“Arguably the best cocktails in Downtown Santa Ana, Club 616 is the gold standard for DTSA watering holes.

Serving up delicious celebratory poison and pure vibes.

616 provides daily specials, trivia nights, live DJs spinning vinyl, and jazz bands every week.

The drinks are consistently exceptional, but what truly sets this place apart is the staff and security, who are always kind, respectful, and welcoming.

This is a business I’m proud to support. Cheers to you, 616!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I gotta say, Las Vegas Bar takes your mind off of whatever. Santana jente vibe. Chill people. Beautiful girls on their hustle. Gotta speak Spanish though, not even spanglish, espanish. Some where to lay back and get drunk off the girls. I've been just a few times to unwind, switch gears, works every time. No one trippn, buena jente.“

“What can I say other than I just got one of the best services and treatment ever, I was quickly given a menu and recommended the tacos or sliders and went with the sliders which were great both the asada and chicken. You’ll get a small portion of meat but the bread and onions is incredible and very good pairing with the quality meat. 5/5 would recommend to friends or family.“
