22 Best Bar & Grill near Laguna Beach

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“This is my favorite place on earth! My second time visiting & it’s just as amazing as the first time only better! I look forward to revisiting for our 10th anniversary in about 3 years. The entire environment makes me feel complete 💝 See you soon!“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Never fails!“

“My best friend and I had lunch there today. The food was excellent, my dirty martini was perfect (and much needed!), and our server, Jacob, was fabulous. We made a pact that we will meet there at least once a month. Thank you for a great afternoon! 🍸“

“WE had a 70th birthday brunch with 6 of us and it was a lovely luncheon. The weed-wacker made it hard to hear for a while, but the ambiance and beautiful views made it worthwhile. The service was a bit slow but the food was delish and everyone found something different to try. We were seated right upon arrival and I think we all decided we'd go back again with our families!“

“I’ve never had a bad meal at the Craft House. Every single thing I’ve ordered was delicious. Kate & Nate are the very best and make dining there so fun!!! I could eat there every day!!!!“

“We visited on a Sunday night and this was the most fun we had on our vacation. The karaoke atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming— as an introvert I felt like I was at home with my besties. This is the greatest place in the Irvine area — if I could give 10 stars out of 5, I would!“

“The most notable featurr of this bar (with good food & apps) is the bartenders also work the floor as servers and they are all pretty. But their efficiency and professionalism is equal to their looks, so the women customers, accept them. I know that last sentence was terrible, but it's true and I'm too tired to re-word it.“

“Awesome place! Great food and drinks and a nice atmosphere. Watching my 49ers game. 🏈“

“Love it for the great live music on Saturday nights. So Underrated for a great place to hear live bands!! Nice, friendly people“

“Five years, my husband and 6 of his dedicated friends have done this yacht show pilgrimage, and every single time they hit Newport Beach we ask: where would you eat. Not the polished nonsense, just real food. They all get this look–like they’re letting us in on classified intel–and say skip Lido, skip Fashion Island, go to Cassidy’s. We laughed; the joint looks like the garage next to where I get my tires rotated. Wood walls, sticky floors, beer signs flickering. But Brian puts down a burger on that open flame and suddenly everyone’s quiet. It’s not hype: it’s seared geometry, it’s salt and beef speaking French without trying, it’s the kind of center that flirts with you. Our friends–the ones whose belts sit under their nipples–suddenly slumped into chairs like humans again. He didn’t just feed us, he defused tension with a spatula. Michelin stars could orbit this thing. We’ll be back. Brian, thank you.“

“FANTASTIC STAFF…they truly are Neighbors 🥂“

“Hosted an event here for ~150 attendees on a Monday night (11/3).

Planning and communication was excellent with Rina Mitchell and they were generous and accommodating to our requests.

We requested the venue stay decorated for Halloween, which they were able to do, and there was plenty of seating and space both indoors and outdoors for our guests. The heat lamps were also great on the patio!

We ordered food through their restaurant service and everything was delicious. Pizza, fries, sliders, skewers, and vegan egg rolls were great.

Service by the staff on the night of the event was excellent thanks to the bartenders, Kyle and Evan, and our servers, Rina and Danielle.“

“Came here to watch the USC Notre Dame game. Fun atmosphere. Dog friendly. Busy but not obnoxiously crowded. Service was fantastic. You order at the table and they bring it to you. We just kept ordering. They just kept bringing the food and drinks. I thought the drinks were really good but the chicago style pizza was just meh. It was made in a deep dish pan but the bottom crust wasn't thick at all. It was also very salty. My DIL burger and fries were very good. I'd definitely go again but I'd try a different dish or pizza. I was super impressed with the service!“

“Been coming to Rush for years! I love it here and it feels like family. The wings are amazing and I’ve brought my son in here a couple times for lunch and he loved it. The karaoke on Tuesdays and Wednesday is awesome 😎“

“Good place to go to eat, even if you are not a golfer.
First visit, we sat inside, but there is a large outdoor dining area.
I had the Western BBQ Bacon Burger. It was good, plenty of bacon and tasty BBQ sauce. We also had the Butter Toffee Cake for dessert, very good.
Table service was a little lacking, but wouldn’t keep me from a second visit.
Prices are reasonable.
Recommended.“

“Nice place, clean and friendly staff. Most importantly, the food is so awesome. The owner takes pride with his food! Not only the plating looks nice, but it’s so tasty. I don’t even understand those 1 star reviews. Will definitely come back for more!“

“First time there , great experience. Food was excellent, met the expectations. My husband had a steak and it was delicious. I enjoyed ropa vieja and it had a juicy and light citrusy flavor. Overall great. The waitress had great recommendations. The ambiance was slightly dim but it added to the atmosphere“

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

“Well Julie & I Love Dance Together At Bigshots Billiards. My Favorite Food Is A Cheese Pizza & Julie Loves Salad.“

“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!“

“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.“
