Benjamin was an awesome server. So friendly and welcoming. The drinks were delicious and we loved our tacos. We were given a free dessert for our anniversary, which was awesome. I loved the “Dixie” theme. Decor was spot on. The only reason I gave ambience 4 stars was because the music didn't always fit the theme. Every now and then you'd hear OutKast or more pop rock. Overall great concept and something unique for the Hotel. Stay.

Best highball I have ever had in my life. Smoked old fashioned is not overhyped at all. Great place - will be back.

YNK is an experience! Great vibe, great service and delicious one of a kind cocktails. Ben is a fantastic mixologist. We love it here! You Never Know...it could be your favorite place too.

Very cool speakeasy inside the Irvine Marriott. Small, intimate, cocktails were very well made! Fun spot for a nightcap but need reservations. Thankful they validate for parking!

The experience was one for the books. Not only were the drinks amazing & the theme, but the ambience and energy of the mixologist was phenomenal. We were able to get a same day reservation and it was the greatest ending to our night. Definitely will return.

Great service and the ambiance was perfect. We had their cold chocolate which was a popular drink that night and it was spot on. We also had a smoked old fashioned which was really good. Overall this is an excellent choice for a date night.

A surprising great place inside the lobby of the Irvine Marriott. A little hard to find since it's behind the restaurant

Follow me to this speakeasy bar. Such a cool vibe!
I had a fantastic experience at the YNK bar. From the moment I walked in, there was incredibly welcoming upon entry. Benjamin was attentive, making sure everyone at the bar felt taken care of. Their drinks were spot-on, showing a deep knowledge of mixology and the menu. Each drink was crafted with precision and creativity.

This was a fantastic little speakeasy vibe/private space in the Marriott. The bartender we had was amazing, so talented, attentive, and kind. The drinks were some of the best craft cocktails we have had in Orange County. The presentation was top notch. All you locals out there in Irvine and surrounding cities, this is a must visit.

We love coming here and experiencing the different themes. Such a great ambience for a small group to enjoy drinks and food!

Such a hidden little bar in the busy Irvine Marriott. You must have a reservation since there are only maybe 20 seats. The large video screens show travel adventures which are interesting but makes this small bar very bright. Not really a speakeasy vibe. Service is great & the drinks are visually very pleasing & fun. The Smokey Old Fashioned is a real show.
