36 Best Dive Bars near Huntington Beach

“A MUST go. As a veteran and parent to an active service member who was in the area during military training this place is a must go for all veterans or military members. The pizza is out of this world and probably top two of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The atmosphere is great and Johnny is a class act guy.“

“Reviewed this place on yelp as well! I come here almost every night and adore it. Truly feels like a second home (with a lot more booze- lol) If you get to meet the bartender Kat you’re in for the best time. I’ve adored her since the minute she started there. I haven’t seen her as much lately- hope that changes. Other than that, this place is truly the best local bar in Orange County.“

“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.“

“Best bartenders! Tiki vibes, great happy hours with well drinks @ $5.50, domestic beer $5.00 & imports $6.00 M-F 12-6pm! Pool tables, TouchTunes & outdoor patio!“

“Been a nice place for many years to sit have a beer, catch a game or sip some wine with a date. My favorite is shooting the breeze or some pool. Serving staff always cordial and with a smile. Pretty decent selection of Taps, bottle and canned beers. Lots of Big Screens to boot“

“This is a quiet, tucked-away bar with plenty of space inside. It features pool tables, pinball machines, and soon will have Phoenix online dart boards where you can compete with players from around the world or from the bar next door. Dart leagues are starting soon, so ask the bartender for more information and to sign up. There’s also a TouchTunes jukebox for your music needs.“

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

“It was really relaxing. First time at a bar, could see myself coming back here once in a while just to take a minute. Just to enjoy the atmosphere. Still smiling ear to ear at home thinking back on the experience, especially when I heard a Bruno Mars song start playing. Glad they had non alcoholic drinks. Thanks to the staff for friendly customer service. Made coming to the bar not as scary as I thought it'd be. There were so many little tags on the wall that were hilarious. Seeing the pictures and descriptions next to the entrance gave losts of nostolgia vibes. It was nice seeing the history of the bar and all the smiles it brings. Anyways thank you to the owners and staff.“

“This bar is great! The bartender that worked last night was the best bartender I’ve ever seen… he was so attentive, handsome, knowledgeable, charismatic, and handsome…. I’ve been coming here for years, love the staff, the vibes, and the liquor selection, but the tender of bar that worked last night took it to another level.“

“If you're in Newport Beach, treat yourself to Cassidy's. It's been a staple since the 1970's and is a locals favorite. Great place to chill, enjoy a cold brew and watch a game. Don't be deceived, but this spot offers some of the best food offerings in town. It definitely has one of the best burgers in town. All food items are delicious and pair well with beverages. If you like an awesome relaxed atmosphere, great customer service and delicious cuisine, this is your spot. Stop by, grab a seat and enjoy. Bon Appe'tit and cheers, I'll definitely see you there.“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Great little place it's kind of small though wish it had a bigger dance floor, and they need to serve food other than that great bartenders great drinks great prices in the heart of Naples near Belmont shore I like to go here after I go to the beach in the summer. Great jukebox and you can hear people talk in there.“

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

“Invited my friend for her Bday treat and was not disappointed 🤩 steak was melting in my mouth and my friend said that fillet mignon was super tender !! potatoes and veggies simply delicious 😋 very good service and atmosphere 🥰 highly recommended 5⭐️👌“

“Newport Beach in my opinion is one of the best beaches for young families. The beach itself is flat, easy to walk on, and continues out into the water. Small waves that run along the beach make it easy and confidence-building for the little ones. Very clean, bathrooms are close, and lifeguards are present and very active. Parking is the only factor that might take a bit. You have to cruise the parking lot to find someone pulling out.“

“We called in today early to try catch the football from the minute we sat down we was made to feel so welcome and that was both from biff behind the bar to all the locals that came in 😁 thank you for making our last morning in California so good Sean & Jo“

“Great selection of pool-side food and drinks. The hours are a little limited 12pm - 6pm. Side of French Fries were absolutely fantastic and cost $10. Had a virgin strawberry daiquiri which was from a mix but still was descent. The chips and guacamole plate looked really good. Great way to relax at the Westin poolside and treat yourself to good food.“

“I don’t know if they serve food, don’t really care because it’s a bar so they have all the things I’m looking for. The bartenders are really nice, it’s a great crowd of people that u can feel at ease with and the drinks are delicious. I like the location because it’s by all business that close early so there’s plenty of parking at night. There’s a Mexican food taco stand on the corner if u get hungry. They have a clean and well lit outside area for smokers. I thought it was a great bar in Long Beach“

“I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. My daughter’s volleyball club practices down the street and I stop in for a beer or 3 on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights.

The bartenders are super chill and they have one of my favorite beers on tap.

Always great tunes on the TouchTunes and plenty of TVs to watch sports.

Definitely my spot while I’m up there and hoping my kid plays on the same team next year so I can keep going!“

“It’s okay ! 😎😎😎 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧐🧐🧐🧐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I've been going to Mother's for years. This Tavern is small but cozy. It's a bikers bar but everyone there are really Chill and Cool. The drinks are good and reasonably inexpensive. They don't serve food but that's ok. Visit if you want a change of pace and people there are really cool.“

“If you are into dive bars, this is a good one. It's actually really chill inside and the patrons that come here are just looking to have a good time and maybe chat with some cool bikini bartenders.
We usually stop in after a game for some pool and drinks and have always had great service and not too long of a wait for a game of pool. Drinks are average to good prices and the girls are quick with the service.
Solid 5 stars for the atmosphere and service.“

“Love the atmosphere, everyone that walks in just wants to have a drink, a good time and make friends... Best little dive bar in Costa Mesa and Penny is the coolest bar tender :-)“

“Love to play pool at this spot. Glad to be back and by the sea, this crowd is an excellent crowd to be around and this place flocks in some very interesting people.??The pool tournaments are organized and the drinks are to die for. Mixed to perfection and not to mention are well worth the money. The food is worth the money as well. Compliments to the chef! ?I had a really great time for the hour I was there, and unfortunately had to leave because of work in the morning. ?“

“I have only great memories of the Beach Ball in the early 1980's when Phil Johnson was owner or manager. Beach Ball always had a live band on Sunday afternoons. Great drinks great people great memories and times“

“Great new management! Good priced stiff drinks and great service!!! I’ll be there once I find more days off!!! Thank you George for turning this place around and all your hard work!!“

“Bartenders are cute and very friendly. Drinks are good. Jukebox is fun but sometimes your songs won’t play because a dj takes over and you don’t get your money back. They keep it pretty cold in there. I’m surprised more people don’t go there. They have pool tables too“
