Hidden gem, that's not well hidden
Was pretty blown away by the ambition and quality of the drinks. Definitely experimental. Healthy sized menu with quite a bit of variety. Some very bold combinations that basically work.
Atmosphere wise, it's not that loud given how tiny the space is.
Edit came back a year later. Too sweet mist though ok

Really happy that we have an amazing cocktail bar in our neighborhood. We’ve gone several times this year already as it’s just down the block.
Our first visit was phenomenal, our server went through the drinks and explained in detail why they were made this way and also explained the variations on classic cocktails. It made the experience 10/10 and was on par with many amazing top 50 cocktail bars around the world.

P10neer is a hidden gem and a true speakeasy, offering an intimate, lively, and cozy vibe with a curated astronaut theme. The space is small and dimly lit, with lovely, elegant décor, though it can feel loud due to its size. For craft cocktails, the prices are exactly what you’d expect, and the exceptional quality and service make it feel like a bargain.
The cocktail menu is bold, adventurous, and brilliant, featuring familiar drinks with unique takes and a fantastic seasonal selection. Drinks are carefully concocted, super complex, and beautifully made, with clear thought given to flavors and textures. Specific highlights include the Espresso Tonic, described as perfection, and the spirit-forward but balanced Angel Face. The mocktail of juniper and tonic is also transporting. The presentation is notable, with fun square ice cubes and lovely glassware.
The service is exceptional, incredibly kind, and helpful. The bartenders and servers are brilliant conversationalists, incredibly knowledgeable, and passionate, taking time to walk guests through the menu in detail. This warmth and expertise make the experience memorable.
Food offerings are the perfect accompaniment, including fresh, briny olives, fresh sourdough or crusty bread with salty, rich butter, and tinned mussels with an optimal lemon squeeze. Reservations are key due to the tiny space. Overall, it is an incredible hidden speakeasy, perfect for a cocktail adventure, date night, or casual nightcap, and is highly recommended as the best cocktail bar in OC.
