50 Best Cocktail Bars near Yorba Linda

“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.“

“Had the sea food tacos, very good. My wife had the carnitas! Loved it.“

“Great menu for food and there beer!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“My wife and I stopped by for lunch on a Monday. It was not at all busy so we were seated right away. We ordered legacy fries with garlic Parmesan cheese, harvest salad (arugula and artisan lettuce) and Dan Talk Thai (shrimp and salmon in coconut milk sauce over jasmine rice). Fries were one of the best I've had... crispy with the right amount of garlic and Parmesan cheese. The salad was refreshing with an Indian or Mediterranean spice dressing. The Thai dish was a nice balance of sweet and savory although the Jasmine was cooked a little al dente for our taste. Overall, we had a nice experience and will return to this farm to table restaurant.“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“Always a good time love this place“

“First time in and I love it. I guess we happened to be there on the 1 night a week they don’t have karaoke but was stoked to find they do happy hour all night on Monday. There was a comedy show going on and the crowd was awesome. Bartender was super nice. Drinks were stiff. We’ll definitely have to come back for karaoke.“

“Hello,

My name is [Lottie ], and I’m a website designer specializing in helping food and beverage businesses establish a strong online presence.

I noticed California Cocktails doesn’t currently have a dedicated website. I’d love to discuss how a custom, mobile-friendly site can boost your product visibility, attract wholesale clients, and streamline inquiries—all tailored to your unique needs.

Could we schedule a quick call or chat to explore how I can help your business grow online?

Looking forward to hearing from you!“

“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!“

“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!!!!❤️“

“Bartender (Madlynn?) was very pretty and welcoming. Vibe was what I expect at a sportsbar and plenty of parking. When the Angels game started, I asked and they immediately threw the game on. No Complaints. If it was closer to home, I would be here all the time.“

“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.“

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

“Food was great , portions were huge , quality was top notch , Alaskan king crab legs were massive , staff very friendly and grateful for your business. Will def return“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

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

“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!“

“Bday! Great place and brought me a cupcake with candle!!!“

“Oh so swanky, oh so intimate, and oh so secretive
Reserve in advance or make sure you have time to spend while you wait in the waitlist.
I love speakeasies and I will be returning to this one. I don't remember the drinks names but one was in a Viking skull cup: tropical and sweet
This other one was glittery: refreshing and sweet. Make a reservation in advance as this is a pretty small place.“

“food is so delicious and service is excellent“

“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.“

“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“

“Finney’s has a busy sports-pub vibe, with TVs angled every booth and a bustling indoor/outdoor table scene. The service was great despite the place being packed, and we appreciated the attentive listening (i.e., including small details like easily receiving room-temperature water instead of ice water on first request). Our flatbreads were excellent as well.“

“My favorite bar in Orange County. The food is great and everyone here is amazing. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I love the burgers and cold shiner bock on tap. Great wings great fries great steaks great cocktails. The list goes on. So many tv's you can watch all the games from anywhere in the place. Eat some delicious food. Snack on some chips and salsa while drinking some cold beers and watching sports. I'm a big fan. Highly recommend it.“

“Delicious food and worth the price.

The view is lacking and the sun hits your face during the afternoon…

However! The food was excellent! It came out quickly and the drinks were strong.

The quality of the lamb was fantastic, and the service was amazing!

I totally recommend coming here just for the food. The experience of the rooftop wasn’t anything to write home about, but if we can keep on topic, it’s worth the price of the plate.

5 stars because it was a lovely experience when it comes to dinning!

Parking is pricy!“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“I had an amazing experience at Tacosway Mexican restaurant! Cristian really stood out by expertly crafting drinks that perfectly complemented the delicious food. Every bite was a delight, and the vibrant flavors truly made my meal memorable. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, enhancing the overall dining experience. I'm definitely looking forward to going back, especially when Cristian is working—his exceptional service and skill made all the difference! Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine!“

“Unique food presentation & taste good !“

“One of the secret gem in Orange. Delivering the finest Spanish and Italian cuisine. The cocktails and food are out of this world. Friendly service, and always on top of their game. .“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Place was clean.“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“Pretty good food, but it seemed like the demographics of the diners were mostly American and/or non-Chinese. Perhaps the food speaks to them. The staff were all super friendly and always had a smile on their faces, which was a nice change of scenery from the typical. This place had a homey feeling. And the best part? They serve beer and cocktails! You can have your orange chicken with a six pack!“

“We stopped in for a Dino while waiting for the teen to get ready. I had the Golden Toad Mango cart beer and my wife had the violet lady. The beer was great! A nice mango finish in a classy glass. The violet lady was fantastic! Present well too. $18 drink and $10 beer, not bad for the Westin“

“Come here for happy hour. Cheap drinks“

“♡♡♥︎♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡“

“amazing atmosphere! the crowd at the bar is the best in orange county. beat prices in town, great community, all the Regulars make you feel welcome!“

“We came for the ambiance but the food and drinks were out of this world. The service was impeccable and let me just add the food was delicious. I had the birria tacos and my finance had the brisket grilled cheese. Both dishes were flavorful and filling.

Now for the bar. Our drinks were perfect. They were well balanced so even though they were boozy (2 and I was good) they were delicious!“

“The food was delicious we had Brisket Sliders and the salmon dinner our first night. The second night we had Pepperoni Flatbread and the Roasted Chicken delivered to the rooftop pool. Service was excellent, friendly staff and we loved the food. For breakfast we chose the Huevos Rancheros and Oatmeal both were so good. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends!!“

“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“

“Drove by this bar and immediately thought, I'm always down for dive bars, and this place definitely brought me back—way back! The moment I stepped in, the smell hit me—a mix of nostalgia, bad times, drunk times and good times! The people were super friendly, creating a true neighborhood haunt vibe.
The bar offers classic features like pool, darts, and shuffleboard, plus sports on TV and a jukebox that keeps the atmosphere lively. On certain days, they serve snacks like nachos and other bar favorites, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The prices are great too—definitely a place where you can have a good time without breaking the bank.
Overall, this place oozes charm and character. I’ll definitely be coming back for more good vibes, great company, and some fun games. A hidden gem in the neighborhood!
