Lounges near Costa Mesa, CA

“It was chill, not too crowded, great music. I didnt eat anything, just came for the music.“

“Such a fun time tonight. Great bartender. We’ll made drinks. !“

“Okay, OC, buckle up — if bars could slide into your DMs, blow you a kiss, and then mix you a drink that makes your knees weak, Kitsch Bar in Costa Mesa would be the smooth operator doing exactly that.
I sashayed in thinking “just one drink” and left feeling like the entire lounge had been personally trying to court me all night. That brand-new walk-around bar? It’s straight-up seductive architecture — you literally circle the flirtation while the low red lights kiss everything in sight, the plush booths give you a warm hug, and the disco ball throws sparkly little winks like it’s in on the game. TVs for the sports, weekend entertainment that keeps the vibe bouncing (karaoke nights, house beats, throwback hip-hop), and a whole atmosphere that screams “stay a while… or forever, we’re not picky.”
Major shoutout to the absolute rockstar behind the bar (didn’t catch your name, gorgeous, but if you’re the one pouring with that effortless charm and trouble-making smile, this review is blowing you a kiss). This legend built my cocktail like it was a flirty love note — perfectly balanced, dangerously delicious, and just spicy enough to keep the conversation interesting. Happy hour 6-8pm with $6 wells and $5 beers? I felt like I was being spoiled rotten on a first-date budget. Service was white-glove quick, zero attitude, all playful banter that had me giggling into my glass and ordering round two before I could even pretend to play hard to get.
In a world of boring lounges that ghost you after the first sip, Kitsch Bar is serving full rom-com main-character energy with a wink, a stir, and pours that flirt right back. No pretentious nonsense, just pure, delicious mischief wrapped in velvet vibes and good times until 2am.
10/10. I’m already counting down to my next rendezvous — probably tonight. Bring your best flirty energy, your favorite smirk, and zero plans after midnight. This spot doesn’t just reciprocate… it escalates. 😏🍸
(Pro tip: Slide in during happy hour, grab a stool at that magical walk-around bar, and let the night do its thing. You’re welcome in advance.)“

“Great atmosphere, great service and excellent food. The 38oz Porterhouse 🥩was delicious and split between 4 people We will definitely be back.“

“Enjoyed a side of breakfast sausages and bacon. Sausages were a good size and had a little spice/pepper... Just the right amount. Bacon was crispy & nice and salty.Ordered both at the aMuse restaurant inside the Marriott, but cost wise it's better to pay for the buffet (which is in a separate room). The only downside for the buffet is the sausage/bacon/ham rotates each day.Nice service, clean and bright space.“

“Gran ambiente y atención un lugar muy bonito“

“First night for dinner was AMAZING!! Food was on point!!! Second night…. Both our steaks were cold“

“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!!“

“Just a nice hang to sip a beer or my favorite cocktail. Friendly staff and not bad on the eyes either. New chef came in and upped their food game. I believe I heard he’s from a local brewery. I highly recommend the sticky ribs. See you at Happy Hour 😋“

“Very relaxing, great atmosphere, cool place to hang out with friends after work.“

“We love this hotel. Great bar, good food and attentive staff. Super location close to south coast plaza!“

“When we got done a Desconso Gardens, we were looking for a local place to try. The reviews we read were right on. I had a turkey avocado sandwich on Armenian bread. It was fresh and delicious. And the tomato bisque soup was out of this world. It is cash only so come prepared, but it's well worth it!“

“Anaheim Jackie really makes this bar. She made me a killer whiskey sour with actual egg white. Strong drinks and friendly fast service. I just wish it was open a little earlier. Funny wall decor too... Pictured lol It was a great conversation started “

“Món ăn ngon, giá rẻ, đa dạng. có Dj và Piano ở friday, có đồ ăn chay. Phù hợp cho family,couple và tổ chức birthday, party!“

“We were doing some shopping nearby and decided to get lunch there after reviewing the menu. The restaurants follows the CDC covid-19 guidelines by limiting indoor dining, but have outdoor dining tables that allowing social distancing. We try the banh beo and the fish noodle soup. The broth was very delicious and authentic. The diluted fish sauce that came with the banh beo was very tasty. Staff service is ok. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the food. I would recommend this restaurant if you would like to try authentic Vietnmese food in the central region.“

“The food here is awesome. The vibe is pretty great too. It was a bit empty when we came for a 6:30 dinner, but they were setting up a band for later. Only downside is the road noise, but otherwise a perfect evening. We ordered hummus, fried mushrooms, lamb kebab, and beef combo kebab. Super tasty, and very tender and juicy meats. Definitely will come back!“

“Had a great experience here. The view was unreal and really calming. The food was really good and filling, and the service was just as great. My server Jay was awesome and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment I walked in, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Will definitely be back here again, hopefully soon.“

“Great restaurant, A1 service, friendly staff, great ambiance, food and drinks“

“A beautiful place to dine for date night or with friends. Tonight we celebrated a cherished friends bday. Cocktails weren’t excellent nothing watered down. The food was everything! Our server was cheerful & helpful. Its why we like to bring our friends…never disappointed.“

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

“Such an enjoyable atmosphere, a cool night with a pleasant breeze. The sunset was amazing to watch from my vantage point high above PCH an the beach. The staff, Stephanie and Amy, that I spoke with, were fantastic to speak with and very informative and fun-loving. I anticipate that the service will be just as fantastic when I return.“

“The outside does not represent the dope interior vibe!
Bartenders are great & friendly.
Crowd is chill, mix age group.
Tables n booth available for bigger groups.
Back has a taco truck, lots of space, a dj, and heaters. Win win.“

“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.“

“Food was good. However, the prices are on the higher end for the amount of food they provide. The dining area is very calm and relaxing. Not many people when I was there around 5pm.

Happy Hour is Daily from 4:30pm to 6pm.“

“Had a blast with all of our old friends from back in our "Bamboo Lounge" days. Gari Ann was the perfect Karaoke host. See you all next month!!“

“Great live music venue with 2 stages“

“Recomiendo esta página super kool , Bendiciones 🙏“

“Nice atmosphere and good service, friendly staff and great food. The drinks are also great“

“Had a most excellent Italian cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. Espresso was so smooth - just perfect. Thanks for the ❤️ you put into your shop.“

“This is the find of the decade! Virtually hidden on a tiny street adjacent to the Coast Highway, the eclectic, artistic interior is as welcoming as the attentive and super friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor dining options, comfy furniture, a hip buzzy adjacent bar lets you know immediately you are in for a uniquely Newport Beach experience that you won’t want to leave. But all of this is nothing compared to the cuisine. The wide variety of ostensibly Middle Eastern menu items are comprehensive to meet virtually any dietary needs from vegan to Ketovore, but the competency across the board is astounding!! Lentil soup, yellow veggie curry, kabob, steak Diane - everything shines on its own merit. I planned to have one of the divine sounding desserts but alas, the portions were so generous that we had to take a rain check. Here’s hoping for a downpour!“

“This is fabulous dining by the coast.“

“The room is very spacious and the food is very good. This restaurant is in a plaza so there is a lot of parking for cars. The waiter is very fun and lively to talk to. The interesting part about this restaurant is that there is a karaoke stage for those who wants to sing in front of the restaurant so definitely recommend to bring friends along for karaoke dinner party. 10/10 would come back here again“

“I bet you really enjoyed your meal. I know you enjoyed your friends you were with and the company of your beautiful Honey. She is so special to have at your side. I Love you my Brother and miss you every day. Someday we will spend a great time again. Much love. Big Bob Peterson. There is only one.“

“Good beer and good business“

“Great place for enjoying 👍“
