50 Best Bars near Fountain Valley

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

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Fun place bartenders are nice, They host Pool league and a Dart league several nights a week dart players are older folks who can be slightly rude but otherwise fun place for any night of the week they have TouchTunes jukebox that has an app you can pick almost any song you can think of it's fun“

“Best I’ve had outside Vietnam!“

“Great food, great waitstaff, and great atmosphere. The patio is such a nice environment to dine with large groups on a nice summer day. The sense of community is great, and many of the other guests I chatted with travel over an hour just to eat here. It's just that good of a place.

They have a band which plays karaoke on weekends. The music and musicians are great, and so many guests are eager to sing! The only thing I could ask for would be for the volume of speakers to be turned down slightly. For those who enjoy a calmer dining experience, the tables inside are a pleasure.“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“Didn’t realize it was a diver bar, even though it has saloon in the name lol. But we went in and everyone was really nice. John and Bruno are very welcoming and friendly guys. the pizza was 5/5 stars .. definitely will be back and use the text to pick up in the future.“

“My friend and I recently visited The Blind Rabbit which is located inside the Packing House. We decided to try our luck without a reservation and put our names on the waitlist. To our surprise, there were a few cancellations, and after waiting about 25 minutes, we were texted that our reservation was ready.

As we entered the speakeasy, we were warmly greeted by the staff and immediately taken in by the festive Christmas decor—it truly set a magical tone. The drinks and music created a lively and cozy atmosphere, and the bartenders were incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the charm of the evening.

Unfortunately, since we arrived later in the evening, the kitchen was already closed, so we didn’t get a chance to try the food. This gives us the perfect reason to return—I’m eager to explore more of their drink menu and try some of their food offerings next time!

Overall, The Blind Rabbit is a gem of a speakeasy with great vibes and exceptional service. Highly recommended, but I’d suggest making a reservation to guarantee your spot!“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“

“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!!“

“Always a good time. Will be back“

“Oysters are always super delicious and fresh! The list of oysters is extensive and ever changing. The salads are so filling and the clam chowder is the bomb! Staff is always friendly and the service is great.“

“Nice place.“

“Perfect place to hang and catch up“

“Stopped here before my gfs departing flight and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the drinks were stiff and reasonably priced, and our bartender (Tucker) was the kindest and most efficient bartender I’ve ever had in my life. From now on, this place will be a mandatory go-to before flying out of SNA.“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“They have great food and a fantastic venue to listen to quality musicians! I was there last night with my husband. We got to hear Kenny Metcalf perform Elton John’s Deep Cuts. It was SO good! Kenny Metcalf performed songs I have only heard on Elton John’s albums. I’m so delighted I got to see this particular show!! WOW! It was off the charts musically and Kenny is such a talented singer and musician. When I closed my eyes I thought Elton was singing. The band was amazing too. That guitar player that I don’t remember his name, played a few solo guitar riffs that had everyone in the room clapping. The sold out venue was electric with the sound of Elton John’s deep cuts that I would never have heard live. So amazingly well done!!!! I left with a big smile on my face. I’m going to tell all my friends about Campus Jax….“

“Nice vibe-y place to stop off for a cocktail. Tucked away in the corner but there are plenty of clear signs pointing the way. Most of their cocktails had an Asian bent: miso, ume, shiso, etc.
Nice enough staff too.
Would recommend“

“I love this place! And the bartenders are the heart and soul of this establishment. If it wasn’t for Candace and Marissa, then I wouldn’t come here. They’re the best and most friendliest people you’ll ever meet. And I love kareoke so that makes this place a 10/10“

If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“Great pub and restaurant run by a fantastic owner "Kim". I started going to the door in the 90s when I lived in Tustin and still go to this day even though I live 30 miles away. Kayla is the sweetest and most likable bartender in Orange County. She always tends to her patrons and makes everyone who stops by for a drink feel special. I love the experience and love this pub!“

“A Quinton Tarantino dive bar minus the foul smell, filled with retired Marines, contractors, cooks, bus boys, bikers, lawyers, real estate nerds, and college drop out made well types. True dive 101 super clean great music Elvise, Billy Idol, James Brown, Motorhead, Beastie Boys and fidlar, small atmosphere propper drinks, awesome bartenders and a buffalo. Ask about their world famous chili. Please forgive my grammar.“

“Always a good time at Campus!“

“I have coming to this location for about a year now and have had the privileged to me most of all of the bartenders and to be honest I sometimes only stop by to grab food .. my fave is bacon wrapped hot dog , it’s loaded and so yummy. Also, all the finger foods are amazing and I’m able take home to indulge during my movie nights at home. One last thing - Amanda the bartender is one of my favs she’s so nice and even with a full bar she makes you feel like you’re the only one there giving you all the attention.“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“Great place was looking for @Shannonbeador but no luck! Highly recommended anyway!“

“Me and my husband felt like going somewhere fancy the other night so we went to the Guild. We sat at their bar and had a few drinks. The service was impeccable and I can't stop thinking about their Espresso Martini, it was one of the best ones I had in my life. My husband loved Riserva Paper Plane the most. We will be back for sure!“

“The Pizza 1000/10, exceptional! I’d come back again just for a pie.

The Drinks 6.5/10, not as good as I remember but very alcohol forward which I did appreciate.

The atmosphere 10/10, great vibes and music.

The Hostess 0/10, relax bud in your $100 suit and $20 worth of costume jewelry. You’re not in New Port Beach dummy.“

“Love this place. It's a "jewel of the nile" dive bar when it comes to Beach Blvd. Gorgeous women and great service go hand in hand at the Green Girl! Mark this location on your map and stop by! I would recommend checking this place out if you like dive bars. I haven't tried any food from here so I can't rate it.
