50 Best Cocktail Bars near Buena Park

“Loved the Atmosphere! The Service from the time we entered was really good! Everyone was very friendly! There were two of us and we shared three plates: Cheese Platter, Bacon Jam with baguettes and the Escargots that swam in an Herb butter with bread slices on the side. We each had two Drinks: I had the Grey Witch and the Cocktail Louisian, which was my favorite of the Two! My daughter had the zodiac cocktail Taurus and the Roses BTS. We definitely will go back and try their Tea Service!“

“Luis is absolutely amazing! He's one of the best bartenders I've ever met. So kind and attentive. He always remembers me and my drinks and is always excited to see his customers. Josh the KJ js pretty awesome as well always friendly and has a smile on his face. Will definitely be back.“

“Excelente servicio el personal muy amable“

“Service: came here on a Friday night after medieval times. There were only about 4 or 5 people there so the service was great. Food: NADrinks: the drinks were good, beer was cold and mixed drinks were poured right.Pricing: the pricing here is great. Cheaper than most dives bars that I have been to. Location (int./ext.): this place is located on the Main Street but the parking is in the rear. I don't think there is street parking - which is probably why not many ppl stop in since it's kinda dark from ours as well. Suggestion: is the sign up front said "bar" and "parking in rear" in a bright sign would probably get more people in - im assuming there aren't any of those signs since I didn't see any. But the inside is chill, they have a pool table and a juke box.“

“Had an impromptu lunch with a friend and decided Korean BBQ. This place is on the top level at The Source. The meat quality was great and the banchan was good! Friendly staff and bright and airy interior. No frills, just good reliable BBQ with all the sauces, and both rice paper and radish wraps. Will definitely bring entire family back!“

“It's been so long since I've dined here and was surprised at their renovation, including a small bar too! The service was pretty standard and efficient but not really any pleasantries exchanged. The food was as I remembered, but seemed rather limited, based on my memory. As my grandsons grow older, I hope we have a chance to take them here for the festivities on this 90th year of operation. Special events include photographs with characters, and a proclamation by local officials. I believe there is also special promotions throughout the year!“

“Everything was delicious! From the simple and clean decor, the wonderful and extremely helpful wait staff, the tasty cocktails, to the beautiful and wonderful appetizers and entries. The ceviche, flautas de barbacoa, salmon al pastor, vegetables -YES - and tres leches cake with the Tamarindo cocktail are amazing. The wait staff was attentive, always taking a moment to make sure you enjoyed your meal....always comfortable, never rushed. A a great place to go, relax, and enjoy really good Mexican cuisine.“

“The FOOD is a party on a plate!!!“

“We had dinner reservations there with a friend from out of town and let me tell you it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in the service was amazing. We were greeted and welcomed. The food and ambiance were amazing. Drinks were also so very good!! Would highly recommend it!!“

“A unique atmosphere to dine in. Been coming to the cellar for many years and love the place.“

“It was my first time visiting this restaurant and overall, it was great. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and we were promptly seated with no reservation. The ambiance was perfect. I took my child and didn't see a kids' menu, but the host mentioned they served kids' plates with portions that were perfect for my toddler. The food and drinks were delicious. Food portions are large and ideal with the price range. The staff was friendly, and the restrooms were clean. Although we didn't order cocktails, we sat across from the bar and noticed the bartenders making impressive drinks; they seem like skilled mixologists.“

“It's my favorite food, very delicious“

“We stopped by for a family meal, the first week of May. It was a Sunday afternoon Cinco de Mayo, a little after 4pm. The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated. The staff was really friendly. They had a DJ playing, music was a little loud. I ordered my kiddos the bean burrito with cheese, they all really enjoyed it. My husband and I shared the sampler plate. It comes with a little of everything; quesadillas, bone in wings, small taquitos and nachos. The food was okay, there was no wow about it. The chips and salsa were really good! (Chips and salsa always hit). I asked the server if they could happy birthday to my sister it was her birthday that day! They brought her out a small dessert and sang her happy birthday! Thank you staff! The staff was amazing but the food was ok. It's a cute restaurant.“

