50 Best Cocktail Bars near Tustin

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

“This is the local spot for me and the hubs. Miguel is an excellent bartender, and all of the staff are welcoming, attentive and kind. We usually come for lunch and their happy hour is also great. Also can't miss the tacos from Fonda moderna next door (their sister spot). When we have a drink our kids can play outside on the patio, hit a ping pong, or ride their scooters in the park. Overall a great spot!“

“Amazing food experience love it !“

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!“

“The food was delicious 😋 I had the crab cakes potato’s and sliced tomatoes, crab/shrimp cocktail and the clam chowder. The service was great and my server Ms Martha was so kind and always smiling. Thank you Ms Martha for giving me a great dining experience and for your service. I will definitely be back to The Crab Cooker in Tustin. I came over from Antelope Valley😊“

“A strip mall bar, that is exactly what it should be. Locals at the bar, cheap drinks and a jukebox playing. Will return for the drink prices alone and I'll stay for the good vibes.
Also the beer selection was excellent. Just good ol' reliable classics. Not a whole lot for the beer nerds but this isn't really that kinda place.“

“Delicious and very nice set of menu“

“Being from North Texas we are very picky about our Mexican food and this place is very tasty, clean and friendly. Thank you for the wonderful food. See y’all soon“

“Service was fast and excellent, the ambiance was fascinating and really makes for a special evening, the drinks were so fun to watch them make, smoked drinks especially. The patio was large and lots of seating. The food was fresh and delicious. Great place for a date or night out with friends !“

“The outside does not represent the dope interior vibe!
Bartenders are great & friendly.
Crowd is chill, mix age group.
Tables n booth available for bigger groups.
Back has a taco truck, lots of space, a dj, and heaters. Win win.“

“Fantastic classic rock cover bands every night from 9pm to 1am! Great bar selection and drinks are priced right.“

“The food here is always good, we also like the drinks they make. My only complaint would be all the little flies flying around it gets a little annoying. They need to bring back the creme brulee. Otherwise its a great place to grab some food and drinks.“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“Great time! Bartender Trish and Security Chemo make it a great time. I’d be back just for them 😜“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“Great exhibits educated team on floor ! Cool And calm environment ! Lots of refreshing recharge snacks beverages etc“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was such a lovely experience to dine at Viamara for our ladies night. The atmosphere was beautiful, warm and welcoming, with a lovely indoor-outdoor aesthetic. The service provided from everyone was excellent, especially from our server Jason. Additionally, we absolutely loved all the dishes prepared by Chef Robert, as they were all so delicious and very memorable. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a nice evening. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon!“

“Great food and service. Thanks for hosting my 23rd!“

“Always a good time love this place“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Topside is such a fun rooftop bar in Newport. I missed the sunset when I went last weekend but the view from up there is still beautiful. They have a DJ playing mellow tunes, low-key and relaxing, though requests are not allowed and the volume stays moderate. The crowd is a nice mix of old and young, giving it a lively yet chill vibe.

We were seated right under the heat lamp so it was surprisingly warm and cozy. The Photo Booth added an extra element of fun to the night. Drinks and snacks were great too, perfect for a casual evening with friends. Definitely recommend checking it out.“

“Buen ambiente.la música variada, que no paras de bailar..😃“

“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!!!!❤️“

“It's worth your while to come and experience it.“

“I had such a beautiful experience at CDM Restaurant in Corona Del Mar. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with the perfect coastal vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a mini getaway. The service was warm, attentive, and professional from start to finish.
The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Whether you’re going for a date night, girls’ night, or just a special dinner, this place is such a great choice.
Highly recommend if you’re in the Corona Del Mar area and looking for amazing food and a lovely ambiance. Can’t wait to go back 🤍✨“

“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.“

“Above and Beyond Service — Thank You, Cienna!**

We had an unforgettable experience, and it’s all thanks to Cienna.

I had originally made a reservation thinking it was for the rooftop at Valencia so my wife and I could enjoy fireworks for her birthday—but that was my mistake. The reservation ended up being for the lobby-level restaurant, which didn’t offer the view I had planned for. Totally on me.

That’s where Cienna stepped in and absolutely saved the night.

Without hesitation, she took the initiative to contact the sister restaurant on the property—the *correct* location I meant to book—and worked her magic to see if they could accommodate us. She didn’t have to do any of that, but she genuinely cared about making our evening special.

Because of her effort, coordination, and follow-through, everything came together perfectly. What could have been a disappointing mix-up turned into a seamless, memorable birthday experience for my wife.

Cienna is the definition of top-tier hospitality—proactive, thoughtful, and truly invested in the guest experience. If you’re lucky enough to be helped by her, you’re in great hands.

Management: take note—this is someone you want representing your brand.

Thank you again, Cienna, for going above and beyond and making my wife’s birthday one to remember! 🙌“

“Great menu with lots of diversity...there is something for everyone. We usually go with 3 to 4 people in our party and often share because that allows us to try more of the menu and we have always enjoyed each and every item we have selected from the menu. Beer selection is great...almost as large as the food menu. I have always had good service at all of the Finney's I have been to for lunch or dinner... Orange, Brea and Camarillo. Great restaurant!! I would highly recommend you try it...you will not be disappointed.“
