Lounges near Irvine, CA

“Very relaxing, great atmosphere, cool place to hang out with friends after work.“

“If you stay here, ask for Stacey at the bar. Her customer service, pleasant disposition and ability to make you feel safe, celebrated and served is second to none. Best espresso martini and an original maitai to die for. You've gotta do happy hour. You've got to get to know her. Best thing about my visit. Really enjoyed this hotel and the bar!!“

“Had a most excellent Italian cappuccino with macadamia nut milk. Espresso was so smooth - just perfect. Thanks for the ❤️ you put into your shop.“

“The food was amazing! My boyfriend ordered eggs, and the waiter actually made a second batch just to make sure everything was perfect, without us even asking. That level of care really stood out.

The food was delicious, and the customer service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed passionate about his job.

I’m a tourist who decided to try this place, and I’m so glad I did. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular and come back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Great restaurant, A1 service, friendly staff, great ambiance, food and drinks“

“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!!“

“A great spot for anyone waiting for a train. The restaurant offers a full menu with a variety of drinks and beverages to choose from. Enjoy your meal on the outdoor patio overlooking the Orange Train Station while watching the trains come and go. The hamburgers are big, juicy, and reasonably priced, making them a great value. Restrooms are available for restaurant customers, adding to the overall convenience of the location.“

“It was chill, not too crowded, great music. I didnt eat anything, just came for the music.“

“Just a nice hang to sip a beer or my favorite cocktail. Friendly staff and not bad on the eyes either. New chef came in and upped their food game. I believe I heard he’s from a local brewery. I highly recommend the sticky ribs. See you at Happy Hour 😋“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely incredible establishment with the best live music in the whole city. I had an absolute blast here and will be recommending this place to everyone I see!! The service was impeccable by the way, thank you for such great hospitality BJ!!“

“Carthay Circle Lounge was our favorite restaurant during our Disneyland trip. It was so good that we ate their twice! We loved the Vietnamese lettuce wraps the bao buns, and the Sparkling Mare cocktail was delicious. We had a reservation the first time and did a walk up for the second visit.“

“We love this hotel. Great bar, good food and attentive staff. Super location close to south coast plaza!“

“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.“

“I don’t usually share very much but I do have to say it was my dad’s 93rd birthday and we wanted to take him somewhere different than the steakhouse so we took him here and it was wonderful. The food was great. We were doing a brunch and it worked out perfect we had a large party. We were served and got our food and got all the attention we needed wasn’t The usual o no big party were everything is cold and taste terrible by the time we get it everything was great. They were wonderful. I definitely recommend. Whether you want something normal or special, they have it not a huge menu but if you want food, they have something you want and maybe a dessert as well. For the 11 people in my family at one restaurant and the living complained about any effect that’s amazing. Wanna go somewhere new and unique I guess it’s been there a while, but we didn’t know about it. It’s kind of off to the side of the building. Hard to see definitely worth it.“

“A beautiful place to dine for date night or with friends. Tonight we celebrated a cherished friends bday. Cocktails weren’t excellent nothing watered down. The food was everything! Our server was cheerful & helpful. Its why we like to bring our friends…never disappointed.“

“Món ăn ngon, giá rẻ, đa dạng. có Dj và Piano ở friday, có đồ ăn chay. Phù hợp cho family,couple và tổ chức birthday, party!“

“We were doing some shopping nearby and decided to get lunch there after reviewing the menu. The restaurants follows the CDC covid-19 guidelines by limiting indoor dining, but have outdoor dining tables that allowing social distancing. We try the banh beo and the fish noodle soup. The broth was very delicious and authentic. The diluted fish sauce that came with the banh beo was very tasty. Staff service is ok. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the food. I would recommend this restaurant if you would like to try authentic Vietnmese food in the central region.“

“Absolutely the best live music venue.“

“My partner and I stopped by here as we had a reservation for the rooftop lounge later. We wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Our server, I think her name is Kristen, was very welcoming and served us almost immediately. We told her we were going to the upstairs bar in a bit and she offered to have our food packed in a to-go container. The seating was comfortable and the food was great. Definitely a nice spot to hang or pre-game before a night out.“

“Tried this diner out with my wife. We walked in and the fine gentleman let us pick out a seat. We sat, got some coffee, then ordered our meals. Very good meals. Our server was very kind and personable. Highly recommend for a nice Friday morning by the tracks🚂“

“Such a fun time tonight. Great bartender. We’ll made drinks. !“

“Great food Spectacular views“

“This is the find of the decade! Virtually hidden on a tiny street adjacent to the Coast Highway, the eclectic, artistic interior is as welcoming as the attentive and super friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor dining options, comfy furniture, a hip buzzy adjacent bar lets you know immediately you are in for a uniquely Newport Beach experience that you won’t want to leave. But all of this is nothing compared to the cuisine. The wide variety of ostensibly Middle Eastern menu items are comprehensive to meet virtually any dietary needs from vegan to Ketovore, but the competency across the board is astounding!! Lentil soup, yellow veggie curry, kabob, steak Diane - everything shines on its own merit. I planned to have one of the divine sounding desserts but alas, the portions were so generous that we had to take a rain check. Here’s hoping for a downpour!“

