It does get quite loud inside once it gets busy, so next time we’ll definitely try to reserve the lounge seating for a cozy setup.“

“Love it here! Music is always on point m! 😍“

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!“

“great NY vibe with good food“

“Reviewed this place on yelp as well! I come here almost every night and adore it. Truly feels like a second home (with a lot more booze- lol) If you get to meet the bartender Kat you’re in for the best time. I’ve adored her since the minute she started there. I haven’t seen her as much lately- hope that changes. Other than that, this place is truly the best local bar in Orange County.“

“My wife and I love this place! It's tucked into a corner of the strip mall and attached to a number of food options. It's windows are usually open so it's a great stop on a nice afternoon. Omar is an upbeat, fun bartender with creative drink ideas and a joy to hang with. Good music, nice vibes and a cherished secret in a sea of corporate offices.“

“They have great food and a fantastic venue to listen to quality musicians! I was there last night with my husband. We got to hear Kenny Metcalf perform Elton John’s Deep Cuts. It was SO good! Kenny Metcalf performed songs I have only heard on Elton John’s albums. I’m so delighted I got to see this particular show!! WOW! It was off the charts musically and Kenny is such a talented singer and musician. When I closed my eyes I thought Elton was singing. The band was amazing too. That guitar player that I don’t remember his name, played a few solo guitar riffs that had everyone in the room clapping. The sold out venue was electric with the sound of Elton John’s deep cuts that I would never have heard live. So amazingly well done!!!! I left with a big smile on my face. I’m going to tell all my friends about Campus Jax….“

“First off I don’t ever spend time reviewing places that I have visited. With that being said, I had to leave a review because this place is an amazing local spot that had such a friendly and engaging staff. The drinks were phenomenal and the patrons were all super friendly local residents.
The place looks great inside but it makes sense because the new owners did a complete gut job to make it all brand new. Hope this place stays open for many years to come.“

“Fun place bartenders are nice, They host Pool league and a Dart league several nights a week dart players are older folks who can be slightly rude but otherwise fun place for any night of the week they have TouchTunes jukebox that has an app you can pick almost any song you can think of it's fun“

“This is a good place to bring someone who is new to the area. I feel that if you live near this restaurant, as I do, that there are other places that are better for tacos, honestly. That being said, their presentation and food is very good,“

“Hi from down under (Sydney Australia). We visited Laguna beach in January and loved your town and this venue, plus the brewery down the road. Will definitely be back. Please come and visit us on the northern beaches of Sydney - very similar vibe to LB 🙏“

“Now El Matatan.

Elevated south of the border food and perhaps Laguna Beach's best burger - thick 8 oz patty with cheese, grilled onions, arugula and bone marrow mayonnaise. now available with a fried egg and bacon on top too.

I ordered it with a second patty for $15 extra and the dark purple Okinawa fries, which were next level - cooked crunchy for the most part, like chips! we ended up sharing the second patty... 12 oz of beef for both of us for less $$ than the 12 oz steak!

After we came the first time, I was CRAVING the Okinawa fries and I told several people about this place. Other friends have tried it and told me how good it was!

insane gluten free churro! wow. dreamy.

convenient location with street and several parking lots right nearby.

their menu is 95% gluten free without any substitutions! they make nearly everything in house. no generic sysco food here!

I am so glad this place opened. back a second time today to have the burger again!

the drinks are great and the prices are amazing! top shelf liquor at well liquor prices!“

“A strip mall bar, that is exactly what it should be. Locals at the bar, cheap drinks and a jukebox playing. Will return for the drink prices alone and I'll stay for the good vibes.
Also the beer selection was excellent. Just good ol' reliable classics. Not a whole lot for the beer nerds but this isn't really that kinda place.“

“The turkey & Swiss sandwich and tuna salad sandwich were insanely incredible! The dressing on their salad was delicious!!! Shyla was so sweet, a true gem! We’ll be back!!!! ♥️♥️“

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!“

“Great place love going there !“

“Lovely staff & great food.“

“Wow! What a fantastic experience. First, I need to touch upon the fact that Rosa was absolutely incredible. I was the only one in the lounge on a Monday evening, and she took the best care of me. She explained everything about Kava and answered all my questions, she is clearly very educated on the root. She was such a doll. And then Josh came in for his shift and again, couldn't be more impressed! An intelligent, kind man whom I had great conversation.

The Kava itself was of the purest form and delicious. My favorite combo is the coconut cream and chai. I felt great drinking it.

