6 Best Dive Bars near San Clemente

“This building was just your average bar, but the service and clientele were phenomenal!! I was in town visiting my son at Camp Pendleton for Thanksgiving. Jess didn't just give suggestions of a place to try and get reservations for Thanksgiving dinner, she called, got reservations set up, and made it happen for us. I instantly felt at home and made life long friends.“

“One of my favorite local dive bars. The crowd is always friendly, and it’s easy to strike up a conversation with people. Liz behind the bar is the best—super welcoming and makes killer margaritas and lemon drops. They also serve pizza from Sonny’s, a local Italian spot, and it’s honestly some of the best bar food around. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re in the area.“

“The foxx is the best If you want a good place This is it“

“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.“

“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!“