“I bet you really enjoyed your meal. I know you enjoyed your friends you were with and the company of your beautiful Honey. She is so special to have at your side. I Love you my Brother and miss you every day. Someday we will spend a great time again. Much love. Big Bob Peterson. There is only one.“

“This is fabulous dining by the coast.“

“Great live music venue with 2 stages“

“Had a blast with all of our old friends from back in our "Bamboo Lounge" days. Gari Ann was the perfect Karaoke host. See you all next month!!“

“Great food And service ! Love ❤️“

“Recomiendo esta página super kool , Bendiciones 🙏“

“Great atmosphere, great service and excellent food. The 38oz Porterhouse 🥩was delicious and split between 4 people We will definitely be back.“

“Okay, OC, buckle up — if bars could slide into your DMs, blow you a kiss, and then mix you a drink that makes your knees weak, Kitsch Bar in Costa Mesa would be the smooth operator doing exactly that.
I sashayed in thinking “just one drink” and left feeling like the entire lounge had been personally trying to court me all night. That brand-new walk-around bar? It’s straight-up seductive architecture — you literally circle the flirtation while the low red lights kiss everything in sight, the plush booths give you a warm hug, and the disco ball throws sparkly little winks like it’s in on the game. TVs for the sports, weekend entertainment that keeps the vibe bouncing (karaoke nights, house beats, throwback hip-hop), and a whole atmosphere that screams “stay a while… or forever, we’re not picky.”
Major shoutout to the absolute rockstar behind the bar (didn’t catch your name, gorgeous, but if you’re the one pouring with that effortless charm and trouble-making smile, this review is blowing you a kiss). This legend built my cocktail like it was a flirty love note — perfectly balanced, dangerously delicious, and just spicy enough to keep the conversation interesting. Happy hour 6-8pm with $6 wells and $5 beers? I felt like I was being spoiled rotten on a first-date budget. Service was white-glove quick, zero attitude, all playful banter that had me giggling into my glass and ordering round two before I could even pretend to play hard to get.
In a world of boring lounges that ghost you after the first sip, Kitsch Bar is serving full rom-com main-character energy with a wink, a stir, and pours that flirt right back. No pretentious nonsense, just pure, delicious mischief wrapped in velvet vibes and good times until 2am.
10/10. I’m already counting down to my next rendezvous — probably tonight. Bring your best flirty energy, your favorite smirk, and zero plans after midnight. This spot doesn’t just reciprocate… it escalates. 😏🍸
(Pro tip: Slide in during happy hour, grab a stool at that magical walk-around bar, and let the night do its thing. You’re welcome in advance.)“

“Dear Citrus Grill,

Thank you for hosting the wonderful weekly Taco Tuesdays with live music in our neighborhood! A very special thank you to Sarah, the supervisor, and Shaun, the waiter, for being so gracious and accommodating and for truly going the extra mile. Wow — you made my day extra special!! 🤩“

“Enjoyed a side of breakfast sausages and bacon. Sausages were a good size and had a little spice/pepper... Just the right amount. Bacon was crispy & nice and salty.Ordered both at the aMuse restaurant inside the Marriott, but cost wise it's better to pay for the buffet (which is in a separate room). The only downside for the buffet is the sausage/bacon/ham rotates each day.Nice service, clean and bright space.“

“The room is very spacious and the food is very good. This restaurant is in a plaza so there is a lot of parking for cars. The waiter is very fun and lively to talk to. The interesting part about this restaurant is that there is a karaoke stage for those who wants to sing in front of the restaurant so definitely recommend to bring friends along for karaoke dinner party. 10/10 would come back here again“

“My wife and I dined here this past February and it was astonishingly elegant. The moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by very professional employees of the club who offered sparkling water and hand towels while our table was prepared. Once ready, we were escorted upstairs to our table in the dining area. All four courses were some of the best dishes I have ever had and every waiter/waitress that served us that night were superbly professional. We were allowed to purchase some club 33 merchandise before departing for the evening. Absolutely phenomenal experience and if I ever get the opportunity to go back, I will in a heartbeat.“

“Bday! Great place and brought me a cupcake with candle!!!“

“Good Lunch and Friendly Service Inside the Anaheim Marriott

This afternoon I had lunch at nFuse Restaurant, Bar & Lounge inside the Anaheim Marriott while I was in town for the 2026 ASSP Convention + Expo. Since the hotel and convention area were busy, I got there before noon hoping to beat the crowd. That turned out to be a good move.

I decided to sit at the bar, and the staff made a good first impression right away. The bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and quick to get me settled. Since it was still early in the day, I played it safe with an iced tea, which arrived within minutes, along with the menu.

I ordered the Roasted Turkey Club with onion rings. As shown in my photo, the plate came out looking solid, with a good-sized sandwich, plenty of turkey, onion rings, sauces, and a pickle on the side. The food came out shortly after I ordered, which I appreciated because I was hungry and had convention plans to get back to.

The meal hit the spot. The sandwich was filling, the onion rings were good, and the portion was so large I couldn't finish it all, even though I came in starving.

Overall, this was a good lunch with friendly service and convenient access if staying at or visiting the Anaheim Marriott. I will most likely stop in again while I am here for the ASSP convention. 4/5 stars.“

“Great place for enjoying 👍“
