18 Best Pubs near Costa Mesa

“This place is an absolute gem in Costa Mesa. I stopped in for a drink and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a local spot. It is vibrant, laid back, and full of character.

I really enjoyed the setup. The walls are covered in so many unique stickers that you could spend an hour just looking at them. It makes for such a cool, personal vibe while you enjoy your beer.

Everything was perfect for a relaxing night out. Whether you are grabbing a pint or just hanging out at the bar, it is a great time. I will definitely be back.“

“It's a bit embarrassing to talk about a brewery without mentioning the beer, but I'll focus on everything else. Everything else was excellent, from the food to the service to the friendly and professional staff.
We had an excellent dinner. And my friends loved the beer“

“We had such a great experience at The Harp Inn! Maddie was our server, and she was wonderful, very attentive, detail-oriented, and genuinely engaged throughout our visit. You could tell she was working incredibly hard to make sure everything was taken care of. The burger was fresh and delicious, and the fries were absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back. Local legend and recommended by locals. Live music and comedy night as well. Looking forward to coming back“

“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,“

“A good friend recommended that I visit the Wet Dog Tavern for the first time, and I was immediately blown away by the interiors. Everything was clean and modern, and I kept telling my friend about how I liked that the front windows were big and unobstructed by signage. I like being able to see inside of a bar from the patio, otherwise I feel disconnected from what's happening inside. Being able to watch the Karaoke going on inside is a huge plus, and I think it's a smart way to attract foot traffic into a bar too. Everyone inside was so happy too!“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“I haven’t visited Mutt Lynch’s since the mid 90’s. I spent many days / nights shooting pool , listening to the Jukebox and drinking cold beers. It was so great to visit this month and meet great people and relive great memories. Thanks to Ross & Sara (h)and Victor for your kindness and helping me to feel at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make memories and have a Great Time. I’ll be Back.“

“Awesome service great time with family“

“Dinner at the Alley for my birthday. Got the Steak Diane , cooked perfectly and Brandy sauce was amazing. My partner got the Cajun Chicken pasta, which looked amazing and tasted really good. Waitress was great with refilling drinks and checking in with our table. The only thing I didnt like is the noise level is loud bc there's a bar next to the restaurant dining tables, which you had to talk louder to hear other people talking. Other than that , would definitely come back as I want to try their other dishes.“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“In the Huntington State Beach .
Enter at Huntington State Beach entrance on the corner of Beach Blvd & PCH.
parking lot entrance fee $15 into the beach
Across from tower 15 with beach front views a great place to people watch and enjoy cocktails and ice gold beer . conveniently walkable to the water , and enjoy the fir pit and volleyball courts access.

During this visit we had their ceviche chips , BBQ bacon burger, sipping ice cold beer while
enjoying the phenomenal view .

I suggest pack light no need to haul out side food to the beach. Come relax entrust your belly to delicious made to order meals .“

“Great time! Bartender Trish and Security Chemo make it a great time. I’d be back just for them 😜“

“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“