The vibes were immaculate. So relaxing, great music. Comfortable seating. Can't wait to return.“

“Amazing fior, great service, can't say enough positive stuff about this place!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and have to give our bartender/waiter Jake a huge shout out. He was the best! Definitely going back again.“

“Cool Newport Beach bar sitting on the beach side. Has been There that I remember from the ’60’s“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food will exceed your expectations. The only improvement I would love to see is beers on tap.“

“Hit the mark, prices ok, 24/7 Willy Wonka on TV👍“

“My friends and I are staying here, and this evening we stepped out for a stroll by the ocean. We were feeling a bit peckish and wanted to make sure we had an interesting evening. We popped into our hotel lobby—and, as it turns out, there was live music playing! That’s right, folks: apparently, they have music here every single day. The atmosphere is actually very pleasant, and the music itself is excellent. We had a truly wonderful time. We weren't hungry, so we didn't order any food; they simply brought us some water while we sat back and enjoyed the music, along with the magnificent view of the ocean from the hotel balcony. I took a video and attached a photo so you could take a look.“

“I happened to be in Huntington Beach for my dog and wanted to join other veterans and the places that celebrated us. I stumbled on 25 degrees. What a pleasure. The bartender couldn't have been any more of a delight. She even had them make a patty for my service dog. I met an amazing vet Darren and his lady Becca. Hi Becca and Darren. I think we are going to be great boat friends. I have a 17 foot Boston whaler a Montauk fishing boat and and need other fishermen/women to take it out. Looking forward to many days on the water. I will wear their sweatshirt with the pride I have for other veterans. Stop in and say hi. I wish I got the bartenders name. I will tell many. Love you forever!!!! Patriots“

“I sometimes stop by this bar after work — either to grab a drink or have dinner after picking up groceries. Great atmosphere, wide selection of drinks, and it’s very convenient being right inside the same building. Always a nice spot to relax for a bit.“

“Delicious Italian cuisine! Stylish interior of the Restaurant!“

“TV, adult beverages & relaxation“

“Went in on a Friday night and the place had a nice energy without feeling too crowded. The bartenders were friendly and actually took the time to help me pick a drink I ended up really liking. Prices seemed fair for the area, and the music was at a good volume where you could still have a conversation. Food was decent too, especially the appetizers. Service got a little slow later in the evening, but nothing that really took away from the experience. Overall, it was a pretty good spot to relax with friends and I'd probly come back again.“

“My wife and I were on vacation from AZ and visited this great dive bar three times. Everyone treated us like regulars and we fit right in. Bartenders and the patrons were all so welcoming and nice. The AZ couple will be back every time we visit Huntington Beach. Thanks for the hospitality, shots, and ride to the airport!“

“Getting rid of the pictures for beers margaritas is ridiculous. We come here with a big group every Friday to listen to Music eat dinner drink a lot of alcohol and sometimes on Sunday afternoon. If you don’t bring back the pictures, we may not come back FYI.“

“Discovered this spot while grabbing a bite between client meetings in Huntington Beach — a colleague had mentioned it and I'm glad I checked it out. The Guild Club James has a great vibe, nice cocktail program, and a kitchen that clearly takes the food seriously. It's a solid option for a more casual but still elevated dining experience in the Huntington Beach area. I've started recommending it to clients relocating to the HB corridor who are looking for neighborhood spots with personality. The crowd skews young and energetic which gives the space a great energy. Will be back and will definitely bring clients.“

“Perfect place to hang and catch up“

“We were in town, visiting family members. It turned into a full-blown nightmare for my son and I. To erase the negativity, our hotel clerk recommended this jewel of a bar across street...from the moment we stepped into this place, it turned into an awesome experience and made our last night in town, fun and relaxing. Pool, music, people...genuine. The lovely, energetic and experienced bartender, was absolutely on-top of ensuring not just us, but that all the clients, were taken care of. If you want to distress and wipe off the negativity, this is the place to be!“

“Invited my friend for her Bday treat and was not disappointed 🤩 steak was melting in my mouth and my friend said that fillet mignon was super tender !! potatoes and veggies simply delicious 😋 very good service and atmosphere 🥰 highly recommended 5⭐️👌“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“We had a blast at this 80’s themed ski lodge at the beach! Love the effort put into all of the details, and the themed drinks were 🤩“

“We love Woody’s, especially when Michelle is working. We love how friendly and sweet she is ❤️“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“
