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 !“

“We recently celebrated by husband's 40th in the semi private room at this location and it was a fantastic experience. Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout planning stages with regular email exchanges and phone calls to ensure we were aligned in the food expectations and overall experience. The night of the event he was there onsite to ensure we had everything we needed and Savannah oversaw the service. She was impeccable and our 30+ guests were treated with great care and attention. The space was lovely and the overall experience was truly exceptional. Thank you for making this event so special for us!“

“Best bar in California hands down!“

“excellent bar keepers and bands!!!“

“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.“

“My husband and I came to eat here and loved the food and service! The music and the environment was very pleasant. We will definitely be coming here again. 😊“

“Excelente place , delicious food and cocktails 🍹 Plus the services is a 5 ⭐️ i will definitely go back to el matatan 🙌“

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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. .“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was vibrant and enjoyable. The food was satisfactory but had room for improvement. The chicken club sandwich was flavorful, though the chicken breast was significantly smaller than the bread. It would be better to either resize the bread or enhance the portion of chicken. Our server was capable and attentive; however, he rushed us to close out at the end of our meal because he was finishing his shift, which was a bit off-putting. Despite this minor inconvenience, I still had a pleasant visit and would definitely return.“

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

“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! I always get a mushroom taco there - they have great! mushrooms!!“

“I have been eating at Mandarin Taste since I was 4 years old. Since when they used to have to polaroid pictures taped to the wall where you waited for your seat. Since the shopping center was a thriving place for business.
I have been gone from the area for years now, but I came home over the summer and after a shopping trip at Brea Mall, I craved some Szechwan beef and nostalgia. Upon walking in, we noticed some small changes. The polaroid pictures are gone (mines was up there!) but everything else was exactly the same. Including the staff. They have of course aged as we all have, but I remember them in their younger years. We ordered all our old favorites. The pu-pu platter, chow mein, fried rice, and Szechwan beef. All of it tasted exactly the way it did the last time we had it. The consistency of this place is insane and much appreciated. The service was good too. I don't have any issues with Mandarin Taste and we always had great food and a good time here over so many years. Graduations, births, birthdays, and job promotions. All celebrated here. It made me sad to see the shopping center as desolate as it was. In the 80's and 90's, it was a busy place and again, many memories being there. I'm glad to see that Mandarin Taste has been able to remain and among so much change, they have been able to stay the same. Thanks for the memories. Please support this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“I have coming to this location for about a year now and have had the privileged to me most of all of the bartenders and to be honest I sometimes only stop by to grab food .. my fave is bacon wrapped hot dog , it’s loaded and so yummy. Also, all the finger foods are amazing and I’m able take home to indulge during my movie nights at home. One last thing - Amanda the bartender is one of my favs she’s so nice and even with a full bar she makes you feel like you’re the only one there giving you all the attention.“

“Es el mejor restaurante de comida Peruana rn California, una excelente sazón 100% recomendado“
