11 Best Dive Bars near Laguna Beach

“Hi I love it miss this place so much good dancing“

“This place is an absolute gem in Costa Mesa. I stopped in for a drink and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a local spot. It is vibrant, laid back, and full of character.

I really enjoyed the setup. The walls are covered in so many unique stickers that you could spend an hour just looking at them. It makes for such a cool, personal vibe while you enjoy your beer.

Everything was perfect for a relaxing night out. Whether you are grabbing a pint or just hanging out at the bar, it is a great time. I will definitely be back.“

“Great place to dance. Lots of energy. Older crowd a bit (like 50s up) but some younger as well. Eveeyone was moving to Monkey Puddle who were superb. Great dance floor with fans (I think one vent for AC directly above middle of the dance fair might be not working well, but there are others available as well as a casual outside area to sit and drink and get fresh air). Copious amounts of free ice water was much appreciated. Cheap well drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place to play and party.“

“Annie is an incredible lady who makes you feel like family from the moment you walk/roll in. Thank you for being amazing, Ann!“

“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 :-)“
