Most memorable was when my best friend's picked me up after a 3 week vacation and brought me here.
Katie welcomed us with a huge smile. She was professional, customer oriented and genuinely caring and friendly. Thank you!!“

“Good drinks. And pool tables. And good atmosphere“

“Heroes, especially this one in particular, might just be my favorite restaurant! I've been going here for a span of 20 year's & I've never had a bad meal! The go to right off the bat for me & my family of course are the the nachos insider hack add chicken, but that's just the beginning. Do yourself a favor & pull up. You won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing food and amazing service.“

“I’ve been going to Brian’s sports bar since my college days at Cal State Fullerton from 1979 through 1984. Great place to have food, share laughs. and have an ice cold beer.“

“Food is low key amazing. I had no idea. They serve late as well. The bartenders are on it. The food though...the food is exceptional. It's better than high end restaurants at a cost that seems like a steal. Come and enjoy the drinks with beautiful bartenders but leave with their food.“

“Nice little joint will be coming back“

“love this spot ! Music, food ,& the service is awesome 👌 Will be back !“

“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.“

“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. 🐶🍻“

“Was in the area with my mom to get her a car. We had an hour to kill so we came here for lunch! Everything was amazing! It was fresh fast and the staff was very friendly and helpful! I would recommend to anyone that's a poke fan! This was for sure a hit!“

“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.“

“Great spot on base that’s absolutely worth the visit. Getting in is straightforward. Just show your ID at the guard gate and you’re good to go.

Once inside, the vibe at Fiddler’s Green Pub is laid back, friendly, and surprisingly lively for a military base pub. Prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks, which makes it an easy choice whether you’re grabbing a casual lunch or winding down after a long day.

The standout for me was the onion rings: crispy, golden, and seriously addictive. Easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Overall, a fun, welcoming place with good food, good prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming back.“

“NOLZA is hands down one of the best Korean pocha spots in Orange County!

The outdoor patio has such an amazing atmosphere, and the huge projector screen makes it the perfect place to watch sports, live events, or just hang out with friends. It really feels like you’re at a Korean street pub.

The food was delicious, every dish we ordered was full of flavor and paired perfectly with soju and beer. The service was just as impressive—everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean pocha vibes, great food, excellent service, and a fun place to spend the evening, this is definitely the place to go. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“My friend and I really enjoyed going to clubhouse. The atmosphere is awesome and the bands that play are terrific.“

“I have been going to Griffiths for quite a while to watch the games. Enjoy company there foods excellent service is excellent. No complaints about that place. I love it.“

“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!“

“Always a good time at the swig!“

“I absolutely love this place. It has excellent food. We have never had an issue with my orders. The owners and their staff are like family. We’re always greeted with a smile and a hug. Kid friendly. I love the live bands on Friday and Saturday nights. And my husband enjoys watching his favorite Teams there on Sunday.“

“The newish bartender Amanda is great! I hadn't been to the bench in a while and I found the food offerings to be really good. Sometimes the salsa could use more heat(you have to ask for the non gringo version) but otherwise great all around. I will keep coming back for Amanda for sure. World cup games on almost every screen is great too“

“Biggest Bucs bar in California !“

“I love Hurricanes. The best food and atmosphere“

“Been to many many a bar in my lifetime. Scratch's is definitely top 3 for me. Huge brew selection, fair prices, great food, very comfortable atmosphere and it seems to be a magnet for very attractive women. Love the dart league

Parking: There are good number of spots in front of the location and then there is a huge shared parking lot with home Depot and del Taco that isn't being used by the other businesses later in the night and is never full in the day anyway.“

“The loaded baked potato was AWESOME now they need to bring back the broccoli and cheddar cheese baked potato.“

“muy buen servicio celeste es muy buena bartender“

“Perfect place to hang and catch up“

“Great food my new favorite place...“

“I've been there 2 times thus week,, sooo much fun great food & drinks, Pete introduced himself to us as well. we'll be back!!“