“Awesome speakeasy in the Anaheim Packing District! I knew it would be hard to get a reservation here so I started looking a couple of months before my birthday. Unfortunately, they only release reservations a few weeks at a time & as soon as my desired date was available, it was already fully booked. Since we were staying in the area, we decided to see if they would take walk ins. Unfortunately, the hostess said that they were fully booked for the night. I was super bummed & was ready to walk away but decided to ask if I could put my name down in case there was a cancellation. Fortunately, she said if we came back in an hour, she could take us in before the next resy came in. Score! We had dinner at their neighboring restaurant & waited until we got a text. The space is super neat! It is dimly lit, they had a piano player in the corner, & cozy. We went in February so their drink menu was love themed. I recommend getting something from their seasonal menu & their regular menu so you can taste the best of both worlds. They make their cocktails delicious & strong. The bartenders are friendly & gave awesome recs. They also serve apps here.“

“Took my mom and sister for mother days Had my other sister and my nephew (7months) and they set us where it was least noise. Food was 100% overexcited expectations. It was a busy weekend but they were super nice and they give us complementary chips and the appetizers came out fresh and fast. It's a great place to go hang out with friends or special occasions. staff are amazing. They check on you constantly, I give this 100 out of 100“

“Tonight was our first Patty’s experience and it was absolutely amazing! The food, the wine, the service, and the atmosphere were all spectacular. 5⭐️“

“We totally recommend this restuarant! Everything about it we would give 5 stars...friendly, atmosphere, food, service and the extra touch they give to make you feel appreciate you chose them. They have serial locations so we are happy we can try one closer to home in Santa Clara“

“Grrat food and drink. Nice beer selection. Servers were very friendly. I will say that, in the few times I've been, the servers do not seem to check back that often. It's probably because you pay at the table but I've wanted to order more and when nobody checked back, I just gave up and payed.“

“Excellent service great views awesome food“

“The best place for a foodie !! Mom and I had a blast!! She ate the Governor Tacos I had the Black Tide. I ordered the Hibiscus taco and the Mushroom taco from the vegan section. Mom LOVED the tacos. The flavors vibed delectably. The Black Tide was fresh, firey, the mango and apple with the shrimp was diced to perfection. The vegan tacos were amazingly delicious. The Hibiscus was dipped in the dark sauce. WOW!!! The blue tortilla was a bonus. It was so romantically blended. There is something about Hibiscus ?. The mushroom taco blended perfectly with the dark sauce. The limonade was just right. What a spectacular lunch. See you next time.“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“Enjoyed a birthday dinner here with my family. Our reservations were ready right away when we arrived. 2 hour limit on the dinner but not always enforced. The ambience is dark with low lighting. Nice decor and new booths. The LKSD ceiling sign is nice. The music is a bit loud sometimes though. The drinks are made very well. Super tasty but pretty pricey at $17. The beers we got were good but they don't have a menu of them for some reason. The salmon dish we ordered was very tasty. All the steaks were delicious. Really liked the flavor of the mashed potatoes. Doesn't even need the gravy! I would come again for sure but mostly for special occasions.“

“Great service. Great food“

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

“Came on a Monday night. Metered street parking. Place was not too busy. There was a larger party seated outdoors and all of the servers were focused on taking care of them first before others. Took forever to get seated and to get the check. Food as always is consistently good, quality veggies and meat. Sukiyaki broth comes with an egg on the side to dip the meat in and curve the sweetness. Takoyaki not pictured but presentation was nice and taste was good.“

“Went here for a date on a band night and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is romantic and a little edgy with some cool framed paintings on the walls. Every Wednesday and Sunday, a band comes in and plays. And the drinks were well crafted. My date and I had the Vietnamese Shame Wheel and Pedro Pascal. They were sweet and balanced out with some spice. The glasses came frosty and chilled and our server was friendly and attentive. A must-see and I plan on coming again for sure!“

“Gotta love this spot mikayla, patrick get to know you & they know what you drink and they are always happy n quick with there service always friendly. If you catch Bobby may on a friday night . He knows how to spin those records. Definitely recommend this place“

“The atmosphere sets this place apart. It was perfect for a special date night with my boyfriend and I. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. Wait time seemed to be a little long for drinks but they were pretty busy. They seem to have a lot of bussers but not actual servers available to take and place your order. Plenty of bartenders and not a lot of people at the bar at the time I came. I enjoyed the music and our food as well. I had the Buddha Rice that was highly recommended and my man had the Mahi Mahi. It was a very nice experience overall maybe next time I’ll reserve an earlier time anticipating that they have more staff available. If my wait time for drinks is always this long then I probably wouldn’t continue to recommend.“

