“We actually ended up at Salty Dawg Tavern by mistake because of a mix-up with our plans, but what a happy accident! This place is a total gem that we never would have discovered otherwise.
The food was great, the waitresses were super nice and friendly, and the overall vibe in the tavern was so much fun. It felt like the perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable time.
Highly recommend stopping in — even if you find it by accident like we did! We'll definitely be back on purpose next time. 🐶🍻“

“If you are into dive bars, this is a good one. It's actually really chill inside and the patrons that come here are just looking to have a good time and maybe chat with some cool bikini bartenders.
We usually stop in after a game for some pool and drinks and have always had great service and not too long of a wait for a game of pool. Drinks are average to good prices and the girls are quick with the service.
Solid 5 stars for the atmosphere and service.“

Truly feels like a second home (with a lot more booze- lol) If you get to meet the bartender Kat you’re in for the best time. I’ve adored her since the minute she started there. I haven’t seen her as much lately- hope that changes. Other than that, this place is truly the best local bar in Orange County.“

“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.“

“really appreciate the staff here, especially the bartenders Taylor, Kaylee, Chris, and Tammy, as well as the doormen Daffer and Leon. They’ve always been friendly, professional, and helped create a welcoming atmosphere.

The environment can vary depending on the night and the crowd, but overall it’s a great place to relax, play some pool, and hang out with friends. The pool tables are well-maintained and reasonably priced, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to chill and shoot some pool, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

Had a virgin strawberry daiquiri which was from a mix but still was descent. The chips and guacamole plate looked really good. Great way to relax at the Westin poolside and treat yourself to good food.“

“Showed up with my boy who was visiting from out of town. Never been to a lounge or bar in Santa Ana before. This is definitely the neighborhood spot, but they made me and my friend feel like regulars.

Claudia hooked it up with the libations. She made it happen. I mean you won’t get Clase Azul here but you’ll get first class food and service.

I had no idea the food was going to be on point as it was and it surprised me. You expect bar food, but this food is on another level. Fresh made tortilla chips served hot with mouth watering and juicy tacos. I had the asada and al pastor. Served hot and fresh.

Claudia and the chef Josh made it real nice for the experience. I highly recommend if you’re in Santa Ana. It’s dark in there so when we came out the doors at 5p you definitely need sun shades or time to adjust.

It’s a perfect vibe in there. Lookout for the baby giraffe!“

Ruby's Sports Bar Bar • $
2822 W Ball Rd, Anaheim - 7.88 miles

“While I will get personal in this review to a degree, I will also be completely honest. The people you meet at ruby's are a mixed bunch between wonderful and terrible. Though that speaks of the patrons. Among which I have met what might as well be a brother to me, an only child naturally. A father to me, someone raised by a single mother. As well as plenty of friends who care... but also those who'd just take advantage, the good people far outweighed the bad. The ownership is up in the air right now due to a divorce where either potential option has their perks and I'll remain neutral despite saying that the husband's choice in manager needs to learn humility and how to speak to people, an issue many young managers face and must learn in the field when first given a leadership position. As well as the wife's choice could stand to learn when to say no. Regardless though during their personal issue, the staff remains strong and solid. Bartenders who genuinely care enough to personally make sure customers get home safe and sound, as well as give a chance to noble souls amongst the downtrodden, and I speak as someone in love with one and living with one as well.. when alone and broken before, and it was more than one of them, nearly all of them who put in an effort towards helping me through multiple deaths in the family as well as my partner of 10 years leaving me. They are trusting, sometimes too much for their own good, and there is a reason I make the drive from lake Elsinore to anaheim more often than not, and rarely their westminster location still despite the options in between. I have faith in ruby's, it's regulars, and it's staff... no matter who leads it between Cherie and Mike, I know so long as it maintains its spirit, it can and will survive and do well. And I say this as someone with their popularity in reviews based mostly in negative truths. Ruby's sports bar is one of few establishments I place faith and trust in. And if anyone who reads this finds me there, let me know and we'll take a shot on me to Ruby's and the hope and memories it creates!“