“Food was absolutely delicious“

“We were very pleased with our dinner at Spoons in Santa Ana. The food was great; very flavorful, and generously portioned. Sometimes I think some of the best foods come from bars & grills. The tequila pasta was the standout amongst the other dishes; chicken philly & enchiladas. Our waiter took very good care of us and the reasonable prices were a bonus.“

“Great live music, wonderful bartenders, low key atmosphere!!!“

“Great Ribeye! Slightly crispy on the outside and juicy throughout. Also had their homemade Apple Cider Sorbet which was so delicious!We sat in the booths so it was a very classy, cozy atmosphere. Great for taking the parents or in-laws out for a special occasion or just for a nice piece of steak.“

“Nice atmosphere and good service, friendly staff and great food. The drinks are also great“

“LOVE the GOAT‼️♥️ 1st place I headed on my last day to begin my RETIREMENT‼️ Life is good‼️😃“

“The place is a small bar, two pool tables, a small dance floor, but the vibe is poppn'.. 5 of us went and we had a blast, we got lucky it was someone birthday and there was live music (banda). The food was great, which caught me by surprise ? ? ?. We loved it so much that we had two orders of the same. The girls at the bar and waitress are friendly. If I'm in the area, I would pop in.“

“This is a great place to golf and practice and putting. The employees are special and go out of their way to make your experience special. The owners are hands on. Just ah great place to be. And the ladies in the restaurant are awful pretty and make great food. The one name connie is a treasure.??“

“We stayed at the Hilton in Costa Mesa and had coupons for complimentary Continental breakfast 2 mornings. The first morning we upgraded to hot buffet breakfast that included scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, oatmeal. The eggs were powered, the sausage tasted like cardboard and bacon was so-so. The oatmeal was homemade and was good! This breakfast cost $18.00 + tax. The second morning we ordered off the menu and was better choices getting fresh cooked food. My wife had omelet with hash browns and toast and I had eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and tomato slice and coffee. We both enjoyed these menu options!“

“honestly i was expecting a basic golf course bar with nothing but bud light and old peanuts but it actually has a solid craft beer selection including a couple local ipas i hadnt tried before. grabbed a burger and it was cooked perfectly with fresh toppings even though it took a little longer than i hoped to come out. the view from the patio looks right over the course so it a nice spot to just hang out and the servers were super friendly even when it got busy. my only small thing is the parking lot is kind of a mess especially on weekend afternoons with people dodging golfers. definitely will be back for the beer list alone even if im not playing that day.“

“Good times guaranteed. Good drinks.“

“Walking distance to the house!“

“If you want a nice diner and great talk, definately come here, enough space, quite ambient to actually listen your partner to have a nice chat, and also ask for Carmen at the bar, her drinks are the best, 100% worthy, ask for her signature cocktails and thank me later ???

Parking: Sincé the bar is inside the hotel, you can Park at the front or at the parking lot next to the hotel, is like 2 min walk to the bar.

Kid-friendliness: Definately suitable for Kids, nice and clean place, awesome Job DoubleTree ??“

“My son and I dined here for breakfast. We both had the American breakfast, eggs, bacon and toast. The eggs were good, mine over easy and my son liked his scrambled. The toast was good as were the potatoes. The OJ was also good. We enjoyed it so much we both had the same breakfast the second day.“

“I love this place everyone there makes you feel welcomed. The bartenders are amazing great service. If your looking to try out some new dranks definitely hit up Justine, her and juan (old bartender thats use to work there)got me hooked on that "Irish breakfast" shot definitely a must try if you wanna try out new dranks. Howard is a great karaoke dj fun and funny and treats everyone like family he makes it alot of fun. Security is friendly and hilarious. Over all great place and fun to go to.“

“Awesome pub on campus. Great bar food such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, nachos etc.. great kombucha beer options on tap as well as ciders.. also huge beer selection as well.
Great place to get together with friends or have some food and study. Bartenders are really nice.“
