12 Best Sports Bars in Newport Beach

“I’ve been coming to The Place since right out of college and it is the best. If there were six stars, I would give that rating. Wonderful owner and staff, really fun place to watch a game and excellent food and drinks. If you like a good patty melt, theirs is by far the best around. Doug“

“only there for 2 beers. service at bar was great. Not sure why...but you use the Touch tunes and it is at a lower volume than the house music playing.“

“Chihuahua Cerveza is a total hidden gem in Costa Mesa. The vibe is laid-back, the service is great, and the food absolutely delivers. Their quesadilla is hands down the best around — perfectly grilled, cheesy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and it’s the kind of dish you think about long after you leave.

The drinks are crisp and refreshing, and it’s a perfect spot to hang with friends, grab a beer, and enjoy good food in a fun atmosphere. Every visit feels easy and enjoyable.

If you are anywhere near Costa Mesa, do yourself a favor and get the quesadilla at Chihuahua Cerveza. It is unbeatable.“

“Yesterday, I had a meal with friends at Cabo Cantina in Newport Beach and it was such a great experience! The vibe is awesome with colorful Mexican decor that instantly puts you in a good mood. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food was good and the portions… massive! Definitely recommend it if you're in the area!“

“Very good drinks and smiling waiters“

“Me and my hubby been docking boats or ferry-hopping our bikes to Balboa saloon since the seventies. Half the year we live in Newport, half Montana-where whiskey still hollers your name out there. This here's our bar, our heartbeat. Fourth we light it up, holidays on lock, pool tables bruised from our elbows, salt and lager thick as perfume. Ensenada-Newport race? Honey, we command this place like pirates. The Owner finally did somethin' right-floor don't grab my flip-flops, somebody's moppin'! Jeff's still king behind the bar, new gals laugh real, pour cold, TVs sharp as knives. Only hitch-get Cruisers to wing it over so we quit dodgin' Death Trap Balboa Boulevard. Five stars, fat tip, and girl-we're bringin' every neighbor, every sunburned neighbor's dog, every salty soul we love down here to share the buzz we just crashed into.“

“Excellent service, tasty food and good price“

“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!“

“Strong drinks, good tunes“
