17 Best Cocktail Bars in Laguna Beach

“An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The steaks were absolutely top-tier ~juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The service was impeccable, making the evening feel elegant and effortless. One of the best steakhouses in California! 🤪👌🏼🍷“

“My wife's and I favorite spot in all Laguna, we've been to all the bars, taverns n this saloon by far is THEE BEST...every year we make it a must stop spot.....I'm a photographer at heart and this classic saloon is AWSOME, the coziness, ceiling n decor, flooring, masonry and the patina bar. Nothing else comes close.“

“excellent food atmophere and service!“

“We stumbled upon this hidden gem in Laguna on our last day there. Can’t believe we missed it! After visiting Finneys in Santa Barbara, we were expecting a lot, but this place totally exceeded our expectations. It’s right off the beach, with an incredible selection of beers. The service and food were also top-notch. If you’re looking for a great spot to grab a bite or a drink, definitely check them out!“

“We knew the view would be the main star, but the quality of food, as well as the service, was truly outstanding! We could not decide on which of the twelve appetizers to get do we got them all! The four of us shared the 12 appetizers (plus two desserts) and treated our evening like a tasting menu. The chef and server enjoyed it as much as we did. Some of the highlights included the octopus with white bean hummus, lobster bisque, the Harvison cheesecake, and the corn and crab risotto! The desserts were very special as well! See pictures! When the breeze hit a little cool but we didn't want to close the view of the ocean, the staff brought us blankets for our laps; a very nice touch! We chose a Bordeaux wine to accompany our dinner which was a 2015 La Grave which was an exceptional wine with great value as well. A lovely evening.“

“Love this restaurant. Always excellent service and great food. However, yesterday I ordered the new eggplant sandwich and was very disappointed. It was really soggy, too much sauce. The sauce should be served on the side or minimal sauce should be placed on the sandwich. I have never ordered something I didn't love, until yesterday.“

“Wifey suggested we make it to the Sawdust Festival so while in town we decided to get some dinner. Located near all the hot spots Tango offered convenience with outdoor dinning. First off Niko was our server. Very nice gentleman who was very attentive and informative. Made us feel like we tourist in his homeland of Argentina. Now the food. My expresso Negroni well that was a let down. Not for me. Wifey had a sangria albeit that it’s called something else. Tapas were good. Highly recommended the asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. The steak skewer definitely. The issue and only issue I had was the traffic and the smell of fumes. Not much can be done about that maybe next time we will sear indoors.“

“The Pantry is a cozy coffee shop offering a great selection of coffee, teas, and light bites. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Friendly service and quality drinks make it a local favorite.“

“We live right up the canyon and had never visited. Highly recommend!! Great food, reasonable prices, our waitress, Cassidy was so great! She was efficient with everything and just had the nicest personality. We will be back!!!“

“Stumbled upon 237 in #LagunaBeach after a serendipitous encounter with the owner, who recommended her newly opened restaurant.

What a find! I just had the best burger of my life! . This place, formerly known as Breeze & Brew, is a culinary gem. If you're in the #California area this #LaborDayWeekend, make sure to experience their incredible food. Highly recommended for any food enthusiast!"

Burger 10/10 would recommend! ❤️

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for any food issues.“

“I have been going to this hotel since the 1980s. It’s the best. My husband and I spent three new years eves there. We usually stay a week. Love it. I’ll be so happy when the rooms are available again. I can hardly wait. Love everything about it. The food is delicious. The patio is very enjoyable. And just a few steps to the beach. Love it. Thank you. I’m. Beverly. Anderson.“

“Great food! Great vibe! Great time!“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“Great place to dive n drink“

“Great food in a great location. Would definitely go back.“

“Very long wait times. Terrible customer service and overall, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The waiter messed up our order and argued with my wife about how he did not mess up the order and continued to argue with my wife, which further upset me and my parents. I asked the waiter to leave and requested to speak with the manager. I had explained everything to the manager and told the manager that because the food came out wrong and the waiter argued with my wife, that it was time to go because the waiter ruined our meal and our experience. After paying for 3 meals that we did not eat, the restaurant manager was extremely rude, told us to leave, and to never come back. We left very angry and upset. This restaurant ruined our entire afternoon. I do not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible customer service. If you make a mistake, own it, and make it right. Not the case here, they just want your money and send you on your way as fast as possible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience there are far better options than this place.“

“Great spot! View and food were great!!“