“Good food nice place enjoyed the vegan options“

“We relaxed and enjoyed the end of a busy day here and the gentleman who served us let us know as we paid our tab it was his first day. He was professional and very pleasant. Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“Second time visiting this restaurant and once again it did not dissapoint. Ropa vieja with maduros and congri was delicious. Tried their flan for first time. Was delicious! Im not a fan of flan. The texture is either rubbery, mushy or too sweet buy the flan here was the Best flan I've ever tasted. Firm, but smooth texture with delicious topping. Definitely making this restaurant one of my favorites.“

“Definitely recommend. Walked in and instantly loved the decor and vibes. The bartender was super friendly and amazing. The drinks were delicious and strong just how I love them. We went on a crafting and karaoke night.“

“Visited off the hook for the first time Wednesday night. The place has such a great vibe! We had excellent service, the hostess was so nice and excited to share her input and the waiter was top notch. Our meals were delicious! (Soup, lobster roll and Chilean seabass were all very yummy!) Go check it out!“

“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.“

“Wonderful barstaff . Lovely place to chill and sup a few G&T’s“

“Sooooooo good omg. It's been a while since me & my boyfriend found a good new restaurant where everything from service, location, price and (of course) the food is awesome. The service was super quick and on point, we didn't have to wait for anything or flag anyone down. We got the house burger and a breakfast sandwhich and it was great- I am also a sucker for brioche bread omg. Will def be coming back!“

“Celebrated cinco de mayo where they had a happy hour. Music inside was a bit too loud. We got the fried red snapper where you can have it cooked with garlic and it was super flavorful. the carne asada was ok and a bit tough. i would not get the oysters as they were bland. overall a good experience and decent happy hour menu“

“Love this low key, high end bar. Best of both worlds. Dark and warm atmosphere. Phenomenal happy hour and cocktails. We came for after dinner cocktails and ordered an espresso martini and a "Coffee and Cigarettes" and they were perfect! FYI It's not closed. Try the door!“

“It’s a wonderful place to hang“

“I've been here a few times, and it's always to catch up with a good friend over brunch. There is plenty of space between you and the next table so you can talk without everyone hearing your conversation. And there's just something comforting about their big coffee mugs and the food. The food portions are huge by the way. I always take it home. I love leftovers. I don't think you can go wrong with your order. Everything I've had here has been delicious. The only thing that is difficult is the parking situation. I don't come here on busy nights because of the parking.“

“First Timer to a Ramen restaurant and as one should asked about the menu and customer favorites. Service was very helpful, very busy and staff were pleasant. I chose customer favorite and enjoyed it with warm sake. Entree was sufficient but many other tables had starters. I believe I would return to try another dish. 5pm is before the rush, we sat at 6pm and inside sitting was packed.“

“Good people and good times“

“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!“

“The small restaurants were very good and clean. I also loved the food there! A little overpriced but great food. Overall would recommend to eat with friends“

“Great food, nice and friendly crevice.“

“Fantastic spot. Went on Friday night and was lucky enough to get a table. From the time we approached the store the staff was friendly and helpful. Our party of 8 was quickly sat down. The waiter was great going on the menu since we were all first-timers. From the appetizers to the main dishes everything that was ordered to the table was great. The portion sizes were very big. The also have a full bar. Most try spot if looking for good BBQ in the area.“

“KJ!!!! You were INCREDIBLE!!! This was our first experience and we wanted to do something special for our anniversary and I'm so glad that we chose to come here! The atmosphere was energetic! The view?? I mean wow!! The food was fantastic! But overall, our waiter KJ went above and beyond to make us feel valued and special! We would come back, just to have him as our waiter! Thank you so much KJ for everything that you did! We really appreciate you and we both had such a wonderful time! Rise Rooftop, we will DEFINITELY be back!“

“What an absolutely amazing experience. The staff were wonderful and had some yummy cocktails and food. Thank you.“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Very intimate setting. No food is available at this place it’s definitely strictly alcohol, however the ambiance makes you feel like you are in a European Train from a movie like the Tourist with Angelina Jolie or 007 with James Bond.The clocks on the wall, the decor, the windows, the dim lighting allows you to get lost in the moment and lose track of time and just enjoy the ambiance and vibe with friends.Highly recommend for a first date or a night out on the town with friends.Parking: This bar is at the packing house in Anaheim and parking is a bit of a challenge, I recommend street parking about a block away“
