50 Best Sports Bars near Fountain Valley

“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“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE - on Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays. The female bartender that works those nights is an absolute joy. Her drinks are awesome & her personality is even better than her drinks. It's a place I go to when I've had a hard day. Great atmosphere, entertaining. But if you want food, order before you actually are hungry because the food court take their time getting the food to you. That has happened to me everytime I order food thru the bartender.“

“The food and service was great“

“We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is parking available but expect the lot to be full most evenings and of course if there is a big game going on.

There are wall to wall screens to watch the game. Billiards tables in the front and the back. There is a full bar and lots of great beers on tap.

We started with a Fat Tire and a Snakebite. Both were served in large glasses and were very refreshing on a hot day.

We got a few appetizers. The loaded tots were crisp and delicious with lots of bacon and green onions. The mozzarella triangles had great cheese pull and the marinara sauce was great. We also got buffalo wings that were large and flavorful.

The pastrami burger was up next. A good size patty and thick cut pastrami made for a good burger. The twice fried fries were also delicious.

We also got a Meat Lover's pizza. More great cheese pull and loved the toppings including the sausage.

We finished with a Shirley Temple.

Great service and great food and drinks in a chill vibe location will make this your hang out spot in the OC.“

“We love it 🥰 especially that beef stew on Tuesday! Yum!“

“really appreciate the staff here, especially the bartenders Taylor, Kaylee, Chris, and Tammy, as well as the doormen Daffer and Leon. They’ve always been friendly, professional, and helped create a welcoming atmosphere.

The environment can vary depending on the night and the crowd, but overall it’s a great place to relax, play some pool, and hang out with friends. The pool tables are well-maintained and reasonably priced, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to chill and shoot some pool, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

Never disappoints on anything on there menu and drinks are stiff, with a good selection of beers plenty of comfortable seating and accommodations for any sports team you want to watch!“

“Friendly employees and people.
Ice cold drinks.
All around are just like family.
Met the owner one day while having a drink with one of the guys there. She is a very sweet and kind lady.
Thank you to all.
Yes, I will return.“

“Well, 1st time here. Food was delicious (Maybe because I was starving) but good. Beer was cold, both of them. Service, well . . . . If they weren't on their cells all the time, it could have been better.
Two girls working and only 15 people here. Not that busy for a Friday. But the manager should push 'Work Ethics' here and focus on customers, not hiding behind the bar“

“Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Amazing people.“

“When I first visited this place, I tried it out, and the kitchen service wasn't very good; they kept getting the order wrong. However, it has improved so much since then! The staff are now really friendly, and the kitchen is much better. The bar service is fantastic, making it a perfect spot to go with friends, grab a drink, and unwind. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new, cool place to chill. It's been greatly improved and is now very clean and welcoming.“

“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!“

“The service was great and the staff was friendly. The band that played was awesome (Muffler). The food was good, and the prices were fair. However the big screen TV's could use an upgrade. It would not be my first choice to go watch a game as the TV's were old and the picture quality was pretty bad. If they upgrade the TV's I would upgrade my rating.“

“Great good, atmosphere, and service. Came by for a MNF game while in town for a realty conference this week. Waitress Allie was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“We actually ended up at Salty Dawg Tavern by mistake because of a mix-up with our plans, but what a happy accident! This place is a total gem that we never would have discovered otherwise.
The food was great, the waitresses were super nice and friendly, and the overall vibe in the tavern was so much fun. It felt like the perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable time.
Highly recommend stopping in — even if you find it by accident like we did! We'll definitely be back on purpose next time. 🐶🍻“

“Good food and amazing service!“

“Food here is actually really good. It's not like gourmet but it's the perfect fried food to go with your cold beer. Great friendly service. There's a jukebox that you can pay to play music, a Foosball table, darts and a punching machine if you wanna diversify your fun. Tables are in good standing and I didn't see a bad pool cue. Perfect billiards spot“

“Came here with my boyfriend because of the Professional Beer Inspector on Instagram. This place had one of the coldest beers featured in his reviews, so we had to check it out.

As soon as we walked in, the music was legit. No horrible new songs--just classics and rock 'n' roll.

Everyone was having a great time inside. You could tell they were locals having real conversations. The crowd was more mature, which was chill, but everyone was still welcoming and friendly. We arrived right before it got too packed for Karaoke Night (Fridays). We met one of the bartenders, Dylan, and he was phenomenal. He took his time with our orders and personally introduced himself with a handshake. The group next to us randomly invited us to sit with them. They were friendly people. Another bartender, Nissa, was even singing behind the bar.

While I was waiting in line to place an order, the manager, Rudy, came up to me and introduced himself. He welcomed us, thanked us for coming in, and told us to let him know if we needed anything. He was very friendly.

The music was bumping, but it wasn't too loud. Someone was celebrating a birthday, but everyone was vibing together. The food was decent, the front patio was great, and yes, the beer was ice cold.

If you're looking for a place with a more genuine crowd, friendly people, and none of the pretentious attitude you find at some Orange County bars, this place is a breath of fresh air. Hit this place up. They're awesome.“

“Good food and child friendly. Cool Halloween decorations. Our server was great. I recommend this place!“

“The pizza is really good and the staff are so nice...Can't beat the BBQ chicken pizza. 👍👍“

“Absolutely amazing food at the chef's table!! Prime rib that melts in your mouth lamb rack salmon amazing chicken, and their chef staff is fantastic as well as the service. It's a great experience especially if you're coming to see a great game or concert“

“Got to meet the one and only Bruno and let me say he makes the experience worthwhile. He has huge muscles, a big smile, and cute little ears.

The pretzel is the way to go for starters it’s HUGE. And then balance it off with a burger and you’re golden.
The TV’s are right by the booths which is so awesome haven’t seen too many places do that.

If you want to meet a gorgeous dog/owner (Bruno) and have an overall great sports bar experience by the beach this is the place!“

“I don't drink but the food menu looked awesome and with the big screens around multiple games on it looked like I could have a good time with some buddies of mine however I showed up with my son to race one time b4 heading home from visiting my dad“

“Great place for drinks bartender was awesome and super nice. Great beer selection and great music too“

“Was walking by and went in to use the restroom. Was warmly greeted by the bartender and some patrons who were obviously regulars.
I decided to have a cold one and was pleasantly surprised by the price of a beer.
I'll definitely return and will recommend the Bottoms Up Tavern to my friends.“

“This is one of the places where me and my friends feel we can let our nerd flag fly. You can truly be yourself and feel safe doing so. There is always something nerdy going on, always.

My friends are big IPA and Blonde drinkers, I’m not. So having a sour and seltzers access is always a big win for me. Staff always takes the time to find me the right drink or even throw together a cocktail.

Seeing this staff really pour their everything into this shows how much a labor of love it is. That’s why I’m always glad to patron here.“

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

“Always a good time at Campus!“
