2nd and last time I'll be coming back to this location. I asked for vodka my second round and the bartender thought I said tequila, this is ridiculous how can you get it wrong , you' should be a professional at your job, if you're working as a bartender serving the drinks how the people ask , I'm not going to say any names. The bartender said I put the bottle in front of you to show you what I poured , but they defeats the purpose of what I asked for. Just please take the time to re- train your bartenders no matter the pressure, to get what the customer asks for. I wasn't on planning to get crossed but the bartender got me the way iam now. I just want to make sure that anyone is reading this to be aware of what they put into there body before drinking it. The music was great the vibes were right but the bartender was wrong. So my night was complete a disaster by 1am .

Open mic comedy is fun. The karaoke looks ?

This bar was super awesome on a Wednesday night at 11:00 p.m. My friend and I came in because not much else is open in downtown Santa Ana at that time on Wednesday. The security guard (Christian?) and bartender (Brian?) were so awesome. Brian made us two standard drinks that would normally be underwhelming, but he made them noticably and exceptionally well! (We ordered a sex on the beach and Tito's vodka) The man knows what he's doing and was super personable. The security guard was accomodating with my service dog and came and chatted with us on several occasions. Even when I spilled my drink, he was really cool. We had some great conversations and just felt well taken care of. We will be back! Those two guys made it worth remembering!

This used to be the spot to go to but haven't been in awhile. Definitely don't recommend coming here for drinks but the night life can be worth it, just all depends.

Bummer, was recommended this place by my brother. Waited at the bar and made eye contact with two bartenders and they just kept chit chatting. A couple came in and they got served right away. Waited a whole 10 minutes and left. Plus they serve drinks in plastic cups from what I saw

Enjoyed the drinks and the atmosphere. I enjoyed the music and dancing at the end of the night. I would just lower the volume a little. Otherwise, had a fun time and the service was decent.

I tipped $10 for 3 drinks and they still charged my card an extra $9. I will be calling as soon they open

Was charged $8 for a beer and gave the bartender a $5 cash tip. Today I noticed they charged me $10 on my card. I know cause i kept my receipt. $2 dollars isn't a lot of money but the fact the bartender piled on an extra $2 tip is f ed up.

The only reason to come back to Proof is Sam and Mary. Next level of customer service and amazing mixologist skills. Welcoming and professional ambiance. If you're looking for a drive bar that's safe for single ladies to come alone or with friends this is the place. I cannot express the kindness Sam and Mary gave my friend and I. Thank you so much Sam and Mary!!!

Last night shooting has been devastating in our community. Heart breaking. My question to the bar owner. How did this man with a gun. Got into this club with all your security 's in the front door.

DO NOT go to this bar! Apparently they dont search people before letting them in. A young woman was shot in the abdomen by a guy inside of this bar. They have not made a statement, reached out to the family, or even acknowledged their negligence. When i posted a comment on their IG page they deleted my comment and blocked me.

A woman got shot. They need to be checking for weapons. All they check is your ID. I don't understand how an established bar allows people to walk in armed. This is not a safe place. Please be aware of your surroundings.

The best dance club in Orange County. The only and best option for dancing and a nightclub experience on a weekday. Drinks are made well, karaoke is fun, and the music is usually good. The only recommendation I would make is to leave anything that you don't need in the car or at home, as the security and search protocols are fairly strict. I find it less of a hassle to just leave all my things except my ID and card in the car when I go.
