Patrick's Pub Pubs • $
2645 Harbor Blvd, 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.“

“It's the definition of a longstanding dive bar. It's been here for 55 years so it's a classic. It's known for all their beers on tap, but it's also a full bar with any option of cocktails. The service is fast and friendly and the prices are great during happy hour.“

“First time at Goat Hill and Rob the bartender greeted me immediately. He is the sweetest most genuine bartender I've met. Made me feel safe which is extremely rare with bartenders. He's there every other day but Tuesday and Wednesday. I love Rob.“

Chicken Fajitas

“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.“

OC Boardroom Bar • $$
8896 Warner Ave, Fountain Valley - 5.99 miles

“Nice enough spot. Lots of room although they do try and pack a couple of tables into the corners despite the huge amount of room by the dart boards. Tables are 7 footers and diamond so nice enough. Cloth is in pretty good condition. Drink selection is about average as is pricing although the first drink I got seemed a bit watered down. People are gregarious and not shy. Keep your expectations in check as it is sort of a dive bar but, as they go, a pretty good one.“
