A really dope spot! Clean! Clean restrooms, full spacious bar! Went to catch a show, some technical difficulties, but nothing major! Loved the show! Super intimate. I want to come back to try the food.

Classic OC music venue and bar right off 19th in Costa Mesa / Newport Mesa area . This place has gone through a few names and owners, but its still iconic. Our bands have played here many time over the last 15 years and there's nowhere else you can see quality bands in such an intimate venue in all of Orange County. Plus the bar drink and food are great and they do tons of weekly events like Karaoke and Trivia. Keep this independent music venue alive and go see bands, buy a drink and go hang here.

The food is really good for bar food. The problem I have with live music venues is that you can't hear the band the band is stuffed in the little square box in the front of the bar they need to have speakers throughout the bar and they should not be playing a fucking movie while the band is on. There should be a video of the band on stage and the band should be on the TV is throughout the bar along with speakers throughout the bar it's disrespectful to the band. Come on man step it up you're about the only live music venue in Orange County you can do better. they're also should be purse hooks under the bar.

Nice hidden gem. Looks nice inside, dimmed setting with concert stage in the next room. The only thing that could be worked on is the men's bathroom. I personally am a dive bar guy, so I'm used to $hitty bathrooms. This one is a $hitty dive bar bathroom that doesn't complement the test of the venue. That's the only thing bad I could say about this place. Good vibe and good crowd on the Wednesday night we went to see Sunny Sweeny, County singer.

To preface, I don't leave many reviews. Absolutely awful bar. My friend was dancing on the dance floor and the bartender was upset that she was dancing with the band so he kicked our whole group out. We were there for a birthday so it was a big loss. Won't be coming back anytime soon.

Great spot for live music, two new pool tables, and a great selection of drinks at a reasonable price.
