50 Best Cocktail Bars near Placentia

“Bartender Jonny was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Affordable drinks. Plenty of TVs. 3 pool tables. 1 juke box. Plenty of interesting characters. Give it a shot.“

“Had a great time, but they lack seating and prices are not on the menu so be careful. Ended the night with a hefty bill for a party of 6, not to mention the $15 cover charge for each person. Made for an expensive but fun night! I would have included the amount but they already deleted it from another post.“

“Shout out to Baran Mediterranean restaurant. We had a superbowl/ 50th birthday party yesterday and everything was literally perfect. Food/staff/ decorations/ cake, everything was perfect. There's nothing I would change or do differently. We had a party of 80 and everyone has been texting today saying how good the food was. Go try them out, you won't regret it. Owners are pretty amazing too, super friendly and down to earth. Thank you Baran!!!!❤️“

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“Finally got a chance to try this spot. I remember when this used to be another restaurant called the pint house. Unfortunately I never got a chance to go to that spot, but I'm very glad I got a chance to try this place. First and foremost, they do not share a kitchen with the Prime Cut restaurant, they are completely different. I found a special event online that this restaurant was hosting an Oktoberfest beer experience all weekend long. Parking is ample, and exterior and interior are very clean. Staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. Their food and drink menus are great. Restrooms are very clean. Very happy I got to visit this spot and definitely going back soon.“

“Today was the first time for me to go because Im learning how to play pooltable and they have one it was great time and the atmosphere is great people are very nice and I played with so many people with different strategy . I love it . The karaoke 🎤 was amazing with the talented people 😍 I really love it , and I can't wait to go back again.“

“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.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“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!“

“My wife and I are big fans of Thai cuisine, and last night we decided to try Signature Thai Bistro. We were intrigued because it occupies the same space as Supatra's, a spot we used to frequent years ago before the change in ownership. We called ahead to make a reservation and were seated promptly within a minute of our arrival. My wife follows a gluten-free vegan diet, and Thai food has always been a reliable choice for her. She called in advance to ensure options were available, and the staff was accommodating. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure the kitchen was informed about my wife's dietary needs, making the experience seamless and stress-free. Here's what we ordered: Tom Kha Soup: Excellent, bursting with rich and vibrant flavors. Summer Rolls: My wife loved them--fresh and perfectly prepared. Mango Mood drink: Another hit, beautifully balanced and refreshing. Wine: A familiar choice for my wife that paired well with the meal. String Beans and Eggplant: Very delicious, with bold and flavorful seasoning. Crying Tiger: Unfortunately, this dish didn't meet my expectations and is one we wouldn't recommend. Overall, the food was excellent, aside from the Crying Tiger, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Paul for his attentiveness and genuine kindness. We highly recommend Signature Thai Bistro for its delicious offerings and top-notch service.“

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

“kinda hard to get a reservation and when we did, we have always kinda got a small table where my man's knees are touching mine. he's 6'2''. other than that, the vibes are really chill and the food/drinks are always bomb“

“Great food, service and creative cuisine! Not your average restaurant - very creative tacos 🌮!“

“I was at The Richland for the ASID Gala & thoroughly enjoyed the venue. The space is lovely & uniquely laid out with multiple areas & rooms. The food & service were terrific.“

“Love love love Finneys! Right in the heart of the orange circle! Great prices! Excellent happy hour snacks! Love the games and the fun stuff! Misters outside when its hot . Great service! And fun for a date because you can walk around the orange circle and look at all the antique stores ! During prime time parking sucks on the circle. Thats the only bad thing .“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“Es el mejor restaurante de comida Peruana rn California, una excelente sazón 100% recomendado“

“Good price compared to all the hotel restaurants around it. Excellent serving staff. The food is good and the bar has a decent selection of beer with some wine and spirits.

Went several times as a better choice than hotel restaurants. They seem to make their own battered delicious sides - the batter is light and tasty and well flavoured.

It's a bar so has alcoholic drinks. They are... okay? I'd maybe be more impressed if I was more of a beer person, as they have a decently wide selection. They have passable wine. I didn't think much of their margaritas, though I did like that they did a variety of flavours as a flight.“

“I have coming to this location for about a year now and have had the privileged to me most of all of the bartenders and to be honest I sometimes only stop by to grab food .. my fave is bacon wrapped hot dog , it’s loaded and so yummy. Also, all the finger foods are amazing and I’m able take home to indulge during my movie nights at home. One last thing - Amanda the bartender is one of my favs she’s so nice and even with a full bar she makes you feel like you’re the only one there giving you all the attention.“

“Thank you so much to our server Owen and all the staff here at Yang Ming. My family came here to celebrate the life of my Cosuins husband Bo. He loved it here so much. You guys are so nice and attentive. The food is amazing and thank you for allowing us to celebrate here and deal with all our emotions. 5 stars all around . You guys are like family thank you for the sweet serving“

Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“Woody's Diner is one of my favorites and I'm coming tonight to order BBQ Chicken Salad (my favorite) and bringing 2 friends with me to order too sometime around 5Pm“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a variety of dishes: orange chicken, lemon chicken, garlic shrimp, kung pao chicken, lo mein, egg fried rice. All items were delicious and authentic. I grew up in Diamond Bar and have always enjoyed this establishment. After visiting China last year, I’ve found myself craving authentic Chinese cuisine more often and this always satisfies the craving! My kids are picky eaters and they like it too. We’ll be back soon!“
